I think it only keeps track of the objects on one level. One level is not
that big. If you leave a level the stuff left there is lost, and the level
is randomly generated next time you enter it, with new items and monsters.

And a question:

* What more can be added to a textbased game such as Angband, which
already has a lot of depth (unlike modern games)? Are multiplayer
capabilities considered.
