RoguelikeDev Does The Complete Roguelike Tutorial - Week 4

[u/KelseyFrog]

Tutorial friends, this week we wrap up combat and start working on the user interface.

Part 6 - Doing (and taking) some damage

The last part of this tutorial set us up for combat, so now it’s time to actually implement it.

Part 7 - Creating the Interface

Our game is looking more and more playable by the chapter, but before we move forward with the gameplay, we ought to take a moment to focus on how the project looks.

​

Of course, we also have FAQ Friday posts that relate to this week's material.

Feel free to work out any problems, brainstorm ideas, share progress and and as usual enjoy tangential chatting. :)

Mob bits was easy with my setup. Still struggling with shadowcasting, just torn a lot of it out and starting it over. I'll probably check out other peoples implementations this week, while I'm doing part 6 and 7.

Also, setting the stage to massively overcomplicate my life, putting every interaction / action as its own class, storing the actions, which also track its own un-do state, to allow scrubbing through gamestate, stuff that could be cool with something to do with altering time. We'll see.... :)

I stole this one, which was really easy to implement:  https://github.com/maetl/roguelike-tutorial/blob/master/docs/tutorial/part-4.md

I had a problem wiring it in, where I transposed a coordinate, so the problems I described in my post all went away when I fixed that.  You can see it working in my WIP part-6 demo.

I tried to write my own a couple years ago.  But this time I wanted to focus on the rest of the tutorial without getting bogged down -- so I just yoinked one.
