This is a roguelike I made for 7drl. I wrote this game in Clojure to learn the language.

This is my first roguelike and my first 7drl. A lot of features I wanted did not quite make it into the game as I ran out of time. The stuff that I actually got going though is pretty cool.

I managed to get random level generation and A*-pathfinding going which I'm quite pleased about.

So about the game:

The idea is this rogue character is stuck in a loop of a functional program (most probably a lisp dialect). The enemy (A) is immutable, can't be killed and just respawns.

The only way out is to kill S-expressions by taking out pairs of parens. On each level you need to look for the pair of parens before you can use the exit `% `. When you enter the next form (level) you get some health back.

Ultimately you're looking for the backquote character to escape evaluation.

Keys:

• h left
• u up-left
• n down-left
• l right
• i up-right
• m down-right
• j down
• k up
• > exit to next level
• q quit

Enjoy!
