Next competition

[Nick]

Next comp is planned to be V3.0.6, so people can compare and contrast with 3.4.1. But it will be waiting until my current computer issues are sorted out (I'm hoping a day or two).

Ever thought of making a PWMAngband comp? I realize it would be hard to set up, because it's only designed for Windows (so Linux users would have to use WinE), and requires a separate server... but it would be fun to see how Angbanders would do with a realtime variant.

We could try. You can do character dumps, right?

The next comp is planned to be NPPMoria, so how about after that?

Or how about before? RL put my NPPMoria development to a screeching halt about three weeks ago. I am about ready to start up again and finish it off, but I don't think it is ready for a Comp.

How about a quick interim V?
I reckon I'm ready for my first comp, but I've only played V and FAangband.

This could be a problem. Currently, dumps are generated on the server and are only generated when a character dies. There are no "on-demand" dumps like in V.

Suicide when done with your character, then? A bit grim but works.

The dump is made when the character dies, or wins. If you play on a local server, it's immediately available.

Next comp should be up in a day or two. Feel free to make suggestions - I may even listen.

Current plan is to do an FAangband 1.4 character next, with the new Vanilla-style dungeon. There really should be another PosChengband comp soon, and I'll do NPPMoria when Jeff actually gets enough free time to get it in a playable state. And checking, I note that I have failed to do Halls of Mist 1.3.2, and I don't know what state Neoband is in. Also in the mix are Sil, and V (always).

So, suggestions for race/class/whatever on all of these are encouraged, as are savefiles.

You failed becaused I asked you to. Frankly, I don't think 1.3.2 is good enough for a comp. The next one will be quite different. I've compressed the dungeon again, from 48 to 30 levels. More pressure and difficulty! A faster and smoother pace of upgrading your equipment!

Maybe I'll actually manage to release it this summer. Coding HoM just didn't interest me for a long while. I've an itch that the fun is back.

Note that the first official competition started on 03-Aug-2003, so in less than a month it will be the 10th anniversary!

This asks for an Angband "frog knows" version competition no?

PosCheng next? Race? I vote spider, but encourage other votes.

Why not the completely untested Quylthulg??
