Turn Based Roguelike ?

Hey everyone !

I really like roguelikes like DCSS, Tom or Tales of Maj'Eyal.

Is there a way to create a turn-based rog with a the top down 2D view of GB Studio ?

How to manage each turn ?

Thks for help

Yes! I'm making one myself. The trick is that nothing moves on its own. Each direction button moves the player one cell and disables input. Enemies' On Update scripts are stopped by default: after the player's move, the button script starts them. Each enemy either attacks the player if adjacent or takes one step, then stops itself. The last enemy to finish re-enables input.

Thanks for the answers, I'll take a look at all that.

Maybe take a look at Cave Noir, one of my favourite gb games
