Good coffeebreak rls?

[idontexist]

I've only won a couple rl's myself and those were spambands (not saying anything about them just that they are spammy). The reason that i play roguelikes is because they are difficult.

on a side note i am learning c++ for unrelated reasons and the roguelike source codes that i have looked at are WAY over my head so now i MUST make one even though im talking about distant future. (going to the jungle soon for aboot a month no computers  )

Just wondering if you have looked at sewerjacks code, and if so what did you think? I know I dont comment my code though.

Have fun in the jungle. I am sure you will get a lot of inpiration from it.

Actually when i was sick for 2 days with diahrea i wrote out the plot for the rl i want to make. No telling yet cuz i dont want to be a talkie..

Not yet as i have been busy with a million things but i plan on it for sure. Do you know of any roguelikes with easy to understand clearly commented code?

From that inspiration I dont really want to know...

Ha, I am sure it does not exist.  No c++ ones anyway, maybe JADE? (java).  IVAN is c++ but I doubt there will be comments.  I have never looked at another rls code.

[Slash]

How can we waste precious code KBs with such a useless thing as comments!

Now there is a clearly commented c++ coffeebreak roguelike. MINE!!

[JoshuaSmyth]

Now a coffee break rogue is an interesting idea for a project to tackle.

I don't think mine qualifys because it takes 2-3 hours to complete.

But maybe designing a rougelike with a 30 minute cap could be interesting. It could even be called "Escape the dungeon in 30 minutes, even though this is a turn based game" - It could be like speed chess.

Got a new one: Gruesome.

Simple, challenging, and fun.

Spelunky gets my vote today, although not a roguelike at all, it is heavily inspired by one and plays like a real-time platform roguelike, with complex key-sets and all. 
I really love the initial menu system to.

Just wanted to say, that my 7DRL chickhack is pretty short so you may like to try it.  I deliberately made it short enough that, I would not have to write any save/load game code!

[Vanguard]

Is there any chance of chickhack getting numeric keypad support or anything like that?  The k h u whatever setup is really unintuitive for me.

Speaking of which, that does seem pretty common, what type of computer or keyboard is that set for?

[ido]

That layout called vi keys and is quite common among roguelikes.

My Escape From Lab 42 plays in 30 minutes or less. More of a lunch break game I guess.

[purpleflayer]

There is no numberpad on a C64 keyboard, silly billy!   But I will support it in "proper" roguelikes I make.

[Vanguard]

I see.  It makes a little bit more sense when I see it laid out that way.

Are there many people who prefer vi keys over the numeric keypad?

I'm actually working on a project of my own, and although it will not be ready for some time, if people prefer that over the numeric keypad I could add support for it.
