Powder (Build 116) (Game)

POWDER is a roguelike game, which is not a port of an existing roguelike. It is built around replayability and long term ergonomics, not short term learning. Author of this piece of software is Jeff Lait.

Changes:

* MSVC Express Edition 2008 project files and instructions added, created by Andreas Bohm.
* Tower shields are large. (Claudio)
* “You cannot hide from I!” is now “You cannot hide from Me!” (B. Perry)
* Looking at a square will also describe any smoke there.
* The dig spell now has the side effect of spraying the excavated rock shards, damaging those around you.
* Create Pit spell is now 10 MP rather than 15.
* Blizzards fill the air with sleet and snow, not sleet and slow. Though the latter does describe their special effect nicely.
* New spell: Sandstorm
* If a god decides to flamestrike you, you now get a few turns warning to prepare yourself.
* Monsters properly check safety of squares before stepping on them.
* If trapped inside a wall without Phase or Breathess, you will suffocate. (Strange Child, Julian Agloro)
* Helmets should be sorted together now. (Aapo)
* Empty bottles will be filled by down pour now. (Aapo)
* Entomb has a better message when blocked. (Aapo)
* Rocks are created when rocks fall on your head. (Aapo)
* Spells you can’t cast have (!) after them in the zap list (Aapo)
* Saving when out of disk space should no longer corrupt your last save game. (Aapo)
* Tossing an item hand to hand no longer takes a turn. (Aapo)
* Spears, knives, and daggers no longer let you equip stacks. (Aapo)
* You are only prompted to throw one spear of a stack. (Aapo)
* The animate forest spell now has its own icon.

While the highscore is kept, save games are never preserved between versions. Please wait until your current character dies before upgrading.
