Untitled 0.7.8 released!

This time there are no new major gameplay-related features. The biggest changes are: the Quest Log and the "immersion" mode (full-screen). I believe that both of these features are essential for a modern roguelike. I had some doubts about the Quest Log and have been resisting that idea for years, but eventually gave up. The original idea was to add a built-in text editor so that players can make notes about things to do, but now I think that would be too hardcore.

The full-screen mode (triggered by Alt+Enter) doesn't mean higher resolution - it's still 800x600 pixels and if you have a bigger screen (I hope you do), the game window will not stretch (that would look ugly), there will be just some empty, black space surrounding the "playing" area. I it doesn't suit you, please let me know. And let me know of any other things, too. I need your feedback!

Known bugs:

  • Full screen doesn't work on Linux (but you can still maximize the window)

Detailed change log:

  • "Immersion" mode (full screen)
  • quest log
  • added possibility of starting game without an arm or leg
  • casting a spell takes 1 turn
  • name of the location is displayed on the interface
  • explosion of a fireball affects items on ground just like normal explosion
  • Shift+Q exits to OS, Ctrl+Q exits to menu
  • [bugfix] unique books and scrolls are no longer generated in random locations
  • [bugfix] when quitting the game, the option 'N' works properly again
  • [bugfix] there was no log message when using a staircase in the random dungeon
  • [bugfix] corpses destroyed by explosion no longer result in a message saying that they rot away

Have a lot of fun!
