I know, I know. You guys are all probably tired of all these new Rogue-Likes, but I decided to try one also. I'm using C++. One thing that I hope will make this game different, and hence, better to play, is the fact that it will be using a random world and towns. Also, to be added eventually, is random quests, though I am still working on that lol. Here are some expected features...
------------------------------------------------- As said earlier, after a while, random quests may be added. I'm kind of practicing my C++ skills with this, and am still in school, so I will not get a whole lot of time to work on it. I'll try to keep you all updated. Wish me luck.

I like it, pass me the plan whenever u like. Mine is on Designing stage as well (Java though) and I'll pass u as soon as I finish it. Thx in advance. |

Glad you like it, yours sounds good too. Visit my website for my e-mail, and e-mail me if you want. I'd be glad to share ideas. Maybe we can swap algos and generator pseudo code, that kind of thing. My webbie is at this site, enjoy. |

Well, I'm still working on the Plans, but so far, everything is looking good. I'm still thinking of a way to make random world maps and towns, but they'll come, they'll come. |

Well, I'm done with my brainstorming, and am ready to start coding. I'll start with some classes, then go on to world generation. Hurray! |

Well... Some unfortunate news indeed. I'm starting highschool now, which means that progress for the RL will be severly retarted. Hopefully I'll be able to get in some coding in my spare time, but it's looking a bit unlikely. I'll continue with updates, and with some of my little brainstorms. Sorry to those who are watching the development of the project. |

Well, finally some good news, I have now completed a rough(very) version of the Being class. Since I want Monsters and Players to be fairly alike (with a few exceptions of course) they will both derive from this base class, which is an ADT. For those of you who read the JADE documentation, and everything else TB has written, then you may notice that this is a lot like his idea. I assure you that I didn't steal any ideas from him. I have actually had these ideas since I first started trying to make a rogue-like in QBasic (not easy mind you). His docs just gave me a good name for all of this stuff. Now I am working on the two derived classes, which will basically add a few methods and members, as well as overide the two message methods, which are used to store (guess what) messages in the message center. |

Well, here is another brainstormed idea. I think I will implement "Fatigue" into players and monsters, so that a monster is more dangerous when you first attack him, since he is more rested (is that a word?) and capable of making harder attacks. This will make resting a more important part in my RL. Perhaps (R)est will be a totally seperate command, so you can't just press the wait button. This will make the "Magic Lock" spell (should I choose to implement one) be more valuable, as it would allow you to lock yourself in a room to rest without worrying about other monsters killing you in your sleep. Just another one of my crazy ideas. Thanks for listening =) |

Long time no post :) me (and demented jam, too I think) are busy with our life, so you dont need to excuse for making it long (look at ADOM) You are doing the Being/Creature classes first? How about making the display first and let us having some sneak peek :) My RL dumpyard: http://www.geocities.com/ceruleannebula/index.html |

Hmm... Good idea. How do you think I should do so? I think I may end up restarting the entire project (Ooh wow, 100 lines of code, if that much). I just think I approached it wrong. Thanks for the idea. I'll look into it. |

my code is now available at my topic, just down load the thing and look at the src folder :) My RL dumpyard: http://www.geocities.com/ceruleannebula/index.html |

390 days, 23 hours, 53 minutes and 28 seconds ago. Lol, wow. It's been way too long. Anyway. I'm trying to get my RL to be as platform independent as possible. As such, I was wondering if anyone knew of a good library for printing characters at certain locations on the screen. |

Most people use curses or its varients or SDL. Try posting questions like this at news:rec.games.roguelike.development or with google groups http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.roguelike.development You will get a lot more responses. Cheers |

Yeah, persistent little bugger too, 6 pages worth of junk... Let's see if I can tweak my "dumb bot blocker" code a little to trip it up before it does a new run. Jan Erik Mydland HoF admin |
