dL1 Screen Shot

I have started writing some code for my 7 Day Roguelike entry dL1. The outline of the first level of the dungeon is visible. I might have a slight vertical spacing issue to deal with. And I tried making the user appear in the dungeon as an "@", but I had trouble erasing the character. There was also some trouble aligning the symbol at the correct location.

But this is at least a start. Now if I can just solve my spacing issues, and figure out how to erase a character on the screen, we might have a character moving around a little bit. For now I am think I am going to call it a day. I have about 5 days left before the contest is over. That seems a long way to go. At this rate, I will be happy if I get a character running around the dungeon and picking up things.

Dont use an applet for output ;)

SZDev - Slash,

Hey there. I am new to Java. Is an application better than an applet for roguelikes? I don't really understand much of the difference. All the examples from my textbook show graphics using applets. Any details would be appreciated.

Yeah, it is much better

However, for the sake of the 7DRL, and if you already handle how to make output on an applet, I guess you'd better go ahead...

...or you may want to check how output is made on libjcsi (self advertising yet again! :))

Hey I full support self advertising when it results in me being able to reuse code instead of rolling my own.

I just downloaded libjcsi and got the SCBExample to work in 10 minutes. Yee haw. I did not have any such luck with JCurses.

Let's see where this takes me. Finishing the 7DRL may be within my reach now.
