\subsection{The Purpose of the Project}
The goal of the project is to produce a reimplementation of the orignal Rogue computer game, originally developed by Michael Toy, Glenn Wichman, and Ken Arnold in 1980. The gameplay of the reimplementation should mimic that of the original whenever possible. The objective of the rewrite is to produce a copy in a modern language, using modern design principles, with superior documentation and a full test suite. The original Rogue is of historical interest as it forms the foundation and is the namesake of the roguelike genre of games, typified by their randomized environments, difficulty, and permadeath features. The motivation for this project is the poor condition of the original source code. The original source was not written with readability in mind, and designed for extremely low-performance systems who required some unusual design patterns. The version of C in which it was written is very old, which hinders compilation or feature extension. The intended audience for this document is the stakeholders of this project, especially Dr Smith and the 3XA3 TAs.
\subsection{The Stakeholders}
\subsubsection{The Client}
The client of the project is Dr Spencer Smith. Dr Smith commissioned the project and will be overseeing its production. Dr Smith provides the specifications for this document, as well as other aspects of the project, including the test suite, and all documenation. In addition he will be evaluating the final product.
\subsubsection{The Customers}
The project customers are the players of the game. It is expected that this will consist primarily of players of the original, as well as players and developers of later roguelike games. The roguelike community has a strong open-source tradition, so a modern, well-documented Rogue could be a valuable starting point or inspiration for projects by other teams.
