Testing out an idea of a rogue like controlled with console-like commands
Any feedback appreciated – send to @bupping
right now just move and attack are implemented
commands:
- list all commands: help
- turn map on and off: map
- move and attack: right, left, up, down
- abbreviated: r, l, u, d
- fire spell: fire(direction)
- multi-fire spell fire(ring)
You can chain commands together using spaces.
Example: r l r u
this will execute right, left, right and up, once per player turn
You can multiple commands using digits (1-9) before commands:
Example: 4r 2u
this will execute right, right, right, right, up, up over 6 turns.
Updates:
