nodelike

A node based roguelike

This repo is the basis of a series of tutorials in Javascript. Installing will get the latest version according to the author's development path; install at a given version to get the version relevant to that step in the tutorial.

This is part of a video series that comes as a reification of this Reddit thread on how to make a text-mode game in Javascript.

The end result is actually a simplistic tutorial on one way to look at being a programmer, which touches only on the node ecosystem. This is not a comprehensive "how to program;" just one quick bootstrap that lets a person see one approach, despite being new.

The end result is a playable console game, installable directly from npm.

The plan

We're going to:

1. Build the actual roguelike out in the major-version-0s
2. Rebuild the thing from the ground up as a plausible set of not-practiced-developer steps in the major-version-1s
3. Construct the website
4. Write the written tutorial steps, akin to the Reddit post
5. Make the videos

we do, in fact, need stinking badges
