r/RoguelikeDev Tutorial 2018

At r/roguelikedev we're doing a dev-along following The Complete Roguelike Tutorial. Come and check this out!

I'll be diverging a bit from the main Python tutorial by implementing Esper's entity component system. I'll be also using python-tcod for it's new console class, and numpy arrays for the game map.

Current Features

• Contains over 50 classic roguelike monsters
• 20 different kind of items (all throwable)
• Able to generate 4 different map types:
  • irregular rooms
  • long passageway
  • monster nest
  • large opening
• Support 3 input configurations for player movement:
  • arrow keys (Infra Arcana style, ctrl/shift for diagonal movement)
  • vi keys
  • numpad
