So way before this contest started, I started the journey towards making a lan-able, real-time rogue-like-like. In its current state it encompasses lua scripting (currently for item effects, in the file package res/lua/effects.lua), yaml markup (for all monster stats/level generation stats, in the .yaml files inside the 'res' folder), and other sophisticated stuffs such as random room generation permissive field of view (type of 'fog of war'), enemy collision avoidance (co-operative pathfinding).

ALSO I GOT MULTIPLAYER WORKING. Work in progress. No chat yet. Limited to 2 people multiplayer. Change res/settings.yaml if you want to try playing online. Need a host/client that can connect.

Heres the demo:

Items:

shift - pickup any items on tile (some items autopickup)

1-9 use inventory slots, or click on item

Note: Weapons override older weapons, you lose the old weapon

Spells & melee:

space - switch between spells

m - switch to melee

You can use mouse oriented controls:

WASD - movement

mouse wheel - up & down stairs

mouse left click - shoot current spell / do melee

mouse right click - blink (50 MP, within field of view)

Or keyboard oriented controls:

arrow keys - movement

< and > - up & down stairs

j - shoot current spell at current target

k - switch target

But unfortunately blink still requires the mouse as above
