Prism

A comprehensive traditional roguelike engine, built on top of LÖVE.

Features

• Geometer: a built-in live editor for testing, prefab creation, and level generation debugging/visualization.

• Collision: An easy way to define how movement through the level works.

• Multi-tile actors: No longer does a dragon need to inhabit just one tile!

• Animations: Liven up the world with a flexible animation system.

• Input handling: Easily handle input of all kinds, including textual inputs (like >) or combinations.

• Built-in modules: A suite of “extra” modules for common features like equipment, inventory, status effects, lighting, etc. that you can drop in or use as a base for custom implementations

“Traditional” roguelike?

Prism is geared towards classic roguelike games like NetHack or Brogue, turn-based games set in randomly generated grid levels. Other turn-based tactics games might also be a good fit.
