Utilities

texture includes some utilities for writing scenarios.

loader

Useful for loading scenarios in the game master, and as an alternative to writing return 'load X'. It is very easy to use:

from texture import loader

# class Scenario...

    def do_action(self, cmd):
        if cmd == 'go north':
            return loader('north')

---

dotick

Useful for continuing with next iteration of the main game loop, and as an alternative to writing return 'continue':

from texture import dotick

# class Scenario...

    def do_action(self, cmd):
        if cmd == 'pass':
            # Maybe do something here that changes the state?
            return dotick

---

tclear()

Clear the screen.

---

tnewline(times=1)

Prints the newline character the number of times specified.

---

tprint(text, dedent=True)

Prints text on screen. The dedent parameter is used to specify whether the text should be dedented and remove all blank spaces before the text (True) or should keep the indentation (False).

---

@printer

Decorator function that will print strings that are returned from the decorated function. Calls tprint() internally, so you can also supply the dedent parameter:

from texture import printer

# class Scenario...

    @printer
    def do_action(self, cmd):
        if cmd == 'look':
            return 'You look around and find nothing of interest'
