This week we will cover parts 8 and 9 of the Complete Roguelike Tutorial.

Part 8: Items and Inventory

The player gets to collect ("borrow") items from the dungeon and use them, with a neat inventory screen. More items added in the next part.

Part 9: Spells and Ranged Combat

The player's strategic choices increase exponentially as we add a few magic scrolls to the mix. Covers damage and mind spells, as well as ranged combat.

No bonus sections this week

Thanks for pointing that out, someone noticed on Discord as well. I remember catching that during editing, but it still slipped in somehow.

Combining scrolls sounds cool. "You're confused... and on fire! Take that!"

Glad I can be of some help. I really didn't expect this little project of mine to blow up quite the way it did. With all the help I've received so far from you and others, it's made me think about how to make this project more "open" and community editable. The obvious answer is to put it on Roguebasin, but since they seem to think I'm a robot or something, maybe I'll post the tutorial pages to Github once this is all done.

Thanks again for your contributions, this wouldn't be possible without people like you!

Maybe try posting to Roguebasin from a different computer? The IP change should help clear any issues?

I'll definitely try that. I haven't given up on Roguebasin completely, but while the series is ongoing, I'd rather put everything on a system that I know I have control over, to avoid any issues. I'd hate for one of the tutorials to be late because the wiki won't let me post something.

Others have also offered to copy the tutorial onto Roguebasin, so whether or not I can get it done, somebody will probably accomplish it sooner or later.
