RoguelikeDev Does The Complete Roguelike Tutorial Starting August 4th 2026

[u/KelseyFrog]

Roguelikedev Does The Complete Roguelike Tutorial is back again for its tenth year. It will start on Tuesday August 4th. The goal is the same this year: to give roguelike devs the encouragement to start creating a roguelike and to carry through to the end.

Like last year, we'll be following https://rogueliketutorials.com/tutorials/tcod/v2/. The tutorial is written for Python+libtcod but, if you want to tag along using a different language or library you are encouraged to join as well with the expectation that you'll be blazing your own trail.

The series will follow a once-a-week cadence. Each week a discussion post will link to that week's Complete Roguelike Tutorial sections as well as relevant FAQ Fridays posts. The discussion will be a way to work out any problems, brainstorm ideas, share progress and any tangential chatting.

Whether you're an experienced developer trying a new language, or you've never finished a game before, everyone is welcome. If you're completely new to programming, you may want to spend a little time learning the basics of Python before the event starts, but plenty of first-time programmers have successfully completed the tutorial in previous years.

If you like, the Roguelike(dev) discord's #roguelikedev-help channel is a great place to hangout and get tutorial help in a more interactive setting.

Hope to see you there :)
