Show HN: Vanilla Roguelike – My 5-Year Solo Ruby Project Now OSS

[davidslv]

After 5 years of solo development, I'm opening up Vanilla Roguelike, a turn-based roguelike written in pure Ruby.

I belive it demonstrates Ruby's strengths in game dev, with procedural maze generation (algorithms like Binary Tree and Recursive Backtracker) and an ECS (Entity-Component-System) architecture for modularity.

Current state: It's a work-in-progress.

Mechanics are limited (e.g., you can move across the map, open the messages menu, transition to a new level, no full combat yet), but I believe the foundation is solid and welcoming to anyone with the desire to contribute.

I'd love feedback, issues, or PRs to help evolve it even further.

Let's showcase what Ruby can do in roguelikes!
