This is a nearly line-for-line port of Rogue v3.6.2 from C to Common Lisp. The goal of this exercise was to see how easy it would be to write idiomatic 1980s-era C, well-written but with lots of side-effects and stuff, in Common Lisp. In the process of porting the code, I gained an appreciation for the pragmatic elegance of the Rogue code base. It also showed me that it was possible to keep the code almost exactly the same across both languages (same variable names, same control flow), with only a few exceptions.
The source code is most likely here; see also version 5.4.4.
CL-ROGUE is a lot easier to get running with Quicklisp; so it is highly recommended you set that up first.
Make sure you've installed ncurses. For example on Ubuntu 18.04 you'd execute:
sudo apt-get install -y libncurses5-devPresently CL-ROGUE also depends on the CL-CHARMS Common Lisp library which wraps ncurses. The older CL-NCURSES package no longer works reliably on all platforms.
Only SBCL v1.4.5 has been tested recently; other versions of Common Lisp might work but they haven't been tested.
Once you've ensured you have the above dependencies, you should be able to execute the following commands in a screen-oriented terminal:
(pushnew (merge-pathnames "src/cl-rogue/" (user-homedir-pathname)) asdf:*central-registry*)
(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op 'cl-rogue)
(cl-rogue:rogue)Note: you should substitute in something else for "src/cl-rogue"
if that's not where you put it.
Note: ignore warnings that look like this:
WARNING: Unable to load ncurses.
Despite the dire-sounding nature of the warning, curses seems to work just fine.
Using the Dockerfile in the cl-rogue directory, you should be able
to do the following:
cd cl-rogue
docker build -t cl-rogue .
docker run -i -t cl-rogue
