Programming / Re: Annual Roguelike Release Party

« on: March 27, 2010, 09:21:54 PM »

Interesting idea.    

The rolling release, project independence and community have really been the earth in which the genre has grown.  Maybe I'm just being an old goat, but I find an effort to apply a release calendar to the roguelike world oddly placed and artificial.  The appeal of contests is clear.  They provide a chance to showcase a certain sub-set of talents and confer bragging rights to the winners.  Release deadlines for the sake of release deadlines...why would anyone wish to do this?

Sorry if this seems hostile.  I just re-read it and it seems a bit so to me.  I don't think I will edit it though.  I'm feeling surly

The game looks cool and I would like to try it, but how do I unzip a .7z file?

That would be a 7zip compressed file.  You can grab 7zip at http://www.7-zip.org/

Wow, this takes me back.  It has been a long time and I think I will need to play a little Moria soon.  For an alternative source of binaries and sources check out Beej's Moria repository.

Hello.  I like pretty much anything roguelike and like everyone else I work on my own. 

Very nice board here.  Good crowd.  Thanks for making it.

Great looking release!  I'm looking forward to a little code diving in the morning.  Thanks for this.
