Welcome to my Javascript Linrodeth Not-a-Roguelike
You've recently become a master painter and have managed to buy a small property in the ward of Oldgate which you've setup
as a small shop and business. As you're a guildmember and property owner, you're now an elector for Oldgate. You've seen that the
best way to help yourself get rich (or, at least, not end up in so much debt to the goldsmiths that you're just working for them),
is to get involved in politics.
Can you become the alderman for Oldgate?

Based on Wayland Games rule set 2014a, but you can modify the rules!
[+] More specific options and modifications
You're represented by the @ sign. Use the cursor keys or the numeric keypad to move. '>' represents stairs up and '<' stairs down. Press > or < (as appropriate) to move up or down the stairs. You can dig by trying to move into a wall and you attack by trying to move onto a creature. 'I' to view your inventory, 'D' to drop items and ',' (comma) to pick up items. 'W' to wield an object in your sword hand, '[SHIFT]+W' to wear some armour, 'S' to wield an object in your shield hand and 'U' to use/consume an item.
I have created some browser based games including two based in the Linrodeth universe. They're all either ASCII games or HTML games. They all use Ondrej Zara's rot.js javascript library (though often just for the random number functions). The roguelike game Spider Caves also uses Alexandru Marasteanu's sprintf javascript library and is based on Dominic Charley-Roy's Coding cookies blog.
Will, eventually, be an xxx Manager style game for Sumo - or maybe not depending on how development/creation goes! Currently it does simulate most of a Sumo honbasho.
In the past I've written plenty of games on my (now retired) BBC micro and Archimedes computers. Obviously1 these aren't hosted here (or actually on any currently working computer I own) although one of them, Snazzy Snake has the source code hosted here. I also, in my youth, wrote games for the Commodore Pet - but that's really showing my age 🙂

Footnotes
Of course there are emulators for both of these, even emulators that run in the browser - however the code is on discs that would now be very hard to recover the data from. That's a shame ↩
