It doesn't teach on its own, but the libtcod-vcpkg-template can help with quickly setting up Vcpkg and libtcod in a cross-platform manner. Parts might need to be updated to work with C++20 or later. This template also creates Emscripten builds.

Cannot get libtcod to compile properly using vcpkg on Fedora Linux
Hello all. I'm trying to get the libtcod example project to compile, but seem to be running into errors at every step. When I compile normally and run the binary, I get the error:
-
C++ and libtcod; linker errors
I've just checked, and Visual Studio can build/run the libtcod template. So if you setup a CMakeLists.txt to use Vcpkg then your project should run even without VSCode's CMake Tools plugin.

RoguelikeDev Does The Complete Roguelike Tutorial - Week 1
I'm working in C++17 and doing the ancient C++ tutorial on RogueBasin. I'm starting from the libtcod C++ template and plan on using the latest libtcod features rather than the older ones taught by that tutorial. My new repository is here.

C++ libraries for ascii graphics?
Libtcod's Vcpkg template could work for your conditions. The tools it uses are cross-platform, using VSCode as the IDE rather than Visual Studio, but running CMake manually should work also.

Are there any actual full tutorials for installing libtcod with vcpkg and cmake?
I've made this template project, but I've since modified it so that I can use it to develop libtcod with, so right now it only uses Vcpkg to fetch the dependencies for libtcod and then builds libtcod from a submodule. This template is complete as-is and will compile and run if you follow the instructions.

I've updated the C++ template project to upload build artifacts (listed as automated-builds in any passing workflow.) It also automatically publishes builds as GitHub Releases when you push an annotated tag to the repository. I added one of the libtcod fonts too so that it's clear how to handle data assets in a project.

Installing libtcod c++ on Linux/Ubuntu
The GitHub releases don't include a Linux binary, you'll have to compile it yourself. The easiest way is to use the template project which is cross-platform.

Game screen: write terminal emulator or use libtcod?
Libtcod itself uses SDL2. It maps tile glyphs to a texture atlas and maps Unicode codepoints to tile positions. Then it has another data structure called a console which has the background color, foreground color, and codepoint for each tile on that console. It then uses SDL_RenderGeometry to quickly render the background and colored glyphs to an SDL texture, skipping unchanged tiles as an optimization, then renders that texture to the window. The C99 source is here: renderer_sdl2.h renderer_sdl2.c, a C++ version would surely look better.

what minor tech projects do you absolutely adore?
libtcod has always been a favorite of mine. Does a lot of things to zero fanfare outside the indie roguelike scene.

I've ended up recovering the old 1.3.2 to 1.5.0 builds of libtcod. You can find them on the GitHub releases page. Most of, maybe all of the other places which had these builds are down, but thankfully Jice still had copies of these builds.

The 7DRL Challenge 2022 is announced! Create a complete roguelike game in 7 days.
libtcod support for terminals is in progress at least for ANSI true colour, and I have a minimal compatibility layer for UNIX only.
What are some alternatives?
