SDL2 Rogue tutorial

Thu, 30th September 2021

A new tutorial has been released! This one teaches the reader how to make a simple roguelike game. The goal is to ascend to level 13 and take down the Mouse King. On the way, you will need to contend with his many minions: Micro Mouse, Neo Mouse, Tough Mouse, Rabid Mouse, and Meta Mouse. A host of weapons, armour, and other items can be found to help you on your way.

The tutorial consists of 20 parts (even longer than SDL2 Gunner!) and can be found on the tutorials page, or by following the link below:

The tutorial source code is also available to purchase from itch.io, from the following page:

Binary downloads (for x86 Linux and Windows) for the game itself can also be found on itch.io at the following page:

This tutorial was actually planned to be much longer and involve things like ranged weapons, more equipment slots, destructable objects, fires, etc. Therefore, there are plans to release SDL2 Rogue Director's Cut, as a standalone game. Should this happen, the source code will also be made available for purchase, although it won't contain a tutorial.
