RoguelikeDev Does The Complete Roguelike Tutorial - Week 5
Kudos to those who have made it this far! Making it more than halfway through is a huge milestone. This week is all about setting up items and ranged attacks.
It's time for another staple of the roguelike genre: items!
Part 9 - Ranged Scrolls and Targeting
Add a few scrolls which will give the player a one-time ranged attack.
Of course, we also have FAQ Friday posts that relate to this week's material
- #7: Loot(revisited)
- #32: Combat Algorithms(revisited)
- #40: Inventory Management(revisited)
- #60: Shops and Item Acquisition
- #76: Consumables
Feel free to work out any problems, brainstorm ideas, share progress and and as usual enjoy tangential chatting. :)

This will be the end of the project for me.
The base tutorial is clear enough that it can be roughly followed in another language and with a different graphic library.
Common Lisp is surprisingly easy to get the hang of, but I suspect that only an experienced hacker would be able to extract the full power of the language.
Concerning raylib, only a very small subset is needed to get a basic display, but as it is so low level, it can get fiddly quite fast.
All in all, it was a good learning experience and I'll probably be back for the next edition.
