Revision 2. </p> <p>Just a simple text based Tic Tac Toe game for human vs computer play. </p> <p>The game and AI reside in the TTTGame class. AI uses brute force search for 'perfect play'.</p> <p>The CLI class provides a text based console user interface.</p>

Well, here is a console-based recipe that can do the same thing. This is committed for archival to be run under Python 2.5 or later versions.</p>

For instance: puts 'String'.bold.underline.blink.red for something truly hideous. Aside from the colors (all are supported, but I haven't put in support for background colors as of the time of this post), cursor placement (ymmv based on the term type), screen clearing, bold, underline, blink reverse, conceal are all handled as well.</p>

It expands user entered commands. Three styles of commands are accepted 'x comp myfile.c', 'x #!test myfile.exe test.dat' and 'x {print} myfile.c' to extract, expand and excute commands saved in a menu file, an arbitrary file or associated with a file type in the Win32 registry.</p>

It's clear and few lines of code. Enjoy! :-)</p>

Revision 13. </p> <p>After several attempts to use third-party modules I wrote my own console progress meter.</p> <p>Bonus list:</p> <ol> <li>calculation of ETA based on last update points. More accuracy when comparing with calculation ETA based on process start time (process can survive after Hibernate, but ETA has lost his accuracy)</li> <li>ability to write progress meter to sys.stderr</li> <li>update_left() method for multithreaded programs :)</li> </ol>
