Spell Effect Reflections

I just added reflections to URLP's spell effects as inspired by Brogue. I didn't use cell background colors to do this, though, as they still look ugly unless they are used correctly (imho), which is not happening in URLP. Instead, I lerp'd the foreground colors with the spell effect color. It's quite simple really but adds again a nice touch to the game.

Hard-Coded Creatures, Items, and Maps

After the failed 7DRL attempt, I returned to URLP with great enthusiasm. As I pointed it out in this post, I would need to do something about the game's data files in the future, as plain text files are way too easily edited. I chose hard-coding.

Of URLP and the 7DRL Challenge

I finally managed to figure out the ending of URLP, and now I can get back to writing code again. However, I've decided to postpone that to after this year's 7DRL challenge (5th to 13th of March), in which I'm going to participate.

This Is What I Want

This is what I want URLP to be...

Fear Working

Well, I didn't know it wasn't working until I decided to test it.

Progress Update

I guess it is time for a small progress update...

Darkvision

Inspired by Nihilanth's post about vision modes, and also givin' me tiny share to the Annual Roguelike Release Party, I took a break from designin' quests and implemented darkvision to URLP.

Player Classes Done

Today, I finished the ranger class, although I had to skip a bunch of abilities again - mostly traps and stuff that involves ranger's animal companion - as traps and creatures are not yet far enough in development.

Many Shot Finally Working

I just completed coding ranger's Many Shot ability. I started on it last Friday, then spent the whole weekend refactoring half of the (spell) targeting system, so that Many Shot's targeting wouldn't differ from the rest. After targeting worked (quite awesome btw), I still had to make Many Shot actually shoot those 2+ arrows at the same time, animation included.

The Untitled Roguelike Project

In short, the Untitled Roguelike Project (URLP) is a closed source roguelike - or maybe more accurately, an Adomlike - being developed in C++ and under libtcod aka "The Doryen Library".
