End of Day 1
Today I could invest a lot of time into the project, it’s a great
start!
Against all odds, I succeeded at disassembling the source of CvRL
1.26, extracting and generalizing all of the useful. There is a long
road to travel, but it is working, the SWORE engine is up and running,
powered up by libjcsi and backing up a proof of concept implementation
of “Expedition”
So yeah, what is Expedition, if it’s not my 7DRL project for 2009!
Details will be slowly unveiled, day by day.

End of Day 2
The object model has been implemented, I also worked a bit on the UI
side. The SWORE engine is proving to be useful and reusable for other
projects :)
I also bought a miniature expeditionary, for inspiration!

End of Day 5
Invested a lot of time into a Map Writer component (to create maps
based on an image)
Also worked on the landing part, it is half working now.

Gelatinous Mutant Coconut
similar in spirit to the SNES game "Uncharted Waters: New Horizons"; I
have always wished there would be more games of a similar nature.
(Which reminds me, I really need to look into trying some of the older
exploration game classics like "The Seven Cities of Gold".)
I'm looking forward to playing Expedition when it gets released!

hopping type game way a great way to mesh random overland map
generation and the RL genre. I'm really curious to see your
interpretation of it.

End of Day 7
Finished! (kind of) I am waiting for the map world data to arrive
(left it at office), then will release
Slash
I will detail all my journey, the lessons learned and the features of
the game in the next post!
For now, you can download the game at http://santiagoz.com/blog
Beware, the game on its current status takes about 30 seconds to load
the world map!
I (as usual) hoped to acomplish much more, but (as usual) time was not
enough. I think I forgot the lesson from previous years and instead
went for a scope even bigger than then. I am however pretty content
with the results. Also, the source will be released soon.
All your comments are welcome

Looks really interesting, but I couldn't get anywhere with it.
Firstly I got trapped in a shop - took me ages to figure out space was
the only way to cancel and leave. Then when I tried leaving the
harbour the Y/n prompt simply didn't work. Nothing I hit could make
it either go on the ship or leave the Y/n prompt. Retried a few times
and still couldn't get anywhere. Also as much as I bashed the
keyboard I could find no way of stopping the damned midi :(
Am I doing something wrong my end, or is there some bug in the prompt?

As I said, the world map will take a while to load! about 30-45
seconds, just be a bit patient :)
I will probably have it "fixed" this week (that mean, not loading a
huge map but instead read portions to memory) (7DRLs are allowed to
have technical fixes :))

A video is available at youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX3nPpDIOmg
As usual with roguelikes, video quality suffers hard. Also, the sound
sounds like hell, sounds much better ingame ;)
Have a look, bye

ages at 1.5 unless I go to the trouble of getting X running. Any way
you can compile it for 1.4 or 1.5... at least from the command line
its a simple 'javac -target 1.4'. Baring that, can you release the
source so I can struggle with it?
Slash
Ooops... forgot my laptop at work has 1.6 as default JDK! Will compile
again at home :)
Also, the source will be released soon... ish... :)
