Pythonic cffi port of libtcod.
Project description
Status
Installation
The recommended way to install is by using pip, make sure pip is up-to-date, old versions of pip may have issues installing libtcod-cffi.
To install using pip, use the following command:
python -m pip install tdl
Wheels are missing for PyPy on Mac OS X and Linux, so you’ll have to meet the additional dependencies of libtcod-cffi before running pip.
libtcod-cffi: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/libtcod-cffi
About
TDL is a port of the C library libtcod in an attempt to make it more “Pythonic”
The library can be used for displaying tilesets (ANSI, Unicode, or graphical) in true color.
It also provides functionality to compute path-finding and field of view.

2.0.0 - 2017-02-15
- Changed
Dependencies updated, tdl now requires libtcod-cffi 2.x.x
Some event behaviours have changed with SDL2, event keys might be different than what you expect.
- Removed
Key repeat functions were removed from SDL2. set_key_repeat is now stubbed, and does nothing.
- 1.6.0
Console.blit methods can now take fg_alpha and bg_alpha parameters.
- 1.5.3
set_font no longer crashes when loading a file without the implied font size in its name
- 1.5.2
fixed non-square Map instances
- 1.5.1
fixed errors with Unicode and non-Unicode literals on Python 2
fixed attribute error in compute_fov
- 1.5.0
python-tdl distributions are now universal builds
new Map class
map.bresenham now returns a list
this release will require libtcod-cffi v0.2.3 or later
- 1.4.0
The DLL’s have been moved into another library which you can find at https://github.com/HexDecimal/libtcod-cffi You can use this library to have some raw access to libtcod if you want. Plus it can be used alongside TDL.
The libtocd console objects in Console instances have been made public.
Added tdl.event.wait function. This function can called with a timeout and can automatically call tdl.flush.
- 1.3.1
Fixed pathfinding regressions.
- 1.3.0
Updated backend to use python-cffi instead of ctypes. This gives decent boost to speed in CPython and a drastic to boost in speed in PyPy.
- 1.2.0
The set_colors method now changes the default colors used by the draw_* methods. You can use Python’s Ellipsis to explicitly select default colors this way.
Functions and Methods renamed to match Python’s style-guide PEP 8, the old function names still exist and are depreciated.
The fgcolor and bgcolor parameters have been shortened to fg and bg
- 1.1.7
Noise generator now seeds properly
The OS event queue will now be handled during a call to tdl.flush. This prevents a common newbie programmer hang where events are handled infrequently during long animations, simulations, or early development
Fixed a major bug that would cause a crash in later versions of Python 3
- 1.1.6
Fixed a race condition when importing on some platforms
Fixed a type issue with quickFOV on Linux
Added a bresenham function to the tdl.map module
- 1.1.5
a for loop can iterate over all coordinates of a Console
drawStr can be configured to scroll or raise an error
You can now configure or disable key repeating with tdl.event.setKeyRepeat
Typewriter class removed, use a Window instance for the same functionality
setColors method fixed
- 1.1.4
Merged the Typewriter and MetaConsole classes, You now have a virtual cursor with Console and Window objects
Fixed the clear method on the Window class
Fixed screenshot function
Fixed some drawing operations with unchanging backgrounds
Instances of Console and Noise can be pickled and copied
Added KeyEvent.keychar
Fixed event.keyWait, and now converts window closed events into Alt+F4
- 1.1.3
Some of the setFont parameters were incorrectly labeled and documented
setFont can auto-detect tilesets if the font sizes are in the filenames
Added some X11 unicode tilesets, including unifont.
- 1.1.2
Window title now defaults to the running scripts filename
Fixed incorrect deltaTime for App.update
App will no longer call tdl.flush on its own, you’ll need to call this yourself
tdl.noise module added
clear method now defaults to black on black
- 1.1.1
map submodule added with AStar class and quickFOV function
new Typewriter class
most console functions can use Python-style negative indexes now
new App.runOnce method
rectangle geometry is less strict
- 1.1.0
KeyEvent.keyname is now KeyEvent.key
