@rIntroduction @rDoomRL@> (abbr. for Doom, the Roguelike) is, as the name implies, a roguelike game. If you don't know what a roguelike is... check out wikipedia -- @Bhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roguelike@>. DoomRL is based on the world from id Software's(tm) game Doom(tm). You're the sole surviving marine from a squad sent to investigate a distress call from the moonbase of Phobos. It turns out that all hell has broken loose on the planet surface... literally. Your quest in DoomRL is to descend into the moonbase complex, find the source of this evil outbreak, and destroy it at all costs. Unlike many other roguelikes, DoomRL is intended to be simple and easy to get into. To that end, there is a limited inventory, maps of the size of one screen, and one item per tile. The number of keys you need to remember is also quite small compared to many other games.
