Title: Examples to learn form
Post by: Jetter on December 17, 2011, 11:40:08 PM

Hello. I'm looking to make a small roguelike but I'm somewhat inexperienced at programming. I'm thinking about using C++ and PDCurses (though I'm open to suggestion if there's something better for newbies like me) but I'm not really sure where to start or how to use PDCurses.

I learn best from examples, so are there any preferably small and well-commented open-source games or good tutorials that I could look at to learn from?

Might not be exactly what you are after, but the author/developer spent months putting it all together and cleaning it up.

The Python libtcod tutorial is good too.
