- antialiased and Unicode font support
- custom/dynamic font characters mapping
- PNG images support
- customizable name generator with 20 predefined syllable sets
Python-tcod
Python-tcod is the official Python port. This port was able to fix significant performance issues with the previous ports by using NumPy arrays to pass data to the C library. This library is backwards compatible with the original Python bindings "libtcodpy" which have been deprecated.
Other ports
Since C is relatively easy to port the Doryen Library is sometimes ported to various languages. The simplistic language bindings included with libtcod other than C++ are no longer maintained.
