Re: [pygame] Ncurses RTS?

[Casey Duncan <casey@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Maybe a solution to this is to use pygame. Just divide the screen up  
into a grid where each rectangle can contain a character. To draw the  
screen you just paint the appropriate character in each rect. You  
could also use fancier glyphs too if you wanted to (like from  
wingdings, dingbats, whatever) since you wouldn't be limited to the  
terminal font.
