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() 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]

This function does what it says, it prompts for and receives the selection of a playableCharacter() for shopping. It returns the specified playableCharacter().

ShopDisplay():

def shopDisplay(self, member :PlayableCharacter):
print("Stingy Man: welcome traveler, as long as you have gold your welcome! What are you looking for today?")
counter = 0
choices = []
for item in self.items:
print(str(counter) + ": " + item.name + "(" + str(item.cost) + " gold)")
choices.append(counter)
counter += 1
choices.append(counter)
print(str(counter) + ": Leave")
return inputAndCheck(member.displayName + "'s action: ", choices)

This function displays all the items available in the store, by iterating over items.

 

Buy():

def buy(self, item :Item, gold, user :PlayableCharacter):
if item.cost <= gold:
if item.effect == "AtkPhy":
if user.energyName != "Mana":
return item
else:
return user.displayName + " can't use that(press enter to continue)"
elif item.effect == "AtkMag":
if user.energyName == "Mana":
return item
else:
return user.displayName + " can't use that(press enter to continue)"
else:
return item
else:
return "insufficient gold"

This function simply checks if the player has sufficient gold, and ensures that a physical attack item isn’t bought for a magical character, and a magical attack item isn’t bought by a  physical attack character. (magical characters have “mana” as there stamina)

 

StoreRun():

def storeRun(self, squad :list, gold :int):
done = False
while not done:
shopper = self.whoIsShopping(squad)
os.system("cls")
print("gold: " + str(gold))
action = self.shopDisplay(shopper)
if action >= len(self.items):
pass
else:
result = self.buy(self.items[action], gold, shopper)
if isinstance(result, Item):
input("Stingy man: here you go! thankyou for your business!(press enter to continue)")
shopper.inventory.append(result)
if result.usage != "hp":
shopper = result.effectHandler(shopper)
gold = gold - result.cost
else:
input(result)
result = inputAndCheck("are you done shopping?(0: no, 1: yes)", [0, 1])
counter = 0
for ally in squad:
if ally.displayName == shopper.displayName:
squad[counter] = shopper
counter += 1

if result == 1:
done = True
return [squad, gold]

This is the function that implements all of the previously mentioned functions. I loops through all the function calls so that the player can shop as many times as they want, until they decide to leave. At the end of each purchase, the player is asked if they want to leave and if they respond yes (1) then done is set to true, thus ending the loop.

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.
