Ready for lift off! With top down desgin!

With my flow charts and my corrected UML in hand, I went on in to create all the functions with default returns and values to get myself set up. The reason I've done this is that I want to practice top design. I heard about it from my Java Programing professor and thought to implement it here just to see what it's like to break down problems into smaller steps beforehand and set up a framework so that it's easy to test things. So let's dive into it!

    First things first, I created a monster object called "thatMonster" to use for testing purposes. It will be removed later down the line. Then I followed up with an outline in the main line of what methods will be called.

# Main Line Commands
inputAndCheck("how would you like to boot? 0 New game or integer of save you are booting", [0])
bootSave(currentAwnser)
input(type(Lori.level))
generateCharacters()
os.system("cls")
input("we made it!!!")
if chapter == 0:
   input("Opening")
   chapter += 1
   Lauren.level += 1
generateCharacters()
while chapter < 24:
   # the main game
   explorer()
input("credits")
chapter += 1
while chapter < 27:
   # the post game
   explorer()
input("credits and close")
input("Extra Data:" + str(x) + " " + str(y) + " " + str(z))

Explorer() was also added to theMain.py. along with a few default values that tick up the chapter and location.

def explorer():
   global x
   global y
   global z
   global chapter
   #Code goes here

   #defualt iterations. temporary.
   x += 1
   y += 1
   chapter += 1

Character and its sub-classes were already made, so I went to work on the Shop class next. It has a constructor (subject to change) and the currently mostly empty buy(). I also made a CSV import which I might add to the constructor so it can open the items file and fill the items list.

class Shop(object):
    items = []
    def __init__(self):

        #Defualt for now
        self.items.append("Items go here")

    def buy(self, item):

        #Defualt for now
        self.items.remove("Items go here")

Then came the GameMenu Class, with 2 lists for hp, names, and max hp. As well as some very rudimentary stuff for displayPC() and displayGameMenu().

from PlayableCharacter import PlayableCharacter

class GameMenu(object):
    PClist = []
    # PChp List will use [current, total]
    PChpList = []

    def __init__(self):

        #Defualt for now
        self.PClist.append("Character Object")
        self.PChpList.append(["current", "total"])

    def displayPC(self, PlayableCharacter):

        #Defualt for now
        print(PlayableCharacter.displayName)


    def displayGameMenu(self):

        #defualt for now
        for pc in self.PClist:
            print(pc)

The big one, Combat class, was up to bat next. It's a little messy right now, so this will probably be the first one I work on.  I made 2 lists instead of the one I had planed before because the initiativeRoll() will need to reorganize the lists and I think it'll be easier with 2 lists. skillHandler does literally nothing as of now, so it needs lots of development to get it running. Turn() needs to be worked on heavily as well, but fortunately, baseAttack() doesn't need much more work.

from Character import Character
from PlayableCharacter import PlayableCharacter
from Monster import Monster
import random


class Combat(object):

    def __init__(self):
        self.order = []
        self.listing = []

    def skillHandler(self, skill):

        # defualt for now
        input("Skill!")

    def intiativeRoll(self, Combatant):

        # defualt for now
        self.listing.append([Combatant.displayName, random.random()])
        self.order.append([Combatant.displayName, Combatant])

    def combatEndCheck(self):

        # default for now
        if len(self.order) == 0:
            input("Combat is over!")

    def baseAttack(self, attacker, defender):
        targetingNum = random.random() * 100

        # defualt for now
        if targetingNum > 50:
            defender.currentHealth = defender.currentHealth - (attacker.attack -
                                                               defender.defense)

    def turn(self, Ally):

        # defualt for now
        self.baseAttack(Ally, self.order[0][1])

Finally, the Location Class was made. It's fairly small and self-explanatory. hopefully, it stays that way.

import csv

class Location(object):

    def __init__(self, Name= "Display", x= 0, y= 0, z= 0):
        self.displayName = Name
        self.x = x
        self.y = y
        self.z = z
        self.storyFlag

After all that work, theMain.py was run and here was our output:

I'm definitely removing all those loading inputs soon.
