Netwhack
Netwhack is a roguelike game written in Java by Oliver Richman.
Description
Netwhack is a fantasy roguelike for Java.
Netwhack is under development. Since the latest public release, several new features have been added to the game:
o A new type of dungeon is available (a "BDungeon") in addition to LCave.
o A movement cost and priority system.
o Magic items (such as a sword of strength).
o Gold is now an item which you can pick up.
o Many bugfixes, of course.
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.

Netwhack requires Java 1.4 or higher.
Latest release version is v. 0.4.8, from December, 2003.
