16About Dink Smallwood
17--------------------
18
19Dink Smallwood is an adventure/role-playing game, similar to Zelda,
20made by RTsoft. Besides twisted humour, it includes the actual game
21editor, allowing players to create hundreds of new adventures called
22Dink Modules or D-Mods for short. The Dink Network
23(http://www.dinknetwork.com/) hosts a copy of almost all of them.
24
25
26GNU FreeDink
27------------
28
29GNU FreeDink is a new and portable version of the game engine, which
30runs the original game as well as its D-Mods, with close
31compatibility, under multiple platforms.
32
33FreeDink can run in 2 modes:
34
35* v1.08 (default): this matches the latest release of the Dink engine,
36 which includes some new features and some backward-incompatible
37 changes. Use it for recent D-Mods.
38
39* v1.07 (with option '--v1.07'): this matches v1.07 of the Dink
40 engine, essentially unmodified since 1998. Use it to play D-Mods
41 released before 2006.
42
43Next step is extending the engine while preserving accurate support
44for released D-Mods.
45
46On the technical level, the internals of the engines experience a
47clean-up to allow for portability and later improvements.

94About GNU
95---------
96
97FreeDink is part of the GNU project, whose aim is to create "GNU", a
98completely free (as in freedom) operating system. Its most famous
99variant these days is GNU/Linux. A engine to play the Dink Smallwood
100game and D-Mods is definitely a must for the GNU OS ;) Check
101http://www.gnu.org/ for more information.

111Note:
112The original game contained sounds that were not owned by RTsoft and
113hence could not be released under a free license. We're looking for
114free replacements! Please send contributions at bug-freedink@gnu.org.
115See http://www.freedink.org/doc/sounds/ for more information.
