## About PyTilengine

PyTilengine is the Python binding for Tilengine. It is not a direct 1:1 API translation of the original C library, but it uses familiar Python constructions as classes, lists, etc, and has its own documentation.

## Contents

* */src* directory contains the single `tilengine.py` module with the binding itself

* */samples* directory contains various examples ready to run and test

* */doc* directory contains the source files for the sphinx documentation tool

## Prerequisites

Tilengine native shared library must be installed separately. Please refer to https://github.com/megamarc/Tilengine about how to do it.

## Installation

No install step is required. Just make sure that the Tilengine library and the `tilengine.py` modules are accessible from within your own project

## Documentation

Online version of the generated docs can be found in the following address:

http://www.tilengine.org/doc_python/

## Basic program

The following program does these actions:

1. Import required classes from tilengine binding

2. Initialize the engine with a resolution of 400x240, one layer, no sprites and 20 animation slots

3. Set the loading path to the assets folder

4. Load a *tilemap*, the asset that contains background layer data

5. Attach the loaded tilemap to the allocated background layer

6. Create a display window with default parameters: windowed, auto scale and CRT effect enabled

7. Run the window loop, updating the display at each iteration until the window is closed

Source code:

```python

from tilengine import Engine, Window, Tilemap

engine = Engine.create(400, 240, 1, 0, 20)

engine.set_load_path("assets/sonic")

foreground = Tilemap.fromfile("sonic_md_fg1.tmx")

engine.layers[0].setup(foreground)

window = Window.create()

while window.process():

    window.draw_frame()

```

Resulting output:

## Running the samples

To run the samples, just open a terminal window inside the "samples" directory and run any of these commands:

```python

python column_offset.py

python dkc.py

python mode7.py

python mosaic.py

python pixel_map.py

python platformer.py

python test.py

python vertical.py

```
