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.

Combat.targetChooser()

this function enables the selection of targets for the abilities that need it in my game.

Parameters and variables

def targetChooser(self, Ally= False, User= None):
    choices = []
    i = 0
    forum = []

I made 3 parameters to make this function more adaptable. Ally is a bool that when true will go into the if stamen that displays allies, when false it’ll go into displaying the monsters. User is for when an ability targets allies, you put in the name of the user if you don’t want them to be able to target themselves. Choices is where I will store the numbers that correspond to the enemies or allies that can be selected. Then forum is where the names of the targets will be stored in the index that corresponds with their number in choices. i will be used as a counter for setting up choices and then later a container to receive the player input.

The rundown

if Ally:
    for target in self.listing:
        if isinstance(self.listing[target], PlayableCharacter):
            if not self.listing[target].displayName == User:
                if self.listing[target].level > 0:
                    choices.append(i)
                    print(str(i) + ": " + self.quickdisplay(self.listing[target], newLineOverride= True))
                    forum.append(target)
                    i += 1
    i = inputAndCheck("Target: ", choices)
    return forum[i]
else:
    for target in self.listing:
        if isinstance(self.listing[target], Monster):
            choices.append(i)
            print(str(i) + ": " + target)
            forum.append(target)
            i += 1
    i = inputAndCheck("Target: ", choices)
    return forum[i]

I’ve already talked about how ally decides which path to go down and why, so I’ll quickly cover the actual process these paths undergo.

              Both do roughly the same thing, they iterate over the class variable listing and check to see if the object is of the type they are looking for. If it is, they add the current i to choices, display it,  increase I by one, and then add the name of the object to forum and move along. Note that the ally version also checks User against the object name and if it matches, it skips it. After forum and choices are setup and options displayed, inputAndCheck() is run to get player input and then is stored in I. Lastly, I take i and use it to call the corresponding name from forum and return it.

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...
