After a long period of inactivity I got some free time and restarted doing my remake. I can't guarantee I will still do it, but I had some time for it and most probably will have. Here it is:
Todos: * Graphics! I simply cannot draw, especially the helmet icons (looking like ghosts) don't really look like helms. If anybody could do a better version - please send me a modified images.bmp file at ggl1vp.pl, replace 1 with @. Or any 32x32 bitmap with only 1 item. Or publish it at Imageshack (http://imageshack.us) and put a link here. * Temple works, but it doesn't really cost anything, so money is useless * Magic arrow - the path isn't straight * It is possible to equip several items of the same type (2 armors, 2 boots...) * In-game language sucks: cursed weapon of Strength(-1), potion of (none) etc. * No stairs, ascending and descending is possible anywhere * A shop to allow buying/selling * More items: wands, staffs and create subtypes: there is just 'armor' but there is no broken/leather/padded/scale version. * Random room generation
I guess if we had the source of the original CotW I could try to extract some parts of it; I don't have any idea for random rooms, but it's not the highest priority for now.
I release the game on GNU GPL and provide full source, I hope that even if my version will be discontinued some ideas or parts of source might help you. (But the source isn't commented almost at all and I've got a strange style of writing)
