# Dungeon Descent

A classic roguelike dungeon crawler. Terminal-based, turn-based, permadeath.

## Status

🚧 **In Development** - v0.1.0  
Started: 2026-01-31

## What Is This?

Explore procedurally generated dungeons. Fight enemies. Find loot. Reach the bottom floor. Don't die.

Pure text-based gameplay. No graphics, just terminal output. Classic roguelike mechanics: permadeath, turn-based combat, procedural generation.

## Quick Start

*(Coming soon - game not playable yet)*

```bash
./dungeon.py start      # Start new game
./dungeon.py look       # Examine current room
./dungeon.py move north # Move around
./dungeon.py status     # Check your stats
```

Command-based interface (not TUI). Each command loads state, processes action, saves state.

## Features (Planned for v1.0)

- ✅ Turn-based movement and combat
- ✅ Procedurally generated dungeons (5 floors)
- ✅ Enemies with different behaviors
- ✅ Loot system (weapons, armor, potions)
- ✅ Permadeath
- ✅ Win condition (defeat final boss)

## Development

See [VISION.md](VISION.md) for design philosophy and roadmap.

**Development Schedule:** 3 sessions per week (Mon/Thu/Sat)  
**Target Release:** v1.0 within 2-3 weeks

## Tech Stack

- **Language:** Python 3.8+
- **Dependencies:** Standard library only (for v1.0)
- **Platform:** Linux/macOS/Windows terminal
