Land sky

Roguelike NetHacklike multiplayer game

Land sky project is an attempt at building a multiplayer version of Roguelike NetHacklike game.

Goal include:

• It should be multiplayer
• It should be sandbox
• It should be open source
• It should be fun as original game was
• It should be written in statically typed language. Reason for this is that is easier for new developers to get into, I choose C#.

Get started:

• >git clone https://github.com/branc116/LandSky
• Windows:
• Just install Visual studio
• open src/LandSky.sln
• Build and/or start hacking
• Start it inside Visual studio or run src/core/bin/Debug/LandSky.exe
• Linux and OS X (Maybe, most likely will not work, but I'll try to make it work)
• Hack with your favorite C# IDE
• Install Mono
• >xbuild src/LandSky.sln
• >mono src/core/bin/Debug/LandSky.exe

Design decisions

Here are some of the design decisions:

• Add as many comments as possible. Just so that other people can jump in code and see what you've done.
• Don't write you name on top of every file you make. This is team effort, not a competition.
• Naming convention: Namespaces - PascalCase, classes - PascalCase, public properies - PascalCase, private properies - mPascalCase, other stuff is not really important
• JSON. Whenever you have to serialize object to save it, send it, ... use JSON

Current state

This project is in a very early stage and needs a lot of work. Everything that works should be more optimised.

What works:

• Room generation
• Path generating
• Controls
• Rendering
• Maybe someting else...

TODO list

This is the list of stuff that need to be made. I'm always open to suggestions if you have an idea.

• Implement real time database for multyplayer stuff
• Implement sql or nosql database for saving player status and game states
• Implement more screens
• Make the drawing process faster
• Make gameplay features
• A lot more
