• Angband 2.9.0 "Monster Creator"
  Due to popular demand I wrote a monster creator for Angband 2.9.0. This Javascript page allows you to create new monsters that can be added to Angband. Please note that I didn't bother with writing documentation, so you are on your own when using it.

  I have prepared a beta version of Angband. This is a source code only beta, so no compiled versions will be available. If you want to beta-test it, then you'll have to compile it yourself.

The source and extra files for compiling Windows and DOS versions are available for download.
