The birth(and eventual death) of a roguelike
« on: January 25, 2009, 06:58:21 pm »
So, I don't want to wait for the eventual official thread, and want practice for it, so I will start making my own roguelike.

This thread will document the progress.

Schedule:
  • 01/25/2009:
    • 6:56 PM: This thread was started
    • 7:19 PM: Gut old code from copy-pasted base
    • 8:09 PM: Basic drawing functions
    • 8:54 PM: String drawing
    • 9:18 PM: Debugging why the string drawing is not working(It was my old enemy: char vs unsigned char)
    • 10:11 PM: Simple keyboard input
  • 01/27/2009:
    • {ongoing} levels/characters planning
    • 6:26 PM: Level storage
    • {current} Level drawing
    • {next} Test character on level, reacts to simple direction movement

First off, good luck in your new (if a little cliche'd) beggining. however wouldn't this be better served in 'the other games' subforum?

also How long are you planning on making that list? you can have up to 40 KB of text in one post, you know...

I tried to play chess but two of my opponents were playing competitive checkers as a third person walked in with Game of Thrones in hand confused cause they thought this was the book club.

Yar, good luck  ;)

We're hammering out the details of the 'official' Bay12Games Roguelike Competition behind the scenes, but something like this is fine. So everyone else that wants to do something for the comp, feel free to start now and get some practice.

As well, all the posts i've seen you make are flame posts, barely if at all constructive.

Well, I plan to have more than one list item done each day, and maybe some details, maybe some images, so I don't know if it will ever get too big, but I would rather not find that 2 posts is not enough.

Not yet, maybe once I have a basic engine up and running.

Yeah, good luck with this.

Originality is always good, by the way. Why I say this, I'm not too sure.

I hope the eventual death will be one from old age.

Well, I got lazy about recording EVERYTHING I did, but now I too have an @ walking around the screen.
The blue tile is the current position of the mouse:)
The walls are visual only but spawned in-game.
