Roguelike Development

McRogueFace

I’m the developer of McRogueFace, a game engine based on SFML that ships an entire Python interpreter.

Goals:

• Rapidly make games that are essentially “move tiny pictures around a rectangular grid”
• Get just a little more graphical pizzazz than ASCII or text mode games.
• Write games entirely in Python, but frames without game logic are rendered entirely by C++ without calling the interpreter.
• Target audience: brand-new programmers, game jam developers, and AI researchers interested in environments for agents. T McRogueFace docs

TCOD Tutorial

• Updated tutorial code
• Updated tutorial lessons

I’ve updated the code for the TCOD python tutorial to support TCOD 19.3, as well as applying the refactoring throughout the earlier chapters as TStand90 himself mused.

The TCOD tutorials corresponding to the code I forked are still up at rogueliketutorials.com. The source for that website is available in TStand90/roguelike-tutorials-website.

I’d like to personally thank Tyler Standridge (TStand90) and Kyle Benesch (HexDecimal) for writing the original tutorial and licensing it openly for their foundation to be built upon.
