First-Roguelike

Hi, welcome to this repo for my roguelike. I've been working with the rogue basin tutorial (http://www.roguebasin.com/index.php?title=Complete_Roguelike_Tutorial,_using_python%2Blibtcod ) which is based on Python2. I've been manually teaching myself differences as I write it in Python3. This is my first major coding project in over 15 years, and I'm using it to teach myself what's even anything. I have no idea if this is how readme's are used on github, I barely understand git or github, and the main goals here are to produce a "playable roguelike that's also maybe fun" and "to learn a lot." I recently added a new goal: to survive the tedium of balancing and producing the content variety needed for a (even a short) game.

BUG LOG

• Fireball possibly not hitting multiple burnable targets.

TODO: Figure out if it's even true

• If an elemental kills another with its death explosion, it will die twice, once with no name.

TODO: Ignore.

RECENTLY FIXED BUGS

• Bolt Scrolls Don't Work

RESOLVE: Bolt scrolls fixed. on_line() fixed, targets_on_line() added. TODO: Continue to observe to ensure it always works, and there are no failure cases. Only failure case would be player on line and no monster (As far as I can tell)

V0.2 Patch Notes

• Inventory Size was hardcoded. Now MAX_MENU_SIZE constant in use.
• Poison damage changed from max(new, old) to additive.
• Poison damage now sets to 0 on clearing (see previous note for reason).
• Error message added for unequipping an item that isn't equipped.
• Controls changed to keypad only.
• Compile_Monsters and Compile_Items changed to make_map to reduce calls and optimize performance.
• Current_Traps iterates properly. (I think)
• Messages for going up floors clarified - one for new floor, one for old floor.
• Fixed on_line(), renamed line() returns a list of xy coordinates on a line in form of tuples
• Added targets_on_line() returns a list of objects. Utilizes line()
• RESOLVED BUG: on_line() doesn't work
• Elemental Death iterated through. Introduced infinite loop bug. Fixed infinite loop bug. Elemental death mecahnics work.
• Added new bug: Elementals killing each other on death causes a weird interaction.
• Minor enemy balancing occured.

TODO

• More varied AI

• More monsters

• More items

• More types of things!

• Loading old saves (instead of just the active one)

  Method: Perhaps something like a list of all "alive" players, that can be iterated to make a menu?

    How do we save the array and load it safely?
  

  Alternative:

    Can we crawl folders in the save folder and use their names, excluding Morgue?
  

COMPLETED TASKS:

• Dungeon Generator - Rectangle rooms and straight hallways
• Field of View
• Fog of War
• General graphics, rendering, etc.
• Monster spawning
• Combat
• GUI
• Inventory and Items
• Win condition!
• Traps
• Pit traps random location
• Saving and Loading of floors

MAJOR LEARNING POINTS:

• Integer division in Python 3 - / vs //
• Composition versus Inheritance
• Brittle data structures / data structure introduction
• OS commands
