About

Castle of the Winds is a tile-based RPG made by Rick Saada in the late 1980s, remembered fondly by many old-school RPG players. This is a browser-playable port of Castle of the Winds written in Elm, and the author's third attempt (after two earlier projects) at bringing the game to modern web and mobile platforms. It's built from source with the Elm compiler and a build script, and development has been sporadic.

Getting started

Install Elm, clone the repository, run the included build script to compile the Elm source into JavaScript, and open the resulting index.html in a Chromium-based browser.

History

This is the author's third attempt at porting Castle of the Winds to the web, following two earlier abandoned projects, and the author kept a devlog chronicling the effort.
