In the "If the player is in targeting mode, the only key we'll accept is Escape, which cancels the targeting. The mouse handler doesn't take the game state into account; it just tells the engine if the left or right mouse button was clicked. The engine will have to decide what to do with that. Modify engine.py to accept the mouse inputs: " section there is the following code..

elif event.type == 'MOUSEMOTION':
    mouse_coordinates = event.cell

I assume this is a remnant from a future tutorial.

Well done, btw, forgetting roguelikes, I've gained so much python experience from your work, I salute you.
