  • Best way to create a terminal based "wizard" application

    Welcome to the wonderful world of curses. That's a little sarcasm, it's not always fun. heh. Anyhow here is the official documentation about programming with curses: https://docs.python.org/3/howto/curses.html. I tend to prefer using blessings (it's curses but easier to use, so it's not curses, its blessings. get it?) https://github.com/erikrose/blessings. Anyhow, both are totally doable. Give it a try.
  • A good python library to replace libtcod for terminal play?

    Well, my current plan is to use one of the more modern curses-replacements (I'm thinking of blessed, a blessings fork), since they seem a lot easier to use than curses. If I hit a speed bottleneck with blessed, the plan is to switch over to curses...

    Obligatory reference to Blessings [1], a very pythonic approach to terminal manipulation, inspired by curses and the complete opposite of it.

    See the 'Before and After' example in the readme for enlightenment.
