It is a small SourceForge-era game package rather than a large active engine project. ### Project history The Avanor website credits Vadim Gaidukevich and carries early-2000s project styling and news. Its news archive records releases through 0.5.x, an open-sourcing announcement in July 2003, and a later development build after a long break in 2005. The SourceForge project page describes Avanor as a feature-rich fantasy roguelike with an interactive world, while the official manual covers the expected roguelike topics: quick start, keyboard layout, basic knowledge, magic, skills, equipment, tactics, test modes, and credits. ### Adoption history Avanor's packaging footprint appears narrow. The input only records a Homebrew package, and the upstream download path points to SourceForge project files rather than a broad modern release system. Its adoption is best understood as preservation of a small open-source roguelike in package-manager form. ### How it is used Users run the `avanor` terminal executable and play through keyboard-driven roguelike controls. The manual documents game mechanics rather than system configuration, so there is no official config or credential file to report. ### Why package nerds care For package nerds, Avanor is interesting as a preserved ncurses-era roguelike with a SourceForge SVN repository and an old upstream website. It is the kind of formula that keeps niche terminal games installable long after their original community infrastructure has gone quiet. ### Timeline - 2002: Official news mentions console-output source samples for Win32. - 2003: Avanor 0.5.3, 0.5.6, and 0.5.7 releases noted on the official site. - 2003: Official site says Avanor was open sourced in July. - 2005: Development version released after an almost two-year break. - 2006: Official site returned after downtime and announced that 0.6.0 would be available soon. ### Related projects - ADOM: upstream describes Avanor's UI as ADOM-like. - SourceForge SVN: official code hosting for the project. - ncurses-style terminal roguelikes: the broader packaging niche Avanor belongs to. ### Sources - - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** avanor - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Related links - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Game and emulation packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/game-emulation-tools/) - Matched game or emulation metadata. - [Homebrew utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew-utility-packages/) - Matched Homebrew package provider. - [brogue](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/brogue/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, game, games, roguelike, terminal. - [rogue](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rogue/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, game, games, roguelike, rpg. - [allureofthestars](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/allureofthestars/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, game, games, roguelike. - [angband](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/angband/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, game, games, roguelike. - [cataclysm](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cataclysm/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, game, games, roguelike. - [jnethack](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/jnethack/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, game, games, roguelike. - [nethack](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/nethack/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, game, games, roguelike. - [slashem](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/slashem/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, games, roguelike, rpg. - [gpcslots2](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gpcslots2/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
