rhex
A terminal-based roguelike game featuring hexagonal maps, written in Rust.
What is rhex?
rhex is a roguelike video game that runs entirely in a terminal, using ASCII or Unicode characters for graphics. It features a hexagonal map system that adds a layer of tactical positioning to traditional roguelike gameplay. The project is implemented in Rust and serves both as a playable game and a learning exercise in Rust development.
Developers interested in roguelike games, terminal-based applications, or learning Rust through a practical project. It also appeals to contributors looking to collaborate on an open-source game.
It offers a unique combination of hexagonal grid mechanics and pure terminal UI, which is uncommon in roguelikes. Being written in Rust, it provides a codebase for those wanting to explore game development in a modern systems programming language.
