Hey @Tarny_GG_Channie , just throwing my opinions into the ring here, it has long been on my mind about making some very simple sprite-type dungeon crawler games within Julia that could be a lot of fun. There have been a couple different attempts at this:

- [GitHub - c42f/Gameoji: An emoji-based 2D dungeon crawler with live coding interface](https://github.com/c42f/Gameoji)
- [GitHub - aviks/GameZero.jl: Zero overhead game development library for the Julia programming language](https://github.com/aviks/GameZero.jl)
- [GitHub - xiaodaigh/Game2048.jl: GUIs for playing the game 2048 in Julia](https://github.com/xiaodaigh/Game2048.jl)
- [GitHub - Sid-Bhatia-0/RayCastWorlds.jl: First-person 3D reinforcement learning environments in Julia](https://github.com/Sid-Bhatia-0/RayCastWorlds.jl)
- [GitHub - aviks/Holiday2022: A simple holiday themed game using GameZero.jl](https://github.com/aviks/Holiday2022)

Additionally, if you are at all curious about creating dungeon maps, you could take a look at my blog post [here about the marching squares algorithm to use](https://web.archive.org/web/20211223140943/http://jacobzelko.com/marching-squares/) as a foundation for building fun maps. Perhaps in contradiction to other folks here, I think making simple games within Julia could be great. You could also take a look at Luxor.jl for inspiration and perhaps even Javis.jl for ideas about animations. Happy to share more but I encourage this idea with of course the caveats mentioned previously!
