Programming / Re: How to make a roguelike in java?

https://github.com/SquidPony is a Java full-service text and graphical tile roguelike (or any grid game really) library. I've used it for all of my several 7dRLs and several other projects. Which is no surprise, I made it

You can see in my source for Assault Fish (at the link above) how to do some really cool things with it, like Perlin Noise and transparent overlays, and animations.

You can also see other things I've done with it at my site http://squidpony.com/

I think i will be using this.

Dang, that is pretty cool. And with libgdx. I'll definitely be checking it out.

I will also be checking it out.

Yeah, I don't think curses is very widely used for RLs anymore. Doesn't curses have some compatibility problems with Windows? Some Java RLs include Legerdemain, lots of stuff at slashland.co … Throwing together a system to display characters on the screen isn't very difficult. In short, mushroom patch is just pulling your leg, I think

As always,

Guilty as charged, although the OP's assumption that roguelikes should be written using curses or other libraries suitable for the UNIX terminal or telnet connections is correct.

Mushroom patch you lied to me?

No, unfortunately, Java lacks roguelike support.

Yes this is unfortunate...
It seems as though my only option is to learn C++.
Thank you for your help, mushroom patch.

I couldn't find any tutorials.
Is there any way to make a roguelike in java?
