It currently has bindings for [[C]], [[Cpp|C++]] and [[python]] languages.

Wrappers for [[C Sharp|C#]] are now built in as an official package. (Previously a separate project, [https://code.google.com/p/libtcod-net/ libtcod-net]). Unfortunately, C# bindings are only available for the older 1.5.1b1 beta release, not the latest stable version, 1.6.0.
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.


External wrappers also exists for [[D]] and [[Common Lisp]].
== Other ports ==


Mac OS X users of the current in-development version 1.6 will need to look to [https://github.com/podiki/libtcod-mac/ libtcod-mac]. The current stable release 1.5.1 includes Mac support.
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 The simplistic language bindings included with libtcod other than [[C++]] are no longer maintained.

The Doryen Library

Also known as libtcod, the Doryen Library is a collection of utilities originally built for The Chronicles of Doryen by Jice. The library has received many contributions from the community[5] and is now maintained by HexDecimal.

It is meant to be an uncomplicated library for roguelike developers.

  • windowed or full screen console with true color support
  • Mersenne twister and Complementary Multiply With Carry random number generator
  • inbuilt support for dice (string parsing, rolling)
  • Bresenham line drawing toolkit
  • Perlin, Simplex and Wavelet noise generator
  • field of view toolkit with 5 different algorithms
  • image toolkit with support for rotation/stretching and subcell resolution blitting
  • mouse support
  • bsp toolkit
  • heightmap toolkit
  • pathfinding toolkit (A* and Dijkstra)
  • 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.
