Programming / Help needed forking Angband variant
« on: December 24, 2011, 05:04:35 AM »
NOTE: Please forgive me if you've seen similar messages on other Roguelike forums lately; I've been trying to reach as many coders as possible, but don't intend to spam you. 
For the past several years, I've been trying to get a Norse-themed Angband variant past the "info-file hack" stage; I've had plenty of great ideas, but very little programming skill--some rusty Lua that I picked up doing modules for ToME 2, and C++ at the "hello world" level. Some interested coders have already helped me begin translating the ideas on my to-do lists, which led to a crash-prone alpha version (see the links at the end of this post).
Unfortunately, the original coders have moved on to other projects; I'm searching for willing and interested programmers who can help make my ideas playable. Here is the to-do list I originally wrote, organized by priority (and marking off the changes that were already made)--

If you'd like to contribute to my variant (and get devteam credit when a playable release is out), feel free to download the uncompiled source code here--

A Windows compilation (still very buggy) is available here--

Thanks for your time, and Happy Holidays!
