''Calendar'' isn't even a term used in DF; what makes you think it should be highlighted in '''bold''' and be the redirect for '''season'''? I'm being picky, but why would anyone -search- for calendar? I'd argue this is a meta information page (guide?) that which doesn't deserve a direct search term. (In opposition to Season being Redirected here). Thoughts? --[[User:Markavian|Markavian]] 14:48, 6 November 2007 (EST) | ''Calendar'' isn't even a term used in DF; what makes you think it should be highlighted in '''bold''' and be the redirect for '''season'''?

:The number 100,800 is used all over the place in the game code, in various time-related uses. I ''think'' it's the length of a month in game ticks. Unfortunately for this idea, the number 12*100,800 does not occur at all in the game code. It's possible, then, that 100,800 is the number of, call them tocks, that are in a game year, with an unknown ratio between ticks and tocks. So that's not much help. Anyway, it is suggestive that 100800 is divisible by (12*28). Is it really possible that there are only 300 ticks in a day? I don't think so. More info as I discover it.<br/>—[[User:0x517A5D|0x517A5D]] 01:56, 19 November 2007 (EST) | :The number 100,800 is used all over the place in the game code, in various time-related uses.

::I had read on the forums that one day is 1200 ticks. 100800/1200 = 84 which is how many days there are in a season. So 100800 would be the number of ticks(frames) in a season --[[User:Karlito|Karlito]] 01:07, 3 December 2007 (EST) | ::I had read on the forums that one day is 1200 ticks. 100800/1200 = 84 which is how many days there are in a season.
