## Installation/starting instructions
|
|
|
|
Requires python3, tested to work on at least python 3.5.2 in linux
|
|
|
|
Because of the use of NCURSES, it probably won't work on windows (will be fixed later)
|
|
|
|
It works on a mac, but when testing abstract domain sockets didn't work.
|
|
Use the command line argument `-s inet` for both client and server to run this on a mac.
|
|
|
|
Not on pypi yet, but you should be able to install it like this:
|
|
|
|
python -m pip install git+https://github.com/jmdejong/Asciifarm.git
|
|
|
|
Then you can run `hostfarm` to start the server and `asciifarm` to play the
|
|
game!
|
|
|
|
### Playing instructions
|
|
|
|
Controls can be configured.
|
|
These are the default controls:
|
|
|
|
Use the arrow keys or wasd to move around.
|
|
Use 'e' to add an item from the ground into your inventory.
|
|
Use 'q' to drop the top item in your inventory.
|
|
Use 'E' to use/interact with the top item in your inventory.
|
|
Use 'r' interact with something in the same square as you.
|
|
Use 'f' to attack an enemy nearby.
|
|
Use 'F' to attack an enemy in the same square as you.
|
|
Use WASD to attack enemies in adjacent squares.
|
|
Use 't' to open the chat input
|
|
|
|
### Advanced installation instructions

## Vision/ideas
|
|
|
|
> basically farmville where you can visit friends gardens to see stuff. maybe leave an ascii character as a present ~m455
|
|
|
|
> ... makes me wish instead of irc we were hanging out in a central plaza or bazaar of a roguelike, with little @ signs talking to each other, walking into private buildings to send PMs, etc ~d_m
|
|
|
|
|
|
The idea is to make 3 different kind of areas:
|
|
|
|
- private areas, where players can build their own house/farm
|
|
* these areas will be the only one where players can build
|
|
* other players can only enter with permission of the owner
|
|
* maybe some group areas too? (that can be bought with in-game currency)
|
|
- public areas, where players can interact with each other and npcs
|
|
* towns, where players can trade
|
|
* static dungeons, where monsters spawn
|
|
* whatever levels someone feels like making
|
|
* similar to the world of most mmorpgs
|
|
- procedurally generated dungeons, where players can explore and fight for loot
|
|
* like roguelikes
|
|
* if the player dies they can not return to the same dungeon
|
|
* group dungeons would be great too
|
