I am making a text-based game similar to Zork with Python. I have
decided to use the curses module, and have run into a problem. I want
to scroll the commands and output up after a command is run instead of
clearing the screen. But when I use std.scroll(), an exception is
raised. Here is the program:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# text_adventure.py
import curses
import curses.wrapper
def main(stdscr):
curses.echo()
stdscr.setscrreg(1, 24)
score = 0
moves = 0
statusbar = stdscr.subwin(2, 80, 0, 0)
statusbar.addstr(0, 0, 'Dingo'+' '*(58-len('Dingo'))+'Score: %03d
Moves: %03d'%(score, moves), curses.A_REVERSE)
stdscr.addstr(24, 0, '> ')
x = stdscr.getstr(24, 2)
x = str(x)
stdscr.refresh()
# stdscr.erase()
stdscr.scroll(3)
statusbar.erase()
statusbar.addstr(0, 0, x+' '*(58-len(x))+'Score: %03d Moves: %
03d'%(score, moves), curses.A_REVERSE)
stdscr.addstr(24, 0, '> ')
stdscr.getstr(24, 2)
curses.wrapper(main)
Unfortunately, the error message isn't very helpful. I'm just hoping
somebody out there knows curses and has the answer.
