digitalmars.D.announce - 2DRPG - Small console game

For the past couple of months me and my classmate have been 
working on a small console game, which we will compete with in a 
game creation competition arranged by my school. Deadline was 
today (12 May, 2016), and I am glad to announce the first 
playable, completable version of 2DRPG is now available!

Github repo at https://github.com/vladdeSV/2drpg

'Tile-based exploration game, in which you take place as someone. 
Craft items to help your way, or complete quests to satisfy the 
inhabitants of this world.' Programmed by me (vladde) and 
designed by classmate Fredrik, this game features up to half an 
hour gameplay, with humorous and strange vibes.

I have had lots of fun during the development of 2DRPG. There 
have been many difficulties, but I have learned much from making 
this game. Sadly this game is Windows only, meaning POSIX users 
cannot play it. This is due to technical limitations in my own 
console engine, scone (https://github.com/vladdeSV/scone), which 
cannot read input on POSIX terminals.

If anyone would like to test the game, it would be awesome. Any 
sort of feedback is always appreciated!

Greetings,
vladde

I managed to build and run it under wine/wineconsole and make it 
through one playthrough. The only issue is that all the 
non-printable characters showed up as euro signs, I guess I may 
need to play with the font selection some more for that.

Games with time limits are not my cup of tea - other than that, 
it was nice, well done.

Have you looked at Adam Ruppe's terminal.d?

	https://github.com/adamdruppe/arsd/blob/master/terminal.d

It provides uniform access to Posix and Windows consoles, and can handle
rudimentary colors, tile-based screen access, as well as keystroke /
mouse events. I've been using it in my own console projects, and it
works quite well.
