In the interest of providing Sunday an example of my gamedev work, I'm going to vomit up a quick and dirty roguelike. I'm going to use C++ and SFML, because I'm familiar with them.
Devlog will be fairly informal. I'll try to keep it up to date as I go.
Should be similar on both Windows and Linux -- cmake should take care of the dependencies and whatnot. I've only tested on Windows, though.
git clone "https://github.com/nhammond129/ONRL"
cd ONRL
mkdir build
cmake -B build -S .
cmake --build build
./build/ONRL || build/Debug/ONRL.exevi-like movement: hjkl for left, down, up, right (respectively.)

Requires C++20 for <source_location>
But otherwise it's pretty standard. -
The console rendering is terribly crude, but it should let me do some pretty cute things with how the world looks. I don't have anything fancy -yet- but some noise in the colors used for walls/floors/etc would be super easy.
I've got a window up and running.
I spent some time fiddling around with padding to get the gutter between the glyph grid uniform on all sides. Wasn't necessary, but it was annoying me >_>;
i made a map class. (and a homemade pizza. it was great.) no actual map generation yet, just a random 2d array of tiles. Spent a while reading about map gen stuff. I'll probably just do some bsp + some CA style annealing to "smoof" it out.
👀 Sorry I haven't pushed this up to github yet lol.
I actually won't be around this weekend, since on Friday I'm going up north to visit my mother, and I won't be back until Sunday night or mid-Monday. I know time is pressing, but it'll certainly be something "playable" before I go.
I slapped down some crusty code to get a player on the screen, so here's that.
Just arbitrarily dropping him at 5, 5 for now, and there's some basic collision checks.
I've got a basic map generator working. It's a simple BSP, with some cellular automata to smooth it out into something more cave-y. Refactored map tiles.
Made dinner, ate dinner, did some packing, and threw together some monster stuff. Also, I forgot I also had a doctor's appointment tomorrow, so I'll have less time than I thought. I'll probably be able to throw on some more stuff in the morning.
They walk around and eat "moss" (green , tiles), walking randomly otherwise.
I tinkered around with better ideas of things to do with the moss, but none of what I was doing looked aesthetically pleasing, so it's just sorta... there for now.
