programming.dev is a collection of programming communities and other topics relevant to software engineers, hackers, roboticists, hardware and software enthusiasts, and more.
The site is primarily english with some communities in other languages. We are connected to many other sites using the activitypub protocol that you can view posts from in the “all” tab while the “local” tab shows posts on our site.
🔗 Site with links to all relevant programming.dev sites
🟩 Not a fan of the default UI? We have alternate frontends we host that you can view the same content from
ℹ️ We have a wiki site that communities can host documents on
⚖️ All users are expected to follow our Code of Conduct and the other various documents on our legal site
🏘️ Want to create a new community? Please follow our Community Guidelines
❤️ The site is run by a team of volunteers. If youre interested in donating to help fund things such as server costs you can do so here
💬 We have a microblog site aimed towards programmers available at https://bytes.programming.dev/
🛠️ We have a forgejo instance for hosting git repositories relating to our site and the fediverse. If you have a project that relates and follows our Code of Conduct feel free to host it there and if you have ideas for things to improve our sites feel free to create issues in the relevant repositories. To go along with the instance we also have a site for sharing small code snippets that might be too small for their own repository.
🌲 We have a discord server and a matrix space for chatting with other members of the community. These are bridged to each other (so you can interact with people using matrix from discord and vice versa.
Golem: A Self-Made Person! is a traditional roguelike with a twist. In it, you slay enemies and incorporate their parts to your own body.
Golem is made with Python, using pygame and Pygcurse. I’m not following any tutorial or using any premade roguelike library, so it’s mostly made from scratch.
Try the alpha version now.
Two years ago I started to follow RogueBasin’s roguelike C++ tutorial, a somewhat outdated tutorial in term of good practices and C++ version, but very on point in term of roguelikes.
My goal when I started Pataro what quite ambitious: I wanted to make a modern C++ roguelike from the tutorial, and write an updated version of said tutorial to help the community! Even better (or worse, in term of choosing your goals) I thought I could make a modern C++ roguelike library for people to use.
I got the first 9 parts of the tutorial working pretty smoothly, having set up an architecture inspired by Bob Nystrom about game architecture with roguelikes in mind (great talk by the way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxI3Eu5DPwE). Then I got to a big hurdle: saving and loading. Having used a lot of polymorphism, it makes quite hard to load correctly things and I stopped there.
Then a few weeks ago, I picked up the project again, with a much lower set of goals in mind:
Calls for talk submissions are open for two more weeks for October’s event.
Recommend diving through previous year’s events for some really interesting talks and presentations. https://www.roguelike.club/
Welcome to the roguelikedev community on programming.dev. I’m still figuring things out.
Feel free to share progress on current projects, ask technical questions, and talk about your expectations of this community.
