[pygame] Progress report

[Jérôme Loisel <jerome@levinux.org>]

Hello folks!

I had a big translation contract this week, so I had little opportunity to 
work on my game. But I did get the www.loisel.org server fully back up and 
stable again... and today I took the time to upload screenshots. (Please 
remember that the actual tiles are from Freeciv.)

There is not much, but you can see the features about which I asked question 
on this list: transparency (look at the edges, where the shadows start) and 
the mini-map. Notice the white rectangle on the mini-map indicating the 
visible portion of the bigger map.

The game itself is mostly non-existent, but the config file parser is coming 
together very nicely. Take a look at the left-most May 30 image on the page. 
It is dynamically generated from the following configuration file:

http://www.loisel.org/jerome/python/.carte.html

As you can see, the config file is nice: it supports sections, multi-line 
strings and multiple values for config keys.

My parser can only read config files so far, but I will probably add support 
for editing and writing of config files. I will need that to make a map 
editor.

If there is any interest, I could clean it up, think of an intelligent API, 
document it and release it separately. What do people here think? Is it too 
trivial to bother with?

Cheers,

Jérôme Loisel
