Welcome to Martin’s Infinite Dungeon!

In a land beoynd seven seas and seven mountains denizens of rec.games.roguelike.development newsgroup gathered to agree on a date for newly designed challenge. One of them announced:

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. Now, we must choose a week.

However, a potential attendant did not respond with a week choice. He wrote:

In a bad case of impatience, I started my seven day project last night at about 23:30 GMT.

Thus first official seven day roguelike has been born. A week later it was presented to public as MPR7DRL. Martin's Dungeon Bash (MPRDB) 1.0 was debugged version with some additional features. With time game evolved. Notably MPRDB bears quite a lot similarites to Rogue. Dungeon is discovered in exactly same fashion. One square of visibility in cooridors while whole rooms are revealed upron entering. Dungeoneering hero is described by only two main attributes: body and agility.
