Dose Response

=============



Dose Response is an open-world roguelike where you play an addict.

Avoid the dangers threatening your mind and body while desperately

looking for the next fix.



Building The Code

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



Have a look at the `DEVELOPER-NOTES.md` file in this repo or:



https://github.com/tryjumping/dose-response/blob/master/DEVELOPER-NOTES.md



How To Play

-----------



You control the `@` character on the screen. You can move in the four

**cardinal directions** (up, down, left and right) and four **diagonal

directions** (north-east, south-east, north-west, south-west).



For in-game help click on the `Help` button or press `?` while playing.



`%` represents food that you can pick up and use later.

Stepping into food will pick it up automatically.



`i` is a dose and the player consumes it when stepping on it. It

destroys nearby monsters and expands your field of view.



When coming off a dose high, you'll enter into a withdrawal state.

In this state exhaustion starts increasing, too much exhaustion and you lose.



You can eat food (or find another dose) to stave off the effects of withdrawal.



When you have an item you can use it will appear in

your inventory in the sidebar next to a numeric key. You use it by

pressing the corresponding key.



Quick Tips:

* At the beginning, you can overdose very easily

* Doses differ in purity, sometimes you come across a weak one and

  other times it's the bomb

* You build up tolerance so you'll eventually have to consume more and

  more doses or move onto the stronger stuff

* It is possible to win the game



## Controls



The game is controlled by keyboard. There are three keyboard schemes

you can use:



### Numpad (recommended)



The Numpad is the simplest control scheme to understand, each key

corresponds to its 8-way movement counterpart.



Use `8`, `2`, `4` and `6` keys to move up, down, left or right.



To move diagonally, use `7`, `9`, `1` and `3` to move north-west,

north-east, south-west and south-east.



If you have a laptop or a keyboard without a numpad the following

keyboard schemes are available.



### Arrows keys + `ctrl`/`shift`



Use your `up`, `down`, `left` and `right` keys to move

in those directions.



To move diagonally, pressing `control` and `left`/`right` means "north"

and pressing `shift` means "south".



So to move north-east you hold `control` and press `right`. To go

south-west you hold `shift` and press `left`.



### Vi-keys



Use `k`, `j`, `h` and `l` to move up, down, left or right.



To move diagonally, press `y`, `b`, `u` and `n` to move north-west,

south-west, north-east and south-west.
