Traditional Roguelikes (Turn-based) / Any open-source games similar to Dwarf Fortress and Ultima Ratio Desgum?

« on: April 08, 2016, 10:27:02 PM »

I am fascinated with the world building procedures that the Dwarf Fortress and Ultima Raito Desgum have. Is there any other games similar to these games that are open source for research purpose? If there a demo program (open source as well) that I can review the codes for better understanding, I would appreciate it.

P.S. I just remember that Minecraft have world building abilities too.

Hello RPG programmers,

I found a game called zomband at http://www.roguetemple.com/2007/05/10/zomband-and-no-this-is-not-an-angband-variant-p/

The only thing that caught my interesting is console like screen in the middle of the game screen. Does anyone know how to do that? It look like a challenge to code it.

Thank you for any replies,

I am curious about RPG history why the hero or the player tends to get this ascii character '@'? Why not this '☺'? What was the first RPG game to use it? It seems very common to use '@' in most of the text RPG games I have seen so far.

« on: April 15, 2013, 07:13:52 AM »

Hello RPG programmer,

I am a newbie when it come to programming a RPG game.  I am wondering what is the popular IDE and curses library to use to create RPG games? I have MSVS 2010, and Netbeans on my computer. Does any one ever use PDcurses or libtcod with MSVS 2010 and how to do it? 

Much appreciate for your time helping me,
