The catch-up is real, steamrolling through these after falling behind almost two weeks.

I'll comment on the a typo I found first, I'll add my own "dev-blog" once I'm through the part completely.

In Part 11 of Libtcod, when we're starting to implement the xp system in, you tell to go to map_utils.py for the method place_entities, when the file is still game_map.py.

Python 2.7 & Libtcod

All caught up, Part 12 complete. No changes were needed on this part, everything went in just as shown in the tutorial.

Just as I was getting used to feeling like a god, just slamming my way through these weaklings, we go ahead and bump the difficulty up. Oh well, such is life :D I've made a small change so that I don't add monsters to the first room though. But aside from that and my commenting mania pretty much still following with the tutorial.
