I'm probably going to continue working on this again, as it's a great little project, but i'll be taking a break from the manic coding sessions and catching up with real life work for a while :P

There is about 100 items in the game, and three player classes - Fighter, Archer and Spellsword. The game is definitely finishable with all three classes, I think the end game gets a little easy if you know how the game works, but we'll see how the learning curve is when you dont know the game mechanics like the back of your hand as i do :). It should take roughly an hour to win if you've got a decent run going.

A few tips for beginning adventurers:

- Wands in this RL work as ranged weapons that use mana instead of ammo. They have no "charges" like in nethack

- Bows do more damage if your speed is high.

- Likewise, wands do more damage if your magic is high.

- Archers dont suck - unfortunately the short bow you start with is rather underpowered - there are plenty of better bows though :)

- Hell Sorcerors are _dangerous_. Kill them immediately on sight.
