Does not work for me on arch

[tdi]

The screen just prints these in some kind of a loop, instead of the game:

My terminal is $TERM=xterm-256color

I heard it crashes in the same way on urxvt. I tested it on urxvt and it works for me. Could you test if 'tput' works in your terminal?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tput

I use it to generate ANSI escape sequences.

[tdi]

tput does not seem to work either. Tested on terminator, urxvt and xterm.

[ciembor]

Every has 256 colors? That could be a problem...

[tdi]

Yes, every has 256 colors. Got and idea, instead of using tput, why not using ANSI escape codes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code . Just like colorama for python does it and it works on every term.

[ciembor]

tput generates ansii excape codes, so I use them:). I will look at this tomorrow.

[dolmen]

@tdi: ANSI escape codes are not portable: they are terminal dependent. tput uses the definition of your terminal in /usr/share/terminfo based on $TERM. So just install tput from your distribution packages. On Debian this program is packaged in ncurses-bin.

@ciembor: using tput is the right way to do it! However, an early check of the presence of the program would be good.

[tdi]

@dolmen Ive got tput from my distro.

[ciembor]

I tried with urxvt -depth 32 and it works. So the problem must be elsewhere. Could you try to run urxvt with -insecure option? I doubt it's the problem (because I don't use it), but you could try...

//edit

Here is a file generated with tput setf 5 >> a.txt && echo "color" >> a.txt && tput setf 4 >> a.txt && echo 'color' >> a.txt:

http://ciemborowicz.pl/priv/a.txt

So you can check if echo a.txt returns colorized text. You must save this file, not just copy/paste. You could also generate your own file and put it somewhere, because I don't know if the problem is with your tput or terminal.

[tdi]

Ok urxvt does not work with either of the options. Also the command returns completely empty file. Ill look into it more, it has to be some problem on my side with some old stale config or something,

[dolmen]

@tdi Send us the output of the infocmp command.

[dolmen]

@ciembor On my system, xterm-256color does not have setf/setb. Use instead setaf/setab. But some colors are exchanged.

[tdi]

@dolmen yes, setap and setaf works just fine.

[ciembor]

OK. so this should fix it: https://github.com/ciembor/TerminalHero/commit/ce2a637e30b69a659391e98c76d871ed6da61118 :). Let me know if the new version works.

[tdi]

Works, thanks.
