Item() rundown

 The item() class holds the information of the item and also runs the item effect when it gets used. Constructor def __init__ ( self , command , name , cost , usage): self .effect = command self .name = name self .cost = cost self .usage = usage The effect holds the string name of the effect for the item,  usage holds the value of the Effect . The rest are self-explanatory. EffectHandler() def effectHandler ( self , user: PlayableCharacter , equip= True ): #learned how to specify type of parameter. if equip: if self .effect == "Def" : user.defense = user.defense + self .usage elif self .effect == "AtkPhy" or self .effect == "AtkMag" : user.attack = user.attack + self .usage else : if self .effect == "hp" : user = self .healing(user) return user This handles the effects of the item when it is used. If equip is true then it will check for the equip...

Shifting the OG into Object Oriented

With my UML in hand, I'm almost ready to begin the process of actually building the program, but first I wanted to take the code I had and change it to incorporate our new object-oriented plan. To do this I eliminated all global variables that shouldn't be in the theMain.py and used the new class Character and its subclasses instead.
import csv
from Character import Character
from Monster import Monster
from PlayableCharacter import PlayableCharacter
import os

# Variables
currentAwnser = 0
x = 0
y = 0
z = 0
chapter = 0
Lori = PlayableCharacter("Lori")
Lauren = PlayableCharacter("Lauren")

# Functions
def inputAndCheck(question, validAwnsers): # validAwnsers must be a list
global currentAwnser
awnserString = input(question)
validaty = False
convertedAwnser = 0
awnserFlag = False
try:
int(awnserString)
validaty = True
except ValueError:
pass
if validaty == False:
inputAndCheck(question, validAwnsers)
else:
input("success: Type Correct")
convertedAwnser = int(awnserString)
for awnser in validAwnsers:
if convertedAwnser == awnser:
awnserFlag = True
else:
continue
if awnserFlag == False:
inputAndCheck(question, validAwnsers)
else:
input("Success: Valid Awnser")
currentAwnser = convertedAwnser
# Extracting Save Data
def bootSave(saveNum):
global x
global y
global z
input(saveNum)
input(type(saveNum))
if saveNum == 0:
input("we are in")
f = open("newGame.csv")
fReader = csv.reader(f)
content = next(fReader)
input(type(content))
input(content)
x = int(content[0])
y = int(content[1])
z = int(content[2])
chapter = int(content[3])
Lori.level = int(content[4])
Lauren.level = int(content[5])
input(Lori.level)
f.close()
else:
input("fail")

def generateCharacters():
garbage = 0
statLine = []
lvlCounter = 0
if Lori.level < 10:
file = open("lori.csv")
fileReader = csv.reader(file)
Lori.skills = list(next(fileReader))
garbage = next(fileReader)
stringCosts = next(fileReader)
for row in fileReader:
input("we made it")
if row == []:
pass
else:
statLine = row
input(statLine[0])
input(type(statLine[0]))
try:
lvlCounter = int(statLine[0])
if lvlCounter == Lori.level:
break
else:
pass
except ValueError:
pass
input(Lori.skills)
input(statLine)
file.close()
Lori.health = int(statLine[2])
Lori.attack = int(statLine[3])
Lori.defense = int(statLine[4])
for stuff in stringCosts:
garbage = int(stuff)
Lori.skillCosts.append(garbage)
input(Lori.skillCosts)
else:
input("almost")
if Lauren.level < 10 and Lauren.level > 0:
file = open("lauren.csv")
fileReader = csv.reader(file)
Lauren.skills = next(fileReader)
garbage = next(fileReader)
stringCosts = next(fileReader)
for row in fileReader:
input("we made it")
if row == []:
pass
else:
statLine = row
input(statLine[0])
input(type(statLine[0]))
try:
lvlCounter = int(statLine[0])
if lvlCounter == Lauren.level:
break
else:
pass
except ValueError:
pass
input(Lauren.skills)
input(statLine)
file.close()
Lauren.health = int(statLine[2])
Lauren.attack = int(statLine[3])
Lauren.defense = int(statLine[4])
for stuff in stringCosts:
garbage = int(stuff)
Lauren.skillCosts.append(garbage)
input(Lauren.skillCosts)
else:
input("almost")


# Main Line Commands
inputAndCheck("how would you like to boot? 0 New game or integer of save you are booting", [0])
bootSave(currentAwnser)

generateCharacters()
os.system("cls")
input("we made it!!!")
    As you can see I imported the classes I've created. To keep things organized I'm giving all classes and subclasses their own file. 
    The Character class has all the variables all characters have and the deathCheck() method which checks itself to see if it's dead or not and if it is it deletes itself. I'll definitely need to modify this in the future or make an override for playable characters who I definitely don't want to delete (I'm not going for permadeath in my game).
class Character(object):

def __init__(self, Attack = None, Defense = None, Health = 1, Exp = None, displayName = None):
self.displayName = displayName
self.attack = Attack
self.defense = Defense
self.health = Health
self.experience = Exp
def deathCheck(self):
if self.health <= 0:
del self
else:
pass
    Then, I made the subclasses Monster and PlayableCharacter with their corresponding special variables. Both classes will need improvements as I build the game.

Monster Class:

from Character import Character
#import Character

#class Monster(Character.Character):
class Monster(Character):
def __init__(self, attack = None, defense = None, health = 1, experince = None, displayName = None, buddyRate = None, buddyType = None):
super().__init__( Attack= attack, Defense = defense , Health= health, Exp = experince, displayName = displayName)
self.buddyRate = buddyRate
self.buddyType = buddyType

PlayableCharacter Class:

from Character import Character


class PlayableCharacter(Character):
def __init__(self, displayName, attack = None, defense = None, health = 1, experience = 0, lvl = 0, skills = None, skillCosts = None, energyName = None, energyValue = None):
super().__init__(Attack=attack, Defense=defense, Health=health, Exp=experience, displayName=displayName)
self.skillCosts = []
self.level = lvl
self.energyName = energyName
self.energyValue = energyValue
self.skills = skills
self.skillCosts = skillCosts

Shop() run down

 This class is responsible for running the shop and creating the Item() objects. Constructor: def __init__ ( self ): self .items = [] f = open ( "items.csv" ) fReader = csv.reader(f) for line in fReader: if line == []: continue self .items.append(Item(line[ 2 ] , line[ 0 ] , int (line[ 1 ]) , int (line[ 3 ]))) f.close() When the class is called the class list items are filled with Item() objects created by opening items.csv and taking the data in there to instantiate the items. Then we close the file. WhoIsShopping(): def whoIsShopping ( self , squad : list ): counter = 0 choices = [] print ( "Who is shopping?" ) for member in squad: if member.level > 0 : print ( str (counter) + ": " + member.displayName) choices.append(counter) counter += 1 selection = inputAndCheck( "Selection: " , choices) return squad[selection] T...

Explorer() progress

I decided to start with the explorer() method because of how central it is to the program. I quickly realized I'd need new functions for accessing specific pieces of data from the CVSs, so I made a few for detecting what region the part is in, another for fetching the region name and fetching the region z coordinate. Here is what explorer looks like now. def explorer (): global x global y global z global chapter global region global regionDisplay global Lori global Lauren global Julius global Marcus menu = GameMenu() characters = [Lori , Lauren , Julius , Marcus] menu.update(characters) selections = [ 4 , 5 ] #Code goes here print (regionDisplay + ":" ) print (regionDiscribe(region)) # need and area scanner for detecting nearby locations if regionCheck(x+ 1 , y , z) >= 0 and \ (fetchRegionZ(regionCheck(x+ 1 , y , z))-fetchRegionZ(region) <= 5 and fetchRegionZ(region)-fetchRegionZ(regionCheck...

Flow Charts are Born

Flow charts weren't that difficult to make. I honestly already had a decent idea of how my program would run, so this was really taking what was on my mind and putting it into a graphic. For those who don't know, I'm using a common key for software design for all of the flow charts: Source:  https://www.zenflowchart.com/flowchart-symbols First I have the simplest of my flow charts: theInstaller.py Flow chart. Then I made the Flow chart for theMain.py: Finally, I decided to include 2 flow charts for the important subprocess in the game: Explore() and runCombat(). For all of these, I used color codes to help subdivide the pieces of the code into their smaller loops or different paths. I'll be using these flow charts a lot to point out where exactly I'm at in the game as I go along with this blog.
