It can on the other hand Drop! I enjoyed tooling around with it... I only
found one decent armor (Quilted 10) and it broke a few rooms before the
butcher.

Perhaps. If I'd accidentally swallowed poison and needed to induce

A very incomplete point of view. In the possibilities FreePascal is not much
behind C++ -- it is ported to almost all GNU C++ supported platforms, has
dedicated libraries for many, and Lazarus (it's Delphi-like add-on) compiles
under both Windows and Linux (or maybe also others). I also made a few
graphics projects (SDL/OpenGL) and they didn't seem less efficient then
C++...

Well, DiabloRL is a proof that Diablo is a roguelike :-D. I used the *exact*
same mechanics for DiabloRL that were used in Diablo (wonder if somebody
noticed that).

This turned me off too :-(. I still promise myself I will seriously go into
GH someday. Ease of UI was always a high priority for me -- as you may have
noticed DoomRL's UI is also quite straightforward.

This was needed. But bloating the UI with additional commands for open/close
seemed pointless.

It does help when you open a room and suddenly see more monsters than you
can handle.

Ughhh, this is a realy fatal bug :-(. I'm sorry :-(. But as a good info --

Which isn't bad. It's Diablo after all.

They didn't. But if I would ever continue working on it, I have an idea to
add a few additional quests that would allow such a thing ;-).

Uh, I need to fix that invisible monster bug :-(.

If I decide to continue the game I would love to 🙂. Unfortunately as for
now, nobody asked me (no e-mail, no post) for continuing it, so I'll rather
focus on GenRogue, DoomRL and Starless.

Those strings are magic -- they are used to produce LineInfo backtrace
information in case of a crash. And for me it's the difference between
fixing a bug right after it's reported (when the Trace is included) and not
fixing it at all. So as long as beta versions will come out they will always
be bloated. A debug-info-stripped exe is about 400KB.

I had that planned 🙂. But actually there is not much space on the status
bar :-/ -- it's used for armor/shield/weapon damage and level-up indicators.

I meant the line between the status bar and the playing field... the one
that consists of dashes all the way through. A few quickslots could be
built into this, I think, like;
----------[!]--[!]--[ ]--[%]-----------
with colours of potions indicating what they are. Scrolls are more
difficult to identify in a one-symbol slot though, so maybe restrict it
to potions.

I don't think I'm the first to think it. I may be the first to say it,
though.

It would need to have it explained in the manual, which would destroy the
clearness of the UI. But on the other hand, this would be an additional
feature that wouldn't provide any game-benefit but play-benefit so it would
probably be ok.

We'll see :-D. Up to date, DiabloRL was downloaded 138 times, which is much
less then DoomRL's almost 1000 (my ISP is going to kill me any day now for
this bandwith overflow -- I never thought it would get this far ;-D).

Perhaps, I did it in Uni and used Borland Turbo Pascal for quite a while
back in those heady days!

Respect to all the FreePascal peeps - love to your mamas...

There should be a Pascal that is dot Net compatible, the idea being you
use your preferred language to create the same compatible intermediate
code... any plans to have an option to compile FreePascal into dot Net
intermediate code?

Why? .NET is a Microsoft thing, and hence inherently evil. Indeed, it's
their latest attempt to take over the world is it not? Or at least the
internet. All your personal information are belong to us, and so forth.

There is a plan to do that, cause Delphi 9 compiles to DotNET. Some crazy FP
guy is also trying to make a JavaVM output all by himself ;-)

Agreed that MS is evil.

In this case the .NET framework being able to support each persons
preferred language (assuming the language compiler makers make a .NET
version or option) is relevant.

BTW: IMO PPL that snip short posts are also evil forum kiddies

Yes, then it can have a complete arbitrary and subjective meaning that
has nothing to do with actual similarity.

It's a wonderful shooter (if you like that sort of thing) with a few
ideas borrowed from dungeon crawls, including Angband influence, but
little in common with Rogue.

>When I played, the influences always have been apparent. For me it was a
>"roguelike" in my rather generous interpretation of that word

Sure, it is *influenced* by the roguelike genre. A computer basketball
game is even more strongly influenced by basketball, but that doesn't
make it a sport. Zangband's magic system was based on that in Master
of Magic, which in turn borrowed from Magic: The Gathering, but that
doesn't make Zangband a CCG.

Nobody's denying that Diablo was influenced by roguelikes, but that
doesn't make it one. Or is DoomRL an FPS?

Hey Kornel,

I decided to try it after all of the good feedback...

That is very, very, kewl. I can't wait to battle diablo down in the pits of

Starless is not a roguelike. It will be a game in the tradition of Frontier
with a huge amount of roguelike concepts in it (permadeath, randomness,
random quests, etc...). Well "it will"... Or will not.

That would be more informative if I knew what Frontier was and that
isn't a very Google-friendly name. Got a good URL I can check to see
what you're talking about?
