A Seven Day Roguelike entry for 2018. The actual game will not be built until the 7DRL starts. For now, just building a UI framework.

How To Play

• UI Management:
  • Zoom the playfield: Command-=, Command-- and Command-0
  • Zoom the UI: Add Shift to the above
  • (Use left modifiers for now. Windows not tested.)
  • Open/close message log: Backtick/Backquote
  • Scroll message log: Scroll wheel over message log window
• Movement:
  • VI Keys: HJKL for orthogonal, and YUBN for diagonal
• Inventory management:
  • Open inventory window: I
  • Inventory management keys are shown

Current State

• Draws a series of (stacked) tiles in the playfield
• Moves the camera around with movement keys
• Zooms the playfield and UI independently

Unity Notes

• If the standalone build's GUI looks all pink, reset the project graphics settings.

• Unity 2018.1.0b3 is very unstable with Arcadia installed. I temporarily deleted it from my local copy and things run much faster and don't seem to crash. (macOS 10.12 w/ current 13" MBP) I should test it with 2017.3 and see if that helps.

• CanvasScaler does not update when Canvas.ForceUpdateCanvases() is called, but only when its protected Update() method is called. So, this needs to be called manually (with SendMessage("Update")) when necessary.
