Welcome to the Larn Wiki!

[1] History and Other Information Edit

Noah Morgan originally created LARN 12.0 and released the UNIX version to the USENET in 1986. Don Kneller ported the UNIX version to MSDOS (both IBM PCs and DEC Rainbows).

Other contributors from this era include:

James McNamara: UNIX install notes, source and patch distribution

Fred Fish: Termcap support for VMS port

Daniel Kegel: Enhanced ansi terminal decoding for DOS

Alexander Perry: Port for Linux 2.x kernel and GCC 3.x

Kevin Routley contributed various LARN enhancements. Version 12.1 had a limited distribution. Version 12.2 was distributed to the Usenet community. Version 12.3 was the last version released by Kevin.

Someone made 12.4 through 12.4.2, possibly copx according to roguebasin. Edwin Denicholas took 12.4 alpha 2 and caressed it into 12.4.3 for Win32. Version 12.4.4 includes a bugfix from Joe Neff.

Other editions of Larn have been distributed by others, namely LARN13, Ultra-Larn, and NLarn.

This is a JavaScript port of Larn, by Jason Primeau. It primarily uses the 12.4.4 codebase and includes a couple of small fixes, a global scoreboard, and minor updates to balance the game at higher difficulties, bumping the version number to 12.4.5.

I hope you enjoy this version of LARN.
