By Adam Smith on March 20th, 2012 at 6:45 pm. Preamble alert! The 7-day Roguelike Challenge is not new but this year it has drawn a record number of entries.

More than seventy roguelikes were created, by individuals or teams, in the seven days allotted. Back in 2008, when the excellent Fatherhood was an entry, there were only nine successful submissions. I deeply regret that I don’t have time to play seventy roguelikes but that is the truth of it, so I am grateful to Andrew Doull of the stirring Roguelike Radio for providing me with a shortlist.

For other platforms, you're going to have to compile them yourself. Other languages There are no known versions of this tutorial for other programming languages than Python, for libtcod 1.6.0. Here you'll find completed ports, one for Python 3 and libtcod (revising this tutorial "with good coding practices kept in mind from the beginning") and another for Python 3 and TDL, created by /u/TStand90 for r/roguelikedev Tutorial Tuesday 2017.
