A day of mourning....

It is a say day indeed...  

My character in WazHack died.   My greatest character so far.  He had hit the bottom of the dungeon and was about to take on the final boss when a Balor came down and took his life.  He didn't stand a chance, since the balor had brought friends AND he had just finished taking out a "Battle Lich".

His stats:

14th level    STR 20  DEX 15  CON 15  INT 17  WIZ 16  CHA 16

His stats were due in large part to a +5 Helm of Brilliance.   and a couple of "gain ability" potions.

He weilded a Bastard Sword of Invisibility, wore a Roman Armor suit of Slow Digestion, and had 15 wands on him.   The wands were of varying type, from death wands, to magic missile wands.  Carrying scrolls and books, he had more things mage-like than fighter like.

In the end, he was two rooms away from the Dragon...  at 3100 feet down.

A sad day indeed.   (and no screenshots to prove it since it was on my tablet.

The funniest thing happened to me on the way to the Dungeon.....

I've been playing a game on my tablet called Wazhack... you can get it here (and thank or curse me later)

It's a fun game similar in vein to the old "Rouge" or "Nethack"  from ages past...

but here's the funniest part... I picked up a cursed scroll and read it.  this was the reply:

"The cursed scroll of remove curse removes itself"

Yes, news about my Wings of Glory realistic maps has taken a back burner.. a slow go as it were.   This was due in majority to the fact that my machine at home is an archaic old monster from 2006.  It couldn't browse its way out of a paper bag.  Not to mention the death-like debilitating virus it got that wiped a lot of core windows files (like calc.exe).

Well, as a mad scientist would cackle, I had purchased the parts and laid them out on my table.  I took them and pieced together a monster.  machine that glows red when running.  A machine with a terabyte of hard drive space, 32 GIG of ram, 8 processors to quickly bring imagery to life...

Then I found out about 32 bit limitations...  and a program that fixes them called  Large Address aware.  this allows a 32 bit program to use more than 2 gig ram.    From a machine that could only bring in a 3k x 6k image... and not be able to duplicate it, to a machine that can bring in a 10k x 10x image and duplicate it 9 times.   To put that into perspective... the 10k x 10k image  is about 5 foot square.  so I can make a big enough section of the western front that you won't need anything else.
