Making a Roguelike while chillin out part II

Let's continue with the development of the roguelike in the chill & python sessions.
As I mentioned earlier, when I have some free time and want to relax, I will turn on my youtube channel live streaming, put some cool music and start coding without pressure, just for fun.

All what I am going to talk about is in the game repo

First I wanted to clear a little the code in the main zone, something like this, kind of standard in curses libraries.

def main(stdscr):
     # my code here

wrapper(main)

From there it is way easier to code stuff, because even if now you see a lot of code there, in the future it will be easier to send the code to functions/classes.

The second change that I did was changing the way you send commands. Instead of writing a command, I will expect an ascii code, so, depending on which key the player press, it will do different stuff.For keypad there are special curses commands

while command != 101:
        stdscr.addstr(p.posy,p.posx,'@',curses.color_pair(1)) #WRITE THE CHARACTER
        #We need to put any enemy that is available in the room
        for i in room.enemies:
            stdscr.addstr(i.posy,i.posx,i.symbol)
        print_player(p, stdscr)
        print_board(stdscr)
        print_room(room,stdscr)
        command = stdscr.getch() #Interesting, this returns an ASCII char...
        stdscr.erase()
        if command == curses.KEY_LEFT: #Interesting, if I want to have arrows I should not convert ascii...
            if p.posx>1:
                p.posx -=1
        if command == curses.KEY_RIGHT:
            if p.posx<79:
                p.posx +=1
        if command == curses.KEY_UP:
            if p.posy>2:
                p.posy -=1
        if command == curses.KEY_DOWN:
            if p.posy<22:
                p.posy +=1        #Yes, terrible...
        #Move enemies
        room.move_enemies()

Now, I don't expect 'exit' or 'e', I just expect ASCII code 101 (e) to finish the main loop.
For movement of the character, now I have a position in x and y in the character class, so everytime the player press an arrow key, it moves.

This is what I added in the player constructor:

def __init__(self, name, creature):
        self.name = name
        self.creature = creature #let's start with human or elf.
        self.strength = 0
        self.defense = 0
        self.gold = 0
        self.room = '' #here is a question... do the character need to know where he is or the room should know who is there????
        self.posx = 10
        self.posy = 10

The ifs that I put in arrow movement are because I assume that a terminal is 80x25 (there might be other configurations but, as I have to have fixed positions, I want to make it possible to be run in almost any terminal).

Then is the enemies movement. I also added that position stuff to enemies in the room and gave them random movement in the room class.

def move_enemies(self):
         for i in self.enemies:
            move = random.randint(1,4)
            if move == 1: 
                if i.posx>1:
                    i.posx -=1
            if move == 2:
                if i.posx<79:
                    i.posx +=1
            if move == 3:
                if i.posy>2:
                    i.posy -=1
            if move == 4:
                if i.posy<22:
                    i.posy +=1

I know there might be better ways to do this but for now, this works and as logic starts to be harder, I will move all this.

Then added some colors and functions for the board and...
