Programming / PrincessRL & libtcod-1.3.2

« on: April 01, 2013, 09:56:41 PM »

When trying to get flatlineRL to work on Linux, I noticed that my PrincessRL linux binary no longer seems to work.

http://flend.net/files/princessrl-linux-v104.zip

It doesn't seem to like the libtcod.so , for some reason I've yet to figure out.

It's C# built against libtcod 1.3.2 with libtcodWrapper (C#). This works with mono on Linux.

I'm thinking if I recompile libtcod 1.3.2 on a modern Linux, this might help.

Unfortunately, I no longer have libtcod 1.3.2.

So, 2 questions:

1) Does anyone have a copy of libtcod 1.3.2? I will post other there too (user name seems to have expired).

2) Any Linux people interested in trying out the PrincessRL binary and telling me their experiences? It will require various mono libraries.

Cheers,

flend

Traditional Roguelikes (Turn Based) / Dungeon Ascendance

« on: August 15, 2012, 08:04:00 PM »

Hiya all.

My game Dungeon Ascendance is out on Android and I recently updated it with sound and music (very un-roguelike!). It's a roguelike-like puzzle rpg that's been compared in reviews to Tower of the Sorcerer and Desktop Dungeons. However, I hope I bring enough new mechanics to the mix to keep things fresh.

The free version is at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.seramygames.dungeonascendancefree&hl=en and there's $2.99 upgrade which gives you access to the full range of classes and dungeons.

It's a bit of a depature from DDRogue and PrincessRL and it's certainly been a different challenge taking stuff to release polish rather than having the 7-day cut off.

Incidentally, I use a couple of public domain tilesets. Roguelike vets will recognise the Crawl tiles, which were CC 0ed by a guy called donblas (http://code.google.com/p/crawl-tiles/). I've got a lot of flak for this since it's not widely known that these are CC 0

I also use some of the David Gervais tiles (http://pousse.rapiere.free.fr/tome/). These are CC BY.

Much as I love ASCII, it's great that there are these tilesets out there.
