An exiting RPG
Project description
ForestQuest is an RPG. You have a role. You play a game. And in this case, “a game” is this game.
ForestQuest consists of two parts: Code and data. Code is written in Python and released under the GNU GPLv3+, while data is generally available under the terms of the Creative Commons BY-SA 3.0+ license. More about this in the file LICENSING.txt includeded with this distribution.
ForestQuest uses the Dililatum library to run itself. At http://metanohi.org/projects/dililatum/ you can get a copy of Dililatum. This version of ForestQuest works with Dililatum v0.1 (and maybe even future versions).
You do not have to install ForestQuest to run it, but it is possible. To install ForestQuest, write this in a terminal:
$ ./setup.py install
To run it, make sure Dililatum is installed, and then run this in a terminal:
$ dililatum path/to/forestquest
If you chose to install ForestQuest, there’s an even quicker way:
$ dililatum forestquest
A graphical Dililatum frontend might be added in a future Dililatum release. Read more about this on the Dililatum website.
New versions of ForestQuest can be downloaded from http://metanohi.org/projects/forestquest/. Because of ForestQuest’s status as a game, there’s really not much to document. The size of the code of ForestQuest is limited, and it’s not like it creates a whole new set of APIs. Dililatum is documented.
ForestQuest is a work in progress, and part of its purpose is to be a way to more easily develop Dililatum (which, like ForestQuest, is not exactly complete right now). Developers are very welcome.
The current version of ForestQuest is v0.1. The original author is Niels Serup <ns@metanohi.org>.
