ARLQ, another rogue-like quest game

ARLQ (Another Rogue-Like Quest) is a compact rogue-like game created as an experiment in developing code and manuals with humans and ChatGPT.

PyPI version Python 3.10-3.14

Explore a procedurally generated dungeon, manage your LP (Life Points), learn the identities of monsters, and find the treasure guarded by the dragon. The game includes three stages:

  • Stage 1: Find the Dragon's treasure chest.
  • Stage 2: Find the Fire Drake's treasure chest.
  • Stage 3: Defeat the Dread Wyrm and claim its treasure chest with help from the elves.

Features include:

  • Turn-based combat, level progression, food, and special monster abilities.
  • Fog of war and an automap that preserves explored areas.
  • Companions with unique abilities.
  • A Pyglet graphical interface and a Blessed terminal interface.

Installation

ARLQ requires Python 3.10 or later. Install it from PyPI with:

pip install arlq

The required Pyglet and Blessed dependencies are installed automatically.

Start the graphical version with:

arlq

The terminal version is available through arlq-cli:

arlq-cli

You can also select the Blessed terminal interface explicitly:

arlq --terminal

Run arlq --help for the complete list of options. The old --curses option is retained as a deprecated alias for --terminal. The terminal interface requires a terminal at least 80 columns wide and 24 lines high; the game pauses while the terminal is smaller and resumes after it is enlarged.

License

ARLQ is released under the BSD-2-Clause License.
