displaying up-to-date info in terminal without clutter.

[plain flax]

i want to make a game in python that i can play in the terminal (might add gui later). my question is this: how would i display all the info a player would need without making the terminal a unreadable mess? my idea rn is the have it clear the terminal and send a new message with the most up-to-date info, i just dont know how to do that.

Clearing might lead to flickering etc.

You're probably looking for something like ncurses (https://docs.python.org/3/howto/curses.html) or a higher-level abstraction around it like pytermgui (https://github.com/bczsalba/pytermgui)

i’ll check both of those out thank you

can you explain PyTermGUI to me a bit? i'm having minor troubles understanding lol

It's basically a terminal UI framework

Instead of clearing and then printing everything again only certain parts get replaced -> No flickering
