Looks a bit like Dungeons of Dredmor. The difference being this actually looks fun.

Ya, my intent is to reconcile the rogue-like genre with casual (and co-op multiplayer) gaming, in a sense.
Making the video gave me a little perspective, too. It seems that if I want the enemies to be slower than you generally (which I do, I want a lot of running away), they should randomize their actions so kiting them isn't quite so easy. However kiting is still a large part of the (ranged) gameplay.

Way to ignore my issues

Pray tell what you mean, my dear S ?

Wow. Can't believe I missed this...
Thanks for the first actual code contributions! <3 Anywhere you can chat about such ?

Please don't rely on boost like that. It ruins the header only-ness. I would prefer to depend on ASIO and not have to compile boost.

I will add your 'simplified controls' as an alternate set of rules. Also, I want to keep the current behaviour that dropped items are not auto-picked up, which you nuked.

I will sadly flat out deny any changes that make a monster's speed more than 5 :) I've gotten enough heck about monsters with speed=4.

Just a note:
- amnt = mt.rand(ec.groupsize);
+ amnt = mt.rand(ec.groupsize.min == ec.groupsize.max?1:ec.groupsize.min, ec.groupsize.max);

You replaced a line of code that does what you wanted it to do, with a line that generates from [min,max-1] :)

So...No one else has noticed that Serpex replied to a blag...

Also, ludamad, we talked on Skype about this, so sorry I didn't reply to the blog.

I seriously feel that seeing Serprex is like seeing a shiny Pokemon.
