An easy to use HTML5 Roguelike Game Blueprint for Kiwi.JS

Roguelike Game Blueprint 1.0

Roguelike is a sub-genre of role-playing video games, characterized by random level generation, ASCII and tile-based graphics and permanent death. Roguelikes descend from the 1980 game Rogue, particularly mirroring Rogue's character- or sprite-based graphics, turn-based gameplay that gives the player the time to plan each move, and high fantasy setting.

Crafted by Ido Yehieli (http://tametick.com/), creator of Cardinal Quest, the Kiwi.JS Roguelike Blueprint coupled with the Kiwi.JS game engine, this Blueprint allows users to rapidly develop a Roguelike game.

##How to use

The PlayState demonstrates the structure of a simple roguelike game. Import the afordmentioned plugins (you can find them in the lib/plug directory) and create your own graphical or ascii roguelike.

The level is represented by a 2d array of characters. '.' represets a floor (walkable) and '#' a wall(blocking). In the PlayState you can see how to easily show this level using either the TileMap class (http://www.api.kiwijs.org/classes/TileMap.html) or an array of TextFields.
