Te Tuhi is a software that transforms static images into interactive video games.
Te Tuhi is a free software that has a unique capability of turning still pictures into video games. It is licensed under the GPL (version 2 or greater) and primarily written in Python and C. The program was initially developed for an exhibition at Te Tuhi Centre for the Arts located in Manukau City, New Zealand. The software inherited its name from the exhibition, although its appropriateness is questionable. In Māori, "te tuhi" means "the inscription," which refers more to writing than drawing.
Before installation, you need to have Python, GCC, Pygame, the Python Imaging Library, PyYAML, and the Gnu Scientific Library. However, these may not be available on all operating systems. You may download a tarball from Sourceforge or preferably get the latest GIT repository. However, if these installation steps sound hard or inexplicable, the software may not be ready for you.
If you proceed, the next step is to compile the C modules in the directories c, img-c, and perceptron. make && make python-install should suffice in each case. After compiling, try "./tetuhi path/to/some/image.jpg." If everything is working, a window should pop up with a game.
But it's highly unlikely that everything will work, so you should subscribe to the mailing list and ask for help there. In fact, it's recommended that you do so before starting with the installation.
The latest release has included some notable changes, including the program's compatibility with x86-64 systems, support for networks without hidden layers, improvements in presentation, and the number of subprocesses defaults to the number of available CPUs. Plus, there are numerous fixes and tidy-ups.
Overall, Te Tuhi is a fascinating tool that deserves some patience during installation. It's highly recommended for those who want to explore the link between art and gaming.
