What programming "paradigm" do you guys use for your ASCII / Roguelike games?

• geotic

  1 175 1.5 JavaScript

  Entity Component System library for javascript

If you're using javascript I can't recommend geotic highly enough. I've used it on a bunch of games myself and have always had a pretty good experience. It's not a pure ECS architecture as it encourages logic in your components and events but that's mostly because it's based on talks given by the devs from ADOM and COQ - both of which seem to use ECS-like architecture. The repo has some nice example projects worth a look.

• bitECS

  2 839 4.5 JavaScript

  Functional, minimal, data-oriented, ultra-high performance ECS library written in JavaScript

I also used bitecs which is a far more "pure" implementation of ECS. It was fine and the developer is super active, but personally I found that geotic included some patterns out the box that were kind of a pain to reimplement on my own.
