The Doryen Library

Also known as libtcod, the Doryen Library is a collection of utilities originally built for The Chronicles of Doryen by Jice. The library has received many contributions from the community[5] and is now maintained by HexDecimal.

It is meant to be an uncomplicated library for roguelike developers.

Python-tcod

Python-tcod is the official Python port. This port was able to fix significant performance issues with the previous ports by using NumPy arrays to pass data to the C library. This library is backwards compatible with the original Python bindings "libtcodpy" which have been deprecated.

Other ports

Since C is relatively easy to port the Doryen Library is sometimes ported to various languages. The simplistic language bindings included with libtcod other than C++ are no longer maintained.
