Terminal Based Roguelike in C and C++

A roguelike game for Com S 327 at Iowa State University. Built in C and C++ with Ncurses.

Each folder represents the first to last assignment which halfway through transitions from C to C++. The last assignment in C is 1.05, all subequent assignments are in C++. Each assignment builds on the last so the code may be viewed as a story through commit logs, README's, and assignment pdfs.

Dependencies

If using ubuntu you can just paste this in your terminal:

sudo apt install gcc-8 g++-8 libncurses5-dev

GCC and G++ To compile or make .c and .cpp files respectively

GCC-8 and G++-8 were used for this project but it should work fine with other versions. GCC-8 (for Ubuntu, sudo apt install gcc-8) G++-8 (for Ubuntu, sudo apt install g++-8)

NCurses

For Ubuntu, sudo apt install libncurses5-dev

There are more ncurses packages if desired such as debugging packages and can be found with "apt-cache search libncurses".

How to play

cd FINAL_VERSION
make
./rlg327

Keybindings

There are too many to list. Check here for basic movement such as arrow keys, equip items with 'w' and more. Includes debug bindings such as teleport and toggling of fog of war. Prompts will be shown on screen to assist. Escape will exit the current prompt and 'Q' will exit the game.

Also, of note: 'r' to initial ranged attack (if you have a ranged weapon) and 'r' again to attack your selection. 'R" will attack your previous target if still valid. Pressing 'z' will target a monster with a poison bomb and affects all nearby monsters over time.

Opional tags

There are quite a few:

• (-n/-nummon X) sets the number of monsters in your dungeon to X
• (-s/--save) saves the dungeon to $HOME/.rlg327 after it is generated (not useful)
• (-l/--load) loads a saved dungeon (must exist in $HOME/.rlg327) (also not useful)
• (-i/--image filename) creates a dungeon based on a black and white pgm file
• (-o/--objcount X) creates X number of objects in your dungeon
• (-r/--rand X) creates a dungeon based on X as your seed

If incorrect useage is given, you will see this printed to stderr: Usage: %s [-r|--rand ] [-l|--load []] [-s|--save []] [-i|--image ] [-n|--nummon ] [-o|--objcount ]
