15 Steps Roguelike

I'm starting a game using TheSheep's 15 steps plan, doing a step per day.

I will be starting fresh but reserve the right to pilfer and pillage any of my previous projects for source code, as well as anything I can find online.

In January 14th at night (or January 15th in the morning) I will post my success or failure. I also reserve the right to use the most generous of time zones for determining the end date.

I will try post small status reports here as I go along- see you in 15 days!

-Ido.

New Homepage Design

I've decided it was time for an overhaul for my homepage.

The result:

http://www.tametick.com

Still need to tweak the colors for higher contrast, but I am happy with the outcome so far.

Most Played Roguelike - Poll Results

The final results on the poll are in:

Somewhat unsurprisingly, the top 4 are Crawl, Nethack, Angband & ADOM in that order (with Angband & ADOM tied for the 3rd place).

What is surprising (at least to me) is the disparity of the results: Crawl in the first place has almost twice as many votes as Nethack in the second place, and exactly double the amount of votes as Angband and ADOM!
