... and another one.
The random name generator, in addition to being cool in and out of itself, should fix the weird engine problem some players reported, of not being able to enter the name when prompted.

The ASCII/tiles thing depends on the engine and the level size (it's hard to make big levels with tiles while keeping them readable)

Thanks for the link to the spell reformation (sounds similar to the streamlining I planned to do).

Player's Plaza / Re: Features you love and features you hate to have in Roguelike games.
« on: September 15, 2013, 09:08:35 AM »
Features I love in Roguelikes:
* Consistent setting
* Moderate difficulty (not IVAN-end of scale and not kiddies' game end either)
* Survival
* Crafting
* Permadeath
* Interface improvements (character saving/quickstart, tooltips)
Features I hate
* Lack of information
* Cute graphics
* Hard-to-dismiss popups (hello, Incursion's "you are empty-handed" message)

Programming / Re: Maze algorithm in python libtcod rl
« on: September 14, 2013, 05:39:40 PM »
Yeah, I figured that out, but I don't know how to scan all the tiles and return the nearest one (the room tag bit is easy).

I'm poking around level generation too (the code is in Lua) and I have no idea how to get the closest room for the tunneling function.

« on: September 12, 2013, 06:36:43 AM »I downloaded the latest version, and starting it starts up some game called Tales of Something of other. I see that vote is an addon, but opening the addon menu and clicking on it does nothing. This is confusing. Can someone explain this to me?
This is a standalone version. You only need to click New Game.
The startup screen is the default one simply because I can't draw worth sh*t and a friend hasn't made us a new one yet.

Slowly introducing radicals are a good idea.
I still suggest making the player character really different from others and colored differently.
