I like this comic, because Geko drew a partly revealed room. That is not easy to draw, and we rarely witness a partly revealed room in Dudley's dungeon.
Because I do not know NetHack's exact rules for field of vision, I avoid partly revealed rooms. When I drew Dudley Potter in Squealspots, I carefully placed Dudley inside lit rooms to fully reveal the rooms, and I closed the doors to other rooms. In comic 20080129, I intentionally chose to draw a dark room.
"Field of vision" (or "line of sight") is a nontrivial topic:

You could ask your little to fetch whatever there is but of course, Dogley would simply lie and drive you mad.
Wearing a and kicking blindly doesn't reveal the square but it surely makes you look stupid.
Does ruining a NetHack Monument incur alignment penalty to an ? |

This was just hilarious!
To see Dudley's enthusiasm and fuzzing and jumping up and down for what turned out to be... - nothing at all. But it COULD have been a magic or a wishing. Definitely an E.
Wonderer, Dogley COULD lie or just make Dudley irritatingly unsure whether he is lying or telling the truth.. |

Anyone else remember the old versions where would be in a random room with no in a deep level of the dungeon, rather than her own level? This sort of reminds me of that in reverse.
(Great comic, BTW.) |
