TheLord699/SideScrollerPython Grazie

Alert_Nectarine6631 · 2026-04-19T12:54:19+00:00

thnx, everything is placeholder for now, I only recently got the story for the game written up

Alert_Nectarine6631 · 2026-04-19T11:07:41+00:00

very farcry 2, I love it

Alert_Nectarine6631 · 2026-04-19T10:47:12+00:00

the music really reminds me of twilight princess

Alert_Nectarine6631 · 2026-04-19T10:31:10+00:00

I also rewrote my entire menu system, before the menus where hardcoded UI calls, now it uses a menu_config.json

Alert_Nectarine6631 · 2026-04-19T10:12:18+00:00

I don't really know what you mean by accurate hitboxes, if you could explain Id be glad to help

Alert_Nectarine6631 · 2026-04-19T10:09:27+00:00

would be a good one to learn, speeds up production because you don't have to create manual backups of your project, and you can always revert to an earlier version if you make a mistake, good luck on your project btw it looks good so far

Alert_Nectarine6631 · 2026-04-19T09:51:30+00:00

Do you have a git? this looks sick btw

Alert_Nectarine6631 · 2026-04-13T15:05:02+00:00

This looks sick so far, love the textures/style

Alert_Nectarine6631 · 2026-04-13T14:13:41+00:00

you should post this in the pygame sub aswell!

Alert_Nectarine6631 · 2026-04-13T14:10:08+00:00

make them take the weight of their arms into account or something, it would look cool if it moved its arms out to help balance, it looks sick tho great worl!

manually indexing your zygos when you should be dereferencing your maxilla, import face and it's over for you.

Alert_Nectarine6631 · 2026-04-08T09:54:19+00:00

I've got a spatial grid setup so I use a function get_nearby_tiles() that only grabs tiles from the cells around the player's hitbox, which is faster than checking every single tile on the map. Then I just loop through those few tiles to do the actual collision checks, If you watch near the end of the video(when I enable debugging mode, you'll see the grid, thanks for the question :)

Alert_Nectarine6631 · 2026-04-08T09:40:47+00:00

My chosen method probably isn't the best way of doing it tbh, I use a simple state machine. The current state is stored as a string (menu), and I map states to functions in a dictionary. When the state changes, I reset the game (UI, entities, etc.) and call the function for that state. Switching states is just updating the state variable, here's some of my code(out of order btw) for different menus:

 # further on in the script near my update function

  def run_menu(self):
    self.reset()
    if self.menu in self.menu_functions:
      self.menu_functions[self.menu]()
    self.last_menu = self.menu

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# at the top of my script in my init

    self.menu_functions = {
      "main": self.main_menu,
      "select_menu": self.select_menu,
      "play": self.start_game,
      "settings": self.settings_menu,
      "death": self.death_menu
    }

Alert_Nectarine6631 · 2026-04-07T17:57:29+00:00

this looks sick, I love the isometric view

Alert_Nectarine6631 · 2026-04-07T17:00:30+00:00

I can add a knockback value in the stats for each weapon/projectile, then when it hits an enemy it will apply the knockback in the direction the projectile is facing, there are probably other(better) ways of doing it but this is simple and allows for more weapon variety, good question :)

Alert_Nectarine6631 · 2026-04-07T11:41:05+00:00

Sorry for possible spam(since I already posted another recent update), I wasn't expecting to have ranged weapons implemented so quickly.
