4DRL Challenge October 2010

Contests
#1

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.

#2

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

#3

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:

#4

In that case, looking forward to it.
