[2022 in RoguelikeDev] Reflector: Laser Defense

Reflector: Laser Defense (itch.io|twitter|blog|github) Roguelike base-building in an hour
-
Recommendation for someone who likes CDDA? Something that is focused on base building (building a farm, mining, hoarding resources) but has decent combat.
I recommend my own game Reflector: Laser Defense but with a big caveat: it is much more puzzle-like and less simulationist than CDDA. Everything has a 1hp. The core mechanic is about reflecting and manipulating laser beams.

Rot js drawing at arbitrary positions?
Like some others, I use rot.js for some map gen and rng but for rendering I use a different library, pixi, which let's me use particles and animations. It's kinda messy, but you can browse my code here https://github.com/mscottmoore/reflector (src/lib/renderer)

Roguelikes where tiles represent bigger regions?
My game, Reflector: Laser Defense, sort of fits the description, but it might be at slightly smaller scale than you're looking for. A single tile in Reflector represents a big enough area for an entire building, or entire farm. You can't zoom in any closer.

Took a break from working on Reflector to participate in the 7DRL jam, this time with a couple collaborators: u/Lemunde doing the sprites and other art, and u/brightbone63 composing music and making sfx. I'll save my main write-up for the dedicated thread, but I'm really happy with how it came together. It was a rush at the end, and I'm not confident in the late-game balance, but it feels like a complete game.

Turn-based city builder a good idea?
I'm working on a turn-based base builder, Reflector: Laser Defense. There's an emphasis on tactical combat, the specific mechanics of which really wouldn't work well in real time (with or without pause). There's production and resource management as well, which works mostly how you describe. I think it works out alright, though it's sometimes confusing. Give it a try and let me know if you have any questions!

7DRL 2021 Brainstorming
If you want something with a little less magic, pixi.js is a good option. I believe phaser uses it under the hood. I use it to render the map in my game (non-map UI uses React). You can browse my messy Typescript code here. That said, for the 7DRL perhaps the extra magic of phaser will be nice.

How to detect when the terminal is resized
I've written an ASCII roguelike game that runs in the terminal, it draws the display using the Video unit. https://github.com/cyberfilth/ASCII-axe

Playable versions are available on the Releases page, it doesn't have even a fraction of the features that I want yet but it's a complete demo game that can be played and won (or lost).

This week I started adding projectiles to Axes, Armour & Ale. Nothing too advanced yet, just little Red Cap sprites who throw rocks at you. The hardest part was figuring out how to implement animation in the game loop. Axes runs on the terminal, so the animation blocks the main loop whilst it plays out. Projectiles are quite fast though, and I'm trying to balance the NPC distribution so that there aren't too many enemies throwing projectiles on screen at once. Animated GIF I also added the beginnings of the Game Over screen, it randomly chooses an ASCII art image like the one below. RIP Screen Next I want to add scrolls, spells and improved projectiles for the player (slings, bow and arrow etc). Actually my 'to do' list is much longer than that, but those are the low hanging fruit coding-wise. Test alpha versions are available here http://rogue-axe.tk/

The second challenge was bug fixing an issue where the game would occasionally freeze on the title screen. I've written a logging unit that only runs in Debug mode and spits out information about which functions are successfully being called. With it, I was able to diagnose the issue. The cave generator tries to place stairs at opposite ends of the map, occasionally though one half of the map would generate without any floor tiles and the game would hang. I've added an extra line that checks that each map generated has floor tiles on the left and right side of the level, discarding any that don't https://github.com/cyberfilth/ASCII-axe For bugfixing, the biggest help has been:
