A downloadable game for Windows

About the game

A simple, open-source roguelike/math game written completely in AutoItv3
OS: Windows only
Dependencies: None & no install required
Release Date: February 23, 2022

TabulatioN is a quickplay Windows-based game where you use basic math skills to make your damage exceed the enemy's HP to defeat them. There are 12 important items that modify encounters in different ways, making enemies easier to defeat, adding time to your timer, adding turns, or one exceedingly rare item with special effects and buffs.

You have five turns to defeat each enemy. Each turn is timed, and will alternate between choices that add to your damage, and reduce your damage. On positive turns, choose the highest addition, and on negative turns, choose the lowest deduction.

Score sharing:

You can share your score with friends! When you complete a game, click "Share", then paste (Ctrl+V) in Discord, Facebook, wherever.

Some things:

  • Default volume is 50%. The Options menu includes a volume slider and a mute button.
  • There are 6 enemies.
  • There is a tray menu. Just sayin'!
  • This program uses the Monotype font Century Gothic. If you don't have the font installed, the text used may look a little offset and jagged. To install the font, download it here, and unzip it into your c:\windows\fonts directory.

SECURITY NOTES:

To avoid having the user download and install AutoIT, the game folder includes all dependencies needed to run the game, and uses a batch file to run the source code directly through the official, digitally-signed included AutoIT3_x64 executable. That said, the official executable still picks up one false positive on nearly all scanners. If you have any doubts, look through the source code and replace the AutoIT3_x64.exe with a copy obtained through the official AutoIT website, found in the Self Extracting Archive. https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/downloads/. It's the same exact thing.
