About
Omega Rebirth is a fork of the classic roguelike "Omega" (v0.90.4), originally authored by Laurence Brothers in 1987. Omega Rebirth attempts to modernize the UI, and introduces many bug-fixes, game-balance improvements, and minor features.
Some noteworthy changes include:
- Compiles as C++
- Map stays centered on the player
- Removal of the infamous "up in the air" inventory system
- Improved item stacking mechanics
- Working torches
- Consolidated all Player stats/info and added health/mana meters
- Random stat rolling replaced by point-pool system
- Handles terminal resize events
- Removal of some unfair game mechanics (ie. Chance for chaos storm to teleport player into the sea of chaos, resulting in unavoidable instant-death)
- Many bug fixes
