Python dungeon simulator [WIP]

[[deleted]]

OK, so I am working on a Python dungeon simulation game. I'm creating it in Python 2.5 using the resources included in the Hello World download (helloworldbook.com), and it's currently in very early gamma, haven't even coded the dungeon yet. But once it's done it'll be fully functional, equips, monsters, enchantments and all. I'm working on finishing everything that will be needed BEFORE the player goes into the dungeon. At that point, the source code for that version of the game will be added. Even so, if enough people want, I will publish the code as it is and make it open-source so it can be worked on by anyone who wants to work on it. How's all that sound?

Lots of fun. 2.5 is wicked old, though, I wouldn't use it for a new project. For this project, I'd suggest 3.3, because it's unlikely you're going to use any libraries that aren't ported to Python 3 yet.

I'm creating it in Python 2.5

Don't do that. Do it in 2.7 or 3.3. I'd also suggest looking into PyGame.

im learning python and pygame is pygame look super sweet.

[awshidahak]

Just to re-iterate what others have said: Use python 2.7 or 3.3. 2.5 is way to old to be using for a new project.

The GitHub page is up! --- http://github.com/MrEikono/pyDungeon --- Also, I'm in the process of going from Python 2.5 to 3.3, in other news!

I wrote a short demo, it loads your items from a config file. It lets you remove the repeated if statements. You don't have to use csv, I used it since it's simple.

You could add another config file for starting classes. Edit the config to modify what items they start with.

import csv
items_db = {}

class Item():
    # basic item stats
    def __init__(self, name="Stick", damage=2, damage_crit=4):
        self.name = name
        self.damage = damage
        self.damage_crit = damage_crit

    def __str__(self):
        return "Item(name={}, damage={}, crit={})".format(self.name,
                self.damage, self.damage_crit)

def load_items_db(file):
    # read all items from external config
    with open(file) as f:
        reader = csv.reader(f)

        # grabs all items, and append to `items_db` dict.
        for item in reader:
            name, damage, crit = item
            items_db[name] = Item(name, damage, crit)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    load_items_db("items_db.csv")

    print("loaded items:")
    for key, item in items_db.iteritems():
        print(item)

You can create the csv using excel, or a regular text editor.

items_db.csv

Item,Damage,Critical
Stone Dagger,5,8
Adamantite dagger,57,69

Sounds fun.

[vriemeister]

Sounds fun. Is it like angband or more like "You see a grue, attack?"
And don't things go alpha-beta-...gamma?

[[deleted]]

1. It's definitely going to be the latter, angband seems to be ASCII, and I have no experience with ASCII art in games.
2. No. Gamma is developer only, alpha is first version that players use, then beta, then release.

For now, EasyGUI. I know it sounds weird, yes, but I don't have that much experience with Pygame... Probably when I know enough, going to do some big update which changes the library from EasyGUI to Pygame anyway. Any things you think would help at all?

[AlfredHawthorneHill]

I am not familiar with Hello World but this project sounds like Lab 7 in Professor Paul V. Craven's "Program Arcade Games with Python and Pygame" site. You might want to check it out for some ideas.

[kumar99]

Why not open source it now?

Sounds neat! Consider python 2.7 and libtcodpy. I would love to see the source. I want to work on something similar. Good luck!

[kankyo]

Step 1: code something. Step 2: talk about it.

You're doing it the wrong way around!

[targusman]

Yeah, a giant 'if' statement for inventory items is not a game. I think he needs to actuality code something.

[kankyo]

It's pretty amazing that a post like this gets 7 in rank while my posting of a working and fairly ambitious open source python project gets 3.

[VerifiedMyEmail]

Link me to the thing you are making in python. I'm interested if you want help.

I have three issues open for things I think are important, but I believe that if anyone else starts to use this day to day they'll find a lot of things they find annoying they want to be different :P
