I'm currently working on [[XAngband]], [[TinyAngband]] and now [[Angband/65]].
Not currently working on anything. :( [[User:PaulBlay|PaulBlay]] ([[User talk:PaulBlay|talk]])
I also understand Japanese, so if you need anything translated let me know.
 
Angband/65 progress track:
* Apr 16, 2009 : Finally caught up to Vanilla Angband (those folks code fast!).  Hopefully I will now be able to make some headway into the tickets due for the 0.0.2 alpha1 release.  Noticed a steady trickle of downloads (although it's barely worth downloading at the moment).  Fingers crossed that there'll be more feedback with the next release.
* Apr 17, 2009 : Made some progress towards a couple of significant tasks, but (unfortunately) also discovered (created?) a number of nasty new bugs. :-(  Probably best I take a break here now.
* Apr 18, 2009 : Currently struggling to find where I messed up with revision 69.  Found a couple of mistakes, but nothing that would cause the save file problem.
* Apr 19, 2009 : Got back on track, mostly, but the latest revision of Vanilla Angband has apparently introduced a compile error.  It's not my bug (for a change) but until it's fixed I can't tell if I have put in the latest updates correctly or not.
* Apr 21, 2009 : What happened to yesterday? o_O?  Today I did a lot of minor fiddling to remove compiler warnings.  Now down to 20 compiler warnings from 207 (VC++) and down to zero with Dev-C++ (Warning level 3).
* Apr 22, 2009 : Suddenly a mysterious run-time error appears. :-(  It's bizarre in that a function that has not been called is the cause of the crash.  I suspect some kind of pointer related problem. [EDIT - it was from forgetting to delete the *.raw files!]
* Apr 23, 2009 : Today I've been mostly considering minor compiler warnings.  In particular there are still almost 500 warnings (Warning level 4 now) about type conversions that may cause data loss.  I've added a macro that ''in a debug build'' will check bounds on some of them.  Lots more to do.  [EDIT] Now down to 438 warnings, time to stop for the day.
* Apr 24, 2009 : 72 open tickets, 49 closed.  Today I closed off a few tickets, ... added more than I closed. Had a bit of a scare with VC++, turned out to be some carelessness with a renamed file (original version left in project as well ...).
* Apr 25, 2009 : 71 open tickets, 55 closed.  I suppose this counts as progress. I am hopeful that I will be on schedule for the alpha1 release - but there isn't going to be much time to spare.
* Apr 26, 2009 : 77 open tickets, 58 closed.  Ever felt you're going backwards? ;-)  Did some fairly drastic hacking out of obsolete (from my perspective) code and have just started putting back the replacements.  It's going to be a long job.
* Apr 27, 2009 : 84 open tickets, 58 closed.  OK, that doesn't look like much progress from yesterday but I'm half way through a major update.  I might finally have the spell system working tomorrow! (Maybe).
* Apr 28, 2009 : That was overly optimistic.  Maybe tomorrow, this time?
* Apr 29, 2009 : 82 open tickets, 64 closed.  Beginning to doubt that I'll ever get the /64 spell system implemented. :-/
 
As always anybody interested in assisting, would you please contact me.  There is plenty of work for people of all levels of experience.
