Description Jim Marshall 2002-07-10 12:54:09 UTC
Attached is an ebuild for Angband, version 3.0.0. Angband is a popular 
roguelike hack-n-slash game, derived from the classic Moria. Angband can run 
either under the console, or optionally in multiple windows with simple tile-
based graphics under X11.

Note: This software can be built with GTK, but it also wants to be 
setgid "games" so that it can write score and save files. GTK refuses to run 
when linked to a setgid program, so I chose to drop the option to use GTK. The 
GTK support, in my mind, isn't enough to make up for the loss of system-wide, 
untamperable, score and save files. This is something of a big deal, because 
the idea in this style of game is that when you "die", the game's over for 
good.
