Proof of concept for a roguelike.

Qurawl

Proof of concept for a roguelike game. There is no real gameplay at the moment. It's all about the 4 basic actions of a grid/turn based game:

• Movement
• Picking up Items
• Dropping down Items
• Fight

Installation

Dependencies: Python2.6+ (tested with Python2.6, should work with Python 2.7 too)

Download and unpack this Repository. Enter

python start.py

at the top level directory.

Instructions

Implemented are 3 Players: Otto, Xenia and Yip, represented by uppercase letters O, X and Y respectively, to whom you can give commands. Yes, you have to type commands, no conventional key control here.

New: You can make typos, the input scanner tries to match your words.

Movement

The 4 directions are named up, left, right and down. Valid commands are for example (upper- or lowercase doesn't matter):

-> xenia up

-> otto down

-> yip right

etc.

You get it.

Items

Items are shown as non-alphabetical characters. Players and Monsters can pick up Health + , Armor ], Strength !, a silver key % and a gold key $ by moving over these locations. Items that hurt are Acid ~, Traps ^ and mines * (Ouch!).

Dropping

Pickable items can also dropped down with command syntax

<player name> drop <item name> <direction>

The item names are obviously (notice the underscore for double word items) :

• health
• armor
• strength
• silver_key
• gold_key

Examples:

-> xenia drop armor down

-> otto drop gold_key left

A drop is successful if there is enough amount available.

Fight

Monsters are represented by lowercase letters. Attack them with

<player name> attack <direction>

Example:

-> yip attack right

At Last

Hit RETURN and observe the monsters! To quit type q.
