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

github.blog·May 12, 2026

The author created "GitHub Dungeons," a terminal-based roguelike game that transforms a code repository into a playable dungeon using procedural generation techniques, specifically Binary Space Partitioning (BSP). The game allows players to navigate through dungeons generated from their codebase, with each commit altering the layout, and incorporates features like permadeath and unique mechanics facilitated by the GitHub Copilot CLI.

For a professional tracking AI coding tools like Claude Code and Copilot, the most actionable insight is the demonstrated utility of the Copilot CLI's `/delegate` command. This feature allows you to offload complex coding tasks to a cloud-based agent, enabling you to focus on higher-level design and feature iteration rather than implementation details. This approach can significantly enhance productivity by letting AI handle the boilerplate and edge cases, allowing you to maintain a creative and strategic focus in your development projects.
