Omega Rebirth is a fork of the classic roguelike "Omega" (v0.90.4), originally authored by Laurence Brothers in 1987. Omega Rebirth attempts to modernize the UI, and introduces many bug-fixes, game-balance improvements, and minor features.

Some noteworthy changes include:

• Compiles as C++
• Title menu with save file management
• Map stays centered on the player
• Removal of the infamous "up in the air" inventory system
• Improved item stacking mechanics
• Working torches
• Consolidated all Player stats/info and added health/mana meters
• Random stat rolling replaced by point-pool system
• Handles terminal resize events
• Removal of some unfair game mechanics (ie. Chance for chaos storm to teleport player into the sea of chaos, resulting in unavoidable instant-death)
• Many bug fixes
