Not a carnivorous mushroom, a magic mushroom that spawns more magic mushrooms. If you have never encountered the horrors that magic mushies can spawn, this level will cure you of your fatal ignorance. Said 'boss' monster is a pushover, but by the time you reach the boss, the other mushrooms will have caused plenty more mushrooms to spawn in and make the level utter chaos.

I'm pretty certain you can in fact wear down a wall given the "no effect" text received when not strong enough vs. the wall/tree/boulder and the lack of such text when stronger.

No, but unless you have massive leg strength with which to kick down the walls, you won't be getting to them any time soon.

In my wizmode tests I have found that massive leg strength only goes so far; it is not possible to kick down some walls even with, say, 200+ leg strength. For example, while said strength helps with kicking down the stone walls of the Cathedral you really need to have enchanted boots of kicking equipped if you want to do it within a reasonable number of turns.

Perhaps a test of how much the enchantment power changes the LStr required to take out a wall in one kick is in order, hmmmmm.

Durned lazy devs! :shakes fist:

(maybe we just need someone to implement all the stuff talked up in that IVAN .51 plan Erno got out of the IVANcon into the CVS build, who then announces on rgra)

Patience is a virtue, I believe.

Still almost a month and a half to raise that money.

I'd imagine that it'd be easy to test in wizmode. Wish for a helmet, wish for an socm, use it to make the helmet something rather nice but rustable like steel or whatever it is cap is actually making stuff into, walk around a bit and see what happens. Then if that reproduces, wish for a scroll of repair and use that, then continue walking around.

I was sort of half responding to you and half responding to vasilly, but anyway; I hadn't heard about the Linux port stuff so that's great for Linux users. Also while herself and cizra do use Linux, the impression I get is that this isn't exactly a portable thing goin' on here; if it's good enough, I guess they might work it into the Windows port somehow, but I dunno if that's gonna happen or not, soooooo kinda not feelin' it. Just my two cents on the whole thing.

I just feel it's really hard to be impressed by something that I can't use for a game I can, which to boot does not appear to have anything I as an end user can really appreciate (what good is a better mod system going to do me if the mods that can be made with it are only gonna be good on a particular brand of Linux?). When you say "come on guys it's really cool" it's kind of not gonna do any good if I don't have anything at all to go on beyond "I made something I think is neat but it only works on this oooooooone distro of Linux and then you also have to guess what I'm using for this other program to make it work"; I already took your advice to forget about the page (and only started caring when it started looking like you were looking for feedback 'cause you were expecting more) since I can't really make use of it and won't get even any tangential benefits.

(note: if this was something like a Mac-only roguelike, I'd hope I'd at least have screenshots and a little knowledge of the workings and presuming I had that I'd then be able to say something of worth like "looks neat, too bad it's Mac-only" or "I dunno, that mechanic sounds iffy"; this is some behind-the-scenes stuff that may be nice but I don't really futz with that much at all so even if I could look at it I would have very little ability to figure out whether it was good, bad, or a crock, and as mentioned since this is a GNU-only thing I'm pretty sure any mods made with it are gonna be GNU-only too, which cuts me out of the aforementioned tangential benefits of having a cool mod of the game, thus my interest is limited solely to your reaction to... not having any feedback! Well, you cut out enough of the potential audience, that's gonna happen)

I dunno how many people here subscribe to pure Linux. I know I'm not one of them, so I got nothing to say.
