A dark, medieval high-fantasy roguelike adventure game. Procedurally generated, tile-based dungeon crawler built with Python and Pygame.
- Infinite progression: Each dungeon is randomly generated and traversing a door at the end leads to a new dungeon.
- Tile-based movement: Classic grid movement inspired by old-school RPGs.
- Dynamic camera: The view scrolls to keep the player centered within the dungeon bounds.
- Room and corridor generation: Multiple rooms per dungeon, connected by corridors.
- Interactable doors: Doors at dungeon edges and at the farthest point allow transitions to new dungeons.
- Extensible architecture: Ready for future features like items, inventory, NPCs, and magic.
