L-Moria is an adaptation of Robert A. Koeneke's classic roguelike Dungeons of Moria, based on Umoria 5.7.15 (the C/ANSI maintenance release of the 1983 original), rewritten in Lua for the Luato engine.
It aims to be a faithful port: dungeon generation, item and monster tables, combat mechanics, store haggling, and the RNG call order all follow the original C source closely, so play should feel like the real Umoria.
- Monochrome text UI on a 25x80 character grid (640x400 logical canvas)
- The full Umoria feature set: town with six shops, the 50-level dungeon, character classes, spells/prayers, stores with haggling, wizard mode, ...
- Standard ("original") and roguelike key bindings (
?for help in game)
L-Moria runs on Windows using the Luato runtime:
- Get the latest release package.
- Drag and drop the
L-Moriafolder onto theluato-25x80.exeexecutable.
The save file is stored by the engine's sandbox under
%APPDATA%\LUATO\l-moria\game.sav.
In game, press ? for the command list, v for version history, and
Ctrl+Alt+P dumps the screen grid to a text file for debugging.
