Roguelike Tutorial 2022

Tags: Video Games, Technical, Javascript

As a distraction from other things I should have been doing over the last 6 weeks, I completed the /r/roguelikedev Tutorial 2022. An event to teach people how to write roguelike games like Nethack, Angband, and my old favourite, Omega. I wanted to learn some Javascript, and this seemed a good way to go.

It is done now. There is a playable version here and the source code is here.

The controls are:

• movement/target: arrow keys or wasd (+qezx)
• look: ‘/’
• pickup: ‘p’
• message history: ‘v’
• drop/leave: ‘l’
• activate/use/equip: ‘u’
• character screen: ‘c’
