Nethack was the one that really hooked me. Telnetting into nethack.org from the CSCI lab computers during university will always be a fond memory.

These days I facilitate roguelike development each year with a group code-along (for lack of a better term). Each year a group of participants follow along together and produce their own roguelike. The tutorial is in Python but folks participate using a bunch of other languages. This year we had people who made it to the end with Rust, C++, C#, and Odin, to name a few. Completion posts are still rolling in so I'm excited to see what this year's batch cooked up. :)

Would you mind sharing more about the code-along? Or where to find more info?

Sure! Information on this and past events can be found here: https://old.reddit.com/r/roguelikedev/wiki/python_tutorial_s...

I start it around the beginning of summer vacation (northern hemisphere) so unfortunately you'll have to wait ~10 months for the next one. But given the yearly participation, I believe it's worth it :)
