History
DND was written in BASIC by Daniel Lawrence for the PDP-10 and released around 1977.[3][4] Later the game found its way to DEC and was there rewritten 1983 to Pascal.[5][6] The game was later reworked and re-released as Telengard by Daniel Lawrence.[1] Due to the BASIC source code availability the game was later ported and adapted to newer systems and programming languages.[3]
