Free dungeon software for linux

DungeonInc is a realtime dungeon simulator. The creatures living in the dungeon have their own will and the player can only interact to a certain extend.

Dungeon Incs goal is to gather as much valuables in your dungeon as you can. In order to accomplish that, youve to make it as comfortable as possible for your creatures while fending of attacks from the evil heroes looking for loot and fame.

Currently Im very busy with work and real life, so the project is not actively developed. Thats the main reason that this website exists. Im looking for people to continue the work on it, since I still like the idea. If youre interested in helping or taking over the project, please contact me.

DungeonMaker-Lib is a fork of the project DungeonMaker, which has been abandoned. A fork was chosen as changes needed to be made to the original code to more easily accommodate scripting front-ends. The code forks from their 2.02 release.
This C++ library "grows" dungeons for use in isometric games using artificial life algorithms. It is a fork of the existing DungeonMaker project, which has been abandoned.
Desiring to create a Perl front-end to the library, I decided to fork as I wanted to make some changes to the code itself.
The code is forked from their v2.02 release. The major change in the current release is the incorporation of the original main.cpp into the DungeonMaker object itself as a new generate() method.
This makes it much easier to develop front-ends. Further changes are forthcoming. Soon the Swig interface file and Perl front-end will be added to the release with other interfaces hopefully to follow.
This project is brand-new and thus the website and other documentation is somewhat thin, but will expand over time.
Enhancements:
- All changes from the DungeonMaker-Lib fork were merged with the main DungeonMaker tree.
- A preliminary Perl front-end was released.

3rd Edition Dungeons and Dragons Character Generator is an HTML/JavaScript Web page that allows the user to quickly and easily create new Dungeons and Dragons characters.
The characters can be of any of the eleven classes, any of the playable races, and may start at any level from 1 to 220. Generation requires some simple input, after which the character is displayed on a basic character sheet.
3rd Edition Dungeons & Dragons Character Generator allows you to select your starting stats, add ability points, and pick skills, equipment, feats, and spells. It runs on most operating systems with most modern browsers.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes a few minor, but pesky bugs.
- Halflings no longer get extra saving throws where they should not.
- Saves and skills are shown in a more common format.
- Classes can now get all of their bonus langages (which fixes an error with druids).

Angband is a freeware computer dungeon exploration game based (loosely) on the books of J.R.R.Tolkien. You explore a very deep dungeon, kill monsters, try to equip yourself with the best weapons and armor you can find, and finally face Morgoth - "The Dark Enemy".
Angband has a very long history. It started 1990 as an improved and "Tolkienized" variant of Moria. Moria itself was created in 1985 and was inspired by Rogue (from the late 70s). Countless changes were introduced by many programmers on the way to the current versions of Angband.
Ben Harrison, the previous maintainer, cleaned up the source code and made it easy to enhance and port to the different computer systems. The clean, well commented and modular source is one of the reasons for its popularity and for the number of variants and other extensions available.
Its addictive, very addictive. Your REAL life will be influenced by playing! Dont say I didnt warn you!
Angband was originally text-based, but graphical versions are now available for almost every computer system. Some Angband players still use the old ASCII-based graphics. There are even a few sound effects available for multimedia freaks.
The original name "Angband" was created by J.R.R. Tolkien in the stories about "Middle Earth".
Angband was a mighty fortified citadel originally constructed by Morgoth (Melkor) in the earliest days of the world as an outlying fortress to his northern stronghold of Utumno. Utumno was destroyed by the Valar, and Morgoth imprisoned in Valinor for three ages, but on his return to Middle-earth, he took Angband as the seat of his power, and raised the towers of Thangorodrim above its gates.
Angband was besieged by the Noldor during the early part of the First Age, but the Siege of Angband was broken at the Dagor Bragollach. It was finally destroyed by the forces of the Valar at the end of the First Age, in the War of the Wrath.
Enhancements:
- This is a bugfix release that fixes over fifty bugs present in the previous release, none of which individually are particularly annoying, but collectively merit a new release.

Egoboo is a 3d dungeon crawling adventure in the spirit of NetHack.

It uses OpenGL and SDL. It should run on any Wintel, Unix, and MacOS X system.

FAangband is a first age Tolkien-based variant of Angband.
A roguelike game set in the wilderness and dungeons of Middle Earth in the first age. Fight your way through plains, mountains, forests, swamps, deserts and dungeons to face Morgoth, Lord of Darkness. Not a short game.
Here are the big changes:
- Races have been significantly changed. Half-Orcs, Half-Trolls, Half-elves and Shadow Fairies have gone; there are new varieties of Elves, Dwarves and Men. Dwarves as a whole tend to have better Intelligence than Wisdom; the reverse is true for (most) Elves and Hobbits. Different races also have significantly different starting conditions.
- There is wilderness. Wilderness is like and unlike dungeon. On the similar side, it is randomly generated in rectangular pieces; the "level" still only goes up or down by one in going from one piece to the next; there is a structured way of advancing through the wilderness. On the other hand, it looks different (no rooms); there are sometimes choices as to how to advance (north or west, maybe, rather than just down); and tactics become quite different. There are five basic types of wilderness - open plains, dense forests, rocky mountains, harsh deserts and pathless swamps. It also has day and night, which affects light-hating monsters and the players need for light.
- There are multiple towns, small and large, spread throughout the wilderness. Each race starts in its natural town. This means that the starting towns for some races are in the middle of quite dangerous wilderness. In order to reduce extreme effects of this (instant death, or instant growth of 15 levels), some races have improved starting equipment, and several races start with some experience already (advancing them in character level up to a maximum of level 5). High elves are no longer the easy option, at least at first. You can move your house to a different town, but only once you have walked there.
- There are multiple dungeons (five, to be precise). At the bottom of each is a guardian, who can only appear there or in special circumstances (which you may be able to guess...) be summoned. The first specialist ability (and second as well for warriors) is still learned at the beginning, but the two others each become available on killing a dungeon guardian. It is possible to ignore the other dungeons and head straight for Angband, but theres a heavy price to pay.
- Word of Recall works differently. Read away from your home town, it still takes you back there. Read in your home town, you are given a list of up to four points to recall to. When you recall back to town, you get the choice of which of your recall points you wish to update.
- Anything from later than the First Age has been removed. No more Rings of Power, Grishnakh, Anduril, Saruman, Witch-King, etc. There are some new uniques, artifacts and ego-items (and some just renamed). There are also new item sets, and some reworked artifacts.
- There is no savefile compatibility with Oangband or Angband. Savefiles had to change at least to accommodate changes to data structures (particularly the player data), and the big changes to races meant that any translation would be rather artificial. Anyone with an Oangband savefile should keep playing it in Oangband; anyone with an Oangband compatible Angband savefile (version 2.9.1 or older) should be congratulated and, well, upgrade.
Enhancements:
- large reduction in wilderness monsters
- better handling of savefile paths
- increase in wilderness vaults
- some extra dungeon vaults
- several bugfixes
