Changelog

Unreleased - ××××-××-××

Gameplay

Changed the game mechanics to match the current web version of Progress Quest, which pqcli now plays exactly like, random rolls included (#21):
- Changed the time needed to level up to grow exponentially: levels come much faster early on and much slower past level 49
- Changed quests to be much shorter
- Changed stat gains that favor the best stat to only consider the six prime stats
- Changed item rewards on inventories past 250 kinds of items to sometimes add one more of something already carried
- Changed impressive characters in cinematics to be named in the new styles, such as "the Queen of the Half Halflings"
- Changed the cinematic texts to match the web version
- Changed acts to begin as their loading task starts
- Added the Chancellor, Baroness and Inquistor titles
Changed the random number generator to the one the web version uses, stored with each character; existing characters get a new one on first load
Changed roman numerals past 4000 to use the web version's T and A numerals
Fixed the plot bar staying empty during the Prologue
Fixed the quest log keeping 101 quests instead of 100
Fixed "an" not being used before words starting with Ü

Customization

Added data files for all word lists (monsters, spells, equipment, races, classes, titles and more), which can be replaced in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pqcli/data/ or a directory given with --data-dir (#3)
Added customizable combat descriptions (combat_verbs.json), which say "Executing" by default (#3)
Added --dump-data DIR to copy the built-in word lists out for editing (#3)

Saves

Added importing and exporting characters as .pqw files, the format of the web version, from both interfaces and with --import-save and --export-save (#21)

Installation

Added a Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml to run the game in a container, with saves kept in a persistent volume
Added character creation on first run when there are no saved characters yet

Development

Added tests, including gameplay traces and a comparison with the web version's own code (just test)
Added a justfile
Changed the hooks to prek, with ruff in place of black and isort, ty for type checking, and a 50/72 commit message check
Removed poetry.lock
