Development Process & non-technical / Looking for project with web integration

« on: January 01, 2015, 04:23:33 PM »

Hi! My name is Alex and I'm a developer
I'm looking to join the team of roguelike project as a web developer to write custom server and integrate game with it.

Some information about me:
* Worked on own roguelike project in the past (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgiBl8kH82g&list=UUtDAqYmcCmazWYqkTeEwSGQ)
* Created several open-source projects (https://github.com/dnbard)
* A lot of experience with Javascript(frontend, backend) and C#(backend and desktop)
* Working as full-stack web developer in cloud project
* Want to spend my free time to integrate mature roguelike with the web

I have some ideas on what can web add to singleplayer roguelike game:
* text chat between players
* saving memorial information about died characters
* ranking board
* saving characters to cloud
* provide realtime statistics
* and I'm open to your ideas

Hope to find interesting projects here.

Regards,
Alex.

Is it a forum about roguelike games or an imageboard? at least we need posters done in ASCII style

ps: Dredmor and Isaac in this year list and Diablo 3 next year ?

I completely agree with you. 185 completely different games, which should not and can not be compared with each other.

Hey man this was fun to play, keep up the good work. The only thing is that I wished there was a way to play this on linux, which is my primary machine.

Thanks!
As i know c# program could be compiled on linux using mono ... but i've never done this before ) i will try to make a linux version.

btw there is a new version of Ignite - http://roguetemple.com/forums/index.php?topic=1986.0

The screenshot works for me, but is of 0.038 instead of this new version.  

I changed the version number in the last minute.
Screenshot is up to date, need not to worry

Programming / Re: Migrating old saved games

« on: November 25, 2011, 09:43:07 AM »

You can write separate loading functions for every game version (and generate missing data for old save files)..
but

I think the whole thing a waste of time and a non-issue, but if you have some free time then why not.
