Worked on the homepage a bit. Added new side menu and three new pages. The orginal manual of Akalabeth, a FAQ page for people having problems with the game, and game info page to tell people what this update really does compared to the first Akalabeth.

Well its finally here. The final release of akalabeth. The game is finally done. I opoligize for the lateness of the game but i was bug fixing it and bussy this summer. I have done alot of changes scence the last release I made V3.1b and the final release. I found out that the joystick couldn't work with the midi's. I also added keyboard menus and fixed menny bugs. I colored in all of the dungeon and the outside. I fixed the dungeon completely. I had another version to release before IE V3.1b but couldn't find the time so i continued to work on the final. There will be no more updates except if some one finds a major bug then i will fix it. Please e-mail me if you have any questions about the game or any problems. Thx this has been a fun two years. I have really enjoyed working on this prject and hope that most people will like it to.

I am adding updated progress all the time now. And i will give the dates of when the news is updated. I will include whats new to the game at rerlease time, what I have done to my site, what is currently being done.
Whats New V3.1
Added midi's to the game.(D%@# clear command was erasing the memory after setting up the midi program)
Added save feature to the game. It is "s" button and to load a game you journey onward at the menu.
So far since the last release Jeff has colored the ladder, trapdoor, and most of the doors. I am trying to make it so that the dungeon is drew first then the monsters. It should not be to hard.
I took off the guestbook seeing as it only worked in my orginal homepage. Please E-Mail me if you like what i am doing, it will help me alot to see that i am not wasting my time.
