Furey: oracle.des -> oracle.des, which is the correct nethack version for when this comment was written.

			::Some more reports from #nethack. Umbire said that oracle.des in 3.6.7 and 3.4.3 definitely has five rooms. Paxed said: "because the other rooms on the oracle level are completely random, when there's no more room on the level, it just won't generate the rest of the room." So the current state of the article is good. [[User:Furey\|Furey]] ([[User talk:Furey\|talk]]) 17:03, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

The oracle is a unique monster and the "Oracle Room" is a dungeon feature. So The Oracle is both. {{unsigned|PraetorFenix|19 June 2006}}

== level features ==
Can the oracle level have a shop? A temple? Another type of special room? I have never seen any of it. However, as I read the source code, it should be possible. -[[User:Tjr|Tjr]] 14:21, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Anyone know what this is a reference to? --[[User:AileTheAlien|AileTheAlien]] 01:04, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
:The [http://cgi.cs.indiana.edu/~oracle/index.cgi Internet Oracle] answers queries in a humorous manner. After too many jackasses asked it "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood", it started ZOTting such questions. --[[User:Darth l33t|Darth l33t]] 02:23, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

==Sometimes only four rooms==
Article says there are five rooms surrounding the central Oracle room. However, sometimes I see only four rooms. I just checked the Oracle level in my current game with a spell of magic mapping, and there are definitely only four rooms. I am playing nethack 3.6.7 on NAO.

Perhaps the "five rooms" was true for an earlier version than 3.6.7?

== Disambiguation ==
I'm going to be disambiguating this into a level article and monster article shortly - it seems a fair bit overdue, and there's already several other disambiguations. --[[User:Umbire the Phantom|Umbire the Phantom]] ([[User talk:Umbire the Phantom|talk]]) 11:39, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
