7D Mad Rogue Kart

Submitted to the 7DRL Challenge 2023 

7D Mad Rogue Kart is a rogue-like, turn-based kart racing game, build in one week during the 7DRL 2023. Your goal is to finish first, while racing against characters you might be familiar with. ;)

You can also throw some obstacles in their way - but be aware: You are not the only one with this ability...

7D Mad Rogue Kart uses a custom engine, based on SFML. :)

Scope for the 7DRL

This game started from a prototype that was already SFML.Net / C# based. it featured a grid, which was already walkable, and a character, that could be controlled. All tiles (excluding the fonts) have been handcrafted by myself.

Note: The downloads WITHOUT any version info are the original downloads for the 7DRL jam. Each update afterwards will have a version number in it's name.

Which version should I download?

If you are here to judge the game for the 7DRL, download the version without the version number in it. If you are just here for the fun, pick the one with a version number. :)

Config

The root folder inclues a config.ini, where some settings can be changed:

Setting	Default	Comment
ResolutionWidth	1280	-
ResolutionHeight	720	-
EnableVSync	true	Note: For the final 7DRL, if your camera freaks out occasionally, try to set this to `false`. This bug surfaced after the submission deadline.
Mod	default	-
Seed	-1	When set to `-1`, the total amount of seconds that have been passed since midnight are being used as the seed.
MapSize	128	I would rather not recommend messing with that setting... But I won't stop you, either.
