Update to 116:

Nine months since the last release, so much for the weekly release
schedule POWDER started with! You will notice that I have at least
maintained the same size release, minor fixes and a new spell. I'm
particularly happy with finally finding a compromise for god-induced
flamestrikes - you get a warning now so they are less just an
insta-death out of the blue.

You may thank the Annual Roguelike Release Party (ARRP) for this
release - it provided the impetus to get something out. If you like
POWDER, but are frustrated at the slow rate of development, I
strongly recommend checking the rest of the roguelike scene!

    MSVC Express Edition 2008 project files and instructions added,
    created by Andreas Bohm.
    Tower shields are large. (Claudio)
    "You cannot hide from I!" is now "You cannot hide from Me!"
    (B. Perry)
    Looking at a square will also describe any smoke there.
    The dig spell now has the side effect of spraying the excavated
    rock shards, damaging those around you.
    Create Pit spell is now 10 MP rather than 15.
    Blizzards fill the air with sleet and snow, not sleet and slow.
    Though the latter does describe their special effect nicely.

    If a god decides to flamestrike you, you now get a few turns
    warning to prepare yourself.

    them.

    suffocate. (Strange Child, Julian Agloro)

    Spells you can't cast have (!) after them in the zap list (Aapo)
    Saving when out of disk space should no longer corrupt your
    last save game. (Aapo)
    Tossing an item hand to hand no longer takes a turn. (Aapo)

POWDER is a roguelike game.

"Roguelike" is a term applied to a wide variety of games which
share a common inspiration from the game Rogue. A non-exhaustive
