pytermgame 1.0.2

Like pygame, but in the terminal

pytermgame

You've seen frameworks for making terminal apps (textual, pytermgraphics, asciimatics etc.), 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!)
• provides both tick-based and thread-based event systems
• cross-platform support for reading and identifying keys

Examples

Examples are included in the repo root (there's 2 currently)

Instructions are in the file of the example (docstrings)

Future plans

• cross-platform support for more keys
• simulated scrolling (extended axis)
• a "Scene" or "Screen" system
• use integer IDs to reference sprites (for performance?)
• support color using ANSI (Char class?)
  • option to remain black and white (less memory)
• cross-platform mouse support
• more examples
