Looks pretty slick, I'm going to have a go at it when I get some time. http://ignifuga.org/features/ Also compiles for linux (64 bit), OSX, and Windows (32 bit). More OS support coming apparently. Looks like it was developed as recently as February, but not a very old project. May be interesting to fork though, if someone finds use out of it.

You can see it here: https://github.com/newz2000/dungeon-game (it's open source, apache 2 licensed). Basically, we started making a super simple D&D game on paper with some dice. We had fun making characters but the dice were tedious so I suggested writing a little code. We gradually moved more and more of the game into Python until everything is there except the map. In order to run the game you have to write python code, though it's very simple. Initially you enter a room like this: room(6) Then if there's a monster in the room you attack it like this: player_attack() Unless you kill the monster, you have to give it a turn like this: monster_attack() Back and forth you go until someone dies. If you beat the monster then you may get treasure! You explore more of the dungeon in the same way. Then comes more fun because you can customize the game. You can give your characters names, which teaches strings, you can add new monsters which introduces lists and dictionaries, you can also add new types of heroes which teaches classes and inheritance. It's a lot of fun for middle-school aged children. There are no fancy graphics and the actual game play will not entertain them for long, but they do love to create new monsters. :-) We'd love to hear your thoughts. We found out a colleague of mine from Argentina has two sons that have been hacking on it, which really made my son's day. -- Matthew Nuzum newz2000 on freenode, skype, linkedin and twitter ?
