JSRL (JavaScript Roguelike Template) is a basic roguelike you can build upon to create your own.

In this repo you will find a bare-bones roguelike with tile and character-based displays, and tools to bundle it for the web or as an executable.

Check out the online demo at: https://slashie.net/jsrl

What is this good for? the idea is: you take this simple game and start adding and transforming it into what makes your roguelike unique!

Features

  • Player can walk around
  • Raycasting Field of View algorithm
  • Player can move between persistent levels
  • Enemies move around chasing the player
  • Player can pick up, drop and use items (including using items on a given direction)
  • Player remember visited maps
  • A simple Being class based on Races definitions, with random and follow player intents
  • A simple Item class based on Item Type definitions
  • Infrastructure for Level Generation
  • Line wrap text boxes

How to use

JSRL is designed for you to take a snapshot of the repository, and then part ways with it to create your game.

Tutorials on how to create your game around the basic codebase will come soon.
