Project Todo List

Here you will see what is left to complete before this engine is ready for sharing/production.

Scene/State Items

Each scene/game area can be considered as a scene. The stack can have scenes pushed on to it and in doing so the top most scene is the one executed during the game loop with all else effectively "paused."

• State Base
• Working Example of State system

Scene Rendering / User Input

Development of a Rendering Interface; the idea behind this is that the developer can choose the render driver, or develop one of their own. We will provide one for raylib and potentially gdamore/tcell.

• Render Base Interface
  • Default Raylib Driver Implementation
• Working Example of Raylib render driver

With the Raylib driver comes the concept of Spritesheets and Tilesets. This is because Raylib will be a "Virtual console":

• Raylib Tileset
• Raylib Spritesheet

Maps & Map Generation

• Map Base
• Map Camera
• Map FOV
• Default FOV implementation (and interface)
• Map Generation Interface
  • Roguelike Room Generator (example)
• Map Camera

Entities

• Entities Base

GUI Todo Items

The GUI system will be based upon that available in afolmert/libtcod-go but modified to work with our render engine implementation.

• GUI Base
• GUI Widget Base
  • Button Widget
  • Radio Button Widget
  • Toggle Button Widget
  • Status Bar Widget
  • Container Widget
    • Vertical Container Widget
    • Horizontal Container Widget
  • Toolbar Widget
    • Toolbar Separator Widget
  • Label Widget
  • TextBox Widget
  • Slider Widget
• Input Handling
  • Keyboard Events
  • Mouse Events
• Colour Themes
• Working Examples for all above

Special Thanks

A huge thank-you to Jice, Mingos and others for the libtcod library, Adam Folmert and others for libtcod-go; without either project this one would not exist. Another huge thank-you to /r/roguelikes and their discord community for both inspiration and help. #roguelikedev
