What is BlockRogue? BlockRogue is a dungeon-crawling, quasi-Roguelike puzzle adventure game. Each room is procedurally generated using a complex algorithm, though the 325-room labyrinth is always the same in Story mode. Reaching Depth 25 will show you how to unlock the other game modes! Contest Entry BlockRogue was created for Dr. Dobb's Challenge Deuce. To satisfy the contest entry conditions, the Golden Infinitus from which you acquire secret knowledge is in the shape of the Visual Studio logo. BlockRogue won the contest! About the Creator My name is Stan Patton. I made the code, music, art and story for BlockRogue. I live in Eugene, Oregon with my wife Kerry, who is very patient and accommodating when I get obsessed with projects like this one. You can send e-mail to extremestan at gmail.

<- back to game I found out about the contest when it had already been underway for a while, and thus found myself with 20 days to learn Silverlight, overhaul the Dr. Dobb's engine code, come up with a working puzzle generation algorithm, and create all the art, music and writing.
