I wanted to make a version of Brogue that one could easily complete a game in a coffee break, but still experience the entire Brogue experience.

UPDATE: I have updated this mod to Brogue Community Edition (CE) 1.9! The instructions for the 1.7.4 version below should still apply to the CE 1.9 version of Coffee Brogue.

Included in the download is a .tar.gz file which can be extracted on Linux. Inside, the modified source code can be found. To run the game, open a Terminal window and navigate to the .../coffeebrogue-1.7.4/bin folder using the cd command, then run ./brogue to open the game.

To use on windows, I recommend using an Ubuntu virtual machine with VirtualBox. I wrote up some instructions for how to accomplish this here: https://pastebin.com/ssG0sgsm

I modified the source code from the Linux distribution of Brogue 1.7.4. Credit to Brian Walker for making Brogue.

Changes from Brogue 1.7.4: SPOILERS!

• Added more items on the first two floors
• Increased the enchant level of all items when spawned
• Down stairs now take you to a random lower floor, up to D26, instead of the next floor
• Changed items to require only 1 turn to fully identify

Tips: MORE SPOILERS!

• If you want to rush floor 26, go up and down stairs a few times
• You have to go up the stairs normally; keep this in mind when taking stairs down to random floors
• If you want to go to the next floor, jump down a pit instead of using the stairs
