Ask HN: Where can I find a simple (open source) Rogue-like to modify?

[Mz]

I have a project and I want to learn to code. A friend would like me to learn Python (because his project is in Python and theoretically might provide support for my project), but I don't know any programming languages currently. So I am flexible on the language and open to suggestions. I do know a little HTML and CSS and someone once told me:

if you know html and css, then django might be where to start because a lot of django is basically generating html and css, and if you're already familiar with them, that can help a lot

It's basically an add-on for python that lets you use python to generate websites

I would like something to play with to get started that I can modify. Someone more knowledgeable about games than I am has suggested that a Rogue-like would be a good place to start for having built-in parameters of the types of stats I would like to track.

Thanks.

You might want to try the following tutorial:

Although, if you need to learn Python you might want to try the free book Inventing Your Own Games With Python https://inventwithpython.com/

Since this got upvotes, but no real answers, I have just found out about the "explore github" section and it may get me what I need:
