Roguelike with a first-person 3D viewport

Tech

Written in python using libtcod. It's kinda slow, but it works, and I didn't have to write a terminal renderer from scratch which is nice.

How to run

Requires Python 3 installed (I used 3.8) https://www.python.org/downloads/

$ git clone https://github.com/TechniMan/firstpersonroguelike
$ cd firstpersonroguelike
$ virtualenv venv
$ ./venv/Scripts/activate  # (add .bat for Windows cmd)

> pip install pillow
> pip install tcod
> python engine.py

When you're done with the virtual environment, simply enter:

> deactivate

Controls

Use the direction keys left and right to rotate 45degrees either direction, and up to move forwards. Use g to pick up an item you're standing on, i to open inventory to use an item, and d to open inventory to drop an item. Walking into an enemy will attack them.

• up: move forwards
• left: turn 45deg left
• right: turn 45deg right
• down: move backwards
• g: pick up an item you're standing on
• i: open inventory to use an item
• d: open inventory to drop an item
• numpad 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9: move in that direction relative to the map
• esc to quit

To-dos

• entity textures render badly from corners
• entity textures scale oddly with distance
