What it does
Roguelike is an agent skill from gamedev-skills/awesome-gamedev-agent-skills. Build a roguelike: turn-based grid movement, procedural dungeons, permadeath, field-of-view, and loot tables. Use for a roguelike/roguelite or turn-based grid dungeon crawler with procedural levels.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/generation-fov-loot.md`).
It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Web scraping. The repository describes itself as: 74 game-dev skills for AI coding agents — Godot, Unity, Unreal, Phaser, PixiJS, three.js, Bevy, pygame, LÖVE, Roblox. Portable SKILL.md Agent Skills (the format Anthropic… The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- A roguelike/roguelite
- Turn-based grid dungeon crawler with procedural levels
Example prompts
- “/roguelike”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0a70cfc. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Roguelike loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 693 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- roguelike
- description
- Build a roguelike: turn-based grid movement, procedural dungeons, permadeath, field-of-view, and loot tables. Use for a roguelike/roguelite or turn-based grid dungeon crawler with procedural levels.
Roguelike
A playbook for roguelikes — the turn engine, procedural dungeons, field-of-view, permadeath, and run economy. This is a compositional skill: it orchestrates procedural generation, tilemaps, save handling, and AI into a run-based game. It does not re-teach noise/RNG or tilemap APIs; it defines the loop and the systems that make a run compelling.
When to use
- Use when building a turn-based, grid-based dungeon crawler where each death ends the run and the world is regenerated — a roguelike or "roguelite" (with meta-progression).
- Use when designing procedural dungeons, FOV/fog-of-war, permadeath stakes, or loot tables.
When not to use: real-time action with roguelike dressing → build the action genre
(platformer/fps-shooter) and layer procedural-gen. Deep stats/quests/dialogue without
permadeath → rpg. Open-world needs/crafting → survival-crafting.
What makes it a roguelike (design anchor)
The community reference is the Berlin Interpretation (RogueBasin, IRDC 2008): a set of "roguelikeness" factors, not a checklist. The high-value ones are the design targets: random environment generation, permadeath, turn-based, grid-based, non-modal (all actions in one mode), complexity (many item/monster interactions), resource management, hack-and-slash, and exploration & discovery. Lean into these to feel roguelike; pick which to keep deliberately. "Roguelite" usually relaxes permadeath with meta-progression.
Core loop
Take a turn (move / fight / use) → the world resolves its turn → see new state → descend / loot / survive → die and restart with a fresh dungeon. Replayability comes from the world changing each run, not the player memorizing a fixed layout.
Must-have systems
- Turn scheduler — energy/initiative system so fast actors act more often (Pattern 2).
- Grid map + movement — tile coordinates; bump-to-attack; blocked/walkable queries.
- Procedural dungeon generator — rooms + corridors, or BSP/cellular; guarantee connectivity.
- Field of view + explored memory — what's visible now vs. seen-before (Pattern 3 / refs).
- Combat + entities — HP, attack/defense, status; monsters obey the same rules as the player.
- Loot + drop tables — weighted, depth-scaled item/monster spawning (refs).
- Permadeath + (optional) meta-progression — wipe the run; persist only unlocks/score.
- Message log + clear UI — the player reasons from text/state; surface numbers and events.
Design knobs
| Knob | Effect | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Dungeon size / room count | run length, density | Scale with depth. |
| Connectivity guarantee | no unreachable rooms | Always verify reachability after generation. |
| Monster density / depth curve | difficulty ramp | Spawn by depth-weighted table. |
| Loot rarity weights | power variance | Rarer = bigger swing; identify adds discovery. |
| FOV radius / lighting | tension, information | Smaller radius = scarier, slower. |
| Resource scarcity (food/HP/ammo) | pressure to descend | Core tension lever in classic RLs. |
| Permadeath vs meta-progression | run stakes vs. retention | Roguelite softens the wall. |
| Identification / unknowns | exploration value | Unidentified items reward experimentation. |
| Seedable RNG | daily runs, debugging | Always allow a fixed seed (see procedural-gen). |

Patterns
1. Deterministic, seedable run RNG
# Pseudocode. One seeded RNG per run makes dungeons reproducible (daily runs, bug repro).
run_seed = chosen_seed or random_seed()
rng = Rng(run_seed) # use your engine's seedable RNG, not global random
dungeon = generate_dungeon(rng, depth) # same seed + depth => same dungeon
# Persist run_seed in the save so a crash can resume the same world (see save-systems).2. Energy-based turn scheduler (speeds differ)
# Pseudocode. Each actor gains energy each tick and acts when it has enough.
# Faster actors gain more per tick, so they act more often — no fixed "player then enemies".
TURN_COST = 100
def next_actor(actors):
while True:
for a in actors: # stable order avoids ties favoring one side
a.energy += a.speed # e.g. speed 100 = normal, 150 = hasted
if a.energy >= TURN_COST:
a.energy -= TURN_COST
return a # this actor takes exactly one action now3. Field of view + explored memory
# Pseudocode. Recompute visibility from the player each time they move.
visible = compute_fov(map, player.pos, radius=8) # symmetric shadowcasting (see refs)
for cell in visible:
explored.add(cell) # remember it forever (dim "fog of war")
# Render: visible -> lit; explored-but-not-visible -> dim; never-seen -> hidden.Use a proven FOV algorithm (recursive shadowcasting or symmetric shadowcasting). Do not roll a naive raycast-per-cell — it produces asymmetric, "blinking" vision. See refs.
Pitfalls / failure modes
- Disconnected dungeons → rooms the player can't reach. Always run a connectivity/flood-fill pass and carve corridors until every walkable cell is reachable.
- Naive FOV → vision that flickers or is asymmetric (you see them, they don't see you). Use shadowcasting; test symmetry.
- Real-time loop pretending to be turn-based → input races and double-moves. Resolve one discrete turn at a time; queue input.
- Flat difficulty → no descent pressure. Scale monsters/loot by depth and keep resources scarce.
- Permadeath that wipes meta-unlocks → frustration. Separate run state (wiped) from
profile state (unlocks, scores) when saving (see
save-systems). - Save-scumming a "permadeath" game → delete or invalidate the run save on load if you want true permadeath; keep only the profile.
- Unreadable state → the player can't plan. Show HP, turn results, and a message log.
Composition (build it from these skills)
- Generation:
procedural-gen(noise, seeded RNG, dungeon/room algorithms) — the engine of replayability. - Map rendering:
godot-tilemap/unity-tilemap-2dfor the grid;level-designfor set-piece rooms/vaults. - Enemies:
game-aifor monster decision-making (often simple on a grid: seek/flee/patrol). - Persistence:
save-systemsfor run-resume, profile/meta-progression, and true permadeath wipes. - Scripting/data:
godot-resources/unity-scriptableobjectsto define items, monsters, and drop tables as data. - UI:
godot-ui-controlfor the message log, inventory, and HUD. - Feel:
game-feelfor hit/death juice — screen shake and hit-stop that sell impacts on a turn-based grid.
