I did a quick run on the web version. I was able to sneak attack everything on the first two levels, which felt like a bug, but I'm honestly not sure.
replyWhen I found a spear, I kind of expected to be able to throw it, but I didn't find a throw option anywhere. I think that makes the short sword better in every case, but maybe I missed something.
Overall, I love the execution. Quality retro fun with a really nice interface.
This totally is a bug. Was this recently? I thought I fixed this in WASM version.
replyYeah, this was yesterday in the web version. I only did the one run, and only for a couple of levels, so I don't think I can give you any help reproducing it.
replyThe name let-go of your programming language is awesome!
replyThanks! Please check it out and leave me a star if you like it :)
replyMy 15 year old's (who is a roguelike fanatic) first comment was: there's no diagonal movement?
reply"The visuals are interesting.... oh I died."
I don't have a numpad so it did not occur to me to add diagonals :D
replyGood feedback though, I'll add it. Thanks to your 15 year old!
most roguelikes also add (IIRC looking at my phone keyboard and reverse engineering muscle memory) yubn for diagonals.
replydefinitely need this. Enemies can attack you diagonally but you can't attack back
replyThis is awesome!
replyI'm interested in building something similar, any tips besides looking at what you've done and Brogue?
I'd say don't immediately go into making an ECS and don't sweat about perf too much. You can totally do this in any programming language. This is a good talk about roguelike software design in general: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxI3Eu5DPwE
replyTbh the whole channel is a gold mine of inspiration. Also check: https://discord.gg/bgd2GrhR
Little buggy (dying from things not on the screen), but I love the dwarf fortress esque vibes
replyThere was a commit a few minutes ago that fixed the instakills for me
replyThis was caused by a stdlib bug in the language, I bypassed it :D

replyI don't think you have specified that "," is used to pick up stuff in the bar below the log.
