There's only 2 files which need to be in the same folder as the BAS program -- Sprites.png and courbd.ttf (and the font file is only needed if you're not a Windows user as QB64 will find it automatically for you with windows).
You might want to check to see if the OUTPUT EXE TO SOURCE FOLDER option is checked in the IDE for you, or not, as it can make a difference if you're compiling from the "Rogue Like" folder which the zip file extracted everything into.
It turns out I didn't have the "courbd.ttf" and "Sprites.png" files,
and the "OUTPUT EXE TO SOURCE FOLDER" option was not selected.
I changed the option and downloaded 'Rogue Like.7z"
(instead of using the code from the forum post)
and it works like a charm. Thank you!
This is a very neat implementation of the game so far -
thanks for sharing it.
PS Are there any instructions?
Here's what I determined from reading the code:
up move north
down move south
left move west
right move east
space skip turn
< climb ladder
+ turn lantern up
= turn lantern up
- turn lantern down
_ turn lantern down
SHIFT+up increase scale
SHIFT+down decrease scale
SHIFT+left decrease font size
SHIFT+right increase font size
FYI I tried playing it and got to a ladder, and when I pressed "<" the game seemed to lock up
(I waited about a minute and nothing happened so I killed it.)
PPS Some suggestions for future versions
- pressing "?" shows help
- keys for diagonal movement (I can do that myself, but just saying)
- burn lamp fuel faster/slower if you turn the lamp up/down
- line-of-sight algorithm (so player can't see through walls)
- missile weapons (bow & arrow, sling, etc.) for ranged combat
- a level editor (for the option to play user-created dungeons instead of randomly created ones)
- hidden passageways
PPS As a guide for anyone who wants to try adding features, here are the commands listed in the the original Rogue manual on myabandonware.com
