roguelike-tutorial-cpp VS Axes-Armour-Ale

Looking back, a lot of work not directly related to the game. E.g. a month-long attempt to make a tutorial (aka: make a constrained mini roguelike) which didn't get finalised as a tutorial, but got finalised as a product (look up last project). Here's the code](https://github.com/byte-arcane/roguelike-tutorial-cpp).

It's in a bit of a cryostasis. I released the final project, and I started making changes backwards and cutting features as per plan, but roundabout part 2 or 3 I was not happy with the leap required, and I'm overall I was unhappy about some abstractions (or the lack of some others). So to prevent the extra stress and time pressure from seeping into the main game dev, I paused it. It's still online and available, but text is written only for the last project, and the code works as expected from project 4 (or 3?) onwards.

C++ tutorial. So the final project code is now complete, and available on github. What's missing is installation instructions (if you know how to use vcpkg and cmake from command line, that's all you need though) and the actual week-by-week write-ups. I've thought of a 14-part structure, which will funnel in during the next month, and slightly deviates from the structure of the existing libtcod tutorial. If you're curious, have a look, any questions, give a shout. When it's done, I'll make a top-level post.

Hey, since you asked, here's the repository. I'm done due to time constraints, certainly not ideal (it never is), but I need to get a move on with my game... I have a clumsy batch file to build on windows, but I'm pretty sure you can manage. Have a look at the notes.txt to get an understanding of the scope/complexity

It's not a great illustration, but the result looks like this https://github.com/cyberfilth/Axes-Armour-Ale/blob/master/GITscreenshots/Linux_dungeon.png

I added another location to the map on Axes, Armour & Ale https://github.com/cyberfilth/Axes-Armour-Ale So next I'll be looking to add overworld encounters and a village / town location.

This coming week I plan on procrastinating a little more with different dungeon styles. My game has several different environments so far, with more planned. So I get to play around with cellular automata, BSP and other techniques. https://github.com/cyberfilth/Axes-Armour-Ale

Released an alpha version of Axes, Armour & Ale

There's a screenshot of how it looks in my game (using thinner walls) at https://github.com/cyberfilth/Axes-Armour-Ale

All code, previous releases, and a growing collection of bugs are kept at https://github.com/cyberfilth/Axes-Armour-Ale

This week has been a week of refactoring... not intentionally though. I'd planned to start adding multiple dungeons all over the overworld map. But every time I started to add this, I found a previously undiscovered bug in some part of my code. My save file was duplicating saved data in several places, and not reading it back correctly when reloading the game. So I've streamlined the save/load process and, touch wood (taps head), think that I'd squashed all the bugs now. https://github.com/cyberfilth/Axes-Armour-Ale
