7DRL success: Ravenous RL

[steev]

The only access to the Internet I've had this weekend is my cellphone,
so I haven't been able to upload my roguelike but it is finished. I'll
post a link when I get to work tomorrow morning.

So here it finally is: Ravenous RL:

Overall I would deem it a huge success. I programmed it from bottom-to-
top myself.
Wrote my own line of sight algorithm, as well as several AI path
finding algorithms.
It includes 20 levels, 8 enemy types (plus one variation of each), and
6 different categories of 'spells.'
there is a leveling system and an inventory (of sorts).

There's a pretty good series of help pages programmed into it, and if
you're still confused about what's going on I blog the creation of it
here:

I will be updating there shortly with a more detailed description of
what I've done, and where I plan to go from here.

Hi,

Great game, it has lots of charm. The eating / spitting mechanic works
nicely. Not sure why you can't move diagonally. I found the game very
tough as I frequently ran out of food which left me very vulnerable.
