Theme Fantasy
Download Not yet.

[There is no Official site]


I am considering starting work on a Japanese version of Angband. The name JAngband was already taken, so I chose JBand.

Planned Features

  1. Gameplay unchanged from 3.1.1 dev (and keep up with updates)
  2. Source files in Unicode
  3. Freely switchable between Japanese and English during play.
  4. Utilize C++

Problematic Points

  1. Many compilers will not work with Unicode source files. (Dev-C++, for example).
  2. Unicode file format differs slightly between Windows and other platforms.
  3. I know even less C++ than I do C.

The Impossible Dream

I think it would be neat if the trunk of Vanilla Angband was used my work to better support multiple languages. I don't think that will ever happen, though. :-P
