ruby
Ruby is a great language. It’s object-oriented in all the right ways, and the syntax is so simple, it reads like pseudocode.
I’ve been creating my very own roguelike using ruby. It took me a few false starts, but I am now using ruby’s built-in curses bindings. Click here to see the window setup I have decided to stick with. The big blank spot in the upper left is where the actual gameplay map will show up. The bottom is for narration/log of encounters and whatnot. The upper right is for character status, hp/mp/poisoned/hungry, that sort of thing. The lower right is for inventory, and the contents of chests/bags/etc.
For those interested in how I got that stuff to appear, it was as easy as this:
@map_win = Window.new(16, 60, 0, 0)
@map_win.refresh
border_win = Window.new(12, 20, 0, 60)
border_win.box(0,0)
border_win << ‘Status’
border_win.refresh
@stat_win = Window.new(10, 18, 1, 1)
@stat_win.refresh
border_win = Window.new(12, 20, 12, 60)
border_win.box(0,0)
border_win << ‘Stuff’
border_win.refresh
@stuff_win = Window.new(10, 18, 13, 61)
@stuff_win.refresh
border_win = Window.new(8, 60, 16, 0)
border_win.box(0,0)
border_win << ‘Travel Log’
border_win.refresh
@log_win = Window.new(6, 58, 17, 1)
@log_win.scrollok(true)
@log_win.refresh
end
