So I thought is probably a better place than the Roguelike reddit (where I have usually been posting updates to Larn).
So for Larn, it is pretty much in a frozen state except for general updates since its goal is to be nearly 'identical' to the historical version: Latest is at (no link) github.com/atsb/RL_M/releases/tag/14.1.5
Updates for Larn:
- APPDATA (roaming) is used for system files (please use the bat file for this).
- gnu17 (for c17 standard) is default.
- SUBVER was changed to avoid conflicts with the windows.h 'SUBVER'.
- Implemented WIN32 API code to the windows build to give it more of a native feel
- Implemented a Launcher so it is easier to use command line arguments and launch Larn
- Removed 'pounds' and added 'units' to the weight to make it more universal
- Added a check after being slain to prevent the player from accidentally skipping it by pressing a key
- Running is now possible
- Prompt without forcing the player to choose options (prompt without identify)
As for FreeLarn (my Apache 2 C++ rewrite), I am continuing to update it gradually, this is where 90% of my development effort goes since this is essentially a fork of Larn. Latest release is at (no link) github.com/atsb/freelarn/releases/tag/GNOME
I'll likely do a release at some point after I have added a few things I've got cooking.
Can't believe it has been 7 years since I started this.. how time flies.
