Current progress on "SDL-Rogue"

This is simply a repost of my own "Roadmap" that I have with the source code. Essentially it's my current achievements and goals document... if it isn't in here, I don't intend to implement it. Naturally I might decide to add stuff as I go along, but I usually plan them somewhere I feel it makes sense.

Anyway, the details.

Accomplished:

• Tile rendering
• Player rendering
• Player movement (+ smooth movement)
• Player collision
• Camera implementation (+ border limiting)
• Teleports (= visible or invisible staircases)
• Upper layer (purely aesthetic drawing layer on top of player)
• Performance increase + FPS Limiting
• Doors
• Popup Menu allowing player to "open door" and "unlock door"
• Keys (with which locked doors can be opened)

To do:

• Add stats to the player, render them in the sidebar
  - Name
  - HP & MP
  - STR, INT, DEX, CON, CHA, LUC
  - Keys
  - Money
• Add Combat (with basic hardcoded weapon)
• Add "Level up" functionality (stats change dynamically as you level)
  *Not sure how to do this yet, don't want to stick to generic experience/levelling system
• Add carryable items
• Add 'treasure chests'
• Add item usability
• Add carryable weapons (replacing the hardcoded one)
• Add Spells
• Have the following load from a file (instead of being hardcoded)
  > Specific objects (object[#][#])
  > The level (all the rooms)
  > Which tiles are collidable
  > Performance Optimization variables
• Create a Main Menu, functioning as the program 'home'
• Add Save/Load Functionality
• Add ingame Config editting for major functions
• Create "Random Level" routine to make it a true Roguelike game
• Create a sepperate level editor to create rooms/levels/worlds
• Create conversation system
• Build a Singleplayer campaign

Obviously, there are a few things missing from this list... for instance... I have no idea where I will stick the 'different types of monsters' yet, I'm not even sure how I want to do that (computer generated, hardcoded, from a file) so that, among other things, is something I'll decide on when I feel it becomes necessary.

Everything else just outlines some things I want to do with this game, like a sense of direction. I want to have a singleplayer campaign at some point (because it's cool, and I get to show off my 'comedic conversation making') as well as being able to load a lot of crap from files instead of having that reside inside the program executable.

So it's by no means a complete list of all the things I'm going to do, and in what order I will do them, but it's a decent indication... especially when I'm going "Well... what should I add next?!?"

That's enough for today. I hope to have the stats rendering done by thursday, so that's what I'll be aiming for... now here's to hoping I can motivate myself to get off my ass and go and do that!

Until then!
