Release Brogue

[lunixbochs]

Brogue is a rather shiny roguelike.


Keymap includes the Pandora gamepad buttons as follows:


A: autoexplore


X: enter (gives you a cursor)


B: escape


Y: inventory

Get it on the repo

Cool !


Does it run on 1GHz only ? ;^)

 

[lunixbochs]

Runs great on my original-model pandora. Won't have my 1ghz till tonight

Thanks for this version of Rogue, never played it before, but its a lot of fun. I got gassed and acid ate my flesh. Good times!

You can write a movie script everytime you play a rogue!


Sometimes I wonder if they are not the best form of single game there is.

Wow this is really a great roguelke, especially for newbies to the genre since it keeps the number of commands and menus to a minimum, yet allows for powerful and complex "skills" by enchanting items.


For example you find a wand of beckoning, which teleports monsters next to you, and you stand next to a lava pit


If you are curious, the game was covered in two episodes of roguelikeradio.

A torch fell on mossy floor setting it on fire and cornered me. My staff of blinking could not bring me across the flames to safety.

Trying to chase an Orc mage around the dungeon, I found he managed to choose an optimal fleeing path using the game's djirkstra maps http://roguebasin.roguelikedevelopment.org/index.php?title=The_Incredible_Power_of_Dijkstra_Maps ... I had to resume exploring until he decided to attack again. Pretty cool stuff. The enemies are very smart at using the dungeon map totheir advantage.

Very very cool game !! I'm just burning alive but with a smile on my face !! ^_^

I keep autoexploring and breezing along until DLVL 4 and whenever I run into a pack of jackals they make short work of me. Need some way to do distance damage to them I think. z

 

[lunixbochs]

I'm working on a new version based on 1.7 with bigger font size. I had an issue with my build box but I should hopefully have a pnd out in the next hour or two

Hellz yeah!!!!

 

[lunixbochs]

Just uploaded a new PND: http://repo.openpand...tail&app=brogue

• moved from Brogue 1.6.x to Brogue 1.7
  
• explore delay is a *bit* shorter... also keep in mind you can ctrl+explore for almost no delay.
  
• now includes a readme via an <info> tag in the pxml
  
• improved display
  bigger font size
  
• rows/columns match the pandora's screen size

Is there a chance you could attach/upload the changed source and fonts? I would like to have fullscreen 800x480 on N900 as well.

 

[lunixbochs]

My version of the source is hosted at: https://github.com/lunixbochs/brogue


I launch with "./brogue --size 3"

 

[klapse]

Managed to build your 1.7 branch and apply your screen size changes to 1.6.4. Nice job.


-git source is missing the makefile (I used makefile from 1.6.4)


-cannot input any keycommands (n900) on either build - any idea what's broken?

 

[lunixbochs]

Dunno what you're talking about re: Makefile. It's very clearly right there: https://github.com/l...master/Makefile


As for keyboard commands: I'm pretty sure it just uses normal SDL or whatever input via libtcod. I have no idea how the n900 could mess that up

Thanks for the quick response to my comment in the repo. If you ever make an update, then you could consider to mention the ABXY-keys in the documentation. That change is not worth the effort of a release on it's own. A link in the repo to this thread might be of interest as well.

I somehow missed seeing a makefile in the zipped download.


The keyboard commands not working was due to a bug in maemo's SDL_WM_SetIcon which causes the SDL window to lose focus. Commenting-out that line fixed it. Thanks for the resized modifications! It is MUCHmmore playable with increased font size.
