slash

A data-driven terminal roguelike engine written in Bash.

Quick Start

Try ./slash. This runs:

1. Build: docker build -t slash .
2. Play: docker run -it --rm slash

The Vibe

slash is designed for vibe coding. All game balance lives in game.cfg. You can add new monsters, items, and weapons without writing a single line of code.

Config Schema (game.cfg)

The file follows this column order: TYPE | SYM | COLOR | NAME | HP | DAMAGE | ATTACK | AC | VALUE

• HP: Monster health / Potion healing.
• DAMAGE: Monster attack power.
• ATTACK: Weapon damage bonus.
• AC: Armor protection.
• VALUE: Max gold drop.

• Monster HP System: Make enemies take multiple hits based on their HP stat.
• Experience (XP): Gain levels and permanent stat boosts through combat.
• Identify Mechanics: Hide item stats until they are used or identified.
