just started playing a couple of games of powder,
and the first thing that really annoys me is that
every new game, nothing in my inventory is equipped.
i always seem to start with the basics but its just annoying
that none of it is equipped..
second, it my first game, it gave me a cursed sword
so I had no weapon! (it didnt take long for me to die!!)..
is there a way to double the screen size on the linux version?
and maybe use scale2x as well to smooth it out nicely??
shame I sold my gba. would have been a cool play on my flashlinker
there was also part in the dungeon where no wall was to my left,
just black.. should there not be a wall representation??
(tho I did like finding crystal mail on the first level a lucky escape!)
the start equipment seems to be too random, ie: i just started
with a pair of boots, 6 arrows and a bow and hat.
there also seems a bug printing the names of skills when reading a book.
eg: I read
Small Weapon Us
Medium Weapon U
Large Weapon Us
Ranged Weapon U
obviously its chopping the last word up...
I also had an unwinnable game, the first level had a stair down
to a room with no exits.. and I had explored everywhere on the
above level and it was the only ladder down...
