An open source remake/remaster initially of the classic CRPG Wizardry, Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord, then hopefully of the Sequels II (The Diamond Knight), III (Legacy of Llylgamyn), and V (Heart of the Maelstrom). Currently under heavy development with a release hopefully later in 2024.
Written using SFML, TGUI, and C++.

I've almost finished the Compendium (Museum/Bestiary/Spellbook), and I'm also making progress on Items, Inventory, and Item-Handling.
Initially I am planning to remake Wizardry 1, then adding 2 and 3, and then subsequently providing infinite procedurally-generated content like that of Diablo for example. In the meantime, check out Snarfu's bugfix and recompilation of the original Wizardry for Apple II at https://github.com/snafaru.
I'm currently developing solely on Linux (Ubuntu 22) so compilation instructions are currently Linux-specific. Windows instructions and releases will of course be supported at a later date.
Full compliation instructions for Linux are in the doc/COMPILE text file, but in brief both CMake (via VSCode CMake Tools) and Code::Blocks are supported once the various support libraries are installed. C++20 compiler support is required (I'm currently using GCC 11.3).
All code is released under the GPL - see the doc/LICENSE text file for full details.
All comments and criticism and help welcome. You can find me as Typhon on the C++ Help, SFML, and DungeonCrawlers.org Discord Servers, or my email address is on the Splash Screen of the Game.
