Torchbearer is a simple app for your Shadowdark torching needs.

  • Click the flame to add a torch.
  • Torches can be ignited and extinguished by double or long-clicking.
  • Torches burn down in real time, which can be paused with the pause button.
  • A single click opens the menu for the torch.
    • Torches can be discarded.
    • Torches can be recharged with oil.
    • Torches can have their overall duration adjusted, eg: make a torch a 10-minute torch.

Torchbearer does not provide detail on when the torch will burn out. Keep an eye on your torches, and beware of the Grue.

Torchbearer can be run from its github.io page. Torchbearer is open source. Source is available on GitHub.
