not spoily.


no, not.


definitely no spoiler space necessary.


you can stop spacing now...


honestly.


ok. enough...


say.... if ANY room has ALWAYS an odd number of rows and cols, (ah,
save from that little glitches every now and then), that means there
is ALWAYS a middle tile! and if you remember, the middle of a small,
early island is special, too.
so my idea would be, could someone verify, whether the odd *TSCHUNK*
or small, scurrying rat messages hint to a special property of the
middle tile? maybe some buried treasure, or something similar.
i know that some code divers reported no effects on the character with
these messages...

no love, no coffee... life goes on.

Nah. It's impossible to search for something like that without reading
the whole code, however I've never seen anything like that anywhere in
the code (while I did notice the code responsible for that island). So
it's a 99% "no".

Here's my post on that:

Just to dispel any remaining rumors, I wanted to add that after the
one-shot room effect is executed, the effect number and flag are
cleared. This means that the game has no way to check if the room had an
effect *after* it was executed.
