Thank you for compiling the list!
Emperor Engine and Pyromancer, don't fit the timeframe of the challenge though :)
There are also two new projects!
SpiritsRL @ http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.roguelike.development/browse_thread/thread/f4677ad876537deb# (http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.roguelike.development/browse_thread/thread/f4677ad876537deb#)
DukeRL @ http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.roguelike.development/browse_thread/thread/3471ed69396779d6# (http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.roguelike.development/browse_thread/thread/3471ed69396779d6#)
40 entries is a lot more than I expected, lets see how many can finish! :)
-
This biggest turn out yet, if I'm not mistaken :)
-
do those released a bit before the official start date count?
-
I've updated the post to include the two new entrants, and to separate the "out of challenge" 7DRLs into a separate section (and including stu's Tomb of Rawdin).
-
Whoa, that is totally amazing! So many people doing roguelikes! And I spot some pretty awesome ideas too!
Damn my busyness! Yes, 'tis typed correctly! 'Lo, the deadlines looming in the horizon! 'Lo, the responsibilities circling high above, as vultures! Where art thou, my sweet, sweet time. My free time! My life!
*weep*
-
Also "Excitable Digger" by Eben Howard (deej). Named in IRC only, not home yet :)
-
Woohoo, 42 is a great number :) And we've already had our first victory, idontexist's "The True God". Get the windows exec here:
http://stonesofchaos.googlecode.com/files/Truegod7drlwin.zip
-
Am I really first? I feel special and am very satisfied with my game.
-
I have always thought the idea is to use up all seven days :P
-
I wasn't sure that i would have all 7 days available so I made it fast as i could. I think it's pretty damn good for 4 days work.
-
I'm also working on one. That brings the total to like 44, which I have to say is the largest programming competition I've heard about. The Day of Zeux in the MZX community has a fairly large competition, but still never 44 separate entries. Go roguelikes.
By the way, here's my blog for my 7DRL: http://backwardsgravity.blogspot.com/
-
I've reviewed Emperor Engine by Kaw on my lj account here http://adoxographist.livejournal.com/
I plan on adding more reviews as I play the games.
-
Quite a turnout this time around. I'm looking forward to seeing all of the original ideas people come up with.
-
That was straining...
I'm more or less happy with the result of my game, even though I originally wanted to make it much bigger :-\
-
Here is my entry for the 7DRL challenge Escape from Lab 42. You can grab the Win32 exe and FreeBasic sources from my skydrive:
http://cid-bcdbe1b9697ff5dc.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/lab42/lab42.zip
It would have been nice to have some more time to test, but that is what this challenge is all about. I have included a readme in the zip file that gives a quick explanation of the game. You probably don't need it since the game is very simple.
I *think* everything is working, which just means I didn't have time to find all the bugs. :)

Copy cat!

I've tried to keep this post (http://www.roguetemple.com/forums/index.php?topic=343.msg2680#msg2680) updated release information and so on. 17 successes reported so far! Waiting to hear on another 24... We'll likely have more successes this year than we've had entrants in any previous year!
I never had the time to finish mine unfortunately, but hopefully I'll complete as a normal RL some day.
-
Last minute success? Kindof, I released a version of my 7DRL that you can win. The thing is, it's totally incomplete. Never the less, you can win it and it has enemies. So, I finished!
Here it is:

Just wanted to say nice work on keeping this list updated. I have been using it to follow the progress. Very handy.

Ditto, cheers!

Success!
Excitable Digger has been released with a few hours to spare :)
Download and info at:

(I'm not sure why my entry got listed as 42nd Attempt, that was someone else...)
-
Sorry deej, must have gotten 2 titles mixed up. Means there was actually 45 entrants! Updated the listing (which I suppose I'll port to RogueBasin shortly). 24 winners, 9 losers, and still awaiting to hear from 12. This year really has been an astoundingly successful competition :)
-
Is there any particular order to the list?
-
I must inform you that chickhack was also a success! You may obtain it here: http://code.google.com/p/chickhack (http://code.google.com/p/chickhack). What a fun challenge.
-
GrimRL <- Failure
Planets of Elderlore <- Wrong link: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.roguelike.development/browse_thread/thread/a7849198aaa2a8ee/
-
Cheers for the corrections - updated the post. Not likely to see any more updates now I imagine; everything awaiting information is almost certainly a fail.
-
Most probably, I will wait until tomorrow for the official announcements.
-
Well, I've updated RogueBasin with all of these details. Check out here (http://roguebasin.roguelikedevelopment.org/index.php?title=7DRL_Contest_2009) and here (http://roguebasin.roguelikedevelopment.org/index.php?title=2009_Out_of_Challenge_7DRLs). If your title is in there then please check it out to make sure the links and info are correct, and you are encouraged to add an article for your 7drl if you haven't done so already.
-
I added my developer page and EFL 42 page. I hope I did it correctly. I am familiar with wikis (I have my own), but I am not sure of the all categories that Roguebasin uses.
-
Cheers for doing the medal, Slash - looks the coolest of any year yet IMO!
-
Very nice indeed.
-
Thank you!
-
I wrote an article in "RogueBasin" for chickhack and i had to write one for "Commodore 64" too as nobody has used that yet it seems ;)
Oh, i love my medal also :D
-
Was there any good games this time? I haven't tried any of them.
-
You just HAD to do that, didn't you? :D
-
Well, there are no real games this time either, sorry Krice!
-
Was there any good games this time? I haven't tried any of them.
I'll tell you in a little bit (http://cymonsgames.retroremakes.com/7drl-reviews/).
-
Can anyone get backwards gravity to compile? I tried it in PDCurses on windows and got nothing. And I can't contact the developer. If anyone else can get it to work, let me know, otherwise I'm going to suggest dropping it as a failure.
-
I suppose I can make a Windows binary. It'll be out later on tonight.
Edit; Tried MinGW, but their stupid standard C++ library wouldn't compile on my machine. Tried Cygwin, but roughly the same thing happened (Man I'm unlucky). So I'm going to use Visual C++, but it's taking forever to install, so the Windows binary will be a little late.
Edit #2: Attached is the incredibly buggy windows binary. Enjoy.
-
Played it, and eventually got stuck on an unpassable level (stairs were on a ledge at the top that couldn't be reached). Can't say it was an overall pleasant experience, but the gravity/jumping mechanic was interesting. Do you plan on doing further work on this?
-
At the very least, I'm going to fix the dungeon generator so it doesn't make impossible levels. I've never actually gotten to the "YOU WIN" screen because the dungeon generator keeps screwing up D:. After that, I'd like to add real enemies, items, armor and weapons but I'm not sure how much work I really want to put into it. Originally, I had planned to have three seperate dungeons, with many different types of random dungeon generators, but clearly I didn't have enough time for that.
Anyway, I may work on it more, especially if there's any interest in it.
-
@Elig: Looks nice, the plataformer aspect is similar to megamanRL, but it seems you went a completely different way regarding dungeon generation, wantz to discuss it?
-
Thanks Slash! Actually, MegamanRL was partially the inspiration for Backwards Gravity. The dungeon generation is fairly odd in Backwards Gravity because I wanted each map to only take up a single 80x24 screen, similar to Nethack, etc. Originally I had planned to include many different dungeon generation algorithms that would be chosen at random, but I only had time to implement two. The first map has it's own dungeon generator, since it's something of a special map. The player was supposed to start in the "house" on the first map, but I was lazy.
The two dungeon generation algorithms used are incredibly simple. The first randomly picks a location, and then draws a randomly sized filled block that has edges the player can walk on. It remembers the previous block it drew, and upon drawing the next block, links with the previous using a seperate function whose only job is to correctly link any two locations on the map.
The second algorithm is much like the first, but slightly different. It starts by drawing "platforms" that are just rooms with a random length whose height it always 2. The top tile of each "room" or "platform" is turned into an area the player can walk on. Each room is recorded in a list, and all rooms are linked using the same link function as the first dungeon generation algorithm uses. After that, some interesting features are added. First, a few random blocks that are filled and surrounded by walkable area are placed. Then it decides if any edges of the map should be walled off with an area the player can walk on. If it decides any edges should be present, it draws those edges onto the map.
That's about it. Originally I planned something far more complex, but never had time. Though, I may go back and implement more stuff.
