FlipDot-Displays can be used to play funny games on.

Rogueflip

The demo game rogueflip is inspired by text-console based dungeon games named ‘roguelike’. The following video shows the game in action.

Level Description

Each Level can be created with the tiled map editor. The map dimensions must be a multiple of the dimension of the flipdot display.

This example game world can be opened with tiled using the following tileset. The tiles labeled P and C represent the player and a collectable coin respectively.

An example world looks like the following.
