rhex

Introduction

Simple roguelike prototype written in Rust.

You can try it out by pointing your ssh client to: rhex [at] rhex.dpc.pw (password is obvious). Note: Make sure your terminal supports 256 colors and exports TERM=xterm-256color!

It's intendent to exercise my Rust knowledge and let me play with certain mechanisms that I'd like to see in roguelike game:

• hexagonal map
• tactical positioning (strafing, face-direction)

Previous iteration of this idea was/is: Rustyhex . This two project might merge into whole at some point.

This project is based on more general and useful: hex2d-rs - Hexagonal grid map utillity library.

Overview

Building

git clone https://github.com/dpc/rhex.git
cd rhex
cargo build

Status and goals

ATM. the game is just a working prototype. There's not much of gameplay yet.

Some core features that it already implements: simple AI, LoS, lighting, random map generation, areas, autoexplore command.

Core features that I'd like to add soon:

• sound (actions make noise that propagates)
• combat
• working stats
• stairs
• items/inventory
