Bewof is a simple roguelike which fits in one kilobyte (1024 bytes) of C source code This project was inspired by ZigClimb
Bewof should compile an any Unix based system (tested an MacOS) Bewof only requires ncurses to build, so make sure you have it installed
$git clone https://github.com/dragonsploder/Bewof.git
$cd Bewof
$gcc -w -lncurses -obewof bewof.c
$./bewof
Note it is also possible to compile on windows (tested with mingw) with pdcurses. For this to work you must also link pdcurses in the code:
#include <pdcurses.h> // Or whatever header file you got for pdcurses
In Bewof, you are the at sign (@). The base game of Bewof uses the wasd keys to move, Q to quit, and any other key to wait You have 20 health and the goal of the game is to clear the screen of monsters before your health hits 0 The four directions each do something different when you attempt to walk on a monster tile
- W will attack a monster for 1 health
.b. .a.
.@. - w - > .@.
... ...
- A will move a monster up two tiles and over one
... .f.
... - a - > ...
f@. .@.
- S will push a monster down one tile
.@. .@.
.a. - s - > ...
... .a.
- D will swap you with a monster
... ...
c@. - d - > @c.
... ...
If a monster is next two you at the end of your turn, it will attack you for one health
Tips:
- There is no randomness in the base game, so plan ahead
- S and A can send monsters on top of each other, killing them in one quick blow
- Only 'a' can be killed without harming yourself
If you grow tired of playing the base game, you can change your class
- Invoking Bewof with a 'T' will alow you to teleport once every twenty turns. To do so, press the '^' key
- Invoking Bewof with a 'W' will alow will give you a 2d3 weapon, giving your game a little more chance
- Invoking Bewof with a 'H' will cause monsters more then 5 tiles away from you to not notice your presence
This can create some interesting variations: To play as a Wizard:
$./bewof T
To play as a Rogue:
$./bewof H
To play as a Paladin
$./bewof T W
Etc.
