CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA
Cataclysm DDA
Cataclysm-DDA is an open-world survival game and turn-based roguelike set in a post-apocalyptic world. It functions as a simulation where players manage resources, engage in combat, and handle character progression in an environment where time only advances when the player takes an action.
The project includes a procedural world generator that creates randomized, persistent environments and city layouts, ensuring unique maps for every new game session.
The simulation covers tactical movement and resource management through turn-based strategy gameplay. It also provides options for personalizing the control scheme via customizable input mapping.
