Here’s a Python implementation of Bjorn Bergstrom’s excellent recursive shadowcasting FOV algorithm. I’m sure there’s some optimization that could be done to it, but it might save you some time if you want to do a RL in Python.
This code runs in Windows using WCurses, and it should work on *nix with the standard curses module. It runs fine on my web hosting shell account via SSH.
