I get the impression that you want to create a Rogue-like game.

Well, the code for Angband as well as links to many variations thereof is on http://www.thangorodrim.net/ .

You can download it and play with it to your heart''s content. Just make sure to read the license agreement at the top of the files carefully. The game is very well written and is full of nice ideas, proper programming technique and useful algorithms.

A word of warning though, this is not easy code. And do not expect that just because it''s ASCII based then it will be easy to program.

Peace Out!
