This week we will cover parts 1 and 2 of the Complete Roguelike Tutorial.

Part 1: Graphics

Start your game right away by setting up the screen, printing the stereotypical @ character and moving it around with the arrow keys.

and

Part 2: The object and the map

This introduces two new concepts: the generic object system that will be the basis for the whole game, and a general map object that you'll use to hold your dungeon.

Bonus

If you have extra time or want a challenge this week's bonus section is Using Graphical Tiles.
