In-Game Python Interpreter

[dowski]

For those of you interested in interactively tweaking the game, you can access the Python interpreter while in the game if you have the "cheat code" enabled.

Instead of pushing "~" to bring up the cheat console, push <SHIFT> + "~" to get to the Python interpreter.

Maybe that info was available somewhere else, but I couldn't find it. Just stumbled upon it last night.

its just a gray box for me (and a gray box with a row of text with SHFT-~)

Yeah, but in that "gray box" you should be able to type python code and have it execute instantly.

I don't know my way around the civ4 api yet, but you can at least see what is available using this code:

from pprint import pprint
pprint(dir())

I'm sure some folks will figure out some cool stuff to do with the in-game interpreter.
