A Clean Dungeon is a Happy Dungeon

[Martin Pervorse]

Was it just me and my brothers, or was it really fun to 'clean' the dungeon and make piles of every type of item in the store room on the rat level or in the dragon den? I had piles of jewelry, clothes, armor, swords, shields, axes/maces, bows, arrows, daggers/darts, flasks, magical boxes, bombs, scrolls, all types of foods, helms, chests, etc. On the Atari ST and later on SNES (once my Atari died) I'd fill the store room on the rat level up so full of stuff the game would freeze when I tried to enter it. Oh well just curious.

Did that more out of boredom when I was CSB training on an old Amiga game

Rat drumsticks on one wall, shields/falchions on another, other weapons sorted by range/melee and magical down on the dragon lair

You would like the CSB for Windows 'Clean Dungeon' option.
The 'Misc' Menu has a selection that points out any items
that have not been collected and properly stored away.
I came within one item of completing this 'quest'. Close but
no cigar. It ain't too easy.

Where do you store them? JoW?

[Paul Stevens]

The dialog box will tell you what needs to be done.
As I recall, the items must be stored on level 5 around
(17,26). This is the area around the water fountain that
you always return to from the teleporter in the basement.

I remember making huge piles on a single tile, amazed by the capacity of the program to graphic them all (as some bits of the deeper objects could be seen). By thinking hard about it, I finally program my first game with tiles containing one object. Each object could refer to another and thus make piles. I discovered 10 years later that DM used quite the same idea!
