Infinite map screenshots!

Near the origin

Somewhat further out

Today's progress has mostly been the tile information panel thing, which is only there as a means to the end of me working out what tiles need and playing with yamlui's text labels really.

If you want to play with it and have Python (>=2.7) + Pygame (something recent-ish, idk) installed, you can get the code from GitHub. You'll need to get yamlui too and place it alongside mapgen.py though. There isn't much in the way of actual functionality yet though, its still pretty much just a map generator.

Nice, hopefully I'll get time to have a play around soon

I've spent the last couple of days doing some initial work on "Stockpiles", which I intend to be some kind of resource drop-site type things. Currently you can only place them and select them. Actually tracking their contents and displaying information about them should be possible tomorrow .

Ooh, excellent (Also, recent work included in Updates from the Forge!)

Another year, another bit of work on Township. I did some refactoring to make it lots easier to display information in the UI, and I also implemented the beginning of support for villagers. Currently there is only one, its a black dot, and all it can do is be selected and told to walk in a straight line, but the groundwork is in place to support them properly now. The next step is making them be able to do things like gather resources and move them to stockpiles.

Nice Good luck with carving out some time for the next steps...!
