Current dnethack project: S-l-o-w-l-y implementing the Binder class.

A place to contribute dnethack-specific YANIs.

YANIs:

• Gibbering Mouther/Orb

• Star Vampire (based on slash'em monster of the same name)

• Ring appearance improvements, part 3 (droven ring can poison enemies in hand-to-hand combat).

• Cameras should eventually turn into weeping angels if they are used to take pictures of weeping angels.

• Wishing improvements (fix problems introduced by new artifacts with plural names. Allow wishing for engraved items).

• Uranium Imps should teleport their attackers whether or not the attack hits, and should have some association with uranium wands.

• Game of Life related features, including moving hallucinatory wards and possibly a Game of Life themed dungeon level or branch. -Ozymandias

• Remove / merge those legions of popcorn monsters and useless weapons. Anything that remains should be different in an interesting way. -Tjr

• Scroll of consecrate (from Nethack TNG) - creates an altar at your present location, with chance of being co-aligned being based on BUC. Probably should be additional effects for each BUC, and for confused. Maybe there would be a fixed, limited number of these that exist in a game. Maybe even some unique "artifact" scrolls. - Ozymandias

• Punishers (from Sheol, in UnNetHack) - not randomly generated, but as guards for specific locations. Due to their stationary status and variety of ranged and melee abilities, they could make for an interesting situation if flanking a narrow choke point - Ozymandias

• Goldbugs, clockwork automata (automatons), and [modified] waterspout gargoyles, from the Biodiversity patch - Ozymandias

• A statue of a giant turtle should behave like a boulder, or at least block vision. - Ozymandias

Completed YANIs

• Scrolls of Warding (Scrolls of X: engrave X ward when read, Scrolls of Warding: burn selected ward when read) -Ozymandias

• Ring appearance improvements, part 2 (ring wards can be magically transferred to the ground) -Ozymandias

• when eating the corpse of a rat-type monster, if your character is a dwarf you should get the "This is delicious!" message instead of the "This tastes terrible!" message (Discworld reference).-NaturesWitness

• Long worm corpses should taste "spicy" - Ozymandias

Wiki Related:

• The giant turtle image is showing up on the main wiki entry for giant turtle, which is currently semi-specific to UnNetHack. UnNetHack is the origin for dnethack's giant turtle; however, I use a red ':' instead of a green one, to match the red spots on the tile's image. Also, the dnethack giant turtle has a much lower AC.
