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.
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

Environment
# Game options, as in the original
export ROGUEOPTS="name=YourName,terse,jump,fruit=mango"
# Wizard (debug) mode, with a reproducible dungeon

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.
