Deadly Dungeon

The original idea was to create a roguelike where picking up items damages the player. The goal was to make players think more strategically about the items they pick up and equip.

I started making the game in Love2d, but creating the roguelike mechanics such as dungeon generation took me longer than I thought. I transitioned to python-tcod in an attempt to complete something for the jam.

The game is basic. Use the arrow keys to move, and try to get to the dungeon exit. Every move reduces the player's health. I would like to expand the concept by adding potions and other items to help the player reach the end (and add more dungeon floors, of course).

To play, you will need Python installed. Unzip the zip file and install the required packages by using pip and requirements.txt: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-install-python-packages-with-requirements-t.... Using a virtual environment is recommended: https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html#creating-virtual-environments. run the game by running the W2024GJ/main.py file with python.
