This might be better for 'Development', but I am curious as to how you define bitflags as properly done. I worry Hellband might not be done properly.

It's done with actual bitflag data structures, not hacked up with the mysterious flags1, flags2, flags3. It is a LOT easier to read--and to get right. Take a look at the V source.

I have just downloaded Poschengband from the Repository, but I cannot figure out how to open the game. I have run through the files looking for a program, and have found nothing. I read the Readme, but the instructions for Windows seemed only to confirm that there should be a program in the folder which one may click to launch. Am I overlooking something obvious, or is the Repository version of the game missing something?

Sounds like you have the source code. You'll need to compile it or find a pre-compiled version for your OS.

What link(s) are you using to download PCB?

Hello; sorry for the delay in answering. Some personal things came up in my life.

I used this link, at the Angband Repository, to download PosChengband. I clicked on "Download PosChengband as .zip". I am not familiar with ".tar.gz"; is that the one I should have clicked?

I am afraid I do not know anything about compiling. I am on Windows, if that helps.

Thank you for taking an interest. If this doesn't work out, is there anywhere else I could download a pre-compiled version?

From the few files I examined, that site seems to be only source files. I know nothing about compiling, but the readme.txt makes it clear it needs to be compiled.

Glorfindel · March 21, 2019, 07:23

Well, maybe there is someone around here who would be willing to explain the process to me in baby-language.

Or maybe someone will have a source for a pre-compiled version.

If you can't get PosChengband to work... download FrogComposband

It's pre-compiled.

What Sideways said. The game is a recent fork of PCB
