Major fixes:
- Fixed --exec entering Python REPL instead of game loop
- Resolved screenshot transparency issue (requires timer callbacks)
- Added debug output to trace Python initialization
Test suite created:
- 13 comprehensive tests covering all Python-exposed methods
- Tests use timer callback pattern for proper game loop interaction
- Discovered multiple critical bugs and missing features
Critical bugs found:
- Grid class segfaults on instantiation (blocks all Grid functionality)
- Issue #78 confirmed: Middle mouse click sends 'C' keyboard event
- Entity property setters have argument parsing errors
- Sprite texture setter returns improper error
- keypressScene() segfaults on non-callable arguments
Documentation updates:
- Updated CLAUDE.md with testing guidelines and TDD practices
- Created test reports documenting all findings
- Updated ROADMAP.md with test results and new priorities
The Grid segfault is now the highest priority as it blocks all Grid-based functionality.
- Add --exec flag to execute multiple scripts before main program
- Scripts are executed in order and share Python interpreter state
- Implement full PyAutoGUI-compatible automation API in McRFPy_Automation
- Add screenshot, mouse control, keyboard input capabilities
- Fix Python initialization issues when multiple scripts are loaded
- Update CommandLineParser to handle --exec with proper sys.argv management
- Add comprehensive examples and documentation
This enables automation testing by allowing test scripts to run alongside
games using the same Python environment. The automation API provides
event injection into the SFML render loop for UI testing.
Closes#32 partially (Python interpreter emulation)
References automation testing requirements
directories needed:
* build - for cmake output
* deps - stuff needed to compile McRogueface (headers)
libtcod -> ../modules/libtcod/src/libtcod
sfml -> ../modules/SFML/include/SFML
python -> ../modules/cpython/Include
* lib - stuff needed to link McRogueFace (shared objects); also required at runtime
libtcod -> `../modules/libtcod/buildsys/autotools/.libs/libtcod.so.1.0.24`
sfml -> `../modules/SFML/build/lib/*`
python -> `../modules/cpython/libpython3.12.so`; standard lib at ../modules/cpython/build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.12 & ../modules/cpython/Lib
You can get dependencies by:
- Build from source (i.e. all submodules)
- Go download them from each project's website
- install packages from your distro and symlink them to deps/lib directories
