Aklabeth
========

Aklabeth is effectively Ultima 0. It was written for the Apple II in Basic.

This game is a port, written in a mixture of C and C++. I wrote this a year or two back, can't remember why, in C. I glued it to my SDL wrapper library and released it.

It's a RPG - sort of. You wander the top world, visit 3D (sort of) dungeons, beat up monsters and perform tasks for the legendary Lord British (AKA Richard Garriott).

It requires the SDL Library.

Keys

N S E W (and arrow keys) move player both in upper world, and in the dungeons.

A attack
I inventory
Q quit
X enter town/shop/dungeon/climb up and down.

Have fun,

Paul Robson

Description

The evil wizard has polluted the land of Aklabeth with monsters. Although the lord of Aklabeth repelled the wizard, his evil creatures remain. Select the role of Fighter or Mage. Do battle with skeletons, thieves, rats, orcs, vipers, carrions, gremlins, mimics, deamon, and balrogs using rapier, axe, shield, bow and arrow. Don't run out of food and use unpredictable amulets wisely. There are dungeons to clean, towns to visit and shops to buy from. Visit the lord at the castle to be sent on quests.

Turn based. Above ground the player has an overhead view of icons. But in the dungeons, you explore and fight in first person view.

Build instructions:
extract the tar ball to a directory
navigate to that directory in a terminal then type
./configure
make
sudo make install

now typing aklabeth in a terminal will run the game
