Here's a the second Atari 8-bit Moria demo. Like all the others, this cartridge image is an Atarimax 8mbit cartridge, old style 127 bank cartridge. Try it in Altirra with Warp Speed to speed up the cave generation (no optimization of this was been attempted yet!) Requires VBXE!

In this demo, you can create your character, and walk around the Town and Dungeons. "rogue-like" commands are being used. It's possible to pick up, wear, equip and drop items. Although there are no monsters yet, it's still possible to die by stepping on traps or starving.

Currently implemented:

Movement commands:

h - left

l - right

j - down

k - up

y - up left diagonal

u - up right diagonal

n - down left diagonal

m - down right diagonal

Use Shift with those commands to Run.

Use Ctrl with those commands to Tunnel.

PS. you can also use the Ctrl-Arrows to move your character up/down/left/right (but not run or tunnel at the moment.)

Other commands:

c - close a door

d - drop an item

e - equipment list

f - force/bash a door

i - inventory list

o - open a door

s - search

w - wear/wield

C - display character/change name

E - Eat

F - Fill lamp with oil

Q - quit the game

R - rest

S - spike a door

T - take off item

X - exchange item

< - go up a staircase

> - go down a staircase

CTRL-P - previous message(s)

Counts only work with some commands,and will be terminated by the same things that end a rest or a run. Inparticular, typing any character during the execution of a counted commandwill terminate the command. Counted searches or tunnels will terminate onsuccess, or if you are attacked. A count with control-P will specify thenumber of previous messages to display.Control-R will redraw the screen whenever it is input, not only at commandlevel. Control commands may be entered with a single key stroke, or with twokey strokes by typing ^ and then a letter.Type ESCAPE to abort the look command at any point.Some commands will prompt for a spell, or an inventory item. Selection isby an alphabetic character - entering a capital causes a desription to beprinted, and the selection may be aborted.Typing `R*' will make you rest until both your mana and your hp reach theirmaximum values.Using repeat counts with the tunnel left command does not work well, becausetunnel left is the backspace character, and will delete the number you havejust typed in.  To avoid this, you can either enter ^H as two characters(^ and then H), or you can type ' ' (i.e. the space character) after thenumber at which point you will get a command prompt and backspace willwork correctly.

You may notice a few small bugs...
