Hiya, everyone!
Anyway, I basically made a new account because I was too impatient to find the name and password for my old one, and came on to mention this interesting project, known as Dungeon Master.
I'm aware that it has been posted and mentioned here a few times in the past, but never with any actual..Well, coherence. So, here is my attempt!
It is a game on the
http://www.byond.com/ programming language, "Build Your Own Net Dream", which allows for you to create 2-d games and play them pretty easily. The actual hub for it where you can get onto a server and play the game is at
http://www.byond.com/games/Ginseng/DungeonMaster . It was originally coded by a person who used the name Ginseng, and taken up by various peoples.
The code itself is in a state of turmoil. It's literally a mess, even if the game is decent and could even be called addicting. But! Well, I decided to take a pretty good look at it, and ended up making a thing on github. The original person who posted it likely isn't going to work on a stable version, almost certainly, even, but I will!
As a result, I went ahead and put this together on github.
https://github.com/DungeonMaster/Dungeon-Master/ Here's a pretty good guide for what Github is, with the explanation first and the guide for how to set it up as well as tortoisegit second, for ease of use.

http://www.byond.com/docs/guide/Anyway, the goal of this is to make the game stable, get it a decent code-base, make it capable of being easily modified for people's personal use, and improve the source code immensely.
To this end, I invite you all to come and try it out! Learn what you can, and do what you can, and if you like the game, play-- If you like the game a lot, see about coding for it. It being so simple right now, even if very messy, means that even a novice coder could get in and focus on trying to fix it in order to improve and get what they can. Good luck!
