You have a superb feeling about this level.

Congratulations to Angband on today’s release of 3.10b.

[Update, 9 Jan 2009]:  Further congratulations on Angband becoming 100% GPL clean!  Now Angband can be included with Debian!

The roguelike genre is  the horseshoe crab of gaming.   It evolved years before most other games were possible, and hasn’t changed much since.

For historical reasons, most Roguelikes don’t even have graphics.   Any object on the screen is represented by a single ASCII character.   Today’s image would be depicted in-game as something like this:

#####
#   #
#   #
##+##
<.@..
and when the door is finally opened:
#####
#dTc#
#...#
##`##
<.@..
“surprise!”
