People seem to like my roguelike tutorial!

For those who want to try making your own roguelike in java, here's the links to each of the 20 posts in my little tutorial I did a few years ago. I try to take it one small step at a time, explain why I'm doing what I'm doing, teach a bit of programming, and move forward with each post.

01 Java, Eclipse, AsciiPanel, application, applet

02 input, output, modes, and screens

03 scrolling through random caves

04 the player

05 stationary monsters

06 hitpoints, combat, and messages

07 z levels and deeper caves

08 vision, line of sight, and field of view

09 wandering monsters

10 items, inventory, inventory screens

11 hunger and food

12 weapons and armor

13 aggressive monsters

14 experience and leveling up

15 help, examine, and look screens

16 throwing and ranged weapons

17 smarter monsters

18 potions and effects

19 mana, spells, and magic books

20 item appearance and identification
