Welcome to the Gogue wiki!

Gogue (a portmanteau of Go and Rogue...I know, I know) aims to be a comprehensive Roguelike toolkit for creating Roguelikes in Go. I've built the library with the "general form" Roguelike in mind. Think original Rogue, Crawl, DCSS, etc, as well as the famous Rogelike tutorial (http://rogueliketutorials.com/tutorials/tcod/). Basically, its a set of tools to build the type of Roguelike I want to build, but if it ends up being useful for others, well, thats a bonus.

All code for this tutorial can be found here.
