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

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.
