RogueLike Toolkit in Love

=========

Bringing [rot.js](http://ondras.github.io/rot.js/hp/) functionality to Love2D. The only modules that require Love2D are the display modules.

See [this page](http://paulofmandown.github.io/rotLove/) for a quick and dirty run down of all the functionality provided.

Included:

 * Display          - via [rlLove](https://github.com/paulofmandown/rlLove), only supports cp437 emulation

                      rather than full font support.

 * TextDisplay      - Text based display, accepts supplied fonts

 * RNG              - via [RandomLua](http://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3424).

                      Multiply With Carry, Linear congruential generator, and Mersenne Twister.

                      Extended with set/getState methods.

 * StringGenerator  - Direct Port from [rot.js](http://ondras.github.io/rot.js/hp/)

 * Map              - Arena, Divided/Icey/Eller Maze, Digger/Uniform/Rogue* Dungeons.

                      Ported from [rot.js](http://ondras.github.io/rot.js/hp/).

 * Noise Generator  - Simplex Noise

 * FOV              - Bresenham Line based Ray Casting, Precise Shadow Casting

 * Color            - 147 Predefined colors; generate valid colors from string; add, multiply, or interpolate colors;

                      generate a random color from a reference and set of standard deviations.

                      (straight port from [rot.js](http://ondras.github.io/rot.js/hp/))

 * Path Finding     - Dijkstra and AStar pathfinding ported from [rot.js](http://ondras.github.io/rot.js/hp/).

 * Lighting         - compute light emission and blending, ported from [rot.js](http://ondras.github.io/rot.js/hp/).

 * Dice             - Roguelike based dice module ported from [RL-Dice](https://github.com/timothymtorres/RL-Dice).
