my level gen algorithms are 100% my original work, and there are nine
different ones used in the game.
some take longer than others, and what takes the longest is insuring
connectivity between all parts of the dungeon;.
any map that does not meet certain requirements (floor spaces,
connectedness, etc.) is scrapped,
and the process starts again.
i was thinking of making a version with a little progress meter, so
that people could be sure that it was actually *doing something*, but
i chose to do save/load instead (done today)
window size: ooh, maybe i will go back to 800x600. sorry about that.
thanks again for playing,
bob
Monsters:
- 45 monsters, of which you will encounted about 2/3 in any given
game (saving some for future plays)
- each monster has 6 variable AI preferences, for aggression, greed,
"gregarious", stealth, wander, flee
- some monsters have ranged attacks, special attacks (like poison or
confuse you, drain XP, destroy your potions or scrolls)
- passive powers like invisibility, breeder, reflect damage,
stationary
- some monsters can move thru terrain that you can't, so a xorn might
pop right out of the walls!
Items:
- 11 weapons, 11 armors to find, of improving quality.
- 10 potions and 10 scrolls, all of which must be identified by using
them
- potions can be used as thrown weapons, though some might be a bad
idea to throw...
General:
- autosave every time you go down stairs,
- save is deleted when you die (permadeath is on!)
- nutrition and light must be maintained thru pick-ups.
- 15 levels to explore.
- 9 different dungeon generation functions, with many possibilities
and modifiers applied to each.
- 7 kinds of wall, 11 kinds of non-wall, including windy areas that
diminish your light.
- hidden doors.
- very simple command set. Quaff, Read, Throw, >descend, .rest, ?
help, (movement)
Looks nice. Uses 100% CPU, though. On my laptop (old 2.4ghz single core)
it bogs down so badly that it misses/skips keystrokes.
