Announcing ShelobRogue!

You play Sam Gamgee trying to save Frodo from Shelob's clutches.
Included is one action-packed randomly-generated level of play, one
weapon, one item, and some lembas. Watch out for the evil spider minions
and Gollum lurking in the shadows!

It is a minimalistic and quickly-coded roguelike written for a 7DRL
competition in two days. It might be interesting for some new D
programmers to have a working game source.

Uses PDCurses, ported and compiled by Joey Peters (squirrel nidhogg.com)
with a few additional function definitions included in the packaged
modified curses.d.

(Currently) Windows-only, compiles with DMD 0.120 out-of-the-box with
the command "dmd shlbrg.d".

Enjoy! Don't let the spiders bite.

That's a pretty fun game. What amazes me is that someone actually used my 
first ported lib! And I thought those vital functions you added were macros 
judging from the original headers. But oh well, seems they're not.

P.S. The game is too hard for me:)

The Windows default cmd.exe window size is apparently one smaller than I
thought. Thus, when double-clicking on the ShelobRogue executable to run
it, the message window doesn't show up since it's over the boundary. I
didn't notice this during testing, as I typically use an about 50-row
window.

This build has that corrected by simply reducing the map window height
by one, from 18 rows to 17.

Of course, you can change that yourselves by changing the constant
VIEW_SIZE_Y in shlbrg.d, which may be less trouble than redownloading
the .zip file.
