Netwhack is a roguelike game written in Java by Oliver Richman.

The latest public release is version 0.4.8.

Netwhack is under development. Since version 0.4.8, several new features have been added to the engine:
o A new type of dungeon is available (a "BDungeon") in addition to LCave.
o A movement cost and priority system.
o Items can bestow effects to their wearers and bearers.
o Gold is now an item which you can pick up.
o Many bugfixes, of course.

The latest development version is 0.4.9. The source code is not available.

I've taken time to write a developer's journal, a captain's log if you will, as I write this game over the years. This and the game itself is available on the game's homepage.
