4DRL Challenge October 2010

[ido]

Hi,
on the roguelike-dev chat room (#rgrd @ quakenet), we have spontaneously decided on a new challenge - the October 2010 4DRL Challenge!

To join in you only need to register yourself at http://typewith.me/kbrJYIJHqT.

The challenge takes place on 4 consecutive days of your choice between 22/10/10 (Friday)  to 27/10/10 (Wednesday) - that's in a bit more than 1 week from now.

-Ido.

EDIT: changed the doc to state explicitly that you are allowed to use existing engines, libs, code, graphics, sounds - you just need to mention what you used afterwards.

this might be a stupid question, but does the game need to be ASCII

No it doesn't.

There is no strict definition for what a roguelike is, but there are at least 2 pretty good attempts to define the term that I know of:

• http://roguebasin.roguelikedevelopment.org/index.php?title=Berlin_Interpretation
• http://www.roguetemple.com/roguelike-definition/

Games published by our own members! Check 'em out!

In that case, looking forward to it.
