Code will need either a rewrite or copying the old exp/iterable code into the internal source tree to be compilable with a current version .of Go.

Teratogen is a simple roguelike for testing the Go programming language's suitability for game development. Currently only works on Linux.

Note from author:

As of 2010-11, the project is on permanent hiatus. Google dropped the exp/iterable module from Go, which the Teratogen code uses extensively for its internal logic. Code will need either a rewrite or copying the old exp/iterable code into the internal source tree to be compilable with a current version .of Go. The current Go language, still without generics, is a bit too hostile to abstraction in algorithm code for me to bother. I might get back to it when they get a generics implementation out.
