What version to mess around with?

I want to make a patch to let the character worship any number of gods at the same time. I won't attempt to balance it -- the game will just be easier, but maybe more fun too. (I've only ever won once)

Should I use 0.10.0? 0.10.2? trunk?

Always trunk.

Re: What version to mess around with?

I would suggest going with 0.10.2, since that's the latest stable version. Changing a build of trunk means that your patch is obsolete almost immediately, and there might be annoying bugs or quirks in unstable versions. With 0.10.2, you know what you're getting.

Note that if you want to write a patch that you want to be integrated into an official release of DCSS, current trunk is always the version to base it on. Basing a patch on a stable version only makes any sense if there is no chance the changes might be integrated into the official release.

Well, in this case - worshipping multiple gods has been discussed before and I think is a total non-starter IIRC. However, I'd be interested to try this out myself.

The thing with DCSS is, no matter how easy it gets, you still get killed.
