The classic version is developed since years and development is still going on. The programming is done by a friend of mine with whom I studied information technology some years ago. So why is there a need for a new version? The classic one is written in blitzbasic which is not developed anymore. And this compiler is only existing for windows. Purebasic the language the new version is written in is still developed and has a lot … text/html 2008-08-09T16:20:03+02:00 markus http://www.lostlabyrinth.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=lostlaby:rewriting&rev=1218291603&do=diff Rewriting Lost Labyrinth in another programming language We (the programmers of this game) totally love purebasic! Its fast, easy and cheap! And we already bought it. And for us there is no reason to rewrite it in other languages! If you like to do that you are welcome. You can use everything the game uses and we will answer all your questions to help you get started. BUT we will not invest another hundreds of hours to just write it without any visible effect! text/html 2008-08-09T16:19:20+02:00 markus http://www.lostlabyrinth.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=lostlaby:compiling&rev=1218291560&do=diff Compiling Lost Labyrinth? Lost Labyrinth is Open Source! This means you can download the sourcecode the graphics and the sounds that we use to create the game. BUT you will not be able to compile it until you own the Purebasic Compiler! (Which you can get here: <http://www.purebasic.com>) And this is a commercial program. We are sorry for that! BUT if your idealism of only using selfcompiled code prevents you from playing the game its your fault not ours! text/html 2008-08-09T16:19:02+02:00 markus http://www.lostlabyrinth.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=lostlaby:staffpieces&rev=1218291542&do=diff What are the staff pieces good for? When you collect all 9 parts of the staff of the last covenant you finish the game alive! You can enter your name in the highscore as usual but get a sign that you survived! The other way to finish the game is by completing level 150. text/html 2008-08-09T16:18:43+02:00 markus http://www.lostlabyrinth.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=lostlaby:newskills&rev=1218291523&do=diff Is it possible to get new skills in the game? No its not! Thats one of the traditions of this game. The game is meant to last only very short not like other roquelikes where you play the same character forever. We want you to create a new character with different skills every time you play. So to see all the skills you have to try around with them. Thats all Lost Labyrinth is living from ...

Remember this is an abstract roquelike. We know it would make sense to just kill the thief and then pickup the stolen items. BUT it would make stealing senseless! Because the thieves are very weak and everybody can kill them! So it will NEVER be possible to get stolen items back! text/html 2008-08-09T16:18:00+02:00 markus http://www.lostlabyrinth.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=lostlaby:fightingstyles&rev=1218291480&do=diff What different fighting styles exist?

The chance to hit an opponent is the same as with a closed ranged weapon. Means your attack rating multiplied by 10 minus the defence of the monster multiplied by 10. (Modified by your items and active spells) The chance to do a critical hit is: Dexterity+Luck in Percent (modified by used bow and arrows).
