Angband save games directory in Ubuntu

Erik — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 05:13:00 +0000

I finally found where Angband saves are stored in Ubuntu thanks to the helpful file listing it provides. It’s all in /var/games/angband, and the save directory looks like this:


root@rofl:/var/games/angband/save# ls -al
total 60
d---rwx--- 2 root games  4096 2008-01-01 23:57 .
drwxr-sr-x 9 root games  4096 2007-12-31 16:18 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 hank games 45651 2008-01-01 23:57 1000.Hank
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root games    47 2006-11-13 01:20 delete.me

The inside of 1000.Hank is complete binary gibberish, but at least I can back it up now and move it between computers. This is so encouraging me to cheat. To find out more about angband, read this article.

Don’t upgrade to Vista. It’s crap.

Here’s a fun image I found:

Look at Doom3. How about the slogan “Windows Vista will make your gaming 30% slower!” What a non-bargain.

Dance Factory: The new DDR

Finally, somone has re-ignited the sensation that has died away in the past few years. We have seen Guitar Hero take the place of one of the greatest games ever made: DDR. DDR’s arcade presence has also suffered due to cheap knockoffs, ruining the experience by providing ‘extra functionality.’ Well, hopefully Dance Factory will bring back the spirit of the originals while allowing users to input their own music. I know I’m excited.
