7drl 2014 Success (approximately)

[Martin Read]

I have a completed entry for the 2014 7drlc.

It is not quite as a substantial as I had intended, but it's a considerable
improvement on what passed for my 2012 attempt :)

Source code only. Should build on reasonable Unix-like platforms.

Mine is very insubstantial and utterly unpolisherd although it is
playable:

I am pleased with the basic interface design in that I think it can be
the basis of a good mobile roguelike.

Click on a square or monster to move. Click adjacent monster to attack,
or adjacent gold statue to activate. Click inventory item to use (6
items, single use, no drop). Click self on stairs to go down. Kill
golem-transformed King Midas without succumbing to his curse.

Any chance of something more accessible? I'm fairly sure only 1% of roguelikers
can play your game with any degree of ease!

My game DataQueen is happily complete. Linux, OSX and Windows version available
here: http://gamesofgrey.com/blog/?p=461 I'm extremely happy with how it has
come together - lots of hex-based tactical goodness :)

I've highlighted 26 of the most interesting 7DRLs I've seen so far here:

And we had a Roguelike Radio episode talking about ~40 7DRLs:

Might do another episode soon - let me know if there are any highlights we've
missed :)

Clarify "something more accessible". This goes double if by "something
more accessible" you mean "Windows binaries" or "Android binaries" (in
both cases the answer is "almost certainly not, unless someone is
volunteering to do the porting work").

How about a Linux binary? :) I have no interest in messing with
compilers on my netbook just to play 1 game.

And I'm sure if you reach out you can find someone in the roguelike
community willing to put together a Windows binary for you.

That, I can do :)

If you're using a Debian-derived distro,
http://www.blackswordsonics.com/martin/obumbrata/obumbrata_1.0.0-1_i386.deb
should work for you. (It's built against Debian stable, and doesn't use
anything liable to have exciting obsolescence issues, so any downstream
distro it doesn't install on has *questions* to answer.)

And if you're not,
http://www.blackswordsonics.com/martin/obumbrata/obumbrata.gz
is a gzipped copy of the executable, which is provided on a "you get to
keep both pieces" basis.

If I was intending to ever touch my 7DRL's code again without first
receiving a bug report, I would.
