package myworld;
use base 'Games::Roguelike::World';

 $r = myworld->new(w=>80,h=>50,dispw=>40,disph=>18);     # creates a world with specified width/height & map display width/height
 $r->area(new Games::Roguelike::Area(name=>'1'));                       # create a new area in this world called "1"
 $r->area->genmaze2();                                   # make a cavelike maze
 $char = Games::Roguelike::Mob->new($r->area, sym=>'@', pov=>8);      # add a mobile object with symbol '@'
 $r->setvp($char);                                       # set viewpoint to be from $char's perspective
 $r->drawmap();                                          # draw the active area map from the current perspective
 while (!((my $c = $r->getch()) eq 'q')) {
        $char->kbdmove($c);
        $r->drawmap();

}

DESCRIPTION

Library for pulling together field of view, character handling and map drawing code.

• ::World is the main "world" object
• uses the ::Console library to draw the map
• assumes the user will be using overridden ::Mob's as characters in the game

Please also see the examples and test scripts located in the "scripts" directory included with this distribution. Some of the examples are fully working mini-games.
