+# Phase 1-3 Completion Summary
+
+## Overview
+Successfully completed all tasks in Phases 1, 2, and 3 of the alpha_streamline_2 branch. This represents a major architectural improvement to McRogueFace's Python API, making it more consistent, safer, and feature-rich.
+
+## Phase 1: Architecture Stabilization (Completed)
+- ✅ #7 - Audited and fixed unsafe constructors across all UI classes
+- ✅ #71 - Implemented _Drawable base class properties at C++ level
+- ✅ #87 - Added visible property for show/hide functionality
+- ✅ #88 - Added opacity property for transparency control
+- ✅ #89 - Added get_bounds() method returning (x, y, width, height)
+- ✅ #98 - Added move()/resize() methods for dynamic UI manipulation
+
+## Phase 2: API Enhancements (Completed)
+- ✅ #101 - Standardized default positions (all UI elements default to 0,0)
+- ✅ #38 - Frame accepts children parameter in constructor
+- ✅ #42 - All UI elements accept click handler in __init__
+- ✅ #90 - Grid accepts size as tuple: Grid((20, 15))
+- ✅ #19 - Sprite texture swapping via texture property
+- ✅ #52 - Grid rendering skips out-of-bounds entities
+
+## Phase 3: Game-Ready Features (Completed)
+- ✅ #30 - Entity.die() method for proper cleanup
+- ✅ #93 - Vector arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /, ==, bool, abs, neg)
+- ✅ #94 - Color helper methods (from_hex, to_hex, lerp)
+- ✅ #103 - Timer objects with pause/resume/cancel functionality
+
+## Additional Improvements
+- ✅ Standardized position arguments across all UI classes
+  - Created PyPositionHelper for consistent argument parsing
+  - All classes now accept: (x, y), pos=(x,y), x=x, y=y formats
+- ✅ Fixed UTF-8 encoding configuration for Python output
+  - Configured PyConfig.stdio_encoding during initialization
+  - Resolved unicode character printing issues
+
+## Technical Achievements
+
+### Architecture
+- Safe two-phase initialization for all Python objects
+- Consistent constructor patterns across UI hierarchy
+- Proper shared_ptr lifetime management
+- Clean separation between C++ implementation and Python API
+
+### API Consistency
+- All UI elements follow same initialization patterns
+- Position arguments work uniformly across all classes
+- Properties accessible via standard Python attribute access
+- Methods follow Python naming conventions
+
+### Developer Experience
+- Intuitive object construction with sensible defaults
+- Flexible argument formats reduce boilerplate
+- Clear error messages for invalid inputs
+- Comprehensive test coverage for all features
+
+## Impact on Game Development
+
+### Before
+```python
+# Inconsistent, error-prone API
+frame = mcrfpy.Frame()
+frame.x = 100  # Had to set position after creation
+frame.y = 50
+caption = mcrfpy.Caption(mcrfpy.default_font, "Hello", 20, 20)  # Different argument order
+grid = mcrfpy.Grid(10, 10, 32, 32, 0, 0)  # Confusing parameter order
+```
+
+### After
+```python
+# Clean, consistent API
+frame = mcrfpy.Frame(x=100, y=50, children=[
+    mcrfpy.Caption("Hello", pos=(20, 20)),
+    mcrfpy.Sprite("icon.png", (10, 10))
+])
+grid = mcrfpy.Grid(size=(10, 10), pos=(0, 0))
+
+# Advanced features
+timer = mcrfpy.Timer("animation", update_frame, 16)
+timer.pause()  # Pause during menu
+timer.resume()  # Resume when gameplay continues
+
+player.move(velocity * delta_time)  # Vector math works naturally
+ui_theme = mcrfpy.Color.from_hex("#2D3436")
+```
+
+## Next Steps
+With Phases 1-3 complete, the codebase is ready for:
+- Phase 4: Event System & Animations (advanced interactivity)
+- Phase 5: Scene Management (transitions, lifecycle)
+- Phase 6: Audio System (procedural generation, effects)
+- Phase 7: Optimization (sprite batching, profiling)
+
+The foundation is now solid for building sophisticated roguelike games with McRogueFace.

+# RenderTexture Overhaul Design Document
+
+## Overview
+
+This document outlines the design for implementing RenderTexture support across all UIDrawable classes in McRogueFace. This is Issue #6 and represents a major architectural change to the rendering system.
+
+## Goals
+
+1. **Automatic Clipping**: Children rendered outside parent bounds should be clipped
+2. **Off-screen Rendering**: Enable post-processing effects and complex compositing
+3. **Performance**: Cache static content, only re-render when changed
+4. **Backward Compatibility**: Existing code should continue to work
+
+## Current State
+
+### Classes Already Using RenderTexture:
+- **UIGrid**: Uses a 1920x1080 RenderTexture for compositing grid view
+- **SceneTransition**: Uses two 1024x768 RenderTextures for transitions
+- **HeadlessRenderer**: Uses RenderTexture for headless mode
+
+### Classes Using Direct Rendering:
+- **UIFrame**: Renders box and children directly
+- **UICaption**: Renders text directly
+- **UISprite**: Renders sprite directly
+
+## Design Decisions
+
+### 1. Opt-in Architecture
+
+Not all UIDrawables need RenderTextures. We'll use an opt-in approach:
+
+```cpp
+class UIDrawable {
+protected:
+    // RenderTexture support (opt-in)
+    std::unique_ptr<sf::RenderTexture> render_texture;
+    sf::Sprite render_sprite;
+    bool use_render_texture = false;
+    bool render_dirty = true;
+    
+    // Enable RenderTexture for this drawable
+    void enableRenderTexture(unsigned int width, unsigned int height);
+    void updateRenderTexture();
+};
+```
+
+### 2. When to Use RenderTexture
+
+RenderTextures will be enabled for:
+1. **UIFrame with clipping enabled** (new property: `clip_children = true`)
+2. **UIDrawables with effects** (future: shaders, blend modes)
+3. **Complex composites** (many children that rarely change)
+
+### 3. Render Flow
+
+```
+Standard Flow:
+render() → render directly to target
+
+RenderTexture Flow:
+render() → if dirty → clear RT → render to RT → dirty = false
+         → draw RT sprite to target
+```
+
+### 4. Dirty Flag Management
+
+Mark as dirty when:
+- Properties change (position, size, color, etc.)
+- Children added/removed
+- Child marked as dirty (propagate up)
+- Animation frame
+
+### 5. Size Management
+
+RenderTexture size options:
+1. **Fixed Size**: Set at creation (current UIGrid approach)
+2. **Dynamic Size**: Match bounds, recreate on resize
+3. **Pooled Sizes**: Use standard sizes from pool
+
+We'll use **Dynamic Size** with lazy creation.
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Base Infrastructure (This PR)
+1. Add RenderTexture members to UIDrawable
+2. Add `enableRenderTexture()` method
+3. Implement dirty flag system
+4. Add `clip_children` property to UIFrame
+
+### Phase 2: UIFrame Implementation
+1. Update UIFrame::render() to use RenderTexture when clipping
+2. Test with nested frames
+3. Verify clipping works correctly
+
+### Phase 3: Performance Optimization
+1. Implement texture pooling
+2. Add dirty flag propagation
+3. Profile and optimize
+
+### Phase 4: Extended Features
+1. Blur/glow effects using RenderTexture
+2. Viewport-based rendering (#8)
+3. Screenshot improvements
+
+## API Changes
+
+### Python API:
+```python
+# Enable clipping on frames
+frame.clip_children = True  # New property
+
+# Future: effects
+frame.blur_amount = 5.0
+sprite.glow_color = Color(255, 200, 100)
+```
+
+### C++ API:
+```cpp
+// Enable RenderTexture
+frame->enableRenderTexture(width, height);
+frame->setClipChildren(true);
+
+// Mark dirty
+frame->markDirty();
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+1. **Memory**: Each RenderTexture uses GPU memory (width * height * 4 bytes)
+2. **Creation Cost**: Creating RenderTextures is expensive, use pooling
+3. **Clear Cost**: Clearing large RenderTextures each frame is costly
+4. **Bandwidth**: Drawing to RenderTexture then to screen doubles bandwidth
+
+## Migration Strategy
+
+1. All existing code continues to work (direct rendering by default)
+2. Gradually enable RenderTexture for specific use cases
+3. Profile before/after to ensure performance gains
+4. Document best practices
+
+## Risks and Mitigation
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|------|------------|
+| Performance regression | Opt-in design, profile extensively |
+| Memory usage increase | Texture pooling, size limits |
+| Complexity increase | Clear documentation, examples |
+| Integration issues | Extensive testing with SceneTransition |
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+1. ✓ Frames can clip children to bounds
+2. ✓ No performance regression for direct rendering
+3. ✓ Scene transitions continue to work
+4. ✓ Memory usage is reasonable
+5. ✓ API is intuitive and documented
+
+## Future Extensions
+
+1. **Shader Support** (#106): RenderTextures enable post-processing shaders
+2. **Particle Systems** (#107): Render particles to texture for effects
+3. **Caching**: Static UI elements cached in RenderTextures
+4. **Resolution Independence**: RenderTextures for DPI scaling
+
+## Conclusion
+
+This design provides a foundation for professional rendering capabilities while maintaining backward compatibility and performance. The opt-in approach allows gradual adoption and testing.

+1. **Visual Layer** (UIGridPoint) - Sprites, colors, animations
+2. **World State Layer** (TCODMap) - Walkability, transparency, physics
+3. **Entity Perspective Layer** (UIGridPointState) - Per-entity FOV, knowledge
+
+### Performance Architecture (Critical for 1000x1000 maps)
+- **Spatial Hashing** for entity queries (not quadtrees!)
+- **Batch Operations** with context managers (10-100x speedup)
+- **Memory Pooling** for entities and components
+- **Dirty Flag System** to avoid unnecessary updates
+- **Zero-Copy NumPy Integration** via buffer protocol
+
+### Key Insight from Research
+"Minimizing Python/C++ boundary crossings matters more than individual function complexity"
+- Batch everything possible
+- Use context managers for logical operations
+- Expose arrays, not individual cells
+- Profile and optimize hot paths only

+
+## Project Status: 🎉 ALPHA 0.1 RELEASE! 🎉
+
+**Current State**: Documentation system complete, TCOD integration urgent  
+**Latest Update**: Completed Phase 7 documentation infrastructure (2025-07-08)  
+**Branch**: alpha_streamline_2  
+**Open Issues**: ~46 remaining + URGENT TCOD/Tutorial work
+
+---
+
+## 📋 TCOD Integration Implementation Details
+
+### Phase 1: Core UIGrid Integration (Day 1 Morning)
+```cpp
+// UIGrid.h additions
+class UIGrid : public UIDrawable {
+private:
+    TCODMap* world_state;  // Add TCOD map
+    std::unordered_map<int, UIGridPointState*> entity_perspectives;
+    bool batch_mode = false;
+    std::vector<CellUpdate> pending_updates;
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Python Bindings (Day 1 Afternoon)
+```python
+# New API surface
+grid = mcrfpy.Grid(100, 100)
+grid.compute_fov(player.x, player.y, radius=10)  # Returns visible cells
+grid.at((x, y)).walkable = False  # Ergonomic access
+with grid.batch_update():  # Context manager for performance
+    # All updates batched
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Entity Integration (Day 2 Morning)
+```python
+# UIEntity additions
+entity.path_to(target_x, target_y)  # A* pathfinding
+entity.flee_from(threat)  # Dijkstra map
+entity.can_see(other_entity)  # FOV check
+```
+
+### Critical Success Factors:
+1. **Batch everything** - Never update single cells in loops
+2. **Lazy evaluation** - Only compute FOV for entities that need it
+3. **Sparse storage** - Don't store full grids per entity
+4. **Profile early** - Find the 20% of code taking 80% of time
+
+---
+

+
+## 🚀 Alpha Streamline 2 - Comprehensive Phase Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Foundation Stabilization (1-2 weeks)
+**Goal**: Safe, predictable base for all future work
+```
+1. #7 - Audit and fix unsafe constructors (CRITICAL - do first!)
+   - Find all manually implemented no-arg constructors
+   - Verify map compatibility requirements
+   - Make pointer-safe or remove
+   
+2. #71 - _Drawable base class implementation
+   - Common properties: x, y, w, h, visible, opacity
+   - Virtual methods: get_bounds(), render()
+   - Proper Python inheritance setup
+   
+3. #87 - visible property
+   - Add to base class
+   - Update all render methods to check
+   
+4. #88 - opacity property (depends on #87)
+   - 0.0-1.0 float range
+   - Apply in render methods
+   
+5. #89 - get_bounds() method
+   - Virtual method returning (x, y, w, h)
+   - Override in each UI class
+   
+6. #98 - move()/resize() convenience methods
+   - move(dx, dy) - relative movement
+   - resize(w, h) - absolute sizing
+```
+*Rationale*: Can't build on unsafe foundations. Base class enables all UI improvements.
+
+### Phase 2: Constructor & API Polish (1 week)
+**Goal**: Pythonic, intuitive API
+```
+1. #101 - Standardize (0,0) defaults for all positions
+2. #38 - Frame children parameter: Frame(children=[...])
+3. #42 - Click handler in __init__: Button(click=callback)
+4. #90 - Grid size tuple: Grid(grid_size=(10, 10))
+5. #19 - Sprite texture swapping: sprite.texture = new_texture
+6. #52 - Grid skip out-of-bounds entities (performance)
+```
+*Rationale*: Quick wins that make the API more pleasant before bigger changes.
+
+### Phase 3: Entity Lifecycle Management (1 week)
+**Goal**: Bulletproof entity/grid relationships
+```
+1. #30 - Entity.die() and grid association
+   - Grid.entities.append(e) sets e.grid = self
+   - Grid.entities.remove(e) sets e.grid = None
+   - Entity.die() calls self.grid.remove(self)
+   - Entity can only be in 0 or 1 grid
+   
+2. #93 - Vector arithmetic methods
+   - add, subtract, multiply, divide
+   - distance, normalize, dot product
+   
+3. #94 - Color helper methods
+   - from_hex("#FF0000"), to_hex()
+   - lerp(other_color, t) for interpolation
+   
+4. #103 - Timer objects
+   timer = mcrfpy.Timer("my_timer", callback, 1000)
+   timer.pause()
+   timer.resume()
+   timer.cancel()
+```
+*Rationale*: Games need reliable entity management. Timer objects enable entity AI.
+
+### Phase 4: Visibility & Performance (1-2 weeks)
+**Goal**: Only render/process what's needed
+```
+1. #10 - [UNSCHEDULED] Full visibility system with AABB
+   - Postponed: UIDrawables can exist in multiple collections
+   - Cannot reliably determine screen position due to multiple render contexts
+   - Needs architectural solution for parent-child relationships
+   
+2. #52 - Grid culling (COMPLETED in Phase 2)
+   
+3. #39/40/41 - Name system for finding elements
+   - name="button1" property on all UIDrawables
+   - only_one=True for unique names
+   - scene.find("button1") returns element
+   - collection.find("enemy*") returns list
+   
+4. #104 - Basic profiling/metrics
+   - Frame time tracking
+   - Draw call counting
+   - Python vs C++ time split
+```
+*Rationale*: Performance is feature. Finding elements by name is huge QoL.
+
+### Phase 5: Window/Scene Architecture ✅ COMPLETE! (2025-07-06)
+**Goal**: Modern, flexible architecture
+```
+1. ✅ #34 - Window object (singleton first)
+   window = mcrfpy.Window.get()
+   window.resolution = (1920, 1080)
+   window.fullscreen = True
+   window.vsync = True
+   
+2. ✅ #1 - Window resize events
+   scene.on_resize(self, width, height) callback implemented
+   
+3. ✅ #61 - Scene object (OOP scenes)
+   class MenuScene(mcrfpy.Scene):
+       def on_keypress(self, key, state):
+           # handle input
+       def on_enter(self):
+           # setup UI
+       def on_exit(self):
+           # cleanup
+       def update(self, dt):
+           # frame update
+           
+4. ✅ #14 - SFML exposure research
+   - Completed comprehensive analysis
+   - Recommendation: Direct integration as mcrfpy.sfml
+   - SFML 3.0 migration deferred to late 2025
+   
+5. ✅ #105 - Scene transitions
+   mcrfpy.setScene("menu", "fade", 1.0)
+   # Supports: fade, slide_left, slide_right, slide_up, slide_down
+```
+*Result*: Entire window/scene system modernized with OOP design!
+
+### Phase 6: Rendering Revolution (3-4 weeks) ✅ COMPLETE!
+**Goal**: Professional rendering capabilities
+```
+1. ✅ #50 - Grid background colors [COMPLETED]
+   grid.background_color = mcrfpy.Color(50, 50, 50)
+   - Added background_color property with animation support
+   - Default dark gray background (8, 8, 8, 255)
+   
+2. ✅ #6 - RenderTexture overhaul [COMPLETED]
+   ✅ Base infrastructure in UIDrawable
+   ✅ UIFrame clip_children property
+   ✅ Dirty flag optimization system
+   ✅ Nested clipping support
+   ✅ UIGrid already has appropriate RenderTexture implementation
+   ❌ UICaption/UISprite clipping not needed (no children)
+   
+3. ✅ #8 - Viewport-based rendering [COMPLETED]
+   - Fixed game resolution (window.game_resolution)
+   - Three scaling modes: "center", "stretch", "fit"
+   - Window to game coordinate transformation
+   - Mouse input properly scaled with windowToGameCoords()
+   - Python API fully integrated
+   - Tests: test_viewport_simple.py, test_viewport_visual.py, test_viewport_scaling.py
+   
+4. #106 - Shader support [DEFERRED TO POST-PHASE 7]
+   sprite.shader = mcrfpy.Shader.load("glow.frag")
+   frame.shader_params = {"intensity": 0.5}
+   
+5. #107 - Particle system [DEFERRED TO POST-PHASE 7]
+   emitter = mcrfpy.ParticleEmitter()
+   emitter.texture = spark_texture
+   emitter.emission_rate = 100
+   emitter.lifetime = (0.5, 2.0)
+```
+
+**Phase 6 Achievement Summary**:
+- Grid backgrounds (#50) ✅ - Customizable background colors with animation
+- RenderTexture overhaul (#6) ✅ - UIFrame clipping with opt-in architecture
+- Viewport rendering (#8) ✅ - Three scaling modes with coordinate transformation
+- UIGrid already had optimal RenderTexture implementation for its use case
+- UICaption/UISprite clipping unnecessary (no children to clip)
+- Performance optimized with dirty flag system
+- Backward compatibility preserved throughout
+- Effects/Shader/Particle systems deferred for focused delivery
+
+*Rationale*: This unlocks professional visual effects but is complex.
+
+### Phase 7: Documentation & Distribution (1-2 weeks)
+**Goal**: Ready for the world
+```
+1. ✅ #85 - Replace all "docstring" placeholders [COMPLETED 2025-07-08]
+2. ✅ #86 - Add parameter documentation [COMPLETED 2025-07-08]
+3. ✅ #108 - Generate .pyi type stubs for IDE support [COMPLETED 2025-07-08]
+4. ❌ #70 - PyPI wheel preparation [CANCELLED - Architectural mismatch]
+5. API reference generator tool
+```
+

+8. [ ] **Shader Support** - Custom rendering effects (#106)
+
+---
+
+## 📋 Phase 6 Implementation Strategy
+
+### RenderTexture Overhaul (#6) - Technical Approach
+
+**Current State**:
+- UIGrid already uses RenderTexture for entity rendering
+- Scene transitions use RenderTextures for smooth animations
+- Direct rendering to window for Frame, Caption, Sprite
+
+**Implementation Plan**:
+1. **Base Infrastructure**:
+   - Add `sf::RenderTexture* target` to UIDrawable base
+   - Modify `render()` to check if target exists
+   - If target: render to texture, then draw texture to parent
+   - If no target: render directly (backward compatible)
+
+2. **Clipping Support**:
+   - Frame enforces bounds on children via RenderTexture
+   - Children outside bounds are automatically clipped
+   - Nested frames create render texture hierarchy
+
+3. **Performance Optimization**:
+   - Lazy RenderTexture creation (only when needed)
+   - Dirty flag system (only re-render when changed)
+   - Texture pooling for commonly used sizes
+
+4. **Integration Points**:
+   - Scene transitions already working with RenderTextures
+   - UIGrid can be reference implementation
+   - Test with deeply nested UI structures
+
+**Quick Wins Before Core Work**:
+1. **Grid Background (#50)** - 30 min implementation
+   - Add `background_color` and `background_texture` properties
+   - Render before entities in UIGrid::render()
+   - Good warm-up before tackling RenderTexture
+
+2. **Research Tasks**:
+   - Study UIGrid's current RenderTexture usage
+   - Profile scene transition performance
+   - Identify potential texture size limits
+

+
+## 🔮 FUTURE VISION: Pure Python Extension Architecture
+
+### Concept: McRogueFace as a Traditional Python Package
+**Status**: Unscheduled - Long-term vision
+**Complexity**: Major architectural overhaul
+
+Instead of being a C++ application that embeds Python, McRogueFace could be redesigned as a pure Python extension module that can be installed via `pip install mcrogueface`.
+
+### Technical Approach
+1. **Separate Core Engine from Python Embedding**
+   - Extract SFML rendering, audio, and input into C++ extension modules
+   - Remove embedded CPython interpreter
+   - Use Python's C API to expose functionality
+
+2. **Module Structure**
+   ```
+   mcrfpy/
+   ├── __init__.py          # Pure Python coordinator
+   ├── _core.so             # C++ rendering/game loop extension
+   ├── _sfml.so             # SFML bindings
+   ├── _audio.so            # Audio system bindings
+   └── engine.py            # Python game engine logic
+   ```
+
+3. **Inverted Control Flow**
+   - Python drives the main loop instead of C++
+   - C++ extensions handle performance-critical operations
+   - Python manages game logic, scenes, and entity systems
+
+### Benefits
+- **Standard Python Packaging**: `pip install mcrogueface`
+- **Virtual Environment Support**: Works with venv, conda, poetry
+- **Better IDE Integration**: Standard Python development workflow  
+- **Easier Testing**: Use pytest, standard Python testing tools
+- **Cross-Python Compatibility**: Support multiple Python versions
+- **Modular Architecture**: Users can import only what they need
+
+### Challenges
+- **Major Refactoring**: Complete restructure of codebase
+- **Performance Considerations**: Python-driven main loop overhead
+- **Build Complexity**: Multiple extension modules to compile
+- **Platform Support**: Need wheels for many platform/Python combinations
+- **API Stability**: Would need careful design to maintain compatibility
+
+### Implementation Phases (If Pursued)
+1. **Proof of Concept**: Simple SFML binding as Python extension
+2. **Core Extraction**: Separate rendering from Python embedding
+3. **Module Design**: Define clean API boundaries
+4. **Incremental Migration**: Move systems one at a time
+5. **Compatibility Layer**: Support existing games during transition
+
+### Example Usage (Future Vision)
+```python
+import mcrfpy
+from mcrfpy import Scene, Frame, Sprite, Grid
+
+# Create game directly in Python
+game = mcrfpy.Game(width=1024, height=768)
+
+# Define scenes using Python classes
+class MainMenu(Scene):
+    def on_enter(self):
+        self.ui.append(Frame(100, 100, 200, 50))
+        self.ui.append(Sprite("logo.png", x=400, y=100))
+    
+    def on_keypress(self, key, pressed):
+        if key == "ENTER" and pressed:
+            self.game.set_scene("game")
+
+# Run the game
+game.add_scene("menu", MainMenu())
+game.run()
+```
+
+This architecture would make McRogueFace a first-class Python citizen, following standard Python packaging conventions while maintaining high performance through C++ extensions.
+

+
+## 🚀 IMMEDIATE NEXT STEPS (Priority Order)
+
+### Today (July 9) - EXECUTE NOW:
+1. **Start Tutorial Part 1** - Basic setup and @ movement (2 hours)
+2. **Implement UIGrid.at((x,y))** - CellView pattern (1 hour)
+3. **Create Grid demo** for sizzle reel (1 hour)
+4. **Fix any blocking bugs** discovered during tutorial writing
+
+### Tomorrow (July 10) - CRITICAL PATH:
+1. **Tutorial Parts 2-4** - Map drawing, entities, FOV, combat
+2. **Implement compute_fov()** in UIGrid
+3. **Add batch_update context manager**
+4. **Expand sizzle reel** with entity choreography
+
+### July 11 - ANNOUNCEMENT DAY:
+1. **Polish 4 tutorial parts**
+2. **Create announcement post** for r/roguelikedev
+3. **Record sizzle reel video**
+4. **Submit announcement** by end of day
+
+### Architecture Decision Log:
+- **DECIDED**: Use three-layer architecture (visual/world/perspective)
+- **DECIDED**: Spatial hashing over quadtrees for entities
+- **DECIDED**: Batch operations are mandatory, not optional
+- **DECIDED**: TCOD integration as mcrfpy.libtcod submodule
+- **DECIDED**: Tutorial must showcase McRogueFace strengths, not mimic TCOD
+
+### Risk Mitigation:
+- **If TCOD integration delays**: Use pure Python FOV for tutorial
+- **If performance issues**: Focus on <100x100 maps for demos
+- **If tutorial incomplete**: Ship with 4 solid parts + roadmap
+- **If bugs block progress**: Document as "known issues" and continue

+# SFML 3.0 Migration Research for McRogueFace
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+SFML 3.0 was released on December 21, 2024, marking the first major version in 12 years. While it offers significant improvements in type safety, modern C++ features, and API consistency, migrating McRogueFace would require substantial effort. Given our plans for `mcrfpy.sfml`, I recommend **deferring migration to SFML 3.0** until after implementing the initial `mcrfpy.sfml` module with SFML 2.6.1.
+
+## SFML 3.0 Overview
+
+### Release Highlights
+- **Release Date**: December 21, 2024
+- **Development**: 3 years, 1,100+ commits, 41 new contributors
+- **Major Feature**: C++17 support (now required)
+- **Audio Backend**: Replaced OpenAL with miniaudio
+- **Test Coverage**: Expanded to 57%
+- **New Features**: Scissor and stencil testing
+
+### Key Breaking Changes
+
+#### 1. C++ Standard Requirements
+- **Minimum**: C++17 (was C++03)
+- **Compilers**: MSVC 16 (VS 2019), GCC 9, Clang 9, AppleClang 12
+
+#### 2. Event System Overhaul
+```cpp
+// SFML 2.x
+sf::Event event;
+while (window.pollEvent(event)) {
+    switch (event.type) {
+        case sf::Event::Closed:
+            window.close();
+            break;
+        case sf::Event::KeyPressed:
+            handleKey(event.key.code);
+            break;
+    }
+}
+
+// SFML 3.0
+while (const std::optional event = window.pollEvent()) {
+    if (event->is<sf::Event::Closed>()) {
+        window.close();
+    } 
+    else if (const auto* keyPressed = event->getIf<sf::Event::KeyPressed>()) {
+        handleKey(keyPressed->code);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### 3. Scoped Enumerations
+```cpp
+// SFML 2.x
+sf::Keyboard::A
+sf::Mouse::Left
+
+// SFML 3.0
+sf::Keyboard::Key::A
+sf::Mouse::Button::Left
+```
+
+#### 4. Resource Loading
+```cpp
+// SFML 2.x
+sf::Texture texture;
+if (!texture.loadFromFile("image.png")) {
+    // Handle error
+}
+
+// SFML 3.0
+try {
+    sf::Texture texture("image.png");
+} catch (const std::exception& e) {
+    // Handle error
+}
+```
+
+#### 5. Geometry Changes
+```cpp
+// SFML 2.x
+sf::FloatRect rect(left, top, width, height);
+
+// SFML 3.0
+sf::FloatRect rect({left, top}, {width, height});
+// Now uses position and size vectors
+```
+
+#### 6. CMake Changes
+```cmake
+# SFML 2.x
+find_package(SFML 2.6 COMPONENTS graphics window system audio REQUIRED)
+target_link_libraries(app sfml-graphics sfml-window sfml-system sfml-audio)
+
+# SFML 3.0
+find_package(SFML 3.0 COMPONENTS Graphics Window System Audio REQUIRED)
+target_link_libraries(app SFML::Graphics SFML::Window SFML::System SFML::Audio)
+```

+2. Update `mcrfpy.sfml` to match
+3. Provide migration guide for users
+
+### Phase 4: Deprecation (12-18 months)
+1. Deprecate SFML 2.6.1 support
+2. Focus on SFML 3.0 features
+
+## Specific Migration Tasks
+
+### Prerequisites
+- [ ] Update to C++17 compatible compiler
+- [ ] Update CMake to 3.16+
+- [ ] Review all SFML usage locations
+
+### Core Changes
+- [ ] Rewrite all event handling loops
+- [ ] Update all enum references
+- [ ] Convert resource loading to constructors
+- [ ] Update geometry construction
+- [ ] Update CMake configuration
+
+### mcrfpy.sfml Considerations
+- [ ] Design API to be version-agnostic where possible
+- [ ] Use abstraction layer for version-specific code
+- [ ] Document version requirements clearly
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+### High Risk Areas
+1. **Event System**: Complete paradigm shift
+2. **Exception Handling**: New resource loading model
+3. **Third-party Dependencies**: May not support SFML 3.0 yet
+
+### Medium Risk Areas
+1. **Performance**: New implementations may differ
+2. **Platform Support**: New version may have issues
+3. **Documentation**: Less community knowledge
+
+### Low Risk Areas
+1. **Basic Rendering**: Core concepts unchanged
+2. **CMake**: Straightforward updates
+3. **Enums**: Mechanical changes
+
+## Conclusion
+
+While SFML 3.0 offers significant improvements, the migration effort is substantial. Given that:
+
+1. SFML 3.0 is very new (released December 2024)
+2. McRogueFace has heavy SFML integration
+3. We plan to implement `mcrfpy.sfml` soon
+4. The event system requires complete rewriting
+
+**I recommend deferring SFML 3.0 migration** until after successfully implementing `mcrfpy.sfml` with SFML 2.6.1. This allows us to:
+- Deliver value sooner with `mcrfpy.sfml`
+- Learn from early adopters of SFML 3.0
+- Design our module API with migration in mind
+- Migrate when SFML 3.0 is more mature
+
+The migration should be revisited in 6-12 months when SFML 3.0 has proven stability and wider adoption.

+# SFML Exposure Research (#14)
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+After thorough research, I recommend **Option 3: Direct Integration** - implementing our own `mcrfpy.sfml` module with API compatibility to existing python-sfml bindings. This approach gives us full control while maintaining familiarity for developers who have used python-sfml.
+
+## Current State Analysis
+
+### McRogueFace SFML Usage
+
+**Version**: SFML 2.6.1 (confirmed in `modules/SFML/include/SFML/Config.hpp`)
+
+**Integration Level**: Moderate to Heavy
+- SFML types appear in most header files
+- Core rendering depends on `sf::RenderTarget`
+- Event system uses `sf::Event` directly
+- Input mapping uses SFML enums
+
+**SFML Modules Used**:
+- Graphics (sprites, textures, fonts, shapes)
+- Window (events, keyboard, mouse)
+- System (vectors, time, clocks)
+- Audio (sound effects, music)
+
+**Already Exposed to Python**:
+- `mcrfpy.Color` → `sf::Color`
+- `mcrfpy.Vector` → `sf::Vector2f`
+- `mcrfpy.Font` → `sf::Font`
+- `mcrfpy.Texture` → `sf::Texture`
+
+### Python-SFML Status
+
+**Official python-sfml (pysfml)**:
+- Last version: 2.3.2 (supports SFML 2.3.2)
+- Last meaningful update: ~2019
+- Not compatible with SFML 2.6.1
+- Project appears abandoned (domain redirects elsewhere)
+- GitHub repo has 43 forks but no active maintained fork
+
+**Alternatives**:
+- No other major Python SFML bindings found
+- Most alternatives were archived by 2021
+
+## Option Analysis
+
+### Option 1: Use Existing python-sfml
+**Pros**:
+- No development work needed
+- Established API
+
+**Cons**:
+- Incompatible with SFML 2.6.1
+- Would require downgrading to SFML 2.3.2
+- Abandoned project (security/bug risks)
+- Installation issues reported
+
+**Verdict**: Not viable due to version incompatibility and abandonment
+
+### Option 2: Fork and Update python-sfml
+**Pros**:
+- Leverage existing codebase
+- Maintain API compatibility
+
+**Cons**:
+- Significant work to update from 2.3.2 to 2.6.1
+- Cython complexity
+- Maintenance burden of external codebase
+- Still requires users to pip install separately
+
+**Verdict**: High effort with limited benefit
+
+### Option 3: Direct Integration (Recommended)
+**Pros**:
+- Full control over implementation
+- Tight integration with McRogueFace
+- No external dependencies
+- Can expose exactly what we need
+- Built-in module (no pip install)
+- Can maintain API compatibility with python-sfml
+
+**Cons**:
+- Development effort required
+- Need to maintain bindings
+
+**Verdict**: Best long-term solution
+
+## Implementation Plan for Direct Integration
+
+### 1. Module Structure
+```python
+# Built-in module: mcrfpy.sfml
+import mcrfpy.sfml as sf
+
+# Maintain compatibility with python-sfml API
+window = sf.RenderWindow(sf.VideoMode(800, 600), "My Window")
+sprite = sf.Sprite()
+texture = sf.Texture()
+```
+
+### 2. Priority Classes to Expose
+
+**Phase 1 - Core Types** (Already partially done):
+- [x] `sf::Vector2f`, `sf::Vector2i`
+- [x] `sf::Color`
+- [ ] `sf::Rect` (FloatRect, IntRect)
+- [ ] `sf::VideoMode`
+- [ ] `sf::Time`, `sf::Clock`
+
+**Phase 2 - Graphics**:
+- [x] `sf::Texture` (partial)
+- [x] `sf::Font` (partial)
+- [ ] `sf::Sprite` (full exposure)
+- [ ] `sf::Text`
+- [ ] `sf::Shape` hierarchy
+- [ ] `sf::View`
+- [ ] `sf::RenderWindow` (carefully managed)
+
+**Phase 3 - Window/Input**:
+- [ ] `sf::Event` and event types
+- [ ] `sf::Keyboard` enums
+- [ ] `sf::Mouse` enums
+- [ ] `sf::Joystick`
+
+**Phase 4 - Audio** (lower priority):
+- [ ] `sf::SoundBuffer`
+- [ ] `sf::Sound`
+- [ ] `sf::Music`
+
+### 3. Design Principles
+
+1. **API Compatibility**: Match python-sfml's API where possible
+2. **Memory Safety**: Use shared_ptr for resource management
+3. **Thread Safety**: Consider GIL implications
+4. **Integration**: Allow mixing with existing mcrfpy types
+5. **Documentation**: Comprehensive docstrings
+
+### 4. Technical Considerations
+
+**Resource Sharing**:
+- McRogueFace already manages SFML resources
+- Need to share textures/fonts between mcrfpy and sfml modules
+- Use the same underlying SFML objects
+
+**Window Management**:
+- McRogueFace owns the main window
+- Expose read-only access or controlled modification
+- Prevent users from closing/destroying the game window
+
+**Event Handling**:
+- Game engine processes events in main loop
+- Need mechanism to expose events to Python safely
+- Consider callback system or event queue
+
+### 5. Implementation Phases
+
+**Phase 1** (1-2 weeks):
+- Create `mcrfpy.sfml` module structure
+- Implement basic types (Vector, Color, Rect)
+- Add comprehensive tests
+
+**Phase 2** (2-3 weeks):
+- Expose graphics classes
+- Implement resource sharing with mcrfpy
+- Create example scripts
+
+**Phase 3** (2-3 weeks):
+- Add window/input functionality
+- Integrate with game event loop
+- Performance optimization
+
+**Phase 4** (1 week):
+- Audio support
+- Documentation
+- PyPI packaging of mcrfpy.sfml separately
+
+## Benefits of Direct Integration
+
+1. **No Version Conflicts**: Always in sync with our SFML version
+2. **Better Performance**: Direct C++ bindings without Cython overhead
+3. **Selective Exposure**: Only expose what makes sense for game scripting
+4. **Integrated Documentation**: Part of McRogueFace docs
+5. **Future-Proof**: We control the implementation
+
+## Migration Path for Users
+
+Users familiar with python-sfml can easily migrate:
+```python
+# Old python-sfml code
+import sfml as sf
+
+# New McRogueFace code
+import mcrfpy.sfml as sf
+# Most code remains the same!
+```
+
+## Conclusion
+
+Direct integration as `mcrfpy.sfml` provides the best balance of control, compatibility, and user experience. While it requires development effort, it ensures long-term maintainability and tight integration with McRogueFace's architecture.
+
+The abandoned state of python-sfml actually presents an opportunity: we can provide a modern, maintained SFML binding for Python as part of McRogueFace, potentially attracting users who need SFML 2.6+ support.

+<h2>Overview</h2>
+
+<p>McRogueFace Python API\n\nCore game engine interface for creating roguelike games with Python.\n\nThis module provides:\n- Scene management (createScene, setScene, currentScene)\n- UI components (Frame, Caption, Sprite, Grid)\n- Entity system for game objects\n- Audio playback (sound effects and music)\n- Timer system for scheduled events\n- Input handling\n- Performance metrics\n\nExample:\n    import mcrfpy\n    \n    # Create a new scene\n    mcrfpy.createScene('game')\n    mcrfpy.setScene('game')\n    \n    # Add UI elements\n    frame = mcrfpy.Frame(10, 10, 200, 100)\n    caption = mcrfpy.Caption('Hello World', 50, 50)\n    mcrfpy.sceneUI().extend([frame, caption])\n</p>

+
+// === Thread Safety Considerations ===
+
+// The --exec approach requires NO thread safety changes because:
+// 1. All scripts run in the same Python interpreter
+// 2. Scripts execute sequentially during initialization
+// 3. After initialization, only callbacks run (timer/input based)
+// 4. C++ maintains control of the render loop
+
+// This is the "honor system" - scripts must:
+// - Set up their callbacks/timers
+// - Return control to C++
+// - Not block or run infinite loops
+// - Use timers for periodic tasks
+
+// === Future Extensions ===
+
+// 1. Script communication via shared Python modules
+// game.py:
+//   import mcrfpy
+//   mcrfpy.game_state = {"level": 1, "score": 0}
+//
+// automation.py:
+//   import mcrfpy
+//   if mcrfpy.game_state["level"] == 1:
+//       # Test level 1 specific features
+
+// 2. Priority-based script execution
+// ./mcrogueface game.py --exec-priority high:critical.py --exec-priority low:logging.py
+
+// 3. Conditional execution
+// ./mcrogueface game.py --exec-if-scene menu:menu_test.py --exec-if-scene game:game_test.py

+</h4>
+<p>To do this tutorial, you’ll need Python version 3.7 or higher. The
+latest version of Python is recommended (currently 3.8 as of June
+2020). <strong>Note: Python 2 is not compatible.</strong></p>
+<p><a href="https://www.python.org/downloads/">Download Python here</a>.</p>
+<p>You’ll also want the latest version of the TCOD library, which is what
+this tutorial is based on.</p>
+<p><a href="https://python-tcod.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html">Installation instructions for TCOD can be found
+here.</a></p>
+<p>While you can certainly install TCOD and complete this tutorial without
+it, I’d highly recommend using a virtual environment. <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html">Documentation on
+how to do that can be found
+here.</a></p>
+<p>Additionally, if you are going to use a virtual environment, you may want to take the time to set up a <code>requirements.txt</code>
+ file. This will allow you to track your project dependencies if you add
+ any in the future, and more easily install them if you need to (for 
+example, if you pull from a remote git repository).</p>
+<p>You can set up your <code>requirements.txt</code> file in the same directory that you plan on working in for the project. Create the file <code>requirements.txt</code> and put the following in it:</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-text" data-lang="text"><span style="display:flex;"><span>tcod&gt;=11.13
+</span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span>numpy&gt;=1.18</span></span></code></pre></div>
+<p>Once that’s done, with your virtual environment activated, type the following command:</p>
+<p><code>pip install -r requirements.txt</code></p>
+<p>This should install the TCOD library, along with its dependency, numpy.</p>
+<p>Depending on your computer, you might also need to install SDL2.
+Check the instructions for installing it based on your operating system.
+For example, Ubuntu can install it with the following command:</p>
+<p><code>sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev</code></p>

+  </a>
+</h4>
+<p>Any text editor can work for writing Python. You could even use Notepad
+if you really wanted to. Personally, I’m a fan of
+<a href="https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/">Pycharm</a> and <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/">Visual Studio
+Code</a>. Whatever you choose, I strongly
+recommend something that can help catch Python syntax errors at the very
+least. I’ve been working with Python for over five years, and I still
+make these types of mistakes all the time!</p>

+  </a>
+</h4>
+<p>To verify that your installation of both Python 3 and TCOD are working,
+create a new file (in whatever directory you plan on using for the
+tutorial) called <code>main.py</code>, and enter the following text into it:</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-py3" data-lang="py3"><span style="display:flex;"><span><span style="color:#75715e">#!/usr/bin/env python3</span>
+</span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span><span style="color:#f92672">import</span> tcod
+</span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span>
+</span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span>
+</span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span><span style="color:#66d9ef">def</span> <span style="color:#a6e22e">main</span>():
+</span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span>    print(<span style="color:#e6db74">"Hello World!"</span>)
+</span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span>
+</span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span>
+</span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span><span style="color:#66d9ef">if</span> __name__ <span style="color:#f92672">==</span> <span style="color:#e6db74">"__main__"</span>:
+</span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span>    main()
+</span></span></code></pre></div><p>Run the file in your terminal (or alternatively in your editor, if
+possible):</p>
+<p><code>python main.py</code></p>
+<p>If you’re not using <code>virtualenv</code>, the command will probably look like
+this:</p>
+<p><code>python3 main.py</code></p>
+<p>You should see “Hello World!” printed out to the terminal. If you
+receive an error, there is probably an issue with either your Python or
+TCOD installation.</p>

+<p>*<em>Also taken from part 6.</em></p>
+<p>Clicking a button above the code section changes the “style” for not just that code block,
+but the entire website. You can switch between these styles at any time.</p>
+<p>In the case of the example above, you would remove the old <code>__init__</code> definition, replacing
+it with the new one. Then, you’d add the necessary lines at the bottom. Both styles convey
+the same idea.</p>
+<p>But what’s the difference? The “Diff” style shows the code as you might find it when doing
+a Git diff comparison (hence the name). It shows plusses and minuses on the side to denote
+whether you should be adding or subtracting a line from a file. The “Original” style shows
+the same thing, but it crosses out the lines to remove and does not have plusses nor minuses.</p>
+<p>The benefit of the “Diff” style is that it doesn’t rely on color to denote what to add, making
+it more accessible all around. The drawback is that it’s impossible to accurately display the
+proper indentation in some instances. The plusses and minuses take up one space, so in a code
+section like this one, be sure not to leave the space for the plus in your code (there should
+be no spaces before “from”):</p>

+
+<span class="new-text">from input_handlers import handle_keys</span></pre>
+
+</div>
+
+</div>
+
+<p>The “Original” style omits the + and - symbols and doesn’t have the indentation issue,
+making it a bit easier to copy and paste code sections.</p>
+<p>Which style you use is a matter of personal preference. The actual code of the tutorial
+remains the same.</p>

+<p>This tutorial is largely based off the <a href="http://www.roguebasin.com/index.php?title=Complete_Roguelike_Tutorial,_using_python%2Blibtcod">one found on Roguebasin</a>.
+ Many of the design decisions were mainly to keep this tutorial in

+contributors to tcod and python-tcod over the years.</p>
+<p>This part assumes that you have either checked <a href="https://rogueliketutorials.com/tutorials/tcod/part-0">Part 0</a>
+ and are already set up and ready to go. If not, be sure to check that 
+page, and make sure that you’ve got Python and TCOD installed, and a 
+file called <code>main.py</code> created in the directory that you want to work in.</p>
+<p>Assuming that you’ve done all that, let’s get started. Modify (or create, if you haven’t already) the file <code>main.py</code> to look like this:</p>

+<p>You can run the program like any other Python program, but for those who are brand new, you do that by typing <code>python main.py</code> in the terminal. If you have both Python 2 and 3 installed on your machine, you might have to use <code>python3 main.py</code> to run (it depends on your default python, and whether you’re using a virtualenv or not).</p>
+<p>Alternatively, because of the first line, <code>#!usr/bin/env python</code>, you can run the program by typing <code>./main.py</code>,
+ assuming you’ve either activated your virtual environment, or installed
+ tcod on your base Python installation. This line is called a “shebang”.</p>
+<p>Okay, not the most exciting program in the world, I admit, but we’ve 
+already got our first major difference from the other tutorial. Namely, 
+this funky looking thing here:</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-py3" data-lang="py3"><span style="display:flex;"><span><span style="color:#66d9ef">if</span> __name__ <span style="color:#f92672">==</span> <span style="color:#e6db74">"__main__"</span>:
+</span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span>    main()</span></span></code></pre></div>
+<p>So what does that do? Basically, we’re saying that we’re only going 
+to run the “main” function when we explicitly run the script, using <code>python main.py</code>. It’s not super important that you understand this now, but if you want a more detailed explanation, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/419185">this answer on Stack Overflow</a> gives a pretty good overview.</p>
+<p>Confirm that the above program runs (if not, there’s probably an 
+issue with your tcod setup). Once that’s done, we can move on to bigger 
+and better things. The first major step to creating any roguelike is 
+getting an ‘@’ character on the screen and moving, so let’s get started 
+with that.</p>
+<p>Modify <code>main.py</code> to look like this:</p>

+close it.</p>
+<p>There’s a lot going on here, so let’s break it down line by line.</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-py3" data-lang="py3"><span style="display:flex;"><span>    screen_width <span style="color:#f92672">=</span> <span style="color:#ae81ff">80</span>

+<p>This is simple enough. We’re defining some variables for the screen size.</p>
+<p>Eventually, we’ll load these values from a JSON file rather than hard
+ coding them in the source, but we won’t worry about that until we have 
+some more variables like this.</p>

+<p>Here, we’re telling tcod which font to use. The <code>"dejavu10x10_gs_tc.png"</code> bit is the actual file we’re reading from (this should exist in your project folder).</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-py3" data-lang="py3"><span style="display:flex;"><span>    <span style="color:#66d9ef">with</span> tcod<span style="color:#f92672">.</span>context<span style="color:#f92672">.</span>new_terminal(

+</span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span>    ) <span style="color:#66d9ef">as</span> context:</span></span></code></pre></div>
+<p>This part is what actually creates the screen. We’re giving it the <code>screen_width</code> and <code>screen_height</code>
+ values from before (80 and 50, respectively), along with a title 
+(change this if you’ve already got your game’s name figured out). <code>tileset</code> uses the tileset we defined earlier. and <code>vsync</code> will either enable or disable vsync, which shouldn’t matter too much in our case.</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-py3" data-lang="py3"><span style="display:flex;"><span>        root_console <span style="color:#f92672">=</span> tcod<span style="color:#f92672">.</span>Console(screen_width, screen_height, order<span style="color:#f92672">=</span><span style="color:#e6db74">"F"</span>)</span></span></code></pre></div>
+<p>This creates our “console” which is what we’ll be drawing to. We also
+ set this console’s width and height to the same as our new terminal. 
+The “order” argument affects the order of our x and y variables in numpy
+ (an underlying library that tcod uses). By default, numpy accesses 2D 
+arrays in [y, x] order, which is fairly unintuitive. By setting <code>order="F"</code>, we can change this to be [x, y] instead. This will make more sense once we start drawing the map.</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-py3" data-lang="py3"><span style="display:flex;"><span>        <span style="color:#66d9ef">while</span> <span style="color:#66d9ef">True</span>:</span></span></code></pre></div>
+<p>This is what’s called our ‘game loop’. Basically, this is a loop that
+ won’t ever end, until we close the screen. Every game has some sort of 
+game loop or another.</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-py3" data-lang="py3"><span style="display:flex;"><span>            root_console<span style="color:#f92672">.</span>print(x<span style="color:#f92672">=</span><span style="color:#ae81ff">1</span>, y<span style="color:#f92672">=</span><span style="color:#ae81ff">1</span>, string<span style="color:#f92672">=</span><span style="color:#e6db74">"@"</span>)</span></span></code></pre></div>
+<p>This line is what tells the program to actually put the “@” symbol on the screen in its proper place. We’re telling the <code>root_console</code> we created to <code>print</code> the “@” symbol at the given x and y coordinates. Try changing the x and y values and see what happens, if you feel so inclined.</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-py3" data-lang="py3"><span style="display:flex;"><span>            context<span style="color:#f92672">.</span>present(root_console)</span></span></code></pre></div>
+<p>Without this line, nothing would actually print out on the screen. This is because <code>context.present</code> is what actually updates the screen with what we’ve told it to display so far.</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-py3" data-lang="py3"><span style="display:flex;"><span>            <span style="color:#66d9ef">for</span> event <span style="color:#f92672">in</span> tcod<span style="color:#f92672">.</span>event<span style="color:#f92672">.</span>wait():

+<p>This part gives us a way to gracefully exit (i.e. not crashing) the program by hitting the <code>X</code> button in the console’s window. The line <code>for event in tcod.event.wait()</code>
+ will wait for some sort of input from the user (mouse clicks, keyboard 
+strokes, etc.) and loop through each event that happened. <code>SystemExit()</code> tells Python to quit the current running program.</p>
+<p>Alright, our “@” symbol is successfully displayed on the screen, but 
+we can’t rest just yet. We still need to get it moving around!</p>
+<p>We need to keep track of the player’s position at all times. Since 
+this is a 2D game, we can express this in two data points: the <code>x</code> and <code>y</code> coordinates. Let’s create two variables, <code>player_x</code> and <code>player_y</code>, to keep track of this.</p>

+<p>So, how do we actually capture the user’s input? TCOD makes this 
+pretty easy, and in fact, we’re already doing it. This line takes care 
+of it for us:</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-py3" data-lang="py3"><span style="display:flex;"><span>            <span style="color:#66d9ef">for</span> event <span style="color:#f92672">in</span> tcod<span style="color:#f92672">.</span>event<span style="color:#f92672">.</span>wait():</span></span></code></pre></div>
+<p>It gets the “events”, which we can then process. Events range from 
+mouse movements to keyboard strokes. Let’s start by getting some basic 
+keyboard commands and processing them, and based on what we get, we’ll 
+move our little “@” symbol around.</p>
+<p>We <em>could</em> identify which key is being pressed right here in <code>main.py</code>,
+ but this is a good opportunity to break our project up a little bit. 
+Sooner or later, we’re going to have quite a few potential keyboard 
+commands, so putting them all in <code>main.py</code> would make the file longer than it needs to be. Maybe we should import what we need into <code>main.py</code> rather than writing it all there.</p>
+<p>To handle the keyboard inputs and the actions associated with them, let’s actually create <em>two</em>
+ new files. One will hold the different types of “actions” our rogue can
+ perform, and the other will bridge the gap between the keys we press 
+and those actions.</p>
+<p>Create two new Python files in your project’s directory, one called <code>input_handlers.py</code>, and the other called <code>actions.py</code>. Let’s fill out <code>actions.py</code> first:</p>

+<p>We define three classes: <code>Action</code>, <code>EscapeAction</code>, and <code>MovementAction</code>. <code>EscapeAction</code> and <code>MovementAction</code> are subclasses of <code>Action</code>.</p>
+<p>So what’s the plan for these classes? Basically, whenever we have an “action”, we’ll use one of the subclasses of <code>Action</code> to describe it. We’ll be able to detect which subclass we’re using, and respond accordingly. In this case, <code>EscapeAction</code> will be when we hit the <code>Esc</code> key (to exit the game), and <code>MovementAction</code> will be used to describe our player moving around.</p>
+<p>There might be instances where we need to know more than just the “type” of action, like in the case of <code>MovementAction</code>. There, we need to know not only that we’re trying to move, but in which direction. Therefore, we can pass the <code>dx</code> and <code>dy</code> arguments to <code>MovementAction</code>, which will tell us where the player is trying to move to. Other <code>Action</code> subclasses might contain additional data as well, and others might just be subclasses with nothing else in them, like <code>EscapeAction</code>.</p>
+<p>That’s all we need to do in <code>actions.py</code> right now. Let’s fill out <code>input_handlers.py</code>, which will use the <code>Action</code> class and subclasses we just created:</p>

+<p>This is part of Python’s type hinting system (which you don’t have to include in your project). <code>Optional</code> denotes something that could be set to <code>None</code>.</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-py3" data-lang="py3"><span style="display:flex;"><span><span style="color:#f92672">import</span> tcod.event

+<p>We’re importing <code>tcod.event</code> so that we can use tcod’s event system. We don’t need to import <code>tcod</code>, as we only need the contents of <code>event</code>.</p>
+<p>The next line imports the <code>Action</code> class and its subclasses that we just created.</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-py3" data-lang="py3"><span style="display:flex;"><span><span style="color:#66d9ef">class</span> <span style="color:#a6e22e">EventHandler</span>(tcod<span style="color:#f92672">.</span>event<span style="color:#f92672">.</span>EventDispatch[Action]):</span></span></code></pre></div>
+<p>We’re creating a class called <code>EventHandler</code>, which is a subclass of tcod’s <code>EventDispatch</code> class. <code>EventDispatch</code>
+ is a class that allows us to send an event to its proper method based 
+on what type of event it is. Let’s take a look at the methods we’re 
+creating for <code>EventHandler</code> to see a few examples of this.</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-py3" data-lang="py3"><span style="display:flex;"><span>    <span style="color:#66d9ef">def</span> <span style="color:#a6e22e">ev_quit</span>(self, event: tcod<span style="color:#f92672">.</span>event<span style="color:#f92672">.</span>Quit) <span style="color:#f92672">-&gt;</span> Optional[Action]:

+<p>Here’s an example of us using a method of <code>EventDispatch</code>: <code>ev_quit</code> is a method defined in <code>EventDispatch</code>, which we’re overriding in <code>EventHandler</code>. <code>ev_quit</code>
+ is called when we receive a “quit” event, which happens when we click 
+the “X” in the window of the program. In that case, we want to quit the 
+program, so we raise <code>SystemExit()</code> to do so.</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-py3" data-lang="py3"><span style="display:flex;"><span>    <span style="color:#66d9ef">def</span> <span style="color:#a6e22e">ev_keydown</span>(self, event: tcod<span style="color:#f92672">.</span>event<span style="color:#f92672">.</span>KeyDown) <span style="color:#f92672">-&gt;</span> Optional[Action]:</span></span></code></pre></div>
+<p>This method will receive key press events, and return either an <code>Action</code> subclass, or <code>None</code>, if no valid key was pressed.</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-py3" data-lang="py3"><span style="display:flex;"><span>        action: Optional[Action] <span style="color:#f92672">=</span> <span style="color:#66d9ef">None</span>

+<p><code>action</code> is the variable that will hold whatever subclass of <code>Action</code> we end up assigning it to. If no valid key press is found, it will remain set to <code>None</code>. We’ll return it either way.</p>
+<p><code>key</code> holds the actual key we pressed. It doesn’t contain additional information about modifiers like <code>Shift</code> or <code>Alt</code>, just the actual key that was pressed. That’s all we need right now.</p>
+<p>From there, we go down a list of possible keys pressed. For example:</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-py3" data-lang="py3"><span style="display:flex;"><span>        <span style="color:#66d9ef">if</span> key <span style="color:#f92672">==</span> tcod<span style="color:#f92672">.</span>event<span style="color:#f92672">.</span>K_UP:
+</span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span>            action <span style="color:#f92672">=</span> MovementAction(dx<span style="color:#f92672">=</span><span style="color:#ae81ff">0</span>, dy<span style="color:#f92672">=-</span><span style="color:#ae81ff">1</span>)</span></span></code></pre></div>
+<p>In this case, the user pressed the up-arrow key, so we’re creating a <code>MovementAction</code>. Notice that here (and in all the other cases of <code>MovementAction</code>) we provide <code>dx</code> and <code>dy</code>. These describe which direction our character will move in.</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-py3" data-lang="py3"><span style="display:flex;"><span>        <span style="color:#66d9ef">elif</span> key <span style="color:#f92672">==</span> tcod<span style="color:#f92672">.</span>event<span style="color:#f92672">.</span>K_ESCAPE:
+</span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span>            action <span style="color:#f92672">=</span> EscapeAction()</span></span></code></pre></div>
+<p>If the user pressed the “Escape” key, we return <code>EscapeAction</code>. We’ll use this to exit the game for now, though in the future, <code>EscapeAction</code> can be used to do things like exit menus.</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-py3" data-lang="py3"><span style="display:flex;"><span>        <span style="color:#66d9ef">return</span> action</span></span></code></pre></div>
+<p>Whether <code>action</code> is assigned to an <code>Action</code> subclass or <code>None</code>, we return it.</p>
+<p>Let’s put our new actions and input handlers to use in <code>main.py</code>. Edit <code>main.py</code> like this:</p>

+<p>Let’s break down the new additions a bit.</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-py3" data-lang="py3"><span style="display:flex;"><span><span style="color:#f92672">from</span> actions <span style="color:#f92672">import</span> EscapeAction, MovementAction

+<p>We’re importing the <code>EscapeAction</code> and <code>MovementAction</code> from <code>actions</code>, and <code>EventHandler</code> from <code>input_handlers</code>. This allows us to use the functions we wrote in those files in our <code>main</code> file.</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-py3" data-lang="py3"><span style="display:flex;"><span>    event_handler <span style="color:#f92672">=</span> EventHandler()</span></span></code></pre></div>
+<p><code>event_handler</code> is an instance of our <code>EventHandler</code> class. We’ll use it to receive events and process them.</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-py3" data-lang="py3"><span style="display:flex;"><span>                action <span style="color:#f92672">=</span> event_handler<span style="color:#f92672">.</span>dispatch(event)</span></span></code></pre></div>
+<p>We send the <code>event</code> to our <code>event_handler</code>’s “dispatch” method, which sends the event to its proper place. In this case, a keyboard event will be sent to the <code>ev_keydown</code> method we wrote. The <code>Action</code> returned from that method is assigned to our local <code>action</code> variable.</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-py3" data-lang="py3"><span style="display:flex;"><span>                <span style="color:#66d9ef">if</span> action <span style="color:#f92672">is</span> <span style="color:#66d9ef">None</span>:
+</span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span>                    <span style="color:#66d9ef">continue</span></span></span></code></pre></div>
+<p>This is pretty straightforward: If <code>action</code> is <code>None</code>
+ (that is, no key was pressed, or the key pressed isn’t recognized), 
+then we skip over the rest the loop. There’s no need to go any further, 
+since the lines below are going to handle the valid key presses.</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-py3" data-lang="py3"><span style="display:flex;"><span>                <span style="color:#66d9ef">if</span> isinstance(action, MovementAction):
+</span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span>                    player_x <span style="color:#f92672">+=</span> action<span style="color:#f92672">.</span>dx
+</span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span>                    player_y <span style="color:#f92672">+=</span> action<span style="color:#f92672">.</span>dy</span></span></code></pre></div>
+<p>Now we arrive at the interesting part. If the <code>action</code> is an instance of the class <code>MovementAction</code>, we need to move our “@” symbol. We grab the <code>dx</code> and <code>dy</code> values we gave to <code>MovementAction</code> earlier, which will move the “@” symbol in which direction we want it to move. <code>dx</code> and <code>dy</code>, as of now, will only ever be -1, 0, or 1. Regardless of what the value is, we add <code>dx</code> and <code>dy</code> to <code>player_x</code> and <code>player_y</code>, respectively. Because the console is using <code>player_x</code> and <code>player_y</code> to draw where our “@” symbol is, modifying these two variables will cause the symbol to move.</p>
+<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-py3" data-lang="py3"><span style="display:flex;"><span>                <span style="color:#66d9ef">elif</span> isinstance(action, EscapeAction):
+</span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span>                    <span style="color:#66d9ef">raise</span> <span style="color:#a6e22e">SystemExit</span>()</span></span></code></pre></div>
+<p><code>raise SystemExit()</code> should look familiar: it’s how we’re quitting out of the program. So basically, if the user hits the <code>Esc</code> key, our program should exit.</p>
+<p>With all that done, let’s run the program and see what happens!</p>
+<p>Indeed, our “@” symbol does move, but… it’s perhaps not what was expected.</p>
+<p><img src="Part%201%20-%20Drawing%20the%20'@'%20symbol%20and%20moving%20it%20around%20%C2%B7%20Roguelike%20Tutorials_files/snake_the_roguelike.png" alt="Snake the Roguelike?" title="Snake the Roguelike?"></p>
+<p>Unless you’re making a roguelike version of “Snake” (and who knows, 
+maybe you are), we need to fix the “@” symbol being left behind wherever
+ we move. So why is this happening in the first place?</p>
+<p>Turns out, we need to “clear” the console after we’ve drawn it, or 
+we’ll get these leftovers when we draw symbols in their new places. 
+Luckily, this is as easy as adding one line:</p>

+  <button class="btn btn-secondary data-toggle-tab" data-toggle-tab="original">

+  </button>
+
+  
+<div class="data-pane active" data-pane="diff">
+  
+<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-diff" data-lang="diff"><span style="display:flex;"><span>    ...
+</span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span>        while True:
+</span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span>            root_console.print(x=player_x, y=player_y, string="@")
+</span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span>
+</span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span>            context.present(root_console)
+</span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span>
+</span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span><span style="color:#a6e22e">+           root_console.clear()
+</span></span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span><span style="color:#a6e22e"></span>
+</span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span>            for event in tcod.event.wait():
+</span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span>                ...

+
+</div>
+<div class="data-pane" data-pane="original">
+  
+<pre>    ...
+        while True:
+            root_console.print(x=player_x, y=player_y, string="@")
+
+            context.present(root_console)
+
+            <span class="new-text">root_console.clear()</span>
+
+            for event in tcod.event.wait():

+
+</div>
+
+</div>
+
+<p>That’s it! Run the project now, and the “@” symbol will move around, without leaving traces of itself behind.</p>
+<p>That wraps up part one of this tutorial! If you’re using git or some
+other form of version control (and I recommend you do), commit your
+changes now.</p>
