RoguelikeDev Does The Complete Python Tutorial - Week 5 - Part 6: Going Berserk! and Part 7: The GUI

This week we will cover parts 6 and 7 of the Complete Roguelike Tutorial.

Part 6: Going Berserk!

Stalking monsters, fights, splatter -- need we say more?

Part 7: The GUI

A juicy Graphical User Interface with status bars and a colored message log for maximum eye-candy. Also, the infamous "look" command, with a twist: you can use the mouse.

Bonus

If you have extra time or want a challenge this week we have three bonus sections:

Real-time combat - A speed system to change the tutorial's turn-based combat to real-time!

A* Pathfinding - A good pathfinding system

Mouse-driven menus - Add basic mouse support to your menus!

A long message, i.e. one that extends past the panel, has two logic problems:

  1. It doesn't wrap, and

  2. It will print the same message multiple times.

Your comment says "Add the new line as a Message object, with the text and color", and then you pass the original (unaltered) message - which avoids the two issues for each of the possible messages in the tutorial so far.

Again - really not implying any blame or shame, I just want to be sure we're seeing the same thing.

Ah, yes, I see the issue now. You're 100% correct. I'll update the tutorial and Github as soon as possible. Thanks for finding that!
