Here is what I managed to achieve on my hangover weekend:
- Extracted all original sprites from Warcraft 2 with a little help of wargus tool.
- Learned how to replace default unit colors into other color
- Flipped some frames for left faced animations
These are common challenges when working with warcraft2 assets.
Lounch: py main.py, use arrow keys to walk and spacebar to attack.
I'm looking forward to add terrain and some nice Map class if I ll ever have free time.
Game module contains for the moment:
Sprite class, to work with sprite frames without headache, Object class (I might rename it to Unit later) and Scene class to which units are added and which also runs a game.
And this is footman:

FPS dropped to 200 while having 1000 hogs on screen. I was almost happy because I had Sprite, Unit and Actions it was time for a Map.
Map is not easy because first I needed a toool in which I could create a map and than import into game. After a little research it seems Tiled Map Editor returns a file in which in an one dimensional array I get map data, in which every element is a tile number from tileset. Of course that was enough and I tested displaying fixed size map. But I messed up a little with creating tilesets in Editor and also map rendering dropped fps again:
