This seems pretty cool, extra neat it's in python. I've always had a pipedream to code my own 2d zelda or chrono trigger engine. I just could never figure out where to start.

This was posted here earlier this summer. I've been working my way through it and it's really quite well done. Really goes over the whole process soup-to-nuts.

I started building one here, then it morphed into something else. I have not touched it in a couple years:

Game programming is much, much different from web design. Dealing with an event loop and update loop, keeping state, etc. Its actually a lot of fun.

I used the python bindings for SFML

Me too, I've dabbled in tile-based shenanigans since I was a kid, but ultimately nothing ever materialized. One day...
