Nah they're all inheriting different old codebases. For example, PosChengband was last vanilla in 2.8.0, whereas RePosband was last vanilla in 3.0.something

But that's not the problem with it. Didn't stop me forking after all.

Old V is full of global defines. So much stuff that's hardcoded but shouldn't be.

Pete Mack · April 3, 2018, 15:15

The #defines are just part of it.
* The bitflags are now done properly.
* Similar attributes are kept in array, not as separate fields
* All game configuration is loaded from files, or where that is not possible, done with generated code
* UI implementation is cleaner
Large number of other smaller changes for better code quality (Knowledge menu, character sheet, birth...)

Oops, PosChengband resembled Kangband and old Zangband, so I just assumed it originated from one of those, at least at some point in the long dev history

I'm not sure of the details regarding Kang, but Cheng forked from Heng which forked from a version of Zang which was originally forked from vanilla 2.8. Certainly a lot of the content originates from Kang, but I think Z is the direct ancestor.

Actually Zang (version 1.2) was originally forked from PCAngband 1.4 (PCAngband 1.0-1.4 were a PC port plus follow-ups to frog-knows). From memory, it did then import most of Vanilla from time to time.

Given the age of the code base, and the size and growing complexity of the game, I strongly suspect this is a case of "I'm abandoning the project because otherwise it will eat my life."

Mocht, seriously, let it go.

The Angband Variant Repository now has PosChengband updated to its final version, 7.0.2.
