About Dink Smallwood

--------------------

Dink Smallwood is an adventure/role-playing game, similar to Zelda,

made by RTsoft. Besides twisted humour, it includes the actual game

editor, allowing players to create hundreds of new adventures called

Dink Modules or D-Mods for short. The Dink Network

(http://www.dinknetwork.com/) hosts a copy of almost all of them.

GNU FreeDink

------------

GNU FreeDink is a new and portable version of the game engine, which

runs the original game as well as its D-Mods, with close

compatibility, under multiple platforms.

FreeDink can run in 2 modes:

* v1.08 (default): this matches the latest release of the Dink engine,

  which includes some new features and some backward-incompatible

  changes. Use it for recent D-Mods.

* v1.07 (with option '--v1.07'): this matches v1.07 of the Dink

  engine, essentially unmodified since 1998. Use it to play D-Mods

  released before 2006.

Next step is extending the engine while preserving accurate support

for released D-Mods.

On the technical level, the internals of the engines experience a

clean-up to allow for portability and later improvements.

About GNU

---------

FreeDink is part of the GNU project, whose aim is to create "GNU", a

completely free (as in freedom) operating system. Its most famous

variant these days is GNU/Linux. A engine to play the Dink Smallwood

game and D-Mods is definitely a must for the GNU OS ;) Check

http://www.gnu.org/ for more information.

Game data

---------

Get the free game data separately from the 'freedink-data' package at:

  http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/freedink/

Note:

The original game contained sounds that were not owned by RTsoft and

hence could not be released under a free license.  We're looking for

free replacements!  Please send contributions at [email protected].

See http://www.freedink.org/doc/sounds/ for more information.

Other FreeDink applications

---------------------------

DFArc, a graphical front-end run the game and manage D-Mods, was also

ported and extended. Get new version 3 at http://www.freedink.org/ .
