Python 2 is very near end-of-life, and Python3-compatible changes to a
few scripts introduced compatibility problems with 2.7 again. It went
unnoticed for me since my system symlinks "python" to "python3", but
it broke the build on systems where that symlink is still python2. At
this point in time, I feel it is worth targetting modern Python and
forgetting about 2.7.
Using the black code reformatter, pass it over all our Python files.
This allows for a consistent style across the code base.
Exception: lumps/dmxgus/stats.py, for readability.
The tags are shorthand for the license of each file and avoid
copying the full license text into each one (and avoids having
to manually update the dates in each one...).
A couple of scripts were not Python 3 compatible. Update smtextgen to
use print() instead of bare print, and update the texture build script
to use the correct binary mode for writing binary files.
This is one of the screens of text shown between demos in the demo
loop. Generate this from the contents of a static text file. I
originally wanted to generate this programatically from the CREDITS
file but there are too many contributors to fit them all on the page.
Instead of generating text and image parts in separate stages, add
the ability to include an image in the smtextgen command line. This
makes the command line in the Makefile clearer.
The original Doom HELP screen showed the default key bindings for the
game's controls. This is not so useful nowadays: at worst it's
outright misleading because the player might not be using the
defaults, but it's also redundant because most modern source ports
allow the key bindings to be changed via the menus, which doubles as a
convenient list of the current key bindings.
Z0k suggested an alternative HELP screen that shows the items and
powerups available in the game. More discussion can be seen in this
thread: http://www.doomworld.com/vb/freedoom/69458-help/
