Apologies for the inconvenience. Dwarf Fortress Classic is an ASCII-based single-player fantasy game by Bay 12 Games. You can control a dwarven outpost or an adventurer in a randomly generated, persistent world. This is an unofficial snap, which redistributes the original binaries without modification. Copyright (c) 2002-2022. All rights are retained by Tarn Adams, save the following: you may distribute modified text files from the data and raw folders (see the readme.txt in those folders for more information). We'd appreciate it if you credit yourself or an alias somewhere for any modifications to prevent confusion with vanilla DF (it helps with bug reports). This software is still in development, and this means that there are going to be problems, including serious problems that, however unlikely, might damage your system or the information stored on it. Please be aware of this before playing. **Forked from:** **Fork URL:** **Game Authors:** Zach and Tarn Adams **Upstream:** **Major Updates:** * **04/02/2020 (v0.47.01)** Updated the launcher to allow opening the game in either '2D Mode' or 'Text Mode'. In the event that [PRINT MODE:2D] has been set in **'~/snap/dwarffortress/current/data/init/init.txt'**, the game will launch as normal except also launching a companion terminal (this may be safely ignored and will close with the game). If [PRINT MODE:TEXT] has been set in the above file, the game will play directly within the terminal instead of opening a separate window.
