A basic roguelike for a PyATL talk on roguelike game development

PMRL

Python Meetup Roguelike

A little game I wrote for a talk on roguelike game development in Python at PyATL.

Development

First time setup

Clone and enter the project directory:

git clone https://github.com/seansawyer/python-meetup-roguelike.git
cd python-meetup-roguelike

Then, if you are using pyenv:

pyenv virtualenv 3.7.4 pmrl-3.7.4
pyenv activate pmrl-3.7.4
pip install -r requirements.txt

Or if you are using your system Python (3.7+):

python3 -m venv ./env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Now you may run the application:

# In your virtual environment...
python pmrl.py

Upgrade dependencies

# In your virtual environment...
pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt

Building Executables

PyInstaller is used to create an distributable bundle containing an executable that can be run without downloading Python, installing libraries, etc.

# In your virtual environment...
pyinstaller pmrl.py \
    --add-binary '/home/sean/src/python-meetup-roguelike/arial10x10.png:."

After the PyInstaller build finishes, the dist/pmrl directory will contain the application and all dependencies necessary to run the game on the platform you ran the build on.

To run the packaged, standalone executable:

cd dist/pmrl
./pmrl
