7DRL Success: Fortress of the Goblin King

[Florian Diebold]

I didn't implement everything I had hoped for, but I think it is a
success nonetheless.
Downloads are on launchpad:
https://launchpad.net/fotgk-7drl/7drl/1.0
Direct link to the executable jar file: http://launchpad.net/fotgk-7drl/7drl/1.0/+download/fotgk.jar
Double-clicking the file or running "java -jar fotgk.jar" should run
the game on most platforms (you need Java 1.5, though).
The sources (mainly scala, a tiny bit of java) are available there,
too, if anyone is interested.

You are an assassin, and your job is to kill the goblin king, who
resides on level 6 of his dungeon, and then get back. But first, you
have to get by his guards.
Move around with the arrow keys, vi keys (including zubn for
diagonals) or the numpad; wait with . or numpad-5; examine your
environment with x and your items with i. Attack or stab enemies and
open doors by bumping into them. The other keys are discoverable
through the x and i commands, but I'll list them anyway: 'g'et and
'd'rop items; 'e'quip and 'r'emove them; 'a'im with the bow and 'f'ire
it (you can fire without aiming first, but this will reduce your hit
chances). You can also remove torches from torch holders with 't', and
shout with '!' (although you probably don't want to do this).
You don't get experience for killing enemies; rather, everytime you
get to a new dungeon level, you can raise a stat.
If you don't want to be detected, try to stay out of the light and
near the walls. Also, you should generally try to avoid fights,
because you have only three hit points and there are no ways of
healing...

I apologize for the bad performance of the game; I didn't have the
time to optimize it. I hope the it is somewhat enjoyable anyways ;-)
