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.
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.
