Yeah, I was playing the browser version. That was probably it. By the way, this might seem like a noob question but how did you get started with procedural generation? What would you suggest if I wanted to get started with it?

Hey, it is a neat game. Definitely loved the art-style and the music. I would love to see where it goes.

With that said, a few things I would note:

1) The controls feel restrictive at times. When the enemy is right next to me, the enemy has a much easier hitting me. If the enemy corners me against a wall, they can easily land multiple hits before I can fight back (which is also how I died).

2) The sword can hit through walls. This is probably a bug, but when the enemy is another room but right next to the wall common to both rooms, I can easily hit him without taking damage.

3) This happened just once, but apparently, the command for move RIGHT got stuck. The player kept moving right, even when I lifted the key. I couldn't replicate this, so it might be one of the accidents that happen once every 100 times.

Bookmarked.

I picked up Crime and Punishment a few years ago, but had to put it down, due to both foreseeable and unforeseeable circumstances. How would you introduce it if you were to recommend it to someone?

Yes, this was another one of the books I read last year. I liked how it separated the world into internal and external. I realized how much smoother life became once I focused on living with an internal set of principles, rather than external expectations.

While I understand the sentiment of learning by building, would it be appropriate to build a large software system in such a manner?

What you said resonates with me. I would like to talk to you in detail. Can I PM you?
