vms-roguelike-1988

Archival source code for a roguelike written (primarily by me) in 1988, targeting VMS operating system and VT100 terminals.

No build script was ever made (by me). The BASIC program should create an OBJ file or library to be linked with the main Pascal program. The longest and final version of the program appears to be triv2.pas, which has a documented revision date of December 30, 1988. Direct calls were made to the system library to read terminal keys interactively, as there was no native support for that in VAX Pascal. Various write and writeln statements output raw VT100 escape codes to draw the dungeon map, player statistics, and a scrolling text window.

My game influences at the time would have been Temple of Apshai and Rogue.
