python-tcod VS gruid

More information about the update: https://github.com/libtcod/python-tcod/releases/tag/16.1.1

I'm currently writing another Python tutorial. I was hoping to have part-1 finished before this Sharing Saturday but it started while I'm still in the middle of updating the website. You can see the part-1 source I'm going with here and the resources I plan on using are organized here.

See this NumPy/SciPy cave generator for a performant example.

scipy.signal.convolve2d again, but used to count neighbors instead of masking them based on their direction. See this script for a cave generation example.

The python-tcod repository is here. This is the full source of the Python port including all the C sources of libtcod which are included as a sub-module plus all the setup scripts invoked. Most source repos are linked from their PyPI package page.

I'll be asking you to install tcod from the sdl branch of its Git repository. I'd recommended cloning the repo but that isn't required. You just need to tell pip install where the experimental source is.

This is a known issue. Libtcod will fallback to the SDL2 renderer and will then run correctly, so this error only notes that the OpenGL renderers failed to initialize but won't prevent libtcod programs from running.

I found old bugs with similar issues (breaking on some sdl dependencies) on https://github.com/libtcod/python-tcod and filed an issue.

I'll be doing the tutorial in python3 again so I don't get bogged down by language details, but I also considered trying out Go+gruid.

I started out using the Symmetric Shadow Casting algorithm provided by the RL lib I am using (https://github.com/anaseto/gruid) and soon managed to get something on the screen by using the HSV color space (https://imgur.com/kfXldLa).

Base game library is gruid , which is a game library build around grids which is absolutely perfect for rougelikes. I am also pretty into the ECS way of building games, coming from rust I have tried SPECs, Legion, and even Bevy (although bevy is a full fledge game library build around ECS).

Gruid Repository

You can try gruid. It should now be ready for use, as harmonist as been completely ported (not released a stable version yet, but the development version is playable. The library supports the terminal, SDL and the browser. I would gladly appreciate feedback on other using the library.

Gruid Repository

Have you considered using gruid? Even if you don't use the UI stuff (though it has roguelike-friendly features, such as replay), you could still use the paths and rl packages, that offer several pathfinding algorithms (including A* and its optimisation for grid-based games JPS), two field of view algoritms (including the new symmetric shadow casting, recently added into libtcod too), parametrable cellular automata map generation, vault manipulation and an event queue (to schedule effects). I would gladly welcome feedback using the library.
