Monster descriptions are finally finished- there is now at least some description for every monster in the game. Later, I ended up making a lot more changes and now consider it a full variant.Ī bunch of mostly-very-minor monster tweaks. The Angband code is so well organized and commented that it's not very hard to figure out how to do a lot of stuff. I don't know much C code, but I was able to look at the source code and figure out how to make a few tweaks mainly just to make the game fit my monster list better. Can't call it a real variant because there are several real variants of Angband out there where people actaully added features, dungeons, and differences in interface and gameplay which I don't know how to do. I call it a semi-variant because hardly any code is changed, just a lot of modifications to the text files. Even when I game a liked didn't have any such editor, I would often design my own modifications to the game even though I couldn't actually make them playable -I did that with Nethack a good bit.) Anyway, I eventually came out with my own semi-variant of Angband called DaJAngband. Before that there was an even older game called BoulderDash which had a level editor which I had fun with. (There's an older and completely unrelated game called Duke Nukem which had a level editor, and I used to spend a lot of time making levels there. That's the kind of thing I have always liked to do with games. At some point, maybe about a year ago, I noticed an /lib/edit directory in the Angband directory where I could add, delete and change monsters, objects, classes and races as easy as modifying text files without doing any code. I've been playing Angband for over three years now. Most of it takes place long before the Lord of the Rings.) (For those who know Tolkien only by The Lord of the Rings, Morgoth is the main bad guy of the Silmarillion which is a history of Middle Earth. unless you make it take longer in which case you'll probably die before level 40, but you'll probably die before then anyway -I usually do. 100 levels doesn't take as long as it might sound. The goal is to get to level 100 and kill Sauron and Morgoth. Angband is a roguelike* game loosely based on the characters and monsters of J.R.R.
