Sketchpad for some Roguelike game

kier-and-jacobs-game.txt

ASCII grid based (but not necessarily restricted to the command-line)

Steampunk/industrial theme

Base library: SDL (https://github.com/banthar/Go-SDL)

Available colours:
    These are the 16 standard colours available to the command line (termbox, ANSI escapes etc).
    "Proper" (but more complex) libraries like SDL can use more colours but we want to restrict it
    to these to keep it simple and retro.
    
    Black
    Dark red
    Dark green
    Brown
    Dark blue
    Purple
    Turquoise
    Light gray
    Dark gray
    Light red
    Light green
    Yellow
    Light blue
    Pink
    Cyan
    White
    
    See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#Colors for more.
    FYI if we use a platform with RGB colours instead (e.g. SDL) I will use the "xterm" RGB values.

Levels consist of randomly generated rooms - one room is shown at a time
Entities in the levels are single ASCII characters. They can include:
    * Characters/players - generally symbols, light colours only if important
    * Items/treasure/drops - generally lowercase letters, light colours
    * Enemies/bosses - generally uppercase letters, non-light colours

@ - character
    light green & flashing: player
    other colours: other characters (but try to stick to darker colours like blue, purple, green to
        keep the focus on the player)

$ - random amount of money
    brown (copper): 1 - 3
    white (silver): 1 - 5
    light yellow (gold): 1 - 10

k - key
    light red, light yellow, light green, light blue: open various doors in the level

(listed from weaker to stronger:)
R - rat
    yellow: neutral
    red: hostile
    green: friendly
    
    Most enemies start out neutral, turn hostile when they see the player and return to neutral when they lose
    sight of the player.

It's the code for my original Roguelike game that I started writing a couple of days ago - don't worry too much about the specifics, but you can have a look at the level generation code if you want (I'll probably reuse the method of generating the doorways of new rooms based on the existing doorways, ensuring that we do not break the laws of physics)
