Awesome....because roguelikes are awesome.

The demo app should be runnable with maven.  It only has the color and offscreen console blit demo at the moment, since JCOD at this point lacks the functionality for most of the other demos.

mvn compile exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=net.fishbulb.jcod.demo.DemoDesktop

If you create an IDE project, you'll need to install the Lombok plugin for your IDE (http://projectlombok.org).  After that, you can import the maven pom and run that class too, though you might have to run a maven build once first. 

I now have the line demo running, which forced me to fix some broken blend modes.  Smoking out bugs is why I'm porting those demos after all.  Though I probably should skip it and go back to it last, I'm just going through the TCOD demos in order, and the next one is noise, and that's where I have a question:

I'm not keen on porting TCOD's C implementation of noise to java, even though it seems fairly decent, so I'm looking for an open source pure java implementation of a variety of noise functions (perlin, simplex, fbm, that sort of thing).  Low memory footprint would be a bonus since it'll eventually have to run on android too.  Anyone have suggestions?

Follow up: probably just as interesting is wang tiles. (food for thought)

Perhaps someone should create one.

I now support TCOD's image tools (using gdx Pixmap) including scaled and rotated blits.  Alpha is used instead of key colors for normal blits; subpixel blits don't do alpha because they're too much of a hack.  I'm not sure how useful it all is, given how easy it is to draw a real image anywhere, but it made the noise demo a lot smoother looking anyway.

I started working on FOV support, then decided I really hated TCOD's implementations, so I'm adapting the algorithms from the awesome SquidLib instead.  Stuff like LOS and FOVare making a pretty extreme departure from TCOD as it is, so I suspect I'll be ditching TCOD API compatibility everywhere else sooner rather than later.  

Still TODO: Finish FOV and LOS, then start on pathfinding and BSP.  At that point I'm pretty much feature-complete as TCOD functionality goes.

What, too many TLAs?  Eat your alphabet soup, it's good for you
