Something in the ways of a roguelike

A simple roguelike written in C using SDL2.

Idea

Randomly generated maps/rooms. Leveling system, permadeath, multiple classes. Casual and fun for 10-20 minutes during a break from regular work/play.

I wanted to practice C and I'm comfortable using SDL2. The assets are graciously taken from the web. More info in the README in the assets folder.

Download

This game is available in the steam store (release Okt 2018). If you enjoy the game and want a properly installed, signed copy of the game with achievements and global highscores you are most welcome to purchase it there. If you feel like getting a free copy you can download and compile from here.

Issues

I'd prefer if issues could be handled here on github. Either check the list if your particular problem is reported otherwise create a new issue. Support questions can be submitted as issues as well, I haven't figured out how I want to work with support yet since I haven't received any questions.

License

BreakHack is released under two different licenses.

• The source code is released under GPLv3
• The Steam release is released under the Steam subscriber agreement

Compile

Apart from basic compile tools (GCC/Clang, Make) you'll also need to install lua, sdl2, sdl2-image, sdl2-ttf, sdl2-mixer (If on a debian based dist you need to install the dev packages). Optionally you can also install cppcheck and physfs

Once that is done run the following:

mkdir _build
cd _build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug .. # Build type flag is optional
make

Contribute

Have an idea and able to implement it? Fork and send me a pull request and I'll check it out. If I like it I will add it. If it's a big thing I'll add your name to the credits list (once I add it in game).
