About

This is a Python cffi_ port of libtcod_.

This library is hosted on GitHub <https://github.com/libtcod/python-tcod>_.

Any issues you have with this module can be reported at the
GitHub issue tracker <https://github.com/libtcod/python-tcod/issues>_.

=======
Usage

This module was designed to be backward compatible with the original libtcodpy
module distributed with libtcod.
If you had code that runs on libtcodpy then you can use this library as a
drop-in replacement. This installs a libtcodpy module so you'll only need to
delete the libtcodpy/ folder that's usually bundled in an older libtcodpy
project.

Guides and Tutorials for libtcodpy should work with the tcod module.

The latest documentation can be found here:
