It is intentionally text-first, emphasizing imagination, procedural content, replayability, and squad tactics rather than graphical assets. ### Project history The README credits Andres Loeh for 2008-2011 copyright and Mikolaj Konarski and others from 2010 onward, placing the game in the long-running Haskell roguelike lineage that also produced LambdaHack. The project is distributed as source, native binaries, a browser-playable build, and a Hackage package named `Allure`. The homepage frames the game as a departure from classic single-character roguelikes: the player controls a squad, time and factions operate across persistent levels, and combat uses deterministic mechanics with procedural world generation and AI decisions providing variation. The README names long-term goals of replayability and auto-balancing through procedural content generation and persistent content modification based on player behavior. ### Adoption history Allure of the Stars is niche rather than mass-market: its official channels include Hackage, GitHub releases, a browser build, Homebrew for macOS binaries, public issue tracking, Discord, and Matrix. Its adoption is mostly within the Haskell, roguelike, and procedural-generation communities rather than mainstream game stores. For package managers, the game is unusual because it is both a playable roguelike and a showcase for the LambdaHack engine. Homebrew packaging matters because the README explicitly calls out Mac OS X binaries via `brew install allureofthestars`, with Homebrew handling dependencies. ### How it is used Users can play in the browser, install prebuilt binaries, install from Hackage with `cabal install Allure`, or install the Homebrew formula on macOS. The README documents SDL2 and ANSI terminal frontends, keyboard and mouse controls, screen-reader-oriented work in the ANSI frontend, and configuration through a generated user data directory. The game's configuration is written on first run to `~/.Allure/` on Linux or the roaming AppData Allure directory on Windows. Users can edit screen fonts, scaling, fullscreen behavior, key setup, and other UI options there. ### Why package nerds care Allure of the Stars is package-nerd catnip because it is a Haskell game shipped through Hackage, GitHub releases, browser builds, and Homebrew rather than the usual app-store channel. It also exercises real native dependencies such as SDL2 while retaining terminal-oriented frontends. The package name collision is memorable: `allureofthestars` avoids conflict with `allure`, while the upstream executable and Hackage package are named `Allure`. That makes it a good example of why package-manager names often diverge from upstream binary names. ### Timeline - 2008-2011: README copyright credits Andres Loeh for early work. - 2010-2021: README copyright credits Mikolaj Konarski and others for ongoing development. - v0.10.3.0: Changelog records a move from Travis CI to GitHub Actions and removal of older terminal frontends in favor of SDL2 plus ANSI/Teletype support. - v0.11.0.0: Changelog records substantial UI, testing, gameplay, and content changes. ### Related projects - LambdaHack is the Haskell roguelike game engine used by Allure of the Stars. - Hackage distributes the `Allure` package for cabal users. - SDL2 is used for the standard native frontend, while ANSI and Teletype frontends support terminal-oriented use cases. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
