Tags: LambdaRogueIf you're one of those crazy people who likes playing with ASCII characters, this might be the game for you. Mario sends word that his rogue-like aptly titled "LambdaRogue" has reached release version. Here are the details:
LambdaRogue's feature set, esp. the number of different monsters and items, is rather small compared to many other roguelike games. However, all features are chosen in a "less is more" manner by me with clear concepts in mind.
Features of LambdaRogue 0.3.1 [I assume there's a bit more in the new 1.0 release version]
You can see some screenshots and get more details from the game's website: http://lambdarogue.net/
Thanks Mario!
