dcss
is a fun roguelike game that is now available on a tildeverse server
for your enjoyment. There are two ways to play: via WebTiles
for simple
2d graphics and via ssh
for a more traditional ascii interface.
If you already have an account on tilde.institute, you can play via the
ascii interface by issuing the command dcss
. This will automatically
connect to the server and present the login/registration menu.
Some users prefer graphics. For WebTiles
, it will be necessary to go to
https://crawl.tildeverse.org. Click PLAY
to open the WebTiles
interface.
All games on CTVO (the tildeverse crawl server) are recorded for later
playback. In order to review a previously recorded game, navigate to the
ttyrec directory, select a username,
and download the ttyrec
file. You'll need to have the ttyrec
package
installed in order to review them. Issue: ttyplay file.ttyrec
and watch
as your terminal automagically transforms into a recorded DCSS game.
ttyplay
is installed on tilde.institute, so feel free to download a
game to your home directory and watch it from there.
Want to see the run-down of a game? Check out the morgue
file for it. They're sorted into username directories at:
https://crawl.tildeverse.org/morgue.
Each morgue
file contains information such as how you died, your stats,
an account of monsters vanquished, among other stuff.
