I added two quick "features" tonight:
First I added the number of items the hero has found to the highscores, since these are a measure of progress to some extent.

I also created a date function that translates today’s date (date +%F) into an adjusted Warhammer Imperial calendar. This way, not only can you follow your character in time, you can also look back at when he or she died.

To incorporate these changes I had to re-write the highscores function (more like a dirty hack) to use column, in order to get a nice scoreboard table. I also had to make some changes to the announce function to make it more attractive.

What remains: Really very little. I have to play it on my UTF-8 setup in order to see how the graphical changes goes. Apart from the repeated keys conundrum, I have only some cosmetic changes to the code itself, in order to comply with good code practice. I can do these last two points after the code has "shipped", however, so what remains is to test it on my other rig. Stay tuned!
