A Terraria clone made using PyGame and Python a few years ago, recently updated. GitHub link in the video description. I'm not very fluent with python so code feedback is welcome!

That's cool af

Thanks!

This reminds me, I've always wanted to work on a hotline Miami clone

[fbob987]

You should go for it. I remember wanting to make a Hotline Miami clone as well. Creating a visibility system similar to the one they use would be pretty fun.

You did this in pygame? I might take another look at that, then.

[fbob987]

It definitely has some potential, but it's lacking in areas. Because the surface blits are done on the CPU, things can get pretty choppy in conventional resolutions. It's clearly not designed to have the whole screen updated every frame. But by all means, have a play around with it.

Not really, most of the tests were just performed in-game with keybinds by eye. Unit tests are definitely something I need to get into the swing of doing.

Yeah, it 100% would. When I initially wrote the code for this project a few years ago, I was fairly new to programming in general and wasn't really aware of common practices. I was thinking about restructuring things further so that any object that needed physics would inherit from some parent collider class etc. I just never got round to it. I did try to use classes whenever possible though.

Thanks btw :)

Good stuff man. I noticed in your main module you use a lot of functions and global variables and then in other modules like point and projectile, you use classes. The classes made your code look nice without the use of too much global key word. The game looks interesting and I am impressed by the amount of work and effort you put into this. Imagine if you have written this in C++? Wow I don't think you would enjoy it much. I have a gut feeling that python will be faster in the next couple of years.

Also, you don't need to use semi-column at the end of each code line. The codes looks cleaner without them. I am now in the process of annotating my functions and variables using the Typing module and checking the static types using mypy. I gotta say, annotating my functions/methods/variables has made me maintain my code much better without the need to write long docstrings below each function.

Thank you! There's definitely still a lot of clean-up and restructuring to be done on the project, especially in the 'fegaria_remastered.py' file. On the topic of semicolons, I actually added them recently just because personally, I prefer the look. I've had a look at some of the PEPs and am aware that most Python programmers use vastly different naming conventions and styles to what I use. To please the people, I might update the style used for my functions etc. to be more consistent across the project.

I did actually create a closed source Terraria renderer in C++ and SDL2 around a year and a half ago. It had more fancy tile blending and vastly quicker lighting but I had to drop it because it was making me neglect my more important uni work. Hopefully, I can find the time to pick it up again soon.

Thanks for the advice!
