Refactor step 6. MessageLine (was MsgLine) owns the msg/addmsg/endmsg
machinery, wired to its screen, pre---More-- redraw, and input via
attach(); RogueGame keeps one-line msg/addmsgf/endmsg shorthands so
the ~400 call sites are unchanged. Player gains nextPackChar and
removeFromPack (the state half of pack.c leave_pack); leavePack keeps
only the LastPick repeat-command tracking. Level gains ObjectAt
(misc.c find_obj) and AddObject/RemoveObject/AddMonster/RemoveMonster,
replacing direct attach/detach calls on the level lists. Inventory and
pickup UI flows stay on RogueGame: display and orchestration, not
state surgery. Behavior and RNG order unchanged; suite green.
Refactor step 5, combat: rollEm→rollAttacks; attack, moveMonster, and
chaseStep return (removed bool) instead of the C -1/0 int codes.
Behavior unchanged; suite green.
getItem→promptPackItem now returns (obj, ok) instead of a nil-signaling
pointer; invName→inventoryName; doPot→applyPotionFuse. C breadcrumbs
kept. Behavior unchanged; suite green.
Refactor step 4. Renames (C breadcrumbs kept in doc comments):
doMove→moveHero, beTrapped→springTrap, rndmove→randomStep,
doRooms→digRooms, doPassages→digPassages, doMaze→digMaze,
chgStr→changeStrength, doRun→startRun, moveStuff→finishMove,
turnref→turnRefresh, moveMonst→moveMonster, doChase→chaseStep,
setOldch→setOldChar, cansee→canSee, roomin→roomIn, runto→runTo,
conn→connectRooms, putpass→putPassage, passnum→numberPassages,
numpass→numberPassage, rndPos→randomPos, rndRoom→randomRoom,
treasRoom→treasureRoom, accntMaze→accountMaze.
All goto/label flows are gone: moveHero uses a retry loop with the
PASSGO corner logic extracted into passageTurn; dispatch re-dispatches
via a loop; chaseStep re-checks via a loop; saveGame uses a labeled
prompt loop. Control flow and RNG call order are unchanged; suite
green.
gochecknoglobals: all 37 package-level tables consolidated into the
gameData struct (game/tables.go), built by newGameData() and carried
on RogueGame as g.data (set in NewGame and Restore). ObjectKind
Glyph()/objectKindForGlyph are now switches; the table-reading subtype
Stringer methods are gone; isMagic is a RogueGame method.
goconst: repeated words named (potionName/scrollName/ringName/goldName
in object.go, wandName/staffName in sticks.go, ripWall in tables.go).
exhaustive, testpackage: disabled in .golangci.yml with sneak's
approval (2026-07-07).
Also reverts misspell's silent corruption of the "ther" scroll-name
syllable (it had become "there", changing generated scroll names vs C).
Remaining red: cyclop/gocognit/nestif until refactor step 7; mnd
awaits a ruling. TODO.md rotated; MEMORY.md lint notes updated.
.golangci.yml is the prompts-repo standard verbatim plus one approved
exception (paralleltest, sneak 2026-07-06). Roughly 1,500 findings
fixed:
- autofix sweep (wsl_v5/nlreturn/intrange/modernize formatting), with
the misspell autofix REVERTED where it rewrote authentic C game text
("missle vanishes" stays, with nolint and a comment)
- error handling: errcheck sites get real handling — saveFile now
closes explicitly and removes corrupt saves, scoreboard writes are
documented best-effort, err113 sentinel errors (ErrSaveOutOfDate,
ErrScreenTooSmall); panics allowed for unrecoverable states per
MEMORY.md policy
- gosec: real fixes (ParseInt for SEED, 0600 scorefile) and justified
per-line nolints for provably-bounded conversions (randomMonsterLetter
helper collapses eight rnd(26)+'A' sites)
- API tidying from linters: pointer receivers on flag types
(recvcheck), msg helpers renamed addmsgf/doaddf/Printwf/MvPrintwf
(goprintffuncname), myExit()/findFloor(monst)/mkGameInput(t) drop
always-constant params (unparam), gameEnd carries no status
- gocritic/staticcheck: if-else chains to switches, the pack.c
inventory filter untangled into matchesFilter, main.go split so
defers run before exit (exitAfterDefer, funlen)
- revive doc comments on all exported flag types/consts/methods
Remaining findings are confined to linters pending sneak's exception
decision (mnd, gochecknoglobals, cyclop, nestif, gocognit, exhaustive,
goconst, testpackage); TODO.md records the state. MEMORY.md added at
repo root as the project's agent working notes.
Object.Arm carried four meanings in C (o_arm/o_charges/o_goldval plus
ring bonuses); it is now four fields: ArmorClass, Charges, GoldValue,
and Bonus. Stats.Arm becomes Stats.ArmorClass. The Charges()/GoldVal()
accessor pair is gone.
Damage dice strings ("1x4/1x2") are parsed once into DiceSpec — at
table definition for the bestiary and weapon tables, at creation for
items — instead of re-parsed with atoi on every swing as fight.c
roll_em did. ParseDice preserves the C parse semantics exactly,
including the junk-tolerant "%%%x0" bestiary placeholder and the
"000x0" flytrap reset (regression-tested in dice_test.go); the
flytrap's growing grip becomes DiceSpec{{VfHit, 1}}.
Save format bumps to 5.4.4-go3 (field renames and retypes would
silently zero under gob's match-by-name decoding).
No behavior change; full suite green.
ObjectKind separates what an item is from how it draws: Object.Type
(a byte that doubled as the map character) becomes Kind ObjectKind,
with Glyph() producing the display character and objectKindForGlyph
converting back at the map boundary. KindWand covers the C 'stick'
category. The magic-missile bolt uses KindGold, matching C's literal
o_type='*' trick, with a comment.
PotionKind, ScrollKind, RingKind, WandKind, WeaponKind, ArmorKind and
TrapKind are now iota enums with Stringer (names come from the base
info tables); Object gains typed accessors (obj.RingKind(), ...) and
Launch is typed WeaponKind. beTrapped returns TrapKind. The
getItem/inventory/whatis prompt filters take ObjectKind, with
KindCallable/KindRingOrStick replacing the C CALLABLE/R_OR_S
sentinels; wizard.c's type_name table is subsumed by
ObjectKind.String(). IsRing/IsWearing/initWeapon/doPot signatures are
typed accordingly.
The save format version becomes 5.4.4-go2: the gob field rename would
otherwise silently zero Kind when reading old saves.
No behavior change; full suite green.
rooms.c, passages.c, new_level.c ported in full: room/maze layout,
corridor spanning tree with extra connections, passage numbering flood
fill, trap/stairs/object placement, treasure rooms. Careful RNG-call
ordering throughout keeps generation seed-faithful to C.
Supporting subsystems this depends on, also ported:
- screen.go: curses replaced by in-memory Window cell buffers behind a
Terminal interface (tcell arrives with the UI phase; tests run headless)
- io.go: msg/addmsg/endmsg message-line protocol, status line, step_ok
- pack.c in full (add_pack sorting/stacking walk, get_item, inventory)
- things.c in full (inv_name, new_thing, discovery lists, pagination)
- monsters.c in full; chase.c navigation half (roomin/cansee/see_monst/
find_dest/runto/set_oldch); rings.c, armor.c in full
- weapons.c/sticks.c creation half (init_weapon, fix_stick, num)
- misc.c look() display update, eat, level-up, direction input
- daemons.c callbacks except stomach (needs death()) and the runners
chase driver (combat phase)
- init.c init_player with the starting kit
Tests: level invariants across seeds, determinism, 30-depth sweep.
