I built the first parts of a roguelike in javascript. My day job requires me to know a lot more JS than I needed to before, so I'm building toys in JS to bone up on it.

It's kind of a neat toy, I may even put some more time in it to make it a game. The programming is all very modular and easily extended, so it should be pretty easy to grow and grow once I have a few more fundamentals in place.

I didn't mention lighting, but the game understands lighting. During the day, everything is considered lit for ease of processing (I may change that later), but at night only lamps light the darkness. This is partway through sunrise, so everything is half-lit by the sun even if the lamp doesn't light it.
