Maybe try RubyMotion. An example text field: http://hashnuke.com/2012/07/16/rubymotion-button-text-field-and-alert.html

If you want something like this, take a look at T-Engine.

You know, you don't have to make a roguelike. Make the game you want to make, and if it turns out it isn't a roguelike, that's fine.

How do you move? If it's numpad, I can't do anything on a laptop.

Pixel Dungeon was greatly inspired by Brogue.
Right now the roguelike of the fortnight at /r/roguelikes is POWDER, which has pixelated graphics.

Pathos is getting multiplayer stuff. I don't know if development has finished yet though.

Have input modes for each screen. Keep them in a stack, so entering targeting adds targeting onto the stack, and canceling takes it off. Events are passed to the topmost mode, and optionally can be bubbled down through the rest of the input modes.

Design / Re: Supported movement keys?
« on: November 02, 2016, 05:47:45 PM »
Can you detect key up as well as keypresses? If you can, you can move diagonally by pressing two arrow keys at once, which is really nice, intuitive, and space-saving on a laptop.

If any of you are looking for a roguelike with no corridors, Ananias does this, which also fits with it being designed for mobile.

So how do you connect rooms? Do you think wider corridors are okay?

These sprites were made by Oryx for a game jam where RotMG was created. The originals are free, while some later ones made for RotMG are proprietary.

Programming / Re: Simple FOV on a hexagonal grid
« on: April 18, 2016, 06:17:47 PM »
Here's my approach described on reddit. And here's the corresponding code:
Code: [Select]
const xDir = [0, 1, 1, 0,-1,-1];
const yDir = [1, 0,-1,-1, 0, 1];
// displacement vector for moving tangent to a circle counterclockwise in a certain sector
const tangent = [
[ 0,-1],// \
[-1, 0],// -
[-1, 1],// /
[ 0, 1],// \
[ 1, 0],// -
[ 1,-1],// /
[ 0,-1],// \
];
// displacement vector for moving normal to a circle outward in a certain sector
const normal = [
[ 1, 0],// -
[ 1,-1],// /
[ 0,-1],// \
[-1, 0],// -
[-1, 1],// /
[ 0, 1],// \
[ 1, 0],// -
];
// round a number, but round down if it ends in .5
const roundTieDown = n => Math.ceil(n - 0.5);
const fov = (ox, oy, transparent, reveal) => {
reveal(ox, oy);
const revealWall = (x, y) => {
if (!transparent(x, y)) {
reveal(x, y);
}
};
for (let i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
revealWall(ox + normal[i][0], oy + normal[i][1]);
}
const polar2rect = (radius, angle) => {
const sector = Math.floor(angle);
const arc = roundTieDown((angle - sector) * (radius - 0.5));
return [
ox + radius * normal[sector][0] + arc * tangent[sector][0],
oy + radius * normal[sector][1] + arc * tangent[sector][1],
radius * sector + arc,
];
};
// angles are measured from 0 to 6
// radius - radius of arc
// start & end - angles for start and end of arc
const scan = (radius, start, end) => {
let someRevealed = false;
let [x, y, arc] = polar2rect(radius, start);
let current = start;
while (current < end) {
if (transparent(x, y)) {
current = arc / radius;
if (current >= start && current <= end) {
reveal(x, y);
someRevealed = true;
if (current >= 0 && current <= 2) { revealWall(x + 1, y - 1); }
if (current >= 1 && current <= 3) { revealWall(x , y - 1); }
if (current >= 2 && current <= 4) { revealWall(x - 1, y ); }
if (current >= 3 && current <= 5) { revealWall(x - 1, y + 1); }
if (current >= 4 && current <= 6) { revealWall(x , y + 1); }
if (current <= 1 || current >= 5) { revealWall(x + 1, y ); }
}
} else {
current = (arc + 0.5) / radius;
if (someRevealed) {
scan(radius + 1, start, (arc - 0.5) / radius);
}
start = current;
}
// increment everything
const displacement = tangent[Math.floor(arc / radius)];
x += displacement[0];
y += displacement[1];
arc++;
}
if (someRevealed) {
scan(radius + 1, start, end);
}
}
scan(1, 0, 6);
};

Traditional Roguelikes (Turn-based) / Re: Any open-source games similar to Dwarf Fortress and Ultima Ratio Desgum?
« on: April 09, 2016, 10:50:51 PM »
Cult was a failed kickstarter similar to these. I believe it is open source somewhere, but I haven't been able to find out where.
