Rogue C#

Creating Your Own Roguelike in C#

About the Book

Rogue C# is a demonstration of Microsoft’s C# programming language that I developed on ComeauSoftware.com as an ongoing series of articles. In these articles, I detailed my development process for the game from the analysis of the classic Rogue game and requirements gathering through the codiing and testing of my own version as a C# Windows forms app.

The series was put on hold in July 2023 and I am currently reviewing it with the possibility of finishing it in book form. This PDF edition contains all the content from the web series and is offered as a supplement for those who would like the content in portable form as well as to gauge interest in the series. If you would like to support continued development, you can do any of the following:

  1. Purchase your own copy of the PDF here on LeanPub.
  2. Sign up here on LeanPub as an interested reader to let me know that you want to see more of this series.
  3. Sign up for my newsletter at ComeauSoftware.com.

I'm always interested in your questions and feedback and you're welcome to contact me here on LeanPub or through my site.
