esper VS GodotRoguelikeTutorial

That's cool, I didn't realize you had implemented an ECS library for tcod. At first glance it seems a bit more featureful than esper. The tags and relations functionality seem particularly useful for queries. l'll consider using it for the tutorial.

If you don't mind the broken type hinting then you could go with Esper.

I've been closely looking at the Python ECS libraries Snecs and Esper. I was hoping I could use one of them to fix the Python tutorial without making the tutorial about writing an entity-component engine. What I actually want would be a Python ECS library with NumPy for static types, but a library I did find for that didn't have a good enough license for a tutorial. For now I'll be okay with dynamic types just so I can fix my current problems, and I'll think about performance some other time.

I've been attempting to do this using an entity-component-system (specifically the Esper system). The difference being that I'm trying to explain my processors in separate documents first.

Not much to see/to do yet. I just wanted to try Esper and LDtk.

I'm currently following the sidebar's Godot tutorial , since I'm totally new to engines such as Unreal, Godot or Unity. i'm way more used to the "good old way", i.e. I program everything myself.

I'm working my way through this tutorial on setting up the basics of a roguelike tile system. Throughout the tutorial, the writer uses separate scripts to fill in basic string names, and I'm not clear on why this is necessary. For instance, in chapter 4:

But I ended up going to /u/Bozar42 Godot Roguelike tutorial (https://github.com/Bozar/GodotRoguelikeTutorial/wiki) because I feel the freedom a game engine, with this new Design Pattern (ECS), and procedural thinking, will give me the tools I'm looking for.

My personal recommendation is Godot, it has visual scripting if you want to try that route. I was trying out making tile-based worlds for a roguelike before I decided to go textbased for the tutorial series this sub is doing right now. To get started right away, I'd recommend the Godot tutorial listed here.

A nice feature of this project so far is that everything is condensed. I checked out the godot tutorial before going my own path. Right now the scene is four nodes with a single script governing everything.
