Wrote a blog post about a way to generate some simple maps with a maze algorithm. Includes source code.

Those enemy designs are amazing.

Agreed. They are beautiful.

This looks beautiful, well done twobit.

I like the style, looks really neat.

Thanks :]

http://www.canvasdemos.com/ have some tutorials on making games.

Gave it a try awhile ago but really didn't like working in javascript.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQVTIJBZook a presentation about javascript and things you should keep in mind when working with it. Might be helpful.

I love it.

Made some graphics for a very strange Shoot em up.

Roguebasin ( http://roguebasin.roguelikedevelopment.org ) have some articles about generating terrain. The Procedural Content Generation Wiki ( http://pcg.wikidot.com ) have plenty of articles and links so check them out too.

Also check the procedural generation thread on this forum that st33d linked. Plenty o' good stuff there.

Giving the player the ability to vomit on stuff and each other in this game
http://goo.gl/qLq2s. It's hard work, but somebody have to do it.

I usually use XML for storing away stats for players, enemies etc. At least when I work with someone else, saves time from having to explain where the variables are in the code.

Well if you really just want to do rpg games then get Rpg Maker VX or some other version of it.

... a facebook page ( http://goo.gl/yksnu ) where I post sexual innuendos disguised in programmer terms... yeah.

All these sweet pictures made me want to do a roguelike.

I really like those screenshots / mock ups. Looks interesting.

I have to agree with what most people have said here. Start simple and make small games and release them to the community and learn from the feedback.
