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...

The Original Code

 As I said in the introduction, I'd already worked on this project a bit before I started this blog. Today I imported my code and files into PyCharm.

As of now, all this code does is prompt the user for the save file to load and then it boots the game. the only save file available at the moment is the newGame.csv which will be the default file for booting the game. To do this I had to make a selection handler to ensure that incorrect inputs won't crash the game.
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

 This will be used many times for all inputs from the players. Then I called this function to ask for the save number and then used the stored value (currentAwnser) in the boot function to read the newGame.csv file and store those values.

def bootSave(saveNum):
   global x
   global y
   global z
   global loriLvl
   global laurenLvl
   global chapter
   if saveNum == 0:
      f = open("newGame.csv")
      fReader = csv.reader(f)
      content = next(fReader)
      x = int(content[0])
      y = int(content[1])
      z = int(content[2])
      chapter = int(content[3])
      loriLvl = int(content[4])
      laurenLvl = int(content[5])
      f.close()
   else:
      input("fail")

 Lastly, the game fills the character variable by reading the two character files I have so far. The main character Lori and the person who summoned her: the cleric Lauren.

def generateCharacters():
   global loriLvl
   global loriAtk
   global loriDef
   global loriActions
   global loriCommands
   global loriCosts
   global loriHp
   global laurenLvl
   global laurenHp
   global laurenAtk
   global laurenDef
   global laurenActions
   global laurenCommands
   global laurenCosts
   stringCosts = []
   garbage = 0
   statLine = []
   lvlCounter = 0
   if loriLvl < 10:
      file = open("lori.csv")
      fileReader = csv.reader(file)
      loriActions = next(fileReader)
      garbage = next(fileReader)
      loriCommands = 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 == loriLvl:
                  break
               else:
                  pass
            except ValueError:
               pass
      input(loriActions)
      input(statLine)
      input(loriCommands)
      file.close()
      loriHp = int(statLine[2])
      loriAtk = int(statLine[3])
      loriDef = int(statLine[4])
      for stuff in stringCosts:
         garbage = int(stuff)
         loriCosts.append(garbage)
      input(loriCosts)
   else:
      input("almost")
   if laurenLvl < 10 and laurenLvl > 0:
      file = open("lauren.csv")
      fileReader = csv.reader(file)
      laurenActions = next(fileReader)
      garbage = next(fileReader)
      laurenCommands = 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 == laurenLvl:
                  break
               else:
                  pass
            except ValueError:
               pass
      input(laurenActions)
      input(statLine)
      input(laurenCommands)
      file.close()
      laurenHp = int(statLine[2])
      laurenAtk = int(statLine[3])
      laurenDef = int(statLine[4])
      for stuff in stringCosts:
         garbage = int(stuff)
         laurenCosts.append(garbage)
      input(laurenCosts)
   else:
      input("almost")

 Here are the main line commands to do all this:

inputAndCheck("how would you like to boot? 0 New game or integer of save you are booting", [0])
bootSave(currentAwnser)
input(type(loriLvl))
generateCharacters()
os.system("cls")
input("we made it!!!")

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.
