Each summer people on r/roguelikedev create a roguelike game, following a tutorial. I followed the tutorial in 2020 and made this.

Each summer, the r/roguelikedev community has a tutorial series where we all follow along to build a roguelike. I had attempted it in 2018 but got stuck in the middle. I attempted it again in 2020 and made it all the way through.

I wrote mine in JavaScript instead of Python. Unlike some of the other JavaScript projects, I didn’t use node.js or a build step like webpack. It’s one html file and one js file included with a <script> tag. This is how I prefer to code small projects, and only switch to more organization once the project gets larger.

I wrote notes about how my version differs from the Python tutorial, especially around UI, where I used the browser’s HTML+CSS to build a UI instead of using a console menu.
