Pyfancy v3

[CosmicWebServices]

I want to start thinking about creating the next version of Pyfancy. Just some things I want to do. Instead of just styling the terminal I now want Pyfancy to work for all things terminal such as progress bars, menus and better inputs. I also want it to be cross-compatible and light weight.

• Better formatting based on bbcode or markdown.
• Progress bars
• Menu select
• Long console prints with "scroll bars"
• Plugins?

Also some non-coding things:

• Better website
• Pip (finally)
• Better review system
• Cleaner file system

If it's meant to be supported on as many platforms as possible, we should probably look into using curses.

@TheMonsterFromTheDeep Hello again! Yes, that was one of the options I was looking at. Have not had tons of time to work on Pyfancy unforchanatly.

[TheMonsterFromTheDeep]

@CosmicWebServices I might, just for fun, look into some possibilities this weekend. I imagine that there are also libraries for parsing Markdown/BBCode out there.

Ooh, interesting stuff! I might look into some of the scrolling bars and such over the weekend

[CosmicWebServices]

@TheMonsterFromTheDeep @joker314 Yay! Cool... I need to set aside time to really start working on this again. Any other ideas for additions?

[CosmicWebServices]

@TheMonsterFromTheDeep There are plenty of Markdown parses in python but unfortunately they output as HTML... well at least he ones I have found.

[joker314]

Ah, we need something to parse but not convert

[CosmicWebServices]

Also I made a v2 branch... unless we want to do what we did before and make a fork

[CosmicWebServices]

I am still researching how to parse markdown with python. We could make our own solution if it is better that way

[joker314]

I found that making a fork was really unfair on us because we contributed loads of code and barely showed up in the statistics. :(

I think branches are good 👍

(Ooh, could you make a note in the README not to trust the data in the GitHub stats)

[CosmicWebServices]

@joker314 Yeah I can do that and yes that was pretty unfair...

[CosmicWebServices]

@joker314 Fixed #56

[CosmicWebServices]

Also I think I should update the v2 branch because it is a little behind...

@joker314 I don't think anybody would really mind, but it's fine.

Edit: Sorry about the double post, my computer powered off and when I started Firefox again it didn't show my message so I assumed I hadn't posted it yet…

It looks like it would be possible to use https://github.com/lepture/mistune for markdown parsing.
