I'm writing a wrapper of the libtcod library for the Nimrod language: https://github.com/Vladar4/libtcod-nim/tags

Libtcod, a.k.a. “The Doryen Library”, is a free, fast, portable and uncomplicated API for roguelike developpers providing an advanced true color console, input, and lots of other utilities frequently used in roguelikes.

Libtcod homepage: http://doryen.eptalys.net/libtcod

Features: http://doryen.eptalys.net/libtcod/features

For this moment (v0.9) I wrapped all functions and stuff and now testing and searching for bugs.

You can try to build samples.nim (build scripts provided), or run one provided with official package to see some cool features of this lib.

Unfortunately, windows-compiled samples.nim seems to crash for unknown reasons, when linix-binary runs pretty well. So, there is a lot work to do yet.

I modified samples code, so it wouldn't crash on windows (except 1st sample, so I made it unaccessible when you make win-build).

Version 0.95 is out!

All features are implemented. Now wrapper requires heavy testing, so go ahead! =)

Also, I completely rewrote parser module to Nimrod due to compatibility issues with some c-types, so now it uses native nimrod sequences, etc.

Changelog:

total rewrite of parser module

added parser_get_list_<type>_property(parser, name): seq[<type>] functions

completed PList removal

tons of fixes

Keep up the good work. :-)

Hi there, I've saw your wrapper on the libtcod page thanks to jice, but i'm having troubles compiling the samples.

Here's the compiling log:

C:\Documents and Settings\Funcionario\My Documents\Downloads\libtcod-nim-0.95\libtcod-nim-0.95>nimrod c -p:libtcod -d:debug samples.nim
Hint: used config file 'C:\Program Files\Nimrod\config\nimrod.cfg' [Conf]

Hint: samples [Processing]

Hint: math [Processing]
SIGSEGV: Illegal storage access. (Attempt to read from nil?)

So I wonder if there's a problem in the wrapper itself or in the language library. Or if i'm doing something wrong.

Edit: Btw, I did a similar post on the libtcod forum.

The github version of the compiler can compile it, 0.9.0 cannot.

Oh thanks for the help =) This language is awesome, but I believe it's going to take a while for me to learn the tricks to work in a productive way with it.

I'm glad you like it! :)

Hello. I've been having trouble trying to get my application to take input. I've tried various methods and so far, nothing has worked. The code looks like this:

import libtcod

var: running = true ft = false action: libtcod.Key

libtcod.consoleInitRoot(cint 80, cint 50, "Game", vsync=false) echo "Beginning..."

while running:

if not ft:: echo "Entered loop." ft = true

action = libtcod.consoleCheckForKeypress(cint EVENT_KEY_PRESS)

if action.vk == libtcod.K_ESCAPE:: echo "pressed escape." running = false

libtcod.quit() system.quit()
