Yiuf's Home for Lost and Forgotten Species

Yiuf will make some space in his hut for other sad creatures
and they can be a little family in the dark.
The following species were experimentals, or were removed, but are now available in Yiuf's home:
Just like with normal Crawl, INSTALL.txt is your friend. You should read it!
Crawl is pretty easy to compile on OSX and linux, and I'm going to try to upload Windows builds periodically because life is hard for y'all.
A note on goals - These are old races that veteran players have had a chance to see, and newer players have not. So this is simply an attempt to collect all those dusty old races and get them working in a modern setting. I'm not gonna revert wand changes, or bring back Evaporation or revert square LOS or anything else like that. I hope someone enjoys these species! A couple were very easy to just dust off and plug back in, a couple required a major rewrite because their old code was too old and unsimilar to code currently used in crawl. Overall, a pretty fun and non-daunting project for a novice coder!
A more detailed README: https://github.com/yrmvgh/yiufcrawl/blob/yiuf/README.md
(readme includes install instructions for Linux, or any computer that has the ability to run "git" and "make", really)
Download a Windows build here: https://github.com/yrmvgh/yiufcrawl/releases
Also available from the Arch User Repository!
You can play online on the Sydney, AUS server https://crawl.project357.org/
You can also play online on the Gnollcrawl NA server http://www.gnollcrawl.tk/
Pull requests and feedback welcome, of course. More species are on the way!
