KleinRL is a 14DRL (having failed to be a 7DRL) by Quendus. It was released on the 24th of October 2010 (Pacific time). KleinRL is set on the surface of a Klein bottle, and has maze-like geography instead of rooms. Several of the actors in the game can pick up pieces of the wall and put them down again. The objectives are:
- not getting killed by the 2 relentless pursuers who start with better equipment than the player (in a map that's small even for a roguelike)
- tracking down and defeating an extreme coward
Inventories are even smaller than in Angband (10 slots+equips), most items are quite powerful, and enemies will use any nice equipment that they find (no free destruction of objects, so you can't reliably keep items from them). Features implemented:
- Correct display of the player's locale
- Map generation
- Movement, timing
- Moving pieces of wall around
- Non-stupid AI for movement of important actors
- Combat system (will need balancing)
- System of daemons to manage temporary effects
- Magic items/effects
- Line of sight
- AI for equipment management
- Map memory
- Something resembling balance
Features not yet implemented:
- multiple ring slots (never mind)
- lack of lag
