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. Check out FreeDink's website at http://www.freedink.org/ .

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!
