News/release from OutofRange: (http://palib.info/forum/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=3658&forum=9)


Based on a game called Nethack, but I don’t think there’s any way I could program the amount of commands that the game has in the time I have available. Thus, while based on it, it’s not the exact same game, and henceforth will be known as DungeonS. There’s still work left to do, but the basic game is there;

* Move using the Dpad
* ‘Fog Of War’ is fully integrated
* Random dungeon generation
* Monsters roaming the dungeon
* Attacking monsters, and receiving attacks
* Leveling up
* Picking up items
* Equiping weapons and eating
* Examining and dropping items

Things left to do include being able to equip the armour and the items such as rings. Also, there is currently no way of healing, since I haven’t programmed the spells or potions yet. The title screen has been programmed in a seperate project, where you can input your name, gender and class. At the moment, you can only be the warrior, but more will feature.

The final verison of the game will have a ’story’ mode, which will feature structured dungeons, in other words, they won’t have a randomly generated layout, and will have stairwells to progress through. It will also feature a ‘dungeons’ mode, which will make use of the random dungeon generator, and to progress you will need to kill all the monsters on the level.

Anyways, have fun with it, and let me know what you think, such as improvements or bugs.
