Part 7 Notes

[Evolution0]

At the end when the reader implements the mouse one thing I noticed which irked me a bit was that.. it seemed to do nothing, you have to actually point at something and then move your character/spend a turn for it to update. Changing:

            elif event.type == 'MOUSEMOTION':
                mouse_coordinates = event.cell

To:

            elif event.type == 'MOUSEMOTION':
                mouse_coordinates = event.cell
                fov_recompute = True

Fixes this. Can't say its the best way to do it but it does the job, possibly some panel specific redraw would be nice for such things but I suppose that is entirely up to the reader to implement on their own once they have finished the tutorial.

Edit: Feel free to ignore this if its something that is covered in a later section, I'm writing these as I go through the tutorial and its fresh in my mind.
