> Heroic Adventure! 0.1.5b (bugfix)

Played for a while, bugs:
- items seem to be visible in the dark (dunno if it's a bug or a feature,
though),
- 'd'rop doesn't work at all - it just displays your backpack,
- no autowalk/rest.

I do like the feel of the game. Maybe it's because I used to play ADOM a lot

In the game I just played, this does not seem to be true. My AC 32
character went from level 5ish to 11 without taking a single hit point
of damage. What killed him? A crash.

oh duh... I'm a dork. I fixed it for players and not monsters. *sigh* thanks
for pointing it out.

How do I use a scroll? The keybindings screen doesn't seem to say.

scrolls and wands will be operational in 0.1.6
spellcasting MIGHT be operational in 0.1.6

Incidentally, you would [r]ead the scroll to use it.

I am considering implenting the scribing of scrolls into spellbooks as well,
but that would probably be in a later version.

I haven't quite decided how to do spells/magic yet. I like the ADOM way, but
I also like the D20 system way. I imagine I'll come up with something in
between the two.
