Hey all! Decided to upload a copy of the demo for an old roguelike I was working on. Navigation is via the numpad. Anyone think they can figure out the secret of the rooms and corridors? :P

@Angle I like the shadowcasting in this. is there stuff I can interact with?
@aeonofdiscord not yet. I hadn't gotten there yet before I got distracted by other stuff. :/
Did you figure out whats up with the rooms and corridors yet though? I was proud of that bit, way back in the day. XD
@Angle is it a toroidal pac-man universe?
@aeonofdiscord Sorta. It has non Euclidean geometry - the corridors can connect any rooms, or even connect a room to itself. XD
@aeonofdiscord Each room or corridor is it's own LocalArea, with its own coordinate system. They keep track of the areas adjacent, and how they're adjacent, so you can step from one to the other.
@Angle nice nice
I'd definitely be interested in a roguelike where that was the gimmick, maybe in some kinda astral plane or dream dimension
@aeonofdiscord I had all sorts of ideas in mind for it, back when I made it. But then I gave up and never took it anywhere. :/
@Angle haha, I definitely don't have 32768 projects like that rotting across multiple computers' worth of hard drives
@aeonofdiscord Mmm, definitely not. ;)
@Angle that's cool, does it use some kind of unusual coordinate system or is it done with portals?
