tinyRL

tinyRL is a tiny rogue-like written in C.

Building

Should compile on most unixes, use a terminal emulator with UTF-8 support. Install termbox first, then do:

git clone https://github.com/sternenseemann/tinyrl.git
cd tinyrl
make
./tinyrl # have fun!

sudo make install # optionally install to /usr/local/bin

On NixOS you can just run nix-build in this directory.

Playing

Like in most roguelikes you'll be a @ in a monster-filled enviroment. The interface is a 2D top-view representation of this enviroment.

On Top you'll see your current level and how many lives (or hitpoints) you have left.

You can control yourself using (vim users – listen up!) hjkl or the arrow keys. You can quit using q.

As soon you get near a monster (or a monster gets near you) it will attack you if it's in a field that is vertically or horicontally the next to you. You can also attack them by moving towards them. A w is a warg which has one life, a o orc has got two lives.

To enter the next level you need to reach > which is the staircase to the next level.

At the current state of development there is no way of winning, you can just get as far as possible!

Monsters

Currently there are two types:

• cyan w: A warg – a wolf-like creature with one live
• green o: A orc – he's two lives
