McRogueFace - 2D Game Engine

An experimental prototype game engine built for my own use in 7DRL 2023.

Blame my wife for the name

Tenets:

• C++ first, Python close behind.
• Entity-Component system based on David Churchill's Memorial University COMP4300 course lectures available on Youtube.
• Graphics, particles and shaders provided by SFML.
• Pathfinding, noise generation, and other Roguelike goodness provided by TCOD.

Why?

I did the r/RoguelikeDev TCOD tutorial in Python. I loved it, but I did not want to be limited to ASCII. I want to be able to draw pixels on top of my tiles (like lines or circles) and eventually incorporate even more polish.

To-do

• ✅ Initial Commit
• ✅ Integrate scene, action, entity, component system from COMP4300 engine
• ✅ Windows / Visual Studio project
• ✅ Draw Sprites
• ✅ Play Sounds
• ✅ Draw UI, spawn entity from Python code
• ❌ Python AI for entities (NPCs on set paths, enemies towards player)
• ✅ Walking / Collision
• ❌ "Boards" (stairs / doors / walk off edge of screen)
• ❌ Cutscenes - interrupt normal controls, text scroll, character portraits
• ❌ Mouse integration - tooltips, zoom, click to select targets, cursors
