I have successfully programmed my 7DRL in less than 7 days. I hope I
made a good attempt at my first complete roguelike. Enjoy the
resulting game. Anyways, as I really liked the idea of the 7DRL, I
hope this gets included with the other Roguelikes in the competition,
and I hope that I can enter more 7DRLs.
To play, simply click on this link. Java web start will start the
program automatically:

No guarentees that it will work if you don't have Java 1.6. Anyways,
have fun!
Features include:
* 11 different monsters, each with varying speed, health, and quirks
* Plants that have different features, which change in subsequent
generations
* No health, instead a hunger system that requires food to block
attacks.
* 3 different attack styles, and 4 different plant magicks, all tied
to a practice-based skill system.
* Ground fertility, which can be modified to affect the lifespan of
your plants.
I am a little concerned about balance, and I would like some input.
Also, I am afraid that there are some bugs in the 7DRL that were not
fixed. Anyways, please help me by reporting any bugs you find, or any
suggestions for feature improvements or balance. Also, I want to know
what you thought about the game.
P.S. I feel a little intimidated by the amount of roguelike sites out
there, such as Roguebasin. Can someone help me put my success on
these sites so that I can interest other people.
