# I've begun working on my Roguelike game for the 7DRL
|
||||
|
||||
Okay, so today I started Dungeon of the Day (working title), for the 7 Day Roguelike challenge 2021.
|
||||
|
||||
# Devlog Day 1
|
||||
|
||||
i started by creating a an array of arrays (2d array) to 'hold' the level. i looped through it to assign a blank characters, at first a zero, but now a period. it took me some time to figure out how to properly point to a x,y position properly with this method. argh. lots of trial and error and i copy-pasta one line i didn't really understand from stackoverflow but understand what it outputs and worked backwards. actually, here it goes. this is cool. separately, maybe i can revisit making my own processing-derivative drawing parser in ascii. ok ok, that's a later project. anyway, i can now address a grid of text with x,y coordinates. great. proud of myself! lol. i have a grid of periods.
|
||||
|
||||
next i pick a random x,y position on the grid for the player. drop an @ there.
|
||||
|
||||
now i save to an external file. i think a core mechanic of my game will be that you can only play one move a day. inpsired by michael brough's vesper.5 'ritual'-game where you can (only move one square a day). that game got a lot of notice. oh, but it wasn't ascii. and it was 7 or 8 years ago. argh. anyway. i think i like this idea. and it's doable. and even though the command line and ascii art does not appeal to my 'art' base, my hacker phreaks like this, and i like this too! lol. it's not visual though. michael's work is so appealing because it speaks its own visual language. should i just work in p5 again? i have a half-engine for roguelikes in p5. maybe i could revisit? but way, i like this idea of a "Message of the Day" (Dungeon of the Day?) roguelike where it's in the command line, since that's my primary interface on my computer. i mean i'm typing in the command line now.
|
||||
|
||||
the concept is loosely that it's an ambient game. when you open a new terminal window the board (perhaps) is displayed as the message of the day. you can make one move a day. (how?). other than moving, maybe you can also use an item, talk to npc's, buy something at the market? or maybe you can move up to 3 different characters, like Lost Vikings (o.g. nintendo game that i liked that there doesn't seem to be any modern clones of).
|
||||
|
||||
okay, need to figure out more core mechanic/compelling gameplay. an ambient game is nice perhaps but needs some juice to make people want to play this and not skip over it.
|
||||
|
||||
other roguelike ideas i'd been thinking of but maybe not this time:
|
||||
* monome teletype-based roguelike for my modular synth. moving/fighting/spells would each play a different sound. i wish i could plug a nintendo/snes controller though instead of a keyboard. i guess i could use a numpad instead. each number to trigger a different script, for each direction and maybe 0 for something.
|
||||
* use p5.js to make more out-there experimental compelling visuals, a la a Broughlike
|
||||
* use Lua. which i really enjoy, and there are (brough-like again!) tutorials for
|
||||
* use pico-8 which i also enjoy, and is a subset of Lua with extended API, and i have some tutorials and previous experience on. i particularly love how it combines a CLI with visuals on same screen. i wish i could do this with p5/js.
|
||||
* use my PLOGO logo-language to make a roguelike. kind of a funny idea. also, i did built a console into it.
|
||||
|
||||
anyway.... no end of (bad) ideas
|
||||

# Day 1 1/2
|
||||
What should terrain look like?
|
||||
|
||||
Old PETSCII? ZZT? (Can i get this with unicode or do i need to load a special font in the terminal, and then have to package that font? Can node do this?
|
||||
|
||||
oh wait, or should i just do this. it's easy. emoji.
