rot.js VS emacs-ng

I can recommend rot.js. It offers both ascii and tileset support.

ROT.JS is a great library for making quick roguelikes and being in javascript means you can inspect the code. It has a number of map generation algorithms that you can mess around with to make interesting dungeons. https://ondras.github.io/rot.js/hp/

Lost Gardens of the Stone Heart is a browser game in traditional ASCII style, written in Javascript with the ROT.js and Tracery libraries. Or, at least, it will be when it reaches that magic critial mass of features and things actually happening and coalesces into something deserving the adjective.

The code is Open Source (like everything on CodePen) and anyone can modify the game to add more features. I just want to share it here so someone maybe will create something more fun with it. It uses ROT.js library. Note that the code was created quite some time ago and it's written in ES5 version of JavaScript.

I've been looking through the rot.js source, but it doesn't seem like it's currently possible to change the border color of a hex. Does anyone have experience with this?

Surprising. I've not used rot.js but I haven't found Canvas too bad for a real time game I'm working on (60 fps with 50x25 onscreen tilemap on my phone). ROT also has a WebGL backend available.

Thanks! I am using [rot.js](https://ondras.github.io/rot.js/hp/) map generation primitives and then layering stuff on top of that. I'll probably introduce an "outside" at some point with caves and forests you can explore.

I used ClojureScript and ROT.js to build it.

It sounds like you want something high scope. However, if you're asking what engine you should use then it sounds like you haven't got a prototype yet. Which would be faster to make in Javascript - there's libraries like ROT.jd to speed things up.

This is exactly what emacs-ng does?

https://emacs-ng.github.io/emacs-ng/

> This project should be considered an additive native layer over emacs, bringing features like Deno's Javascript and Async I/O environment, Mozilla's Webrender, and other features in development. emacs-ng's approach is to utilize multiple new development approaches and tools to bring Emacs to the next level. It is maintained by a team that loves Emacs and everything it stands for - being totally introspectable, with a fully customizable and free development environment. We want Emacs to be a editor 40+ years from now that has the flexibility and design to keep up with progressive technology.

I guess it uses webrender instead of electron?

Now I'm failing on this instead: https://github.com/emacs-ng/emacs-ng/issues/218

Presumably because of emacs-ng [1], from the page " additive native layer over emacs, bringing features like Deno's Javascript and Async I/O environment, Mozilla's Webrender,".
