I wanted to just recommend a step by step tutorial for creating a traditional roguelike that I truly believe anyone with a computer and a tiny bit of interest in game development can get started with their creation for this game jam. I'm simply recommending it because it has helped me out a lot with getting into the genre.

Check out the Broughlike Tutorial by Jeremiah Reid: https://nluqo.github.io/broughlike-tutorial/index.html

You can play the finished game here: https://nluqo.github.io/broughlike-tutorial/completed/stage8/index.html

Anyone with a computer, text editor, and basic image editor can create a completely finished traditional roguelike from scratch with no dependencies, libraries, or other tools. 

Best of luck to everyone in the game jam! 

thanks for the tips! this will be my first jam, I hope it'll go well!
