pytermgame 1.0.1

Like pygame, but in the terminal

pytermgame

You've seen frameworks for making terminal apps (textual, pytermgraphics, asciimatics) ... but how about a framework for games ... like pygame?

Installation: pip install pytermgame

Features

• pygame-inspired structure
• customizable terminal behaviour (alternate screen, cursor visibility)
• optimized rendering, game figures out which sprites requires erase and re-render (it takes care of overlapping sprites too!)
• cross-platform support for reading and identifying keys

Examples

Currently there is one only: jet_and_ball.py

Use up and down arrows to control, just dodge the balls

The grey line is for alignment

TODO:

• support for more keys
• simulated scrolling (extended axis)
• use integer IDs to reference sprites (for performance?)
• support color using ANSI (Char class?)
  • option to remain black and white (less memory)
• mouse support
• more examples
