0verknigh7

Small Roguelike c++ game that I found on reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/roguelikedev/comments/kxannr/quest_for_the_orb_a_minimal_roguelike_in_317/ , hats off to @aotdev who shared the game and I forked it here

Features:

• Turn-based
• Permadeath
• Infinite procedurally generated dungeon
• Victory condition: retrieve the orb! Legend says it lies somewhere between levels 16-25
• Explore! Walking to a wall or pressing random keys skips a turn
• Collect treasure: just walk over it
• Avoid the rotating disc-blades: They move always towards a random direction except the one they came from, and they bounce off dead-ends
• Destroy neighbouring walls and disc-blades with dynamite. But be careful, you have only 3!
• Find the stairs to the next level, hoping to find the orb there
• You can walk off the edge of the map and come out the other side, if there is a floor there
• Input configuration: map your own keys. Don't use arrow keys on repl.it though, as they misbehave.
• Increasing difficulty: there are more disc-blades deeper into the dungeon
• Welcome screen in glorious ASCII HD
• Victory screen in glorious ASCII HD with derived score from turn count, treasure and dynamites left
• UI showing step count, treasure collected, level and dynamites left

What my fork has added

• Collect per level additional life(s) and shield(s)
• In-game colour
• Fixed a bug when 2 enemies meet each other as they swallow the other one
• Windows OS cmd terminal is not flickering anymore
• Added a .bat script for the Windows users, so they can start the game in cmd terminal
• Removed std globally
• Uses better randomization mechanism for the maps

Compile

make -j8 # to use 8 cores/threads in parallel compile
sudo make install

Now to run the game type 0verknigh7.

Windows users

Tested with Visual Studio Code Editor, but you need to install MingW, once downloaded extract it to C:\MingW, then re-open Visual Studio Code Editor, you might want to install C\C++ extensions if you plan to write C\C++ code with the editor. If you plan to contribute to this project go to File->Preferences->Settings and type to search for cppStandard and set it to c17 to both C++ and C.

I use One Monokai theme for the VScode Editor

In Visual Studio Code Editor, go to Terminal->Configure Tasks...->Create tasks.json from template and copy and paste this into it:

{
  "version": "2.0.0",
  "tasks": [
    {
        "type": "cppbuild",
        "label": "C/C++",
        "command": "C:\\MingW\\bin\\g++.exe",
        "args": [
            "-fdiagnostics-color=always",
            "-std=c++17",
            "-ggdb",
            "-lpthread",
            "-Wall",
            "-Wextra",
            "-O2",
            "-pipe",
            "-pedantic",
            "-Wundef",
            "-Wshadow",
            "-W",
            "-Wwrite-strings",
            "-Wcast-align",
            "-Wstrict-overflow=5",
            "-Wconversion",
            "-Wpointer-arith",
            "-Wformat=2",
            "-Wsign-compare",
            "-Wendif-labels",
            "-Wredundant-decls",
            "-Winit-self",
            "${file}",
            "-o",
            "${fileDirname}/${fileBasenameNoExtension}"
        ],
        "options": {
            "cwd": "C:\\MingW\\bin"
        },
        "problemMatcher": [
            "$gcc"
        ],
        "group": {
            "kind": "build",
            "isDefault": true
        },
        "detail": "compiler: C:\\MingW\\bin\\g++.exe"
    }
]
}

To compile the game press CTRL + SHIFT + B , then from the same folder start the 0verknigh7.bat script.

Optioanlly if you want to play the game from VSCode's console -- wait until it compiles, after that press CTRL + ` and paste this cp -r C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME_GOES_HERE\Desktop\main.exe C:\MingW\bin;cd C:\MingW\bin;.\main.exe
