That was my best run so far!

But I can't get how it could happen that a great deal of my items eventually appeared corrupt. I firstly became suspicious when my Excalibur inexplicably went cursed. And after that vampire lord had turned up, I totally lost control over the situation, there was also a spellcaster who kept shooting at me with painful spells.

My questions are how could I get over that water and how do I train the samurai at spellcasting?

Some spellcasters can curse your items.  Or perhaps you read a cursed spellbook when you tried to learn magic.  Or prayed while your god was very angry.  Or sat on a throne while unlucky.

My questions are how could I get over that water

Lots of ways.
Levitation.  Float there.
Teleportation plus teleport control.  Bamf there.
Teleportation plus patience.  Bamf all over the map.
Water walking.  Walk over the water.
Magical breathing.  Walk through the water.
Beams of fire.  Boil away the water and walk over the revealed floor.
Beams or blasts of cold.  Freeze the water and walk over the ice.
Polymorph plus polymorph control.  Any of the above.
Scrolls of earth.  Push the boulders into the water and walk over them.
Wear jumping boots.  Jump between islands.
Be a knight.  Knight-jump between islands.
Dig a hole and jump down.  Bypass the level.

and how do I train the samurai at spellcasting?

Basically, you don't.  Samurai are warriors, not casters.  Stick with a few level 1 utility spells.  Maybe some level 2 or 3 spells once you're above XP level 20.

Hey does anybody have an idea how I can apply these tiles to pure NetHack on Windows?

Nethack version 3.6.0 has been released.

2015 is the best year in the history of video games.

I saw! Today is a great day!

Now there's a line-of-sight indicator! Still looking for other new features...

[DragonDePlatino]

This is incredible! It's like the old-school equivalent of Half-Life 3 being released!

In celebration, I wanna update DawnHack 3.4.3 ASAP! Anyone know where I can find the source for the game? I'd love to take a peek at doc/fixes36.0 and the bigger(?) default tileset, but I can't find a link to the Git anywhere on the release page. Argh! Why must these programmer fuddy-duddies make everything so inaccessible?

[Trapezohedron]

Wow, among the dev features, they're actually planning to publicize game fixes from here on out so we no longer have to wait as long as we did before (10 years!!!!) just to get the next level of fixes! Booyeah!

Hooray for Github yays

[Robsoie]

Didn't expected a new version of Nethack to actually happen.
Impressive to see so many years of development.

[Robsoie]

the move to github and the new developers joining may mean a revival of the development, other roguelikes have progressed so much in matter of interface, if development get momentum again i hope Nethack will catch up with the roguelike big guns of today when it comes to the user interface.

This is what I was thinking. Really though, a little part of me doesn't want Nethack to change much from its current form (outside of QOL improvements like those that went in this patch).

List of monsters that appear when you are hallucinating was updated with ten years worth of references. You can now die to ceiling cat, Sigmund and weighted Companion Cube among others.

[miauw62]

you mean updated with memes that have had 12 years to stop being funny

[Jiharo]

Well, yes, but

[miauw62]

yeah but right now it's just obnoxious

i guess stuff like sigmund is a nice reference, not overused, doesn't look too out of place if you don't know it. that's just opinion though
