sneak e3ab4aba8b build: add a make cover target for per-function coverage (closes #17)
make cover writes build/coverage.out and prints the per-function report;
make cover-html renders the same profile to build/coverage.html. The
per-package percentage make test prints cannot say which function is
untested.

Both write files, so neither is in check, and neither may be added to it:
check must not modify the working tree. Their output lands under the
already-ignored build/.

Verified: make cover printed per-function lines and a 62.6% total,
make cover-html wrote build/coverage.html, and git status stayed clean.
GOFLAGS=-count=1 make check green in 24s with the lint layer executing
(12.0s, "0 issues.", not CACHED) and the suite running for real (cmd/rogue
1.037s, game 3.410s); check is still fmt-check lint test and git status is
clean afterwards.

Rogue: Exploring the Dungeons of Doom (Go port)

License

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 (19801983, 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.

make build
./build/rogue
# Restore a saved game
./build/rogue ~/rogue.save

# View high scores
./build/rogue -s

# Test the death screen (demo mode)
./build/rogue -d

In-game commands

Press ? in game for the full list.

  • arrows or h/j/k/l/y/u/b/n — move (shift to run, ctrl to run until adjacent)
  • . rest, s search for hidden doors and traps
  • i inventory, , pick up, d drop
  • q quaff potion, r read scroll, e eat food
  • w wield weapon, W wear armor, P/R put on / remove ring
  • t throw, z zap a wand, f/F fight
  • >/< take the stairs
  • S save, Q quit

Environment

# Game options, as in the original
export ROGUEOPTS="name=YourName,terse,jump,fruit=mango"

# Wizard (debug) mode, with a reproducible dungeon
ROGUE_WIZARD=1 SEED=12345 ./build/rogue

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: make test runs scripted command sequences, dungeon-generation golden checks, and an RNG compatibility test against the original C generator.

For development, the Makefile wraps the toolchain: make fmt (gofmt + prettier), make lint (script/lint, which runs golangci-lint inside the pinned container built from Dockerfile.lint — it is never installed on the host, so docker is required), make test (the suite, under the race detector with coverage and a timeout), make check (all three), make build (the executable), and make cover / make cover-html (per-function coverage, and the same profile as annotated source at build/coverage.html). Everything they generate lands in the git-ignored build/. Use the targets rather than the toolchain directly — they carry the flags the project relies on.
