Programming / Complete beginner/idiot question (libtcod)
« on: November 07, 2012, 06:41:06 AM »
I've taken a couple university classes in Python, and now want to try messing around with roguelike development. I'm trying to get libtcod working, but after several attempts and zero progress I'm getting frustrated at my inability to get through the door.
I assume I'm using libtcod, or Python wrong...
My problem is this: I can't get anything to launch. Even code copied directly from tutorials such as here:
http://roguebasin.roguelikedevelopment.org/index.php?title=Complete_Roguelike_Tutorial,_using_python%2Blibtcod,_part_1_code#Showing_the_.40_on_screen
Doesn't run. It doesn't return any errors, but it generates no console window, when all the beginner tutorials say it should. I'm completely stumped before I even started. :/
