Recently I have been trying to make my own rouge-like. Please note that I am still a newbie to coding and only know the very basics. I have been able to make a working movement system but inventory, combat, and everything else is very difficult and I have not been able to figure out. I am looking to have some sort of 'skeleton' to use as base code. That way I will be able to use as a basic start. I in no way intend to make the game public at all, I just would like to use it as a experimental thin so I get used to making rouge-likes.

First thing is that it's rogue, not rouge. My second advice is that try to read source code of existing roguelikes and figure out what is happening there.

Don't now, reading other's source code is fairly difficult and need some skill already. Anyway, roguebasin articles (http://roguebasin.roguelikedevelopment.org/index.php?title=Articles) is fairly good place to start.

It depends on source code quality, which sadly is quite poor in most roguelike projecs. Still, I would argue for it, because you get an idea about the amount of stuff needed in a roguelike, even you can't understand every detail of the source code.

True that, it's what I had in mind when I was writing about difficulties.
