I've ported my old Png2Rex for C++ over to Rust. It's currently exactly the same, just native Rust - so i don't have to fire up a C++ environment to use it. I expect it'll improve a bit, I have a few ideas - and the Rust image system is really powerful. It was interesting porting such a simple tool, and highlighted the differences in development philosophies. The C++ version baked in its own PNG reader, because dependencies are such a pain. This time, I just imported image with the png feature flag. Likewise, instead of including a Rex Paint reader/writer, I just imported the one from bracket-lib and used it. The result? I made this tool, including unit tests and far better error handling, in about 30 minutes. :-)

RoguelikeDev Does The Complete Roguelike Tutorial - Week 1
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).

Trystans AsciiPanel in Go
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.

Roguelike in Go Tutorial
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.
