Re: [pygame] Ncurses RTS?
Uhh... you accidentally replied to my thread about Python Ncurses and realtime strategy. If you want to start a new thread send a message to pygame-us...@seul.org :) Still, it's good to see more people are trying out pygame. --- On Mon, 12/7/09, Dorian M. wrote: From: Dorian M.

Playing over telenet/ssh would be nice, because there would be no complex networking to screw around with. I think. --- On Mon, 12/7/09, Bryce Schroeder wrote: From: Bryce Schroeder Subject: Re: [pygame] Ncurses RTS?

Re: [pygame] Ncurses RTS?
Maybe a solution to this is to use pygame. Just divide the screen up into a grid where each rectangle can contain a character. To draw the screen you just paint the appropriate character in each rect. You could also use fancier glyphs too if you wanted to (like from wingdings, dingbats, whatever) since you wouldn't be limited to the terminal font. -Casey On Dec 6, 2009, at 6:34 PM, Yanom Mobis wrote: I know this doesn't actually involve pygame, but I was wondering if it would be possible to use the Python Ncurses module to make a realtime strategy game.

Re: [pygame] Ncurses RTS?
So build for 2.5? I know PDcurses is cross-platform, but I'm doubtful there's a Python wrapper for it. On Mon, Dec 7, 2009 at 9:11 AM, Yanom Mobis wrote: > wcurses only goes up to python 2.5. my system is 2.6 > > > > >

wcurses only goes up to python 2.5. my system is 2.6 --- On Sun, 12/6/09, Patrick Mullen wrote: From: Patrick Mullen Subject: Re: [pygame] Ncurses RTS?

I am sure you could, but one word of warning is that python's standard curses module doesn't have a Windows version last time I checked (*checks again, yep*) There is a wcurses work-alike module that you can find, although IIRC it has some minor differences that you will have to keep in mind if you want your game to work cross-platform.

Re: [pygame] Ncurses RTS?
I don't see why that would not be possible. Sounds like a cool idea.

[pygame] Ncurses RTS?
I know this doesn't actually involve pygame, but I was wondering if it would be possible to use the Python Ncurses module to make a realtime strategy game. Something in the vein of dwarf fortress (you can see screenshots at: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/screens.html ), but more of a traditional RTS than a rougelike/citybuilder game.
