Description:
Dililatum 0.1
Have you ever heard of Dililatum?
Perhaps not. For Dililatum is Something New. Dililatum has a quest;
and that quest is to distribute Python power to quest-oriented
RPG-like computer-based keyboard-using video games. At least that’s
its purpose.
Dililatum can be considered a game engine, but in reality it’s a game
library. It is written in Python using PyGame for graphics and sound
in games. Dililatum also depends on NumPy. More specifically, it’s
like this:

$ dililatum GAME
If you choose not to install it, the Python file you should run is
called “dililatum” and located in the “bin” directory.
Note that Dililatum has many command-line options, which is why it’s a
good idea to run “dililatum –help”.
Dililatum comes with several tools for more easily developing
games. These are named ‘dilatiumdev*’.
Documentation is available in the “docs” directory.
