Hello everyone,

I have released a new version of the cellphone roguelike Dweller. The
new version includes a simple look command and support for ranged
attacks and magic (currently only implemented as a scroll of fire).
Several bugfixes are also included.

I would really like to encourage everyone with a Java enabled cellphone
to try Dweller and send me an email with phone model and if the game
works or not.


CHANGES
2004-05-31 v.0.4.531
FIX Corrected a typo (equiped=equipped)
FIX Compressed multiple "You die!" messages into a single one.
FIX Toned down the amount of damage made to prevent freak one hit kills.
FIX Tweaked the display routines
NEW Look/Target mode, numeric key 0 to activate/deactivate
NEW Simple magic, Scroll of Fire, Use from inventory and select a target
NEW If standing on an item a brief description will be shown.

2004-05-27 v.0.3.527
FIX Fixed a bug when exiting the game

Java, eh? Might this work on Palm OS (3.5, 4.0, 5.x) and Pocket PC if
they have MIDP installed?

If it were specifically ported and put some work into making an extra
user interface for these platforms... maybe. Probably not. J2ME is a
specific dialect of Java specialized for cell phones. And both of these
platforms have roguelikes available already, so there wouldn't be much
point. Windows CE has NetHack and PalmOS has (plug) CalcRogue, iRogue,
iLarn, kMoria, and paleoHack.

CalcRogue: TI-89, TI-92+, Windows & Linux.

I haven't thought of this before, but it might work to get Dweller to run
on a handheld. There is a Palm OS implementation of the MIDP and CLDC
specification that can be downloaded here:

http://java.sun.com/products/midp4palm/download.html

I haven't tried any of this yet, and my guess is that it may not work that
well. The biggest difference must be the way input is handled. There is
support for pointer events in MIDP 1.0 which means that I can add that
kind of input support in a future version of Dweller. I will probably do
this to get the game to run better on Sony Ericsson P800/P900 anyway.
