RLTK - The Roguelike Toolkit

MIT Licensed, source-code on GitHub. Go to https://github.com/thebracket/rltk for the code.

It is written in modern C++, and aims to cover most of the pain-points of developing a modern Roguelike. It includes the following features:

  • A CP437 terminal, with various font and sizing options.
  • GUI Primitives to assist with creating a useful user interface.
  • Geometry helpers.
  • Path-finding helpers that try to be agnostic about the structure of your code, through templates.
  • A heavily templated, high-performance ECS (Entity Component System).
  • Helpers, such as a REXPaint file reader.

It is maintained by Herbert Wolverson.
