Q: What is rogue-like RPG?
A: According to Wikipedia
Rogue-like RPG is a sub-genre of role-playing video games,
characterized by randomization for replayability, permanent death,
and turn-based movement. Many early roguelikes featured ASCII graphics.
Games are typically dungeon crawls, with many monsters, items, and
environmental features. Computer roguelikes usually employ the majority
of the keyboard to facilitate interaction with items and the environment.
The name of the genre comes from the 1980 game Rogue.
Q: But why do you use ASCII art instead of 3d graphics?
A: Because I do not want to waste my time for learning about 3d
engines. Ncurses is much easier.
Q: Ok, what do I need to play?
A: Read Main Page
Q: Why is movement control is so stupid? Why do you use k, l, h, j keys to
move instead of up, right, left, down arrows?
A: Because my wish is looking this game like Nethack. k, l, h, j keys are
usual movement control keys there.
Q: I want to learn more about control keys. Where can I read about
them?
A: About control keys and some other things you can
read here
Q: Ok. What is already implemented in this game?
A: I have already done level and player generation, movement, fighting
with monsters, using weapons and tools, saving, level changing and so on.
Q: And what is not?
A: There are still some bugs in the game. Also, the game functional is simple
now. Later, it will grow. I am going to improve interface, fighting, add
new tools and monsters
Q: How can I join to the project?
