Welcome
"Don't let the name fool you: The Unnamed Angband has no shortage of distinct flavour that sets it apart from any other variant. You adventure in Tolkien's world, through towns and wilderness and multiple dungeons, journeying from Bree towards greater and greater danger.Welcome to the old Unangband page, a variant of Angband which I developed for over ten years.
This variant roughly doubles the monster list, expands the class-based system of Angband with numerous possible specialties that let you fashion a unique character, offers a positively absurd variety of terrain (cages that trap you, floor chests that can store objects, burnable woods, chasms, bloodstains), and includes a bunch of major interface improvements, including better presentation of graphics and an experimental isometric view." - From angband.oook.cz.
The official Unangband home page is now at at https://dgolddragon28.github.io/Unangband/ which contains links to the latest releases and source code.
I would also like to thank the new Unangband maintainer DGoldDragon28 for taking over this variant. DGoldDragon28 had been developing a variant based on Unangband, and now has my blessing to continue with the main Unangband releases as well.

Hey there,
new player here, tried downloading the source code for 0.6.3a in order to compile it on Linux but the archive seems incomplete - for a start, './configure' is missing from it, so I can't really follow the compilation instructions.
Am I doing something wrong? If not, could you please upload complete sources for the game?
Thanks in advance.
You're probably not doing anything wrong. I don't have Linux installed anywhere to verify this. Ping a note on the Angband.oook.cz forums and I'm sure someone will help you out.
There are some bugs in the packaging:
* nocompile.txt shouldn't be there
* The compile instructions are for vanilla, not Un.
* SDL can't be enabled in the makefile.std (the standard makefile for UNIX operating systems).
I worked compilation out on Linux because I've compiled Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, which is quite similar. Here's how:
1. In the source directory, open up makefile.std in a text editor, like KWrite or Emacs.
2. Look through the top section "Things you should, or could, change". Uncomment or comment any interfaces you want or don't want. (The comment symbol is a hash/sharp sign.) I recommend keeping the curses interface enabled at least, because it's the most stable.
3. Save the makefile and close the text editor.
4. In a terminal, type "make -f makefile.std" without quotes. (A nice trick in the Dolphin file manager is to press Shift-F4 to open a terminal at your current folder.)
5. Now you can play the game. Make sure you're not in the source directory when you're launching the game.
