Automatically eating instead of starving to death

Post by Emulord » Fri 30.05.2008, 20:25

Exactly what the title says. Whenever I introduce someone new into the game, its almost guaranteed they die from starvation once, simply because in most games you dont need to eat.
So instead of starving, how about it forces you to eat if you have something edible in your pack (rations of food first, followed by waybread, then mushrooms)?

If someone can't handle the simple task of eating it's probably pretty unlikely they can handle MAngband at all. It's ok to die from starvation once though, that's how you learn you've got to eat. :)

Client still disconnects with "starving to death" message right? So unless you don't carry food or anything to satisfy hunger, the probability that your char will starve to death is 0.

Yeah. Unless you want to starve, or don't know how to eat...
