| Borgs | ||
| Can't find the time to play Angband any more? Too much hassle pressing all of those keys nowadays? Fancy seeing if your computer could do a better job at hammering Morgoth than you could? Borgs could be right up your alley then... | ||
| For those of you who don't already know, a borg is an automated Angband player. It's code is added at compile time, and then the borg can be started with a simple keypress. If you're just a player, then you should be lucky enough to be able to find a version of Angband with several of the available borgs - this page should help you find the nooks and crannies that your favourite executable is hiding in. If you're able to compile your own Angbands, then it's simply a matter of downloading the borg source code and recompiling - simple stuff! | ||
| Borgs have advanced through the years. From the likes of Fritz Daalman's Parsival borg - a spellcasting Paladin with limited ability for Angband 2.7.5, up to Andrew White's APWborg, multitalented, capable of winning, for Angband 2.9.0. Makes me wonder what the future borgs will be capable of... |
