Darn... Windows in the last few years started to fail to run my old SDL1.2 code with one of the updates :< This is clearly affected and I need to port to 2.0 and re-release.
FYI "carotid artery" is misspelled as "cartoid artery." Too bad there is a spell of death... that makes the discovery of the controls even more of a total gamble...
This is insane and awesome. :) The start of every game is just a scramble to learn how to move before the monsters get you. The inventory management is interesting and actually quite tactical and fun, with you having to think about which item should be left up on top. The spells are an icing on a cake. :D
The commands to break your weapon and open your artery are just evil. :D I'm really surprised you didn't include commands to rotate the view, as that would confuse the heck out of players.
I would also really like if number keys could be included in possible keybindings, because that would make re-binding some commands easier to manage. Even if it would mean more obscure commands to fill all the numbers.
Overall, as great game as ever, as original as ever. I will have to play it more to actually survive more than just three or four floors.

thank you for your reply.

Thank you for catching that! I sent the text.txt through a spell checker, but that flavour text was inlined in the C++ so escaped detection!
The spell of death works more like the Angband Potion of Death; so it does not make it a complete gamble.
