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...

Shop() is complete!!!!!!

 Now that the big classes are over, we can create the items, and shop for the game. I had all the item’s stats I made beforehand, and I also made the shop() class UML beforehand, but when I began making the shop() class, I realized it was going to big hassle to keep all the items in an array and creating functions that use them because those functions would need to be available not just in shop(), but in PlayableCharacter() as well. Thus I made the Item() class handle all of its functions and made data access easier. I’ll make two posts: shop() breakdown, and Item() breakdown.

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.
