Break Out Of Hareka's Underground (Boohu) is a roguelike game mainly inspired

from DCSS and its tavern, with some ideas from Brogue, but aiming for very

short games, almost no character building, and a simplified inventory.



*Every year, the elders send someone to collect medicinal simella plants in the

Underground.  This year, the honor fell upon you, and so here you are.

According to the elders, deep in the Underground, a magical monolith will lead you

back to your village.  Along the way, you will collect simellas, as well as

various items that will help you deal with monsters, which you may

fight or flee...*

You can visit the [game's

website](https://download.tuxfamily.org/boohu/index.html)

for more informations, tips, screenshots and asciicasts. You will also be able

to play in the browser and download pre-built binaries for the latest release.



Install from Sources

--------------------



In all cases, you need first to perform the following preliminaries:



+ Install the [go compiler](https://golang.org/).

+ Set `$GOPATH` variable (for example `export GOPATH=$HOME/go`, the default

  value in recent Go versions).

+ Add `$GOPATH/bin` to your `$PATH` (for example `export PATH="$PATH:$GOPATH/bin"`).



### ASCII



You can build a native ASCII version from source by using this command:



+ `go get -u git.tuxfamily.org/boohu/boohu.git`.

  

The `boohu` command should now be available (you may have to rename it to

remove the `.git` suffix).



The only dependency outside of the go standard library is the lightweight

curses-like library [termbox-go](https://github.com/nsf/termbox-go), which is

installed automatically by the previous `go get` command.



*Portability note.* If you happen to experience input problems, try adding

option `--tags tcell` or `--tags ansi` to the `go get` command. The first will use

[tcell](https://github.com/gdamore/tcell) instead of termbox-go, which is more

portable (works on OpenBSD). The second will work on POSIX systems with a

`stty` command.



### Tiles



You can build a graphical version depending on Tcl/Tk (8.6) using this command:



    go get -u --tags tk git.tuxfamily.org/boohu/boohu.git



This will install the [gothic](https://github.com/nsf/gothic) Go bindings for

Tcl/Tk. You need to install Tcl/Tk first.



With Go 1.11 or later, you can also build the WebAssembly version with:



    GOOS=js GOARCH=wasm go build --tags js -o boohu.wasm



You can then play by serving a directory containing the wasm file via http. The

directory should contain some other files that you can find in the main

website instance.



Colors

------



If the default colors do not display nicely on your terminal emulator, you can

use the `-s` option: `boohu -s` to use the 16-color palette, which

will display nicely if the [solarized](http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized)

palette is used. Configurations are available for most terminal emulators,

otherwise, colors may have to be configured manually to one's liking in

the terminal emulator options.



Documentation

-------------



See the man page boohu(6) for more information on command line options and use

of the replay file. For example:



    boohu -r _



launches an auto-replay of your last game.
