Hydra Slayer is a Roguelike game focused on one thing: slaying Hydras. It is inspired by Greek mythology, Dungeon Crawl, MathRL seven day roguelike, and some mathematical puzzles about brave heroes slaying many headed beasts.

Hydra Slayer currently features:

* a unique (AFAICT) gameplay mechanics (although the main idea is based on old mathematical puzzles). To defeat a Hydra, you have to choose your attacks carefully, just bashing it with your "best" weapon is not likely to be a successful strategy. To win the big game, you have to choose your set of weapons wisely, and use your resources efficiently!
* a theme which mixes high fantasy and mathematics
* open source (compiles on Windows, Linux, MacOS), and also an Android version
* traditional roguelike ASCII graphics, or tiles/3D display via NotEye
* 5 player character races with very distinct tactics:
o Humans - the simplest but versatile race
o Elves - equipped with the unique Bow weapon, powerful when close to mushrooms
o Nagas - slow, but able to deliver mighty ambidextrous attacks
o Trolls - can carry lots of weapons, but no other items
o Halfling Twins - control two characters instead of one
* 28 enemy types:
o 10 basic types of elemental hydras (in two variations)
o 8 types of special enemies
o harmless mushrooms for strategic advantage
* 24 types of equipment (not counting material and size/power variations)
* 15 weapon materials:
o 10 elements corresponding to basic hydra types
o 4 gem types for non-elemental equipment
o 1 mighty special material
* 18 types of non-equipment items:
o 7 runes to be used on your enemies
o 3 scrolls to be used on equipment
o 8 potions to empower yourself
* 3 game geometries to choose before the start of game:
o traditional 8-directional
o 4-directional for laptop users
o hex board
* 8 level topologies (including the Mobius strip and Klein bottle)
* 11 level generators
* 2 endings:

Compiled for arm. Check http://www.roguetemple.com/z/hydra.php for more info and tactics.

I take it that this also needs the QEMU trick thingy?

I tried running it (Maemo 4) and got an illegal instruction error.

No. This one is just compiled with make on N900.

Well poopers.

Do you know of any dependencies? Perhaps Ncurses or something?

can u develop a game named TMO?
its description should be

**edit
ok come to think of it, that was a lame troll comment..

-lcurses is passed to the compiler, so uses curses.No sld/libtcod, just console output.

Weird. All I have is ncurses-base_5.4-3.osso1_all.deb

Installed that but it was still not enough to lose the illegal instruction error of unhappiness.

Oh well, I guess it's only good for the N900.
