This is a historical archive of the various ports and fan-remakes of Dan
Lawrence's DND, an early computerized RPG (circa 1976).

It also contains the source code for my in-progress remake, "Lawrence's 
Labyrinth" (see below).

There is an accompanying vlog at
	https://odysee.com/$/list/c87133ad90a84a5cdb8e978758c1f8b27dbbdc3f .

This archive is maintained by Lee Adamson (lee@ocfco.net).  PLEASE contact me
if you have anything to contribute.  Old versions, custom dungeons for any
version, fan remakes, stories and recollections, whatever.


Manifest:

Historical Data/
	Contains archives, data, and utilities pertaining to all of the extant
versions/ports/remakes that I have found.  If you have any other historical
data, old versions, or dungeons you've made for any version of the game, I
would like to include them here.  Please contact lee@ocfco.net.

Historical Data/Maps
	Human readable maps extracted from data files for various versions/ports.

Historical Data/Misc
	Random things related to the vlog and historical data.

Historical Data/Original Archives/
	Archives of the various historical versions and ports.  See 00_README.txt
in each subdirectory.

Historical Data/Sites/
	Archives of Justin Rancourt's and Dan Lawrence's websites. They are also on
archive.org, but "just in case".  Also a file of links that is out of date.

Historical Data/src-java-tools/
	Source code and resources for various tools and converters for various
data formats from various versions.  Also contains a fairly shitty oldskool
amber CRT simulator in Java from a long-ago abandoned Java port of the game.

Historical Data/DS-Mysticora.ttf
	This was some font that I was using in some long-ago abandoned Java port
of the game.  I recall it being cool, so keeping it around.

Historical Data/PCDND121.strings
	All the human-readable strings extracted from RO Software DND 1.2.1.

Labyrinth/
	Source code for "Lawrence's Labyrinth" (or just "Labyrinth"), my own remake.
Currently targets CP/M, but I plan to eventually support 80-column Apple 2s as
well.  Can be played on modern hardware using the ZXCC CP/M emulator.
	See COMPILE.txt for details.

VMSDND-3.0-ReverseEngineering/
	Variable tables and un-spaghetti'd pseudocode for the VMS BASIC-Plus 2
source code.  An attempt to suss out the game mechanics for reference during
the authoring of Labyrinth.  How much of this will actually be followed is
anyone's guess!
