Justin Galardo: Project #4 - Rogue

[Professor Gallardo]

Rogue Recreation

I would like to recreate the original game that started the Rogue-Like genre,Rogue. Shown HERE.

I want to recreate the game with some basic shapes with textures since the original was ascii text art. This is so I can make the game without having to worry about gathering a ton of assets and can focus on mechanics.

Assets/Systems Needed:

• I will be keeping the camera angle/style of Top-Down
• Build a procedural dungeon system or randomized hand crafted floorplan system.
• Name/Level/Gold/Health/Strength/Weapon Power/Experience systems
• Basic Items
• Made possibly with only C# (no Unity/Unreal)
  • Weapon power that increases when a new weapon is picked up.
  • potions
  • etc.
• Basic enemy AI that moves towards players when they are in the same room.
• Multiple dungeon floors when getting to exit.
• I am going to keep it simple and as close to the original as I can (I may use the IBM PC version though as reference, so I can add color) -> IBM_Version.PNG (Video)
• Unicode reference for later (LINK)
• Monster List for later (https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Rogue/Monsters)
• Item List (https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Rogue/Items)

Wow, an ASCII game. Interesting. Approved.

Project Attached At Bottom

I ended up doing this in Visual Studio instead of Unity or Unreal to better emulate the original.
Took a lot longer than I thought it would to do what I did on this project, even though it was an ASCII game. (Had to push it back twice to project #4)

I sadly missed out on a bit of functionality (Potions, good number of Scrolls, Wands, Staffs, Rings, FastPlay Mode, etc) due to the sheer size of the game, but I got as much of the functionality I could.

Had to do a lot of research to get this to work properly, so I hope it works well!

Helpful Sites:

• Monster List (https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Rogue/Monsters)
• Item List (https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Rogue/Items)
• Old Manual (https://britzl.github.io/roguearchiv...ual/manual.htm)

NOTE: Build works perfectly on my computer, but I had Alex test it out and the ASCII art was a bit messed up for her for some reason...So I have added some extra examples of it working.
