NOTE: There are known issues with the game running on Arch and Debian. The Debian issue and possible fix is listed in issues of this repo. I haven't had time to address these yet.
I saw this on reddit and saw that it was done in python and since I am currently workng on the python RL tut, curiousity got hte better of me.
I simply jumped through the terminal output rabbit hole and evenually got this running on Ubuntu 14.04.
I included the files for libtcod until I get yelled at as the engine is in no way my own.
The only thing you might need to do to get this running is to install pygame
Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install python-pygame"
Other distros: yum/pacman/whatever "python-pygame" probably :P
Then make sure armcom.py is executable and run it from terminal or double clicking.
