Done with another week! Once again, I basically just followed the tutorial word for word while I try and figure out how to deviate from it in my spare time. I got a bit frustrated trying to make some changes last week, so for now I'm just keeping a list of things I'd like to try and any ideas I have for making them happen, and then I'll probably go back once the whole tutorial is done and start tweaking/messing with things. repo

Third time's the charm - or at least I hope so. Have done a few tutorials each year during/after the attempt only to mostly forget everything I've learned during the year between. Going to try really hard to follow along this year, managed to get through part 0 and 1 without many issues. Am probably only going to use Python/Tcod per the tutorial. I'd like to make something with an urban fantasy/anime-inspired theme. Here's my repo: https://github.com/RivalRoman/rogueliketutorial2021

I think having to use a terminal is the scary part for many people. rltk/bracket-lib can be used to get a similar look and feel if that's what's important, but it is geared toward roguelikes.

Maybe bracket-lib from the amethyst authors? I‘m currently working through that book and find the library quite intuitive and simple to use. It started out as a toolkit for rouge-like games but has been getting more general. On that note, I recommend the hands-on-rust book which teaches rust concepts while building games with bracket-lib. As you have read the book, I‘m sure you would get through the first chapters quickly.

https://github.com/amethyst/bracket-lib has a great integration with Bevy, designed for exactly this sort of thing.

I've been doing some experiments with terminal based games and landed on https://github.com/amethyst/bracket-lib It's not exactly terminal based in the sense that it actually runs on OpenGL by default. But that's a plus imho because dealing with the bits of the terminal window that can change outside of your control (like fonts, window resize, etc) is a giant pita. It does let you swap the backend to run on crossterm if that's what you really want to do but if what you're after is the aesthetic like I am having bracket_lib handling all that makes life so much better.
