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...

Combat() display functions!

 Here I’ll go over all the display functions starting from smallest to largest.

attackDisplay()

def attackDispaly(self, attacker, target):
    #might remove if it slows down game to much. Might rewrite for more flavor.
    if isinstance(attacker, Monster):
        input(attacker.displayName + " used their " + attacker.weapon + " on " + target + "(Enter to continue)")

This takes a monster object and the target name as attacker and target respectively. Then it makes sure that the object is a monster using isInstance() then proceeds to display the attack information:

Turn: Wolf
Wolf used their Fangs on Lauren(Enter to continue) 

QuickDisplay()

def quickdisplay(self, ally, newLineOverride= False):
    if newLineOverride:
        return ally.displayName + "(hp: " + str(ally.currentHealth) + "/" + str(
            ally.health) + " " + ally.energyName + ": " + str(ally.currentEnergy) + "/" + str(ally.energyValue) + ")"
    return ally.displayName + "\nhp: " + str(ally.currentHealth) + "/" + str(ally.health) + " " + ally.energyName + ": " + str(ally.currentEnergy) + "/" + str(ally.energyValue)

This takes a playable character as Ally and the optional parameter newLineOverRide in case you don’t want to write it on a new line. When newLineOverRide is set to false it returns the basic information of the Ally via a string that contains a new line character at the front. When newLineOverRide is set to True then it returns the info in a string without a newline character at the front. In both cases, the information in the string contains the ally name, hp status, and energy status.

Lori(hp: 10/10 Stamina: 0/1)

InitiativeDisplay()

def intiativeDisplay(self, allyName):
    string = ""
    setup = []
    flag = False
    counter = 0
    for fighter in self.order:
        if fighter[0] == allyName:
            flag = True
            continue
        if isinstance(self.listing[fighter[0]], PlayableCharacter):
            if self.listing[fighter[0]].level <= 0:
                continue
            playableDisplay = self.quickdisplay(self.listing[fighter[0]],newLineOverride= True)
            if flag:
                setup.insert(counter, playableDisplay)
            else:
                setup.append(playableDisplay)
            continue

        if flag:
            setup.insert(counter, fighter[0])
            counter += 1
        else:
            setup.append(fighter[0])
    flag = False
    for peep in setup:
        if flag:
            string = string + ", " + peep
        else:
            string = string + " " + peep
            flag = True
    return string

This is the most complicated of all the display functions, but it only takes one parameter: allyName. I started by declaring string, setup, flag, and counter. Then I go into a loop iterating over the order.  In that loop, if the character’s name matches the allyName, I set the flag to true.

This flag is an indicator of whether I am before or after the current character’s turn. When it’s true the character will be added to the front (index 0) of the list. When false it’ll insert the character at the end of the list. This will make it so that the characters that are coming up next will be put in the front and later characters in the back no matter where the current character is located in the list.

Once the flag has been checked I see if the current character I am iterating over is a player character. If they are I add them to the list with extra information displayed via QuickDisplay(), otherwise, I add just their name. Now that setup has all the information I can move on to setting up our string.

In the last loop, I iterate over setup to concatenate the initiative display I will return. Before that, I set flag to false, so our first iteration of the list won’t add a comma to the front (the first iteration sets the flag to true so commas will appear). After the loop, I simply return the string.

UML Diagram and Object Oriented Programing.

Currently, the game uses only global variables and the methods in theMain.py to open and load data. It's become cumbersome to constantly call on the global variables for all my methods and I've realized that I'll be limited in the number of monsters I have if I only use global variables for everything. So this has led me to decide to shift to using Object-oriented programing to run my game. Thus I've prepared a UML diagram to show you all my classes, and subclasses, as well as their interactions, methods, and variables.      theMain.py will function as my main line where all classes and methods will be called as well as have some very important functions built into it. That's they it is connected to almost all the other classes. It'll take care of exploration, descriptions, story tracking, starting the game, ending the game, encounter rates, and gold.      GameMenu will be treated as a static class that has information displayed for the game menu as well as...

Combat() completion! Fights exist now!

Combat() has been completed and the game now is starting to feel like a game. It was a lot of work, but I will be honest I was distracted by holiday events and starting University and that's why it took so long to complete. There is so much to go over with Combat() that I'll be making separate posts for each piece of the Combat class with breakdowns on what they do and how. Here I'll post the results and an implementation overview. Comba() as of now: class Combat( object ): def __init__ ( self , continueStatus = True ): self .order = [] self .listing = {} self .continueStatus = continueStatus self .taunt = [] self .defRaise = [] self .atkRaise = [] self .protected = [] self .exp = 0 def combatantOrganizer ( self ): organizedOrder = [] theStringOrder = [] NumOrder = [] for listing in self .order: NumOrder.append(listing[ 1 ]) NumOrder.sort() for...
