I'm a fulltime roguelike programmer; I'm going to college for writing.

We've gotten a good five people, so there's actually someone to talk to now. Just thought I'd mention.

Wohoo! It got posted as news!
I idle a lot in the channel, so it might be a bit boring at first. Hopefully eventually we'll get a few other idlers aside from myself.

Programming / Re: Messing with dungeon generation

I have an example pic to show (a mask map of level). It has three types of rooms: irregular rooms which some of them overlap with each other creating bigger areas, and "strict" rectangular rooms plus small rooms which attach themselves directly to other rooms and corridors. There are no corridors yet, because the old routine can't handle connections between different types of rooms...That looks really good.

You can connect using a variety of IRC programs. The popular, like mIRC, or my favorite irssi.
The server is irc.quakenet.org port 6667, room #rgrd.
Feel free to stop by to talk about anything. You don't have to talk about Roguelikes or anything else. It's a general channel for the community.

Programming / Re: Worst bug you had?
« on: October 14, 2007, 04:17:34 PM »
The worst bugs I've had have been with dangling pointers invalidating other parts of my code. These are a nightmare because they wreck some completely unrelated piece of code.

Other Announcements / Kharne returns.
« on: October 08, 2007, 03:01:20 AM »
Recently it was posted to a roguelike newsgroup that Kharne is returning. I'm rather happy, I used to play Kharne before it was even called Kharne. I forget what it used to be called. Anyway, I think it's awesome that this roguelike is back so I thought I'd post a topic about it. Any old players hanging around?

Awesome site! I love it. Also the new DrashRL tileset is AWESOME. I might steal some old Ultima tiles for some of my games. Particularly the Ultima 4 tiles since Ultima 4 is freeware.
