About

This is a Python cffi port of libtcod.

This library is hosted on GitHub.

Any issues you have with this module can be reported at the GitHub issue tracker.

The latest documentation can be found here.

This project was spun off from the python-tdl project, and is now it’s own module.

Installation

The recommended way to install is by using pip.

With Python installed, run the following command to install libtcod-cffi:

python -m pip install libtcod-cffi

This is good enough for most Python installations. See the requirements section if you’re building from source.

Usage

This module was designed to be backwards compatible with the original libtcod module that is distributed with libtcod. If you had code that runs on the original module you can use this library as a drop-in replacement like this:

import tcod as libtcod

Guides and Tutorials for the original library should also work with this one.

Requirements

  • Python 2.7+, Python 3.3+, or PyPy 5.4+

  • Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X

  • Python cffi module must be version 1.8 or higher

Extra requirements when installing directly from source

  • Python pycparser module must be 2.14 or higher

  • MinGW gcc.exe must be on Windows path for use with pycparser. An equivalent program must be installed on other OS’s

  • Mac OS X requires sdl2, which can be installed using the homebrew command: “brew install sdl2”

  • Linux requires the packages: libsdl2-dev, libffi-dev, and python-dev

License

libtcod-cffi is distributed under the Simplified 2-clause FreeBSD license. Read LICENSE.txt for more details.

Changelog

2.0a1
  • Realising how dumb it’d be to remote it, the userData parameter has been added back. Functions which use it are marked depreciated.

  • Python exceptions will now propagate out of libtcod callbacks.

  • Some libtcod object oriented functions now have Python class methods associated with them (only BSP for now, more will be added later.)

  • Regression tests were added. Focusing on backwards compatibilty with libtcodpy. Several neglected functions were fixed during this.

  • All libtcod allocations are handled by the Python garbage collector. You’ll no longer have to call the delete functions on each object.

  • Now generates documentation for Read the Docs. You can find the latest documentation for libtcod-cffi here.

2.0a0
  • updated to compile with libtcod-1.6.2 and SDL-2.0.4

1.0
  • sub packages have been removed to follow the libtcodpy API more closely

  • bsp and pathfinding functions which take a callback no longer have the userdata parameter, if you need to pass data then you should use functools, methods, or enclosing scope rules

  • numpy buffer alignment issues on some 64-bit OS’s fixed

0.3
  • switched to using pycparser to compile libtcod headers, this may have included many more functions in tcod’s namespace than before

  • parser custom listener fixed again, likely for good

0.2.12
  • version increment due to how extremely broken the non-Windows builds were (false alarm, this module is just really hard to run integrated tests on)

0.2.11
  • SDL is now bundled correctly in all Python wheels

0.2.10
  • now using GitHub integrations, gaps in platform support have been filled, there should now be wheels for Mac OSX and 64-bit Python on Windows

  • the building process was simplified from a linking standpoint, most libraries are now statically linked

  • parser module is broken again

0.2.9
  • Fixed crashes in list and parser modules

0.2.8
  • Fixed off by one error in fov buffer

0.2.7
  • Re-factored some code to reduce compiler warnings

  • Instructions on how to solve pip/cffi issues added to the readme

  • Official support for Python 3.5

0.2.6
  • Added requirements.txt to fix a common pip/cffi issue.

  • Provided SDL headers are now for Windows only.

0.2.5
  • Added /usr/include/SDL to include path

0.2.4
  • Compiler will now use distribution specific SDL header files before falling back on the included header files.

0.2.3
  • better Color performance

  • parser now works when using a custom listener class

  • SDL renderer callback now receives a accessible SDL_Surface cdata object.

0.2.2
  • This module can now compile and link properly on Linux

0.2.1
  • console_check_for_keypress and console_wait_for_keypress will work now

  • console_fill_foreground was fixed

  • console_init_root can now accept a regular string on Python 3

0.2.0
  • The library is now backwards compatible with the original libtcod.py module. Everything except libtcod’s cfg parser is supported.

0.1.0
  • First version released
