For the 2011 7dRL Challenge I wanted to do something even more difficult than Earl Spork, so naturally I opted to do a 3D rogue-like!
In the one week allowed by the challenge, I created EmoSquid. It’s a full 3D movement Rogue-Like with fun music add in. The version linked here only has one song, but more can be added. Check the readme.txt file for more information on adding songs. If you know me, ask me for the full song version 
One of the fun components of EmoSquid is that as you level up, you unlock new songs. There is also an animation of musical notes rising behind the status display which gains more notes as you level up, providing a visual display of the player’s progress.
The above link is for a bug-fix / features release post-challenge. The original in-challenge entry can be downloaded here. Note that this release has some bugs and is somewhat lacking in the feature department.
Example of Text As Graphics used in EmoSquid
screen to large foir my xp laptop–tried 800×600 still to large.(can’t read stats etc)
Emo Squid 4.0 was fine-asuuming that this is a simulated 3d.(3 rows containing 5 game windows per row)
Yep, simulated 3D it is.
Getting it to size properly was one of the new features in this latest release and while small resolution might make it impossible to tell what’s happening, it should all fit on the screen now
Latest release being 0.5
