NextHack v1.4.1

Choose a tag to compare

@lrrosa lrrosa released this 29 Jun 00:15

A polish pass over 1.4.0. Two binaries as always — nexthack.nex (ZX Spectrum Next) and nexthack128.tap (real 128K).

Changed

  • Your pet dog now heals slowly over time (up to 12 HP), so a careful companion can be kept alive instead of inevitably wearing down.
  • d now drops an item onto the floor (to be picked back up later), as well as selling it when you're inside a shop.

Fixed

  • A scroll of teleportation now always moves you to a different room — before it could land you back in the same room, or even on your own square.
  • Displacing your pet onto a hidden trap now springs it.
  • You can no longer drop or sell the Amulet of Yendor (which could leave you able to "win" without carrying it).
  • Several messages that overran the 128K's 32-column line are shortened, and a latent buffer overflow in the item-description code is fixed.

See the CHANGELOG for details.
