Author here! Thanks for posting! This game is written in a Clojure-like programming language I've made. So this is a (B)rogue-like in a Clojure-like :) What I think is interesting is that this game computes the entire world state each tick and does so efficiently thanks to persistent data structures. To anyone who dared to fire it up: thank you for playing, I'm curious what you think!

Is this a troll comment? I don't see where the author used AI to generate the code and if you don't see the point of experimenting with technology, you're on the wrong website.
You really don't see where the author uses ai? Pretty much everywhere, all the docs, the overview of the project, a LOT of the code is obviously primarily ai written, etc.

A fatal error indeed!
I killed myself with a flaming spear and the game said this: > FATAL ERROR: [program exited] "cannot subtract nil and let-go.lang.Int", :data {:trace ("game-loop ( )" "game-loop ( )" "update-world ( )" "run-until-player-turn ( )" "creature-turn ( )" "update-ai-state ( )" "distance ( )")}} A fatal error indeed!

So the author used the latest and greatest development tech to create a unique little demo in their custom language. I'm unsure your point. You know what I don't use to program with anymore? Punch cards and Borland C++. The industry has evolved for better or worse.
No idea what you think you are arguing. Are you in the wrong thread?
I said I don't get why people keep posting essentially vibe coded game clones... I get bored checking out GitHub projects on HN that are doing absolutely nothing new and are essentially baby projects made by Claude on a weekend, and terribly architected to boot. Cluttering the feed.

I'm interested in building something similar, any tips besides looking at what you've done and Brogue?
Isn't this the kind of thing you can essentially fully offload to Claude code these days? Don't really get the point of these tiny primarily llm generated game clones tbh.

Consider them prototypes. Like the games submitted to game jams.
