Showing the @ on screen

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import tdl

#actual size of the window
SCREEN_WIDTH = 80
SCREEN_HEIGHT = 65

LIMIT_FPS = 20  #20 frames-per-second maximum


tdl.set_font('arial10x10.png', greyscale=True, altLayout=True)

console = tdl.init(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, title="Roguelike", fullscreen=False)

tdl.setFPS(LIMIT_FPS)

while not tdl.event.is_window_closed():

    console.draw_char(1, 1, '@', bg=None, fg=(255,255,255))
    
    tdl.flush()
