towpy 0.1

Text Only Window

TOW.PY

TOW.PY (text only window) is a simple, toy python library that allows for text-based graphical applications to be prototyped and developed. It has been built on top of pygame but developed as to abstract its methods away.

SIDE NOTE: This is not to say that pygame is complicated or necessary to abstract away to create a useable framework.

Philosophy

Why develop a program that is so restricted when libraries such as pygame already exist. Aside from being a toy library to play around with and develop quirky text programs in, I have always taken after the way of thinking that minimilism enhances creativity.

Setup

The only dependency to use TOW.PY is pygame, which can simply be installed with pip install pygame

Code Example

Currently TOW.PY has not been formatted to work as a python library. However, using the files locally in your project would work as follows:

import TextOnlyWindow from tow
import TextObject from textobject

tow = TextOnlyWindow()

txt_obj = TextObject(["Hello", "World"], (10, 10))
tow.add_object(txt_obj)

tow.run()
