Here's a free "Game Jam" License to DragonRuby Game Toolkit. 

This zip file includes a sample app/starting point specifically for this jam (64x64 resolution).

Browser based LOWREZ GTK environment.

A full rundown of GTK is here

Ping me on this thread, on the LOWREZ Discord, or DM amirrajan#2240 if you hit any snags.

Edit: 

I've created the DragonRiders Discord for anyone in the jam that is using DragonRuby GTK. 

Super Easy Setup Guide:

  1. Unzip file.
  2. Go to the directory that represents your operating system.
  3. Run dragonruby.exe.
  4. Open mygame/app/main.rb in the code editor of your choosing. A LOWREZ starter game will load up.
  5. Change the code.
  6. Save the file.
  7. Watch the game change.

How to Publish Your Game:

  1. Done coding your game? Cool!
  2. Fill out mygame/metadata/metadata.txt.
  3. Double click dragonruby-publish.exe.
  4. A folder will appear called "build" that includes Windows, Mac, Linux, and Web versions of your game.
  5. Upload to Itch.

I've made updates to the zip file. Added a low resolution font (still working on finalizing it), and I've added the capability to show and hide gridlines.

Here it is in action:

 

I've added another sample app:

PSA: After the game jam ends, the dedicated LOWREZ GTK server will be offline. If you want to  join the permanent GTK server, go to: discord.dragonruby.org.

Here is an example of how to export live documentation:

This isn't LOWREZ, but you may find it useful if you're creating a roguelike: https://gist.github.com/amirrajan/30be700d54d05e102f14653d7871bfa8
