Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup latest version in BL

For those who haven't tried it yet, Dungeon Crawl (Stone Soup edition) is a tactical, turn-based, roguelike fantasy role playing game with both console and graphical ("tiles") versions.

It is, in my opinion, one of the very finest games available in respect of pure gameplay, depth and re-playability (is that a word?).

If you haven't tried it yet, I would urge you to do so immediately

The Debian package is crawl

BunsenLabs/jessie has version 0.15

Version 0.18 was released on the 5th of May and features some significant changes and improvements:
http://crawl.chaosforge.org/0.18

To install the latest version in BunsenLabs (or Debian jessie), run this command:

sudo apt edit-sources

Then add the Dungeon Crawl repository line to the file:

deb https://crawl.develz.org/debian crawl 0.18

Now add the APT key:

wget https://crawl.develz.org/debian/pubkey -O - | sudo apt-key add -

Update the package database:

sudo apt update

Finally, install the packages:

sudo apt install crawl crawl-tiles

`crawl` is the console only version, `crawl-tiles` is the graphical version.

If you are as rubbish at this game as I am, visit the Crawl wiki for some great tips:

Neat!! I gotta check this out. I love the idea of these simple Dungeons and Dragons style games.

Okay, I think I have an idea for the bunsen welcome script. We program it so the user has to navigate the dungeon to get to different options in the welcome script!

I'll see if I can download this tomorrow, and give it a whirl.
