If noone else minds I'll have a go at a pyGTK version of that in the morning. Hopefully I'll have a working-ish version by the end of the week.

Maybe this would be out of the scope of your project, but what I would really find useful is a way to work on animations and timings outside of the game.

Isn't Shadow_MAster doing that?

Unit editor I vote for it ^^

I think Shadow Master was working on one. But sadly, that would only cut a minimal amount of time from the process...

No.

I was working on an advanced team-colorizer CLI application. It is finished anyway, but I'm not showing it to the public yet because it is not very user-friendly yet.

@Iron_Force, easy with the bright, annoying to read text colours please? What's wrong with the same 'black' that everyone else uses?

Use a moving GIF animator. Thats what I use to get timing right.

That helps. However, attacks involve several more things: a slide, defense frames, and contact with another unit that has to occur at the right time. (It doesn't always look right at time=0.) It would also be nice to check an animation or frame in front of several game backgrounds quickly. Also, GIF's can't handle partial transparencies which can be important for some units.

[doofus-01]

The GIF transparency problem can usually be avoided if you save each frame with a white background.

But beetlenaut is right, there are some things that a GIF animation won't catch. I'd also add "the alignment of the frame if it is bigger than 72X72" to the list.

[Unnheulu]

Perhaps I'll do that next.

I would just like to point to certain things pointed out in another thread (on this very board, actually):

Those put out on the second page I find especially worthy at least reading through, to my mind.
