• Show HN: Engineering Games (List)

  I've heard about Screeps which is close to what you describe: https://screeps.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Games like Stone Story RPG

  I have tried Screeps in the past, and I'm not a huge fan. I really like Stone Story, but they do not have an easy way to take your saves across multiple platforms -- you have to manually import/export your save. Source: 8 months ago

• Helping a young coder

  -For JavaScript, my advice would be to introduce coding games. That way it's more fun and the environment would be set up better (less worrying about deep technical errors). The two games that come to mind are Bitburner (free) and Screeps (free offline/paid online), though they both have their own learning curves and require actual coding; so for a 9 year old YMMV greatly.

• SpaceTraders: A multiplayer game built on a free web API

  A good, existing example I'd like to show you is Screeps: https://screeps.com/ Personally, when I'm in the mindset of playing that game, I can't help but come back to my bot every 30 minutes to see if it's performing well. When I see that it's doing something strange, I take notes and can't stop thinking about possible solutions.

• Dijkstra Maps Visualized

  I believe the original author of most of this content was Brian Walker, creator of brogue, which uses Dijkstra maps to great effect. In my opinion, brogue is the greatest 'modern' traditional roguelike.

  The Ground Gives Way and Brogue(follow the link to the Community Edition) are, in my opinion, the best introductions to traditional roguelikes out there. Source: over 1 year ago

• Hades is the best-designed roguelike I've ever played

  To start, I would recommend Brogue or The Ground Gives Way. Both are very simplified and have an accessible, modern approach. Tales of Maj'Eyal, while more complex, also a more modern game feel to it that might be appealing. There are two main types of roguelike gameplay: dungeon delvers, and expansive open worlds. Both Brogue and TGGW are the former, so it's easy to jump into a game, get the basic idea, and get... Source: over 1 year ago

• Shovel Knight Dig - Review Thread

  Personally, I very much recommend Brogue (its subreddit). It's a difficult game, but it is free and will certainly scratch that problemsolve-itch. Say, you are on a stroll alongside a cliff, and you come across a nasty group of spearwielding goblins, backed up by priests that cover them in magical shields? This encounter is not a nut that you can crack by engaging them head on, as you only have a dagger as of now.... Source: over 1 year ago

• Quick question regarding copyright and old roguelikes!
