The Tech Demo 1

(see also Tech Demo 2 )

Things that should work​

  • You should be able to see a map - either with colored text characters or graphic.
  • You should be able to move from room to room (with direction commands), open doors, interact with items and shops
  • On clients that support character mode and have full terminal emulation you should get a user interface with dedicated input buffer and output windows
  • (Character mode only) You should be able to move on the map with cursor keys and look at stuff with CTRL+ cursor keys. Walls should hinder your movement. When you move into a room, the room description area should update.
  • The text area should show mobiles, items and other players.
  • You should hear audio in the login screen and in the forest of the example zone.

Things that don't work yet ...​

... but that you might expect to work

  • Not every tile is mapped to a character representation yet (those are displayed as ? )
  • The map does not show mobiles yet - except yourself
  • Line of sight
  • Leaving the zone
  • Moving with cursor keys is not imposed the same limits as moving with commands (e.g. you can leave the start room with cursor keys, although you are not dressed)
  • Going down or up does not put you on a different map (only to a different location on the same map)
  • There is no connection yet between tiles representing items and items in the room.
