xNetHack Version 7.0 Released!
These announcements always seem to happen in the late winter for some unknowable reason. Anyway, xNetHack version 7.0 is officially released! You can play it directly on hardfought.org, via an SSH client of your choice or in your browser with tiles. Windows binaries are available at the GitHub release page - follow the devteam's instructions for running on Windows. Or you can get the source from GitHub and compile it yourself.

Link to Angband running code, which has some of the features you're describing. It's a big chunk of C, but about halfway down there's a comment with a bunch of description which might be useful.

People To Make Games With: A Free Resource
