For those who enjoy SPD I recommend checking out some other popular roguelikes, many of them are also open source.
Some of my personal recommendations would be brogue (probably the most beginner friendly), DCSS (friendly, tons of content), ADoM and Cataclysm DDA (a sandbox survival roguelike, quite a unique mix)
- sandspar 2y agoWhat do these acronyms mean?
- bananicorn 2y agoDCSS = Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup ADoM = Ancient Domains of Mystery Cataclysm DDA = Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead I swear I didn't make the first one up ;) Edit: ah well, you got your answer already^^
- zenorogue 2y ago"Stone Soup" refers to the Stone Soup folk story, where people contribute their supplies to make a great soup for everyone (it is developed by many people who contribute to the open-source project started by Linley Henzell as Linley's Dungeon Crawl). Still a better name than NetHack (which is not a game about hacking networks... "Net" just refers to collaboration over net to improve the game Hack). There is also BrogueCE ("Brogue Community Edition").
- lambdanil 2y agoI should probably have used the full names for clarity, either way the acronyms mean, in order: Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, Ancient Domains of Mystery and Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead.

- rjbwork 2y agoCurrently hung up on CDDA. Probably the most complicated hardcore game I've ever touched. Learning curve like a brick wall. Incredibly rewarding to master though. Really love that it's FOSS. I've got a bunch of scripts I run to scan the game files to learn things that are hard to get just from the in game menus.
