This are the release notes for H-World 0.1.3

(Please also read the former release notes!)

Since the last release some new features have been finished:

- Winning and loosing condition:
  - The game is won, once the skeleton captaion is killed
  - The game is lost if the players HP drop below 0
- Users can now add new items and monsters with custom images
  - see the data/custom subfolder for examples.


A few minor changes:

- only 10% of all items get magic prefixes
- look command now works with all 8 directions
- inventory view - the item inspector now displays properties of things
  lying on the ground, too
- A score is accumulated, but there is no highscore table yet.
- Memory consumption was reduced by 70% (compared to 1.1.2)


For more info, please read the readme.txt file and the old release notes.


To win the game, you must kill the skeleton captain in the castle.
The game is lost, if the players hitpoints drop below 0.

It is hard to win. Choose your equipment carefully.
