Hi fellow hackers! I'm jmst on nethack.alt.org, and an admin here.

What I'm up to Edit

I'm happy with the way the wiki is going - lots of good people are adding good stuff. My vision is for Wikihack to be a Total Spoiler - a one-stop repository of all of humanity's knowledge of NetHack - as well as a venue for an emerging field of scholarly NetHack analysis :-) My secret desire is that it one day becomes bigger than Wikipedia.

2006/09/15: Travelling until next Tuesday. Tata for now!

2006/08/05: On a redirection binge. Trying to pre-empt duplicate articles.

Previously...Edit

The weather has been too nice for ASCII this week, but the subsequent thunderstorms finally drove me back inside and I'm planning to ascend a rather bedraggled Monk.

Result: he died on the thrice-accursed Plane of Air! Moral: Defence is only half the equation: you've got to be able to kill 'em. --Jayt 19:08, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Scorecard Edit

• a = atheist
• aw = artifact wishless
• g = genocideless
• i = illiterate
• p = polyless
• ps = polyselfless
• vg = vegan
• w = wishless
• s = survivor (I know, not a real conduct)

Old stuffEdit

CompletenessEdit

Here are my thoughts on completeness

Source wikification scriptEdit

#!/usr/bin/python
#version 20061002
# usage: ./wikify.py sourcefile.c
# the first line of output will be the article title, for use with
# an uploadbot
#config:
outputdir="/home/user/somewhere/" # where to put the wikified file
gamename = "NetHack"              # NetHack or Hack or SLASH'EM
uploadversion = "3.4.3"           # 1.3d/2.3e/3.1.0/3.4.3/etc.
latestversion = "3.4.3"           # 3.4.3 or 0.0.7E7F2
license = "NGPL"                  # NGPL or CWI

import sys, re

srcfile = sys.argv[1]

f = open(srcfile)
g = open(outputdir + srcfile, "w")

print >> g, wikilink
print >> g, "Below is the full text to '''" + srcfile + "''' from the "\
