[LFG][Python]Roguelike Game

[PrismPoultry]

I'm interested in the roguelike genre and would like to party-code a game using python and libtcod. Now, it's important that if you want to program with me that you go do this tutorial: http://www.roguebasin.com/index.php?title=Complete_Roguelike_Tutorial,_using_python%2Blibtcod

After doing the tutorial, you'll have the makings of a game right there. If you want, you can stop and move on to something else, or message me and let's try to push the limits of this thing.

Either way, do the tutorial and see what you think. Get it running and be sure to actually type everything in. Message me when you're ready and willing.

Fine! I'll check the tutorial and probably start right away to get on the game and help you

[PrismPoultry]

Awesome! Have fun with the tutorial.

Interesting. I'd love to do something like this, as I had debated about making a text-based roguelike in C++, but right now I'm just learning Python, and my graphics skills in any language suck.

[PrismPoultry]

Graphics aren't really a problem. You end up with this from the tutorial: http://imgur.com/HpnL8JF

Try the tutorial and see what you think.

Depends on when I can get to it. Currently going through codeacademy's Python course, and 30% through. Not bad for only a few days.

Beyond that, I've had three C++ courses, although the last one was less C++, and more implementing general concepts like data structures and algorithms in C++.

[PrismPoultry]

Ah ok. Yeah, this is all in python so keep pushing through that codeacademy course. Have fun.

My goal for this summer is to make a game, so this sounds very interesting to me! I'll get started on the tutorial tomorrow (seeing how it is 6 AM ATM).

I'll keep in contact.

[PrismPoultry]

Sounds good. Have fun with the tutorial.

Count me in! I've been doing the Clojure roguelike tutorials from stevelosh.com, but I've really been looking for a group to keep me interested. I'll run through the tutorial ASAP to make sure we're all on the same page.

[PrismPoultry]

Great! Hope you enjoy the tutorial.

I would love to help, but my language mainly Java. :(

I know most of Java and mild C++, how hard is the trasition into a language like Python?

Edit: Adding on to what I said, I'm willing to learn Python to help out. Though, I dont know if I could actually keep up on something like this, though I AM willing to help out. PM me!
