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.
Rogue: Exploring the Dungeons of Doom (Go port)
Rogue is the original dungeon-crawling adventure game that spawned an entire genre. This branch is a faithful Go port of Rogue 5.4.4: explore procedurally generated dungeons, fight monsters, collect treasure, and attempt to retrieve the Amulet of Yendor.
Original authors: Michael Toy, Ken Arnold, and Glenn Wichman (1980–1983, 1985, 1999).
The port is function-by-function faithful to the classic C sources — same
dungeon generation (seed-compatible RNG), same combat math, same item
tables, same messages. The C reference implementation lives on the
master and modern-rogue branches; ARCHITECTURE.md
documents both the original program structure and the design of this port.
Building and running
Requires Go 1.25 or later and a terminal at least 80x24.
go build ./cmd/rogue
./rogue
# Restore a saved game
./rogue ~/rogue.save
# View high scores
./rogue -s
# Test the death screen (demo mode)
./rogue -d

The scoreboard is kept in ~/.rogue.scores. Save files are Go gob
snapshots and, as in the original, are deleted when restored.
Code layout
game/ the game engine: one Go file per original C file,
function-by-function (see ARCHITECTURE.md for the mapping)
term/ tcell-backed terminal, replacing curses
cmd/rogue/ the executable
The engine package is fully headless-testable: go test ./game/ runs
scripted game sessions, dungeon-generation golden checks, and an RNG
compatibility test against the original C generator.
