Traditional Roguelikes (Turn Based) / Re: The Temple of Torment (Now at Stable 14.0)

Hmm, I need to test this again with a new virtual machine since I plan to release a native linux build at some point.

I recall there was a runtime error (which was fixed by installing sdl2-dev) when I tried to run the game on another linux installation.

It might be related to libtcod using sdl2 nowadays. I wonder if the original sdl is preinstalled but not that one.

My experience with pyinstaller on linux has also been positive, though with libtcod at least it requires that the player has sdl installed separately.

Aukustus, I've had the wantings to remake my Veins in Python, what did you use to compile the .exe? That was the part that utterly baffled me a couple months ago when I first attempted it...

I use py2exe, it works very nicely out of the box. You have to set up a separate python script that uses py2exe functions to compile it. I can share the script if you wish to try it yourself.

Just created a subreddit for this: https://www.reddit.com/r/TToT/

Still pretty dead but hopefully it'll launch some discussions regarding the game!

Just curious, why did you think it's impossible to write a roguelike in python?

For no reason. I played ToT, went to some kind of forest and in ruins met a pixie which required me to use both of my healing potions, but I still died after that fighting a.. bee, I think it was a bee or ant? I didn't like menus, because select is Return key. It should be Space obviously, or both of them as select. The game feels 90's old school in a good and bad way, mainly bad as tacky UI. The game is also a bit slow in my 5 year old low cost dual core PC, but it was expected from python which is super slow language. I'm probably going to play it more, it wasn't that bad.

I can definitely enable space as a select key too. The 90's old school feel is definitely intended. I'm aware of some performance issues in lower-end computers, though how much of the slowness is from my code or Python, I've got no idea.

Because it isn't smart enough.

So the ToT .exe doesn't have any viruses? I'm hesitating to run it. The reason I wanted to try was that ToT is I think the only existing roguelike written in python. URR is also, but it's not yet a game I think? Anyway I had thought that it was impossible to write a roguelike in python, but I guess everything is possible.

It's definitely safe. It isn't only roguelike in Python, but I guess it's the most successful so far. How much of a game URR will be is to be seen.

Is it possible to have a single font (ttf or bitmap) but print chars from it different sizes? I've been planning an ascii system that has double sized chars in the game screen but regular in the text.

I've been fiddling with bitmap fonts in C# and there's a fairly interesting effect when using bitmap font without specifying size. It opens a white full screen sized window and nothing else.

Also, are http://roguecentral.org/doryen/data/libtcod/doc/1.5.1/html2/console_set_custom_font.html?c=false&cpp=true&cs=false&py=false&lua=false TCOD layouted fonts supported?

I think that decision about spending turns is right. I know why you wanted to spending turn on almost every action. It was interesting concept, but it had some flaws - like lack of warning messages in specific situations. I remember when I was fighting with frozen mage (or something similar, just magician with freeze spell) and I had small HP. So, I was trying to open inventory, and it fails every time - I didn't notice that I'm freezed and using *i* key was spending turn. Just thought that something broke and try to run inventory again and again... Then, I died. I was fricking free frag
Not the big complain (especially if you changed this), just small story which your post reminds me

That actually still spends a turn, since you're frozen you cannot do anything so every action will spend turns until the effect fades. But there isn't a message about this when acting fails because of some status effect. There's just a general "You are frozen" or something like that but not a message when something fails. I'll add that
