Rogue Forest

Post by rje »


 




This is a Rogue-like game, where you hack your way through a dense forest in search of a way out.  Also, there's a rumor that the fabled Amulet of Yendor is lost somewhere in this forest.  What a feather in your cap it would be to return with that!




The map is revealed as you explore.  Aside from the Amulet, there are three other kinds of treasures -- weapons, armor, and food.  Weapons and armor vary greatly in their effectiveness: pay attention to their descriptions and you'll learn which ones are better.




There are 31 monsters in the forest.  They are currently differentiated by name only.





  • Movement is via the cursor keys.  Trees are impassable, and usually immovable.


  • Escape the forest at the eastern or western borders.


  • "Bump" a treasure to inspect it.  There are no traps, so all treasure is safe to check out.


  • "Bump" a monster to attack it.


  • If your hit points reach zero, you're dead.


  • Press the spacebar or the period (".") to rest and regain one hit point.


  • Type "e" to eat some food, if you have any.  Hunger greatly reduces your combat ability!




 



Added in Dusan's simple sound effects library (it helps!).
