Rogue Fork

This is a fork of the classic game Rogue, originally developed in the early 1980s. The purpose of this fork is to modernize the build process and address compatibility issues while maintaining the integrity of the original gameplay.

Features of this Fork

• Build Warnings and Errors Fixed:

  • Resolved deprecated and incompatible code issues.
  • Improved cross-platform compatibility with modern compilers.

• Alternate Build Systems:

  • Added support for CMake and Meson in addition to the original Automake.
  • Simplified build process for modern development environments.

• Faithful to Original Gameplay:

  • No gameplay changes or balancing modifications.
  • Focused exclusively on codebase and build improvements.
