Note: If you happen to use another platform than Mac OS, you can install Swift and make use of the Swift package manager to install the ncurses headers.Here’s an example on how to do that. DoomRL (or Doom, the Roguelike) is a roguelike video game for Microsoft Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, whose setting is based on the first-person shooters Doom and Doom II. It was created by Kornel Kisielewicz using Free Pascal and SDL. Roguelike games supporting Mac OS This list represents both games that have been compiled natively to Mac OS X and games that were developed in Java and are therefore platform independent. The only Java based roguelikes on this list are the ones that have been tested explicitly on Mac OS X, but you can also browse the full list of Java Roguelikes.
Listed below are the most recent DRL binary downloads. If you do not know which file you should download, you probably want the Windows installer (first file below).

Note about the Mac OS X version — compared to the last release we have a proper self-contained bundle finally! However, if you have your Mac configured to accept only signed apps, you’ll need to manually allow DRL to run after installation (Ctrl-Right click the App and choose Open) — if you have any problem installing, feel free to ask at the forums!
Note about the Linux versions — you’ll need SDL, SDL_mixer, SDL_image and libpng installed, and smpeg if you want to use the HQ versions. On some linux distro’s mp3 support is not enabled in SDL_mixer — a workaround has been posted on the forum .
Additionally a low quality version is supplied. It is generally deprecated — but if your system doesn’t run MP3 files properly, you want a small portable version or for any other reason, here they are.
