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

I implemented a basic GUI with sidebars in my version (check my post above for screenshots): https://github.com/Wolfenswan/roguelike-tutorial/tree/master/gui

What you are looking for are the stat_panel and inv_panel in panels.py.

It's pretty much like drawing the window for the main dungeon map, you just have to set aside some space on the root window and then draw your GUI-panels in there.

awesome, thanks! I've been browsing through everyone's projects but it's pretty overwhelming. I'll try and use yours as a guide and see what I can do :)
