gruid VS CyberRogue

I'll be doing the tutorial in python3 again so I don't get bogged down by language details, but I also considered trying out Go+gruid.

I started out using the Symmetric Shadow Casting algorithm provided by the RL lib I am using (https://github.com/anaseto/gruid) and soon managed to get something on the screen by using the HSV color space (https://imgur.com/kfXldLa).

Base game library is gruid , which is a game library build around grids which is absolutely perfect for rougelikes. I am also pretty into the ECS way of building games, coming from rust I have tried SPECs, Legion, and even Bevy (although bevy is a full fledge game library build around ECS).

You can try gruid. It should now be ready for use, as harmonist as been completely ported (not released a stable version yet, but the development version is playable. The library supports the terminal, SDL and the browser. I would gladly appreciate feedback on other using the library.

Have you considered using gruid? Even if you don't use the UI stuff (though it has roguelike-friendly features, such as replay), you could still use the paths and rl packages, that offer several pathfinding algorithms (including A* and its optimisation for grid-based games JPS), two field of view algoritms (including the new symmetric shadow casting, recently added into libtcod too), parametrable cellular automata map generation, vault manipulation and an event queue (to schedule effects). I would gladly welcome feedback using the library.

It's made with Unity and custom shader, that will not ruin pixel art. Here's link to project github with rewritten shader. Original shader was written by truepak.

This shader was orginally described here by greatestbear. Then it was rewritten to match URP here. Now I have rewritten it to match URP 10.2 here. It's free.

Well, the best news is that I managed to find an implementation of Texel Space Shading. This shader allows the same lighting value to be used for the entire texel. It sounds strange, but it's easier to show it once than to explain it a hundred times (here is a visual comparison). This way you can preserve pixel art, but still use light, which means the walls won't be flat and the signs will glow. Another interesting thing I discovered in Unity is VFX. It would seem - nothing special, but this technology allows you to make sufficiently high-quality effects for pixel art, if you round off the particle size and location to the desired values ​​- in the end we will get the generated pixel effect (vfx is noticable at comparison video). That's all for now. At this stage, the project is open, the link to the repository at github.
