A repo for the parts of the Haskell roguelike tutorial available at https://ppkfs.github.io. Each part of the tutorial is fully contained and iterative. Individual parts on their own are available in individual branches (thanks, git-subrepo!).
The structure of the parts has been shamelessly borrowed from the fantastic Rust+rltk/bracket tutorial available here.
- Section 0: Before we begin...
- Part 0.0 - Setting up the project. Printing a character to the screen.
- Section 1: The base game.
- Part 1.1 - Moving around with the keyboard.
mtl. --- this is up to where the written tutorial parts end. --- - Part 2 - Making some various basic maps. Better module organisation.
- Part 3a - Introducing game objects and the
Rogue.Objectsmodules. Hitting the edge of dealing with 'vanilla' Haskell. --- this is up to where the code has been reviewed and neatened up. --- - Part 3b - Introducing
optics- finally a solution to how awkward it is to do nested record updates (and state updates!). - Part 4 - Field of view and exploration.
- Part 5 - Monsters, pathfinding, and diagonal movement.
--- this is up to where the code has been finished. --- - Part 6 - Combat, killing things, getting killed. Modelling inputs as actions and events.
- Part 1.1 - Moving around with the keyboard.
everything after this part is the roadmap!
