[Announce] RoguelikeLib (v0.1)

[Jakub Debski]

Hi,

I'm going to the mountains for a weekend, so just a small info for these,
who stay home :)
RoguelikeLib is a library that should help roguelike developers to solve
some common algorithmic tasks (like map generation, FOV, pathfinding...).

Now it's in very early stage of development, but I'll improve it in free
time. It's BSD licensed and place in SourceForge has been requested.
The source code is C++.

www.alamak0ta.republika.pl/RoguelikeLib.zip contains sources and Win32
executable demo.

regards,
Jakub

Looks like some nice doungeon generators!

Can you please include a Makefile in addition to the visual studio
project?

Ido.

thanks.
That's just a beginning. Soon I will add pathfinding, FOV calculations and
some basic algorithms like "bresenham line".

It's very simple project that should compile without additional libraries.
For which platform and compiler you need makefile?

A GNU Make/gcc makefile would be nice and would be usable on almost any
platform.
I would personally use it under Linux.

Ido.

Well... Personally I've never used any automake apps and makefile syntax is
magic for me ;) Even under linux I've been using IDE (KDevelop/Anjuta),
both generate makefile by project settings.

If you could provide makefile to this library, it would be great :)
Library and test file (main.cpp) compiles by "g++ *.cpp", so makefile
should be simple.

I've done version 0.2, which has path-finding implemented and some changes
to internal data structures.

Do you think I should put FOV calculations too, are everyone uses libfov
already? ;)

Maybe something like that should work:

OBJ= main.o RoguelikeLib.o

all: rllib

rllib: $(OBJ)
g++ $(CFLAGS) $? -o $(BIN) $(LDFLAGS)

I know I use libfov, but maybe you could incorporate the libfov code
into your lib(it's GPL IIRC) and have an interface that's consistent
with the rest of the lib.

Ido.

Thanks, it works :)

I just started a new thread, lets see what the others think.
