termbox VS rot.js

Most answers were a code-golf style with writing the full functionality in least number of lines of code. I took a different approach. Since some time already I wanted to try out Ratatouille - an Elixir toolkit for writing TUI (Terminal UI), based on termbox. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago

If you want to go lower-level, then I would recommend against ncurses, and instead start with notcurses or termbox. termbox has lots of language bindings, but the author is no longer maintaining it. Still, not a bad place to start from. If you do decide to get into ncurses, this doc can get you over some of the humps with keyboard/screen/mouse. Source: over 2 years ago

I can recommend rot.js. It offers both ascii and tileset support. Source: 10 months ago

ROT.JS is a great library for making quick roguelikes and being in javascript means you can inspect the code. It has a number of map generation algorithms that you can mess around with to make interesting dungeons. https://ondras.github.io/rot.js/hp/. Source: about 1 year ago

Lost Gardens of the Stone Heart is a browser game in traditional ASCII style, written in Javascript with the ROT.js and Tracery libraries. Or, at least, it will be when it reaches that magic critial mass of features and things actually happening and coalesces into something deserving the adjective. Source: over 1 year ago

The code is Open Source (like everything on CodePen) and anyone can modify the game to add more features. I just want to share it here so someone maybe will create something more fun with it. It uses ROT.js library. Note that the code was created quite some time ago and it's written in ES5 version of JavaScript. Source: over 1 year ago

Thanks! I am using [rot.js](https://ondras.github.io/rot.js/hp/) map generation primitives and then layering stuff on top of that. I'll probably introduce an "outside" at some point with caves and forests you can explore. Source: almost 2 years ago
