cov-python VS bracket-lib

Crown of Vorona Repo

Woo, had a bit of a catch up to do this week! Last week caught me out with some big life admin, but I had a fair amount of time this week to work on this. I also managed to implement BSP Map Generation. I had a whack of trouble getting the corridors to line up with all of the rooms; turns out all of the tutorials I followed had minimum room sizes of half the nodes - not sure if that was the best way for me to fix it, but the problem has now gone away ;) Repo

I think having to use a terminal is the scary part for many people. rltk/bracket-lib can be used to get a similar look and feel if that's what's important, but it is geared toward roguelikes.

Maybe bracket-lib from the amethyst authors? I‘m currently working through that book and find the library quite intuitive and simple to use. It started out as a toolkit for rouge-like games but has been getting more general. On that note, I recommend the hands-on-rust book which teaches rust concepts while building games with bracket-lib. As you have read the book, I‘m sure you would get through the first chapters quickly.

https://github.com/amethyst/bracket-lib has a great integration with Bevy, designed for exactly this sort of thing.

I've been doing some experiments with terminal based games and landed on https://github.com/amethyst/bracket-lib It's not exactly terminal based in the sense that it actually runs on OpenGL by default. But that's a plus imho because dealing with the bits of the terminal window that can change outside of your control (like fonts, window resize, etc) is a giant pita. It does let you swap the backend to run on crossterm if that's what you really want to do but if what you're after is the aesthetic like I am having bracket_lib handling all that makes life so much better.
