#

Hey guys.

#

may I ask. Difficult to explain but I'll do my best.

#

What is the concept called when In a open world game like WoW for instance. Only what is in the radius of the character is visible but not the whole map.

#

to reduce resource consumption.

#

Consider this. Star being the character, yellow being what the character can see at the time. Then the Grey as the rest of the map, but inactive because there's no need to view it at the time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipping_(computer_graphics)

Clipping (computer graphics)

Clipping, in the context of computer graphics, is a method to selectively enable or disable rendering operations within a defined region of interest. Mathematically, clipping can be described using the terminology of constructive geometry. A rendering algorithm only draws pixels in the intersection between the clip region and the scene model....

There’s also level of detail tactics

#

Where you basically have higher and lower resolutions versions of textures/models and render lower quality things that are further away and switch to higher quality assets for closer things

Which library is used for game development sorry for bad English*

frozen knoll
#

Arcade, pygame, ursina, pyglet, etc.

covert lagoon
#

Any reason for me to switch from pygame to a better 2d lib?

spiral skiff
covert lagoon
#

Well i havent had issues with pygame, and it seems to meet my current needs for it. Ive just heard theres better ones out there and wondered if i should consider switching

spiral skiff
#

do you have any progress on your current project in pygame? if yes then dont switch, you can use the other lib when u start a new proj

frozen knoll
#

You might want to see if the speed or features make it worthwhile. If you spend a lot of time coding a feature that is built into another library, that's time wasted. Or spend time optimizing a slow program when another is fast up front.

heyy

#

I've just started learning pygame and I had one doubt regarding screen.blit()

#

this is from a tutorial I'm currently watching on how to code flappy bird in pygame (and they're making like the floor move towards left-
and it says that there are two floors next to each other moving left at the same speed)

#

I've understood what they wanna do

#

BUT MY QUESTION IS-
doesn't screen.blit() just redraw the floor? like how are there two floors simultaneously?

tranquil girder
#

no it doesn't, that's why you have to clear the screen manually
you code draws the same floor surface at two different positions

Hello, i am working on my first game ever with python using pygame => basic game to write what program typed and i have problem that text to write is not on same line as the entered text by user. How can i fixed that? I tried to find to set something like "line height" but without any success 😦

Or, if you are drawing to a surface and then drawing that surface to the main screen then it's drawing that surface on top of the old one. Effectively clearing the screen in an indirect way (that might also not clear the entire main screen depending on if the surface is the size of it or not) by drawing a big background, you can think of it as using a background image as a clearing tool. Either way, it's recommended to just always clear the screen.

is there a geometrydash coded in python, with the same physics as in the original game?

dawn quiver
#

Sadly i dont think sublime has that scheme ill have to search for a similar one

hasty arch
dawn quiver
#

Fullscreen it if you cant see it clearly

#

This could be extended to 3 dimensions against cubes. It may be a cheaper alternative to more general raycasting algorithms

#

It uses a form of vector projection and point slope form to calculate ranges(yellow lines). If the rectangle is within these ranges then the ray hit

cool collision check

#

HI, I am trying to code a chess game based on a youtube ||video|| which is 2 years old. Here is a python function whose task is to draw the bhess board.

def drawBoard(Screen):
    #this function draws the squares on the board
    """The top left quare on the chess board is always light colored."""
    colors = [pygame.Color(255,255,255),pygame.Color(127, 127, 127)]   #defining the coloured used to fill up the squares on the board
    for rows in range(dimension):
        for cols in range (dimension):
            #choose the colour based on the rule.
            """if row+col %2 == 0 square is light coloured otherwise dark coloured."""
            #color = colors[((rows+cols)%2)] this I think causes errors
            if ((rows+cols)%2==0):
                ind=0
            else:
                ind=1
            color = colors[ind]
            #drawing the square on the board after selecting it's colour
            pygame.draw.rect(Screen, color, pygame.rect(rows*sq_size,cols*sq_size,sq_size,sq_size))```
but the last line is not working maybe due to some syntax changes of pygame. The error is as follows :
```  File "/home/shiv/projects/Cheng/CHESS_ENGINE-Cheng-/chessMain.py", line 55, in drawGameSate
    drawBoard(Screen) #function to draw the board
  File "/home/shiv/projects/Cheng/CHESS_ENGINE-Cheng-/chessMain.py", line 76, in drawBoard
    pygame.draw.rect(Screen, color, pygame.rect(rows*sq_size,cols*sq_size,sq_size,sq_size))
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable```
can anyone help me in figuring out the solution.

#

do you know how can i collide animated object bcz my character is colliding to that object but not touching the img

sour cobalt
#

idk I just use circle collision, line/psuedo rect collision for my game

#

;_;

#

(my game has hundreds of projectiles and already nears being too slow for 60 fps so I can't use masks)

#

,_,

young pine
#

should i use masks i am making platformer game

sour cobalt
#

I guess

young pine
#

but there is no tutorial for using masks with animated objects

sour cobalt
#

isn't animation just swapping between images so couldn't you just do collision based on the current image chosen?

young pine
#

yes but its not working

#

oh nvm

#

waittt

ig i figured it out

Maybe try Godot

Or something similir

hello im doing a test and it worked but thats weird

#

to display seconds 0 to 1 min in the surface

#

it keep saying me not responding

unknown.png
#

but when i print in the console the seconds its working

#

@young pine If you can help me and btw sorry for the ping

young pine
#

time.sleep() pauses whole program so it wont respond you should use pygame ticks instead

# 
mainticks = pygame.time.get_ticks()
while i < 60:
  ...
  now = pygame.time.get_ticks()
  if now - mainticks == 500:
    second += 1
    mainticks = now
    i += 1
  ...``` ig this works @ember carbon

how do you load a png image to a sprite in pygame so that the transparent background doesn't turn black?
here's how I load the image:

class Piece(pg.sprite.Sprite):
    
    def __init__(self, pos):
        pg.sprite.Sprite.__init__(self, self.containers)
        data = starter_locations[pos]
        self.image = load_image(f"Pieces\{data}.png")
        ...

def load_image(file):
    """loads an image, prepares it for play"""
    try:
        surface = pg.image.load(file)
    except pg.error:
        raise SystemExit('Could not load image "%s" %s' % (file, pg.get_error()))
    return surface.convert_alpha()
#

but the background will still be black, even with convert_alpha()

#

this is the screen or?

#

screen = pg.display.set_mode(SCREENRECT.size, pg.SRCALPHA) didn't change anything

hasty arch
#

idk how you name variable for creating main surface = window, but if it is, then yes

glossy juniper
#

uh, that's kinda weird there but you can take a look at it if you want to

# 
def main():
    pg.init()

    screen = pg.display.set_mode(SCREENRECT.size, pg.SRCALPHA)
    pg.display.set_icon(load_image("Pieces\\bq.png"))
    pg.display.set_caption("Chess")

    board = load_image("Board.png")
    background = pg.Surface(SCREENRECT.size)
    for x in range(0, SCREENRECT.width, board.get_width()):
        background.blit(board, (x, 0))
    screen.blit(background, (0, 0))
    pg.display.flip()

    pieces = pg.sprite.Group()
    all = pg.sprite.RenderUpdates()

    clock = pg.time.Clock()

    Piece.containers = pieces, all
    for pos in starter_locations:
        Piece(pos)

    while True:
        for event in pg.event.get():
            if event.type == pg.QUIT:
                pg.quit()
                sys.exit()

        all.clear(screen, background)
        all.update()

        screen.fill((0, 0, 0))
        dirty = all.draw(screen)
        pg.display.update(dirty)
        clock.tick(40)
# 
    for x in range(0, SCREENRECT.width, board.get_width()):
        background.blit(board, (x, 0))
```just realised I don't need this part
hasty arch
#

i dont see any problem with this, it should be transparent

#

Anyways cool idea to make chess

glossy juniper
#

would be cooler if it worked

#

👀

#

might it be a problem with the png files?

hasty arch
#

if they really have alpha channel, then not, check if they dont contain black background

glossy juniper
#

don't think so, seems fine

wb.png
hasty arch
#

tried to put image over my game and it works

unknown.png
#

even without the SRCALPHA tag

glossy juniper
#

try putting that that I just sent above

#

or I could try set_colorkey

hasty arch
#

idk mby, i have no problem with alpha channel so idk

glossy juniper
#

set_colorkey neither

glossy juniper
#

@hasty arch got it after commenting out screen.fill((0, 0, 0)) in my main

Hey @hasty ruin!

It looks like you tried to attach file type(s) that we do not allow (.exe). We currently allow the following file types: .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .mov, .mp4, .mpg, .png, .mp3, .wav, .ogg, .webm, .webp, .flac, .m4a, .csv, .json.

Feel free to ask in #community-meta if you think this is a mistake.

@empty wraith There's a circle and a solid color sprite available.

For advanced draw-on-a-sprite work, you can use code like this minimap example:

why is there an error in pygame file?

because most likely Player is not a subclass of Sprite

how do i make an object move continuously while i keep pressing the button instead of pressing it again and again?

tranquil girder

When you press the button, set a bool to True and back to False when you release it
Then every frame, move of that bool is True

echo wadi
#

if i wanted to animate ( sprite ? ) a needle gauge or a custome gauge , is there a limit to how many animation frames i can use ?

frozen knoll

If I was doing a guage like that, I'd probably have two sprites, one for the needle, one for everything else.

#

Also, kind of depends on the library you are using.

arcade. is there a way to disable logging, like for exampe suppress the Attempting to add texture log message, which is of a fairly high INFO level

potent ice
empty wraith
# 
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO, format='%(asctime)s - %(message)s')
logger = logging.getLogger()

i have this specifically, and i import logger wherever i need

#

when i said disable logging i meant only disable logging for arcade, was hoping there's an option to do that

potent ice
#

It's a python logging thing, not an arcade thing

#

logging.basicConfig changes the global/default log level of everything

empty wraith
#

oh, but logger can have its own level right?

potent ice
#

yes. Just like the above code

empty wraith
#

i somehow got confused and thought logger/arcade_logger in this case would change the global level

#

oh man, what a silly mistake

potent ice
#

Also a good idea to name your loggers logger = logging.getLogger() will just return the default one

empty wraith
#

thanks

potent ice
#

logging.getLogger(__name__) is great

empty wraith
#

what would be the purpose for naming? putting the name of the logger into the output?

#

(with corresponding format)

potent ice
#

The logger name hierarchy is analogous to the Python package hierarchy, and identical to it if you organise your loggers on a per-module basis using the recommended construction logging.getLogger(__name__). That’s because in a module, __name__ is the module’s name in the Python package namespace.

empty wraith
#

i mean, what would be the practical use for it. i've been using just one logger object and importing it in things, i guess with extensive logging and a lot of different modules i could use multiple logger objects and name them so i could instantly tell where potential warning etc come from

potent ice
#

We have lots of loggers in arcade. Typically per module. loggers could be arcade, arcade.sprite, arcade.spritelist, arcade.texture_atlas etc.

#

This will set the level for all of them ```py
arcade_logger = logging.getLogger("arcade")
arcade_logger.setLevel(logging.WARN)

#

That's the advantage of just using __name__ (name of the module)

empty wraith
#

thanks for your help. i have been using logging for quite some time, just apparently not to its full potential (also made this dumb oversight today) 🙂

potent ice
#

Loggers can be a mess sometimes. Not blaming you 😄

empty wraith
#

after messing around with it a bit more, i now understand the source of my confusion better, basically if you leave the name empty it will indeed set the global logging level when you setLevel to it (because you get the root logger). i just forgot how crucial this detail is after several months of not doing python 🥴

#

also since i'm here, is there an easy way to check for "collision" of the mouse cursor and Sprites, in other words, an easy way to detect when i'm hovering over a specific sprite
from what i've seen so far there's no easy way, and i'd need to loop over all sprites and see if mouse cursor position belongs to an area/hitbox of each individual sprite. Do it in on_mouse_motion, most likely.

potent ice
#

For example : get_sprites_at_exact_point

#

If you have spatial hashing enabled in the spritelist it will be an O(1) operation. Otherwise it will loop all the sprites (O(N))

empty wraith
#

i assume for static sprites i want that spatial hashing enabled

#

well, not assume, i've read that it's not as good for dynamic ones

#

..or maybe it's only applicable to sprite-sprite collisions

potent ice
#

You could have 1M sprites and still have fast collision detection with spatial hashing

empty wraith
#

would spatial hashing improve performance if all sprites are dynamic?

potent ice
#

It depends. It's a tradeoff. Every time you rotate or move a sprite it needs to update the spatial hash

#

You will have much slower movement, but fast collision detection

#

(against the list of moving sprites)

#

If it's like 50 sprites it might not be worth it

potent ice
#

There are plans to cythonize spatial hash and a few other things for 2.7

Trying to implement jumping. Right now, i have it working so the player rises during the ascension time and falls during the dissent. However, it looks very linear. Is there a way i could make it so as the player approaches the peak, they go slower, and do the inverse on the fall down?

dawn quiver
#

that way it consistently reduces

#

idk what ur code looks like, im assuming u have a y axis velocity or something

#

if something doesnt work well, try replicating it using an asynchronous visual coding language

#

i.e. scratch, its super fast and easy to fix small bugs with ur physics engines and stuff

i assume rising is a binary variable where it detects if ur going up? or not?

normal silo
#

Notice the bottom is lumpy clouds of smoke, and the top emits a lot of light (so shading is different than a normal object). Also it has a bunch of darker spots / texture.

#

(nor is the top a perfect mushroom shape, try breaking the contour a bit)

potent ice
#

If it's a still image you can add some shock waves or something

#

Honestly, I tough it was just an overgrown mushroom

normal silo
#

*The explosion should also be shading the rest of the objects in the scene as a back light.

#

Due to the dust there may be some nice visible rays of light / volumetric lighting.

#

You can see how in the reference image it glows around the mushroom as well.

#

Near the top and bottom it's so bright that it's basically pure white.

#

Then it becomes more lumpy and darker:

well what id do is constantly add to your y velocity component. This simulates gravity. Then give an initial push by adding a vector in the direction you want to shoot.

It should give an arc

I don't think copy pasting it is what they want. Players would have to 1. Be on this server, 2. install python, 3. install pygame and any other modules it uses, 4. launch the game through a terminal interface.
There are packaging tools you can use, such as pyinstaller, but there are lots of other ones too. When I released a game on itch.io, I just uploaded python.exe, the modules I used and game code + assets, so that's possible too.
Maybe follow this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTxaran0Cig, since he's actually released commercial games

No, that's literally impossible. If you mean make it run in the browser, that's still downloading. I don't think pygame has an export to web option either

Hey all, I'm using Lua, but any answers in other languages would be appricaited, as I understand that this is more of a programming concept than anything else probably.

How would you call a function ULT_Ped.setWeapon like this:

controllerWeapon.all(pedestriansMenu_weapon, ULT_Ped.setWeapon)

pedestriansMenu_weapon - is a variable something unrelated

And but pass in the value from inside the controllerWeapon.all method?

-- controller
function controllerWeapon.all(parent, func)
     
    for index = 1, #data do
        local ult_category = data[index]

        local ult_categoryName = ult_category.name
        local ult_weapons = ult_category.children

        local ult_categoryParent = menu.add_feature(ult_categoryName, "parent", parent, nil).id

        for j = 1, #ult_weapons do
            ult_weapon = ult_weapons[j]
            menu.add_feature(ult_weapon.name, "action", ult_categoryParent, function(feat)   
                -- ULT_Ped.setWeapon(ult_weapon.hash)
                func(ult_weapon.hash) -- Thissssssssss
            end)
        end

    end
    
end

Feels like needs a callback? or a global state umm

#

The function is what's dynamic. Although there are only a few options that it can have so maybe having a switch could be better such as (parent, option) if option is 1, give weapon to npc, if option is 2, give weapon to player, is option sis 3 ec... and maybe have like up to 5 options 🤷‍♂️

#

But can't guarantee this would be the same with other stuff since this is just weapon controller

#

well nothing but at least they will not blame if they get spoiled of the story

#

i want to encrypt the code whit out lose funtionality in the whole program

potent ice
#

It can work if you have a server and a client and the server sends keys on demand to decrypt some text

#

It's not unusual for games to do this. For example encrypting items data on the client

icy valve
#

if this could be virtually imposible to unencrypt by no dev pepole could be the best tbecause i want the characters dont be trated as tings i want they fell real but if they can see all the dialogs then the magic is gone

icy valve
#

lets called a semi open source game writed in python

#

the players can make all the changes they want in the code but they cant see the scource code of the characters ill made

#

i tried making the code inside of a image whit steghide

#

but it has to be so hard to work propelly than the code to make that works was 20 times biger than the character code

potent ice
#

The weakness is that only one person needs to figure this out and then it's all open

#

You could do weird stuff like getting a sha256 of some file and use that as key to encrypt things?

#

To be honest I don't thing that would be any safer than just base64 encoding the text

#

Unless you are doing some heavy code obfuscation when building the game

#

For example with Nutika

sinful lodge
potent ice
#

Nothing wrong with just scrambling data, but I wouldn't put that much energy into it. 99.9% of the users won't know how to unscramble it.

icy valve
#

@potent ice @sinful lodge And I down want anybody get the information for another's

#

It's like the case of FNAF or pops playtime if I want to keep the story in secret it's for keep the players aware of his actions not only for the spoilers

#

If someone doesn't care about the spoilers but he want to solve the mystery it brokers the experience for the rest of players I want the game be played as it has to be

#

And also as I don't know how to make an executable game all I can made it's a .py format

sinful lodge
#

anything that you can unscramble client-side should be able to be unscrambled by the clien t as well

icy valve
#

it could be but i cant aford a web server or making my wabe only bia accesible whit web serving

#

and what hapends if the player loses his internet conection?

sinful lodge
#

which is why i'm saying this is a strange problem, anything you wanna keep 100% secret shouldn't be stored client-side

#

but you could always encrypt the data

icy valve
#

the alternatibe is maybe i can encrypt all the source code to make all inaccesible

#

because all the game are like 1000 lines of code in only one python script

sinful lodge
icy valve
#

and is full based in text whit no libraries

#

you cant just compile the python code and then run it like an normal .exe?

#

or like an binary file of c++?

sinful lodge
#

if you absolutely must keep the stuff secret from the user, afaik you can only store it on a web server/some backend

#

you can always host that web server/backend on replit

icy valve
#

damit so there is also not 100% unecryption proof?

sinful lodge
#

if something can be encrypted it's going to be possible to decrypt it, HASHING is different though, but it wouldn't work for what you're asking

icy valve
#

well i tink maybe i have to forgot the mystery in my game and focus in the adictive gameplay instead

#

you wanna try the game?

    guild_gen_rank[player.guild] = {player.id: player.generated}
else:
    temp_ggr = guild_gen_rank[player.guild].items()
    for count, tup in enumerate(temp_ggr):
        _, generated = tup
        if player.generated > generated:
            temp_ggr.insert(count, (player.id, player.generated))
            guild_gen_rank[player.guild] = dict(temp_ggr[:5])
            break```

# random roost anyone know if kivy works on 3ds?

It can definitely do 3D. It's using opengl es. However, I don't know if there's any higher level support for it, but you can definitely crank out some shaders doing that. If I know the Kivy community right there's at least something.

Ok, so can I use Kivy to create a game for the Nintendo 3DS?

#

idk how to be more specific

potent ice
#

According to kivy.org

Kivy runs on Linux, Windows, OS X, Android, iOS, and Raspberry Pi. You can run the same code on all supported platforms.

random roost
#

mhm.. but it also says this:
With Kivy, you can create apps that run on:

Any other touch-enabled professional/homebrew devices supporting TUIO (Tangible User Interface Objects).

#

is there not a 3rd party lib or something to make kivy work on 3ds?

potent ice
#

I would imagine the Nintendo 3DS platform is very different unless it's based on some android version. I have no idea. Can always jump into Kivy discord.

Using Panda3D directly can get you all the way down to low level. Unless you want to use OpenGL / DirectX / etc directly (kind of no point (unless you really know what you are doing / or for education), you will end up just making a copy of Panda3D at that point).

#

It's a full 3D/2D game engine. It can do whatever.

#

It's also mature.

potent ice
#

Definitely look at Panda3D. That's a nice next step after urina anyway since ursina is using panda3d

#

You can pick apart ursina to expore how it's working

normal silo
#

Panda3D has far above average documentation for an open source project too.

potent ice
#

It's better than spending 5 years making your own game engine/renderer that would probably be worse than panda3d

#

Going down to GL / Vulkan can work if you have very simple needs.

normal silo
#

It's not even that it's better or worse, it's just that consider now wanting to work with others. What do you do? They have to learn a whole new thing if using your custom engine.

#

Same reason everyone uses Unity or Unreal now. You can be on the same page.

#

*Also Panda3D being tested on projects already, while your custom engine is an unknown as to whether or not it will work out in practice.

#

**Still there are times when a custom engine is not a bad idea. But that's a bit hard to explain (when and when not). So for beginners it does not really make sense unless you want to learn how game engines work in depth / maybe you want to contribute to something like Panda3D or work on Unity, etc.

Hey guys i need some help. Im creating a text based game. i've given the player 4 options on "Classes" and im looking how to recall which option the player has chosen to move forward with the story. I know this is abit vague so here is the code im talking about

        slowprint(f"So you have chosen the Berskerer is that right?: \n", 0.5)
        bb = input(f"Yes/No: ")
    elif choose_class == '2':
        slowprint(f"So you have chosen the Sniper is that right?: \n", 0.5)
        sn = input(f"Yes/No: ")
    elif choose_class == '3':
        slowprint(f"So you have chosen the Scientist is that right?: \n", 0.5)
        s = input(f"Yes/No: ")
    elif choose_class == '4':
        slowprint(f"So you have chosen the Animal handeler is that right?: \n")
        ah = input(f"Yes/No: ") ```

like how do i get the players choice from the variable so i can recall their choice later. sorry if this is the wrong channel
icy valve
#

@ocean lichen i tink its the correct chanell

#

well like i can see in your code it still very raw

#

you have to do 1 of 2 tings

ocean lichen
#

Yeah it is xD i've only been coding for a couple of week and this is my first solo attempt

icy valve
#

1 make a universal and imutable tree of elections and events(which is very extensive and long and very low reliable)

raw shadow
#

lol what?

icy valve
#

or 2 make modificators whic will keep the story going and mark the important choices for the future

raw shadow
icy valve
#

better dont use elif or if you have to make it more clean

#

and complex

raw shadow
#

complex?

#

dont need it to be complex

#

what's wrong with it

ocean lichen
#

So if i change my elif to if how would i recall the players choice? after the fact

icy valve
#

for example i made a lets call it "bitcoin simulator" and its only 1000 lines of code

raw shadow
#

is that your full code?

icy valve
#

that its not very complex but not very simple too

#

yea less than 1000 is the full game in 1 archive

raw shadow
#

complex code != better code

dawn quiver
raw shadow
#

complex code == harder to read code

icy valve
#

of course be complex its not the solution its make the code escalable

#

scalable is the word i was wanting to use

#

my game its like a tetris all based in text but i later will ad some story and more mecanics

ocean lichen
raw shadow
#

its extrememly elementary, i dont think they need to impliment a design pattern xD

#

i get your point and you're not incorrect

#

also wdym how to recall the play's input

ocean lichen
#

ive done the best i can xD but yeah i've got a lot of stuff to learn

raw shadow
#

if you got the players input then its there, it doesnt expire

icy valve
#

whit variable = input("give me you election player")

ocean lichen
#

so their is choice 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 for the classes how would i be able to recall what the player has chosen to refer to it later, rather then making my if statements huge

raw shadow
#

what do you mean

#

you literally asked for input from the player

#

why cant you use that

#

just use the variable again

#

choose_class = input(f"Choose: ")

icy valve
#

using elif nest the next elif inside the last if one

raw shadow
#

you asked for the input

ocean lichen
#

i think im maybe confusing myself and you guys

raw shadow
#

yeah you used elif, meaning you terminate the posibility of other ifs,

raw shadow
#

because you've defined the player's input as a variable and have worked with it thoroughly within the main loop

#

class start(): should be def start():

ocean lichen
#

their isnt an error, the code runs ok, so what you saying is the choose_class var will register the players choose and i'd only need to refer to choose_class as i continue?

raw shadow
#

yes

ocean lichen
#

i get you

#

their is a second question if you have time, it will help me tidy up my code abit.

raw shadow
#

chose_class variable is put into memory, it stays defined as long as the game is running

#

your "classes" should use a dictionary

#

are all the attributes the same but just different values?

#

you've just defined them with different names because of nameerror right?

#

you can use a "python class" for the play classes

#

a class is something difficult to understand but if you know what a class is, you should make a class called "Atributes" and then inherit from it into the berserker class

#

and etc

#

but only if you understand what it will do

icy valve
raw shadow
#

otherwise a dictionary will do fine to store the attributes

ocean lichen
#

Ill look into that, the next question that i have is. if you look at my paste in you can see i've reused the same set of "player options (refer to the end of my code) how could i recall the options of 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 after the player has select option '5' so after seeing the stats of the classes they can then choose one.

raw shadow
#

okay

#

for the 5th time

#

choose_class is defined as a variable, you can refer to it anytime ,anywhere after its been defined

#

if you want to "redefined" choose_class

#

you can redefine it

#

by simly

choose_class = input()
#

oh

#

wait i think i understand what you mean

ocean lichen
#

so how could i recall that choose_class var to rerun the options. after they have selected option 5 and seen the stats? print(choose_class())?

raw shadow
#

a player can say "1, 2 3 or 4" multiple times?

#

and depending on what they press, something is effected?

#

no its not xD its just a choice

ocean lichen
#

ill try and be as detailed as i can here. one second

raw shadow
#

wait, if this is an rpg game, i think you're going at it, the right way but there's things you can improve

ocean lichen
#

The player has come to choosing a class and is presented with 5 options. The player has chosen option 5 to see the stats of each class. how after seeing the stats can i then rerun the options for the player to then choose which class they want. without repasting the whole code again. can i rerun the code

raw shadow
#

using if statements that many times isnt good

ocean lichen
#

should i maybe use a class function and define the player options to return to it?

raw shadow
#

you should have a main game loop in which there's not much visible code and most of the functionliaty is handled by functions that are called upon user input

ocean lichen
#

if that makes sense. i know my code talk is abit gibberish

raw shadow
#

yeah, making a player object is good

#

yk what a object is right?

ocean lichen
#

Yeah

raw shadow
# 
class Student:
  def __init__(self, name, age):
      self.name = name
      self.age = age
  def show_details(self):
      print(self.name, self.age)
rick = Student("rick", 16)
rick.show_details()

>>> "rick, 16"
#

you can do the same for a player

ocean lichen
#

I think i can see where i've gone wrong, i've made this so much complicated then it needs to be. which is probably why im confusing myself

raw shadow
#

all that code can be avoided by one class xD

#

you can make a player have attributes

#

those attributes effect other objects

# 
class player_class:
  speed = 0
  attack = 0
  health_points = 0
  rs = 0
  ms = 0
  charisma = 0
  ah = 0

class Breserker(player_class):
  def __init__(self, name):
    self.name = name
    
  def set_attributes(self):
    speed = 8
    attack = 3
    health_points = 8
    rs = 1
    ms = 8
    charisma = 8
    ah = 2

getting_gold = Breserker("GettingGold")

print(getting_gold.speed)
#

that can seem like complex code but its making objects on inital values, therefore you can have scoped definition of attributes

#

and in order to make more and more kinds of classes of players you can "inherit" that player_class and adjust the attributes

ocean lichen
# 
  def __init__(self, , name, str, agi, hp):
      self.name = name
      self.str = str
      self.age = agi
      self.hp = hp
  def show_details(self):
      print(self.name, self.str self.agi, self.hp)
warrior = Student("Warrior", "str: 8", "agi: 4", "hp: 9")
warrior.show_details()

>>> "Warrior, str: 8, agi: 4, hp: 9" ``` 

something like this? i would create a class for each "Class" and then def the attributed underneath to recall later?
raw shadow
ocean lichen
#

yeah im with you. ill rename it specs or something 😄 and thanks for the help thats alot clearer now

raw shadow
#

mine is more complex, yours is better for you, mine is used for a bigger game design but yours is good because you can understand what you write

ocean lichen
#

no i understand what yours does and how to use it, i can read and maniplute codes pretty well. but writing them from memory is abit of an issue at the min lol

raw shadow
#

that's why mine has a player_class which defines attributes and allows for inital values for a class so that if theres a new player, if you get to the stage where you have multiple save files, you can easily start a new game with a player class

#

glad you know oop

#

im gonna stay online, try to impliment the oop

#

also get a github, makes it easy for others to easily work on your code with you

use the board values be arguments so that everytime the board is created, the values are different and dependant on the values being passed as args

like this

  print(f"------")
  print(f"{4}|{5}|{6}")
  print(f"------")

then when you call it, the values will be dependant on your value states

like if the player selected 1, 2, or 5

I'm guessing python is more used on the tools and asset pipeline side. This is very common with productions dealing with lots of assets. Games, animation, film etc etc
