# Dungeons & Desktops: Building a procedurally generated roguelike with GitHub Copilot CLI

**[GitHub Blog](https://daily.dev/sources/ghblog)** · 7 min read · 70 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A GitHub employee built a terminal roguelike game called GitHub Dungeons as a GitHub CLI extension using Go and GitHub Copilot CLI. The game procedurally generates dungeon layouts from a repository's commit SHA using Binary Space Partitioning (BSP), meaning every codebase produces a unique dungeon that evolves with each commit. The post explains how BSP works for dungeon generation, how the /delegate command in Copilot CLI was used to asynchronously build features via pull requests, and how to install and play the extension. A 'danger mode' pre-commit hook that deletes unsaved work if you lose the game is included as a (strongly discouraged) bonus.
