What is a Seven Day Roguelike?
A Seven Day Roguelike is a roguelike created in seven days. This means
the author stopped writing code one hundred and sixty eight hours
after
they started writing code.

--------------
A Seven Day Roguelike (7DRL) can be written at any time. However, a
general agreement was reached that it would be fun to schedule a
specific week for a challenge. This allows the various authors to know
that others are also desperately tracking down a bad pointer reference
on the 167th hour.
The week has been chosen!
Within the week of March 8th to March 16th, you are hereby
challenged to write a roguelike in 168 hours!
To participate, follow these simple steps:
1) On or after February 8th in your time zone, post to
rec.games.roguelike.development that you have started work on your
Seven Day Roguelike.
2) Write a roguelike.
3) After 168 hours, if you have completed a playable roguelike, post
your success to rec.games.roguelike.announce! If not, post your lack
of results to rec.games.roguelike.development, where we will all
commiserate and agree that, given a few scant more hours, it could
have
been great.
Obvious Pedantic Note: If your region undergoes a Daylight Savings
shift during the course of your 168 hours, your end time will be one-
hour later than your start time to recover the hour lost due to
Daylight Savings.
Good Luck with your Roguelikes!
