Roguelike Adventure

boken-old's Issues

Descriptions should be displayed for items in item lists.

Clean up level region code to eliminate special cases.

In multiselect mode, if nothing is selected, use the indicated item on confirm.

For a multi-select list, if items are selected, cancel should first deselect them before dismissing the list.

The inventory window should have focus when opened.

Until the mouse is moved, the inventory window should have input focus.

Improve the message window.

• Consider how to deal with the message background.
• Automatically fade the window over time.
• Have the window return to full visibility on mouse over.
• Consider allowing the size (number of lines) to be adjusted dynamically.
• Consider allowing the window to be repositioned.

Interacting with containers should have commands to add / remove / etc items.

For containers (including the player inventory?), commands on the contained items should be directly accessible without jumping to another sub-menu / list.

For example, select 5 items, press ctrl-d (or some other command mapping) to drop all 5 items at once.

The mouse wheel should function for item lists.

List selection is broken for left mouse button clicks

Clicking on an item with no modifier keys should reset the selection to be just that item which was clicked.

Entity definitions should be loaded from disk.

The hard coded default entities should be moved over to external json definitions as in the case of items.

Titles and messages for containers should update to reflect their contents.

Add a debug command to view item and entity properties in detail.

Consolidate more of the event handling code.

If an item cannot be moved, indicate the reason to the player.

Fora example trying to place a chest inside another chest.

The view should scroll to keep the player visible.

When the player nears the edge of the visible screen, the screen should scroll automatically to keep the player in view.

View shifting should instead center the view at extreme zoom levels.

Word wrapping should choose break points more intelligently.

A 'view' mode / command should be added.

A command or mode to view know information about a given tile should be added. Information displayed should include items know to be on the tile, the tile type, etc.

View container contents.

Removing items from an item list does not update the selected items and indicated item correctly.

Long messages should be line-wrapped.

Tiles (wall tiles especially) should be chosen more intelligently.

Currently when a wall tile is removed by some means (adding a door, opening, etc) the adjacent tiles are updated. However, the choice of tile to which adjacent tiles are updated is somewhat unnatural.

Containers enhancements.

• Insert items into containers.
• Calculate container total weight.
• Restrict the number of items (volume) of items in a container.

Items in item lists should have alpha-numeric shortcuts.

Items should have (user configurable?) shortcuts. That is, the first item should be selectable by merely pressing 'a', for example.

Multi-select for item lists should behave more similarly to common gui systems.

Shift-click and ctrl-click should behave as in windows apps; namely, shift-click should select a range of elements and ctrl-click should toggle the selected status of the clicked element.

Indicate when a ui element has the input focus.

Remove items from containers.

• Remove to inventory (get).
• Remove to ground (drop).

Item lists should scroll to keep the indicated item visible.

When an item list has enough items that they don't all fit in the client area of the list, the list should scroll automatically to keep the indicated item in view.

Tooltips positions should be adjusted to not flow off screen.

The (debug) tooltip should be drawn topmost.

Running directly into a door should open it and stop.

Debug tooltip for tiles should react more intelligently.

Currently pressing shift in any context (even in an item list) displays the debug tooltip.

Add simple markup for text (foreground color).

Add an inventory usuable 'open' command.

Add a viewable full message history.

Add methods to view the full message history since the game and/or session began. Consider also date and time stamps for each message, and perhaps the location (level) where the message was generated.

Add more advanced text markup.

• Bold and italics: <b>bold!</b>
• Nested markup: <cr>red <cb>blue</c> and more <b>bold</b> red</c>
• Color functions: <cRainbow>So colorful!</c> would apply a function to each codepoint in the marked up text potentially generating a different color for each codepoint (glyph).

Level connectivity is flawed.

Probably there is a bug in the logic to detect when a connection has been made between two areas.

With the current default seed this can be seen on level 2 and 4.

The bug exists as of 71d13e2.

Graphics for items on the ground not updated correctly.

When the item at the top of the pile on the ground is picked up the icon for the pile on the ground is not properly updated.

Consider having a special "pile" icon when there are multiple items in one tile and only use an item's icon when it is the only item in the tile.

Dropping items from the inventory menu drops in the wrong location.

If the player moves after opening the inventory menu and then drops items, those items will dropped at the position that the player was at when the menu was opened rather than where the player is currently.

The view command's reticle should stay in view like when the player moves.

Containers should display weight inclusive of their contents.

Item lists should be sortable by any given column.

Containers known to be empty should display as such.

Implement field-of-view and line-of-sight.

• FOV
• LOS

Choose door locations more intelligently.

More natural locations should be chosen for door placement. For example, good candidates would be where corridor carving knocked down existing walls.

Run should have an alternate mode.

Run should have an alternate mode where the player stops when reaching a junction -- for example at the intersection of two corridors.

Perhaps:
[shift] + direction = alternate run
[shift] + [ctrl] + direction = run until obstacle

Level generation should check for connectivity.

As a bare minimum there must exists a path the player can navigate from the level entrance to the level exit. This path could be cut off at a later time on the level, but, at least at the time of generation, such a path must exist.

After modifing the contents of a container the cursor should react more intelligently.

Currently the cursor jumps back to the start of the list; whereas it should move to the item nearest its last position.

The 'open' command should also consider carried items.

If the the player is standing on no containers, ask whether the player wants to open something in their inventory if suitable candidates exist.

The debug command for opening a corridor should be mapped to something else.

Currently the command is mapped to the left mouse button. Something more appropriate like ctrl-alt-click, or a mode which can be toggled would be better.
