Earlier quoted context omitted.

No. For no particular reason. But there is generally little room for movement tactics, as you cannot flee from combat...

Oh good point. Can multiple things attack you at once?

No, only one.

It looks possible to have rooms generated that are impossible to exit. For example, I'm up to L3, and can't get out of the room with the stairwell. And on L2 part of the map is cut off from a similar map defect. Is that intentional?

No, all rooms shall be accessible. If not, it is a bug :/

It would have been useful when that elvish knight trapped me in a corridor and all I could do was talk to him (or kiss him - ew).

That wicked elf! Hopefully you will talk him out of that sticky situation.

FYI: A Seven-Day Rogue­like (7DRL) is a rogue­like cre­ated in seven days. That is, the author stopped writ­ing code 168 hours after they started writ­ing code. A 7DRL can be created at any time during the year. How­ever, general agree­ment was reached that it would be fun to sched­ule a spe­cific week for a 7DRL Chal­lenge.

P.S. I found Haxe by following some of the 7drl entries. But I think I would like to use Racket to make one one day.

This is incredible.

As someone who's wanted to try making something like this for a while but just doesn't know where to begin, can anybody recommend useful resources or suggestions on how to get started?

If it helps, I work mainly in C# and so would prefer that if possible, but this could be a good way to get familiar with a new language.
