The LOS looks good (haven't gotten around to test anything else ;)), you do have a small screen refresh bug though. Parts of the queset list will stay on screen after you close it, and after dying marts of the death message will hang around and mess up the "title" screen.

Screen refresh bug? Sounds strange for me. Please tell me more (your version of Windows, windowed/fullscreen mode etc). Did you press 'q' and then 'q' again and the quest entries will stay with game map? Did you change the font to 'Courier (10x20)'?

Yeah I use the 10x20 fonts (use a high resulution), running under Windows XP in maximised windowed mode (as far as I can tell there is no "fullscreen" mode...

What happens is that when I hit q and q again a few pixels will remain as vertical lines where the quest info used to be (only on the part that's outside the "play area" as far as I can tell). Looks like your update function clear each character individualy by drawing a box over it or someting, but it miss by 1 pixel in this case (because of the bigger font?)...

Hmm... Please make a screenshot of this bug. Probably size of XP Courier font differs from W9x one or maybe problem in XP font smoothness algorithm. Damn I just love the diversity of Windozes.

Here are several shots:

Show the quest list "leftovers" just after starting

The same thing except the map have been explored a bit

Notice the glitch on the bottom of the score list too

Here you can see the "leftovers" of the score list on the title screen.

And this is how the screen looks after creating the second character after getting killed

Minimizing and restoring the window will refresh the display nicely and remove all the garbage, so it's not a major thing, but it does look a bit ugly :)

P.S. The 4. set of "chest" scales (from the bottom) on the whyrm/dragon/whatever on the title screen is colored incorectly (I asume they are supposed to be brown like the rest). picky picky picky :p

Guess the Courier font supplied with Windows XP is different from the other Windows systems or something then...

You might want to look into a way to update the display that is not hard coded to the dimentions of a spesific font, or maybe bundle a set of fonts with the game rather than using the system default ones (seeng as they aparently are not identical across various Windows versions).

Anoying little things:

Halenger keeps dropping stuff in his own square, but I can't get him to move and I can't swap places with him, effectively making his rewards and what no unavailable (unless you kill him)...

If you rest (keep pressign the '5' key) on top of a stair it keeps saying "A stairway leading <foo>" every round...

Are "Tarnished Mail" & "Erik's choice" some sort of "test" equipment? Because I seem to get outragious amounts of exp for killing stuff while wearing it... My troll barbarian is now level 4 and has just barely begun exploring the 2. dungeon level!

What's up with the Russian hacker that bootet me out of the chat! I was having such a meaningfull conversation with GOGOblin or what's-his-name. Afraid people might stumble onto someting? :P

Oh, and why not say "... killed in town" rather than "on level 0 of the dungeon" (or whatever).

P.S. Tanks a million for leaving the sound off by default... No offence to the composer, but the music got realy anoying after a while (I'm not a big fan of ambient music in roguelikes...)

1. There is 1/3 chance to get Sting'o'Needle from Halenger in the begining. But you allways can get that gear after completing his quest.

2. I'll fix it in the next version.

3. Nah, 'Tarnished Mail' is only tarnished mail, poor iron plate, better sell it in the general store. 'Erik's Choice' might be very useful. There are several secrets in the village.

4. Well, mommy said don't chat with hostile hackers :)

5. Yeah, right. Maybe in next version. ;)

6. By default the sound is on, you can turn it off by setting volume to 0. BTW, special levels have various musical themes so turn music on, descend deep into the dungeon and enjoy :P
