#1 CODENAME TRAPDOOR commences - the planning & prototyping stage of our Roguelike Deckbuilding game

Broadcasted live on Twitch -- Watch live at

CODENAME TRAPDOOR is our roguelike deck-building game similar to Slay the Spire. We're building it in the browser for fun and because I want to understand certain programming challenges like:

- Manipulating cards into hands, decks, draw piles etc
- Turn-based combat system
- Programmatic level generation
- PVP?

Happy coding!
