The goal: Dwarf Fortress on mars.

This game requires libtcod-1.5.1.

Put the libtcod library's folder into the folder which contains the files in this repository. Then find "libtcod_py.py" and put that in the main folder with these files here.

Put the appropriately named .png file in the same folder as everything else. It's a 160x100 pixel image that gets scaled up by libtcod's sub-cell font magic. I haven't settled on a final window size so the title image is not perfect.

• Builders just stand there after getting stuck once or twice. Make them more aggressive in recomputing and choosing new paths.
• Its still possible to remove stuff by designating it and the builders just magically make it disappear from across the map.
• Move the building designation logic into its own function. I wasn't able to get that to work for now.
• in move(), should the object.wait = object.speed be moved inside the if-else loop? This would prevent having to wait so long after a failed attempt to move.

• If game_state == 'dead' upon saving, then give the save file a post-mortem file type. Create a method to go through the post-mortems and present gameplay statistics.
• Try to use a hardware renderer, like OpenGL, rather than the software one. Do a simple system check to see if the hardware renderers are supported. Libtcod has stuff to do that check.
• Make sure that name generation is not continuosly opening the name.cfg file, but rather just opening it once on startup and keeping it in memory after that.
• Astronaut name generator - use a dictionary of real-world names combined with libtcod's namegen algorithm?
• Scientists, laborers, engineers, with specializations: Botanist (farmer), Engineer (builder), Laborer (?? operators?). Use the object component method described in tutorial 6.
• Add a computer, and if the player uses the computer it brings up an interactive command prompt, possibly in a separate window until they exit it. Make it gameplay relevant- locking doors, loading bot programs, reading emails and documents that provide backstory...
• Adventure mode rather than construction mode - explore a world of randomly generated levels. This will use all the single-player utilities that I cut out for the construction mode.
• Books, manuals, checklists? Randomly generated items to read using madlib method.

This was based off the libtcod tutorial.
