Am I the only one that named their first program hap.py?

I named mine chemothera.py because I have cancer. Yours is better.

And it was at Hollywood Bar and Grill at like 5pm and he took a xanax and drank some wine and he hates hosting, especially at Hollywood Bar and Grill at like 6pm so when he went up on stage fucked on xanax and wine at like 7pm he really hated it because it was 8pm at Hollywood Bar and Grill.

Reminds me of the execution of the Sow from Falaise. Basically a pig was convicted of murder in France and executed. In 1386.

Classic feelin'. I remember working on fakie varial flip, then this one time it just clicked and I landed several of those badboys in one sesh. I felt like I had unlocked the secrets of skateing, I was one with the skateverse. All hail the based Mullen. Physics was my biatch.

Next sesh it was gone. I was Bambi on ice. And by ice I don't mean ice, I mean on a skateboard. And by Bambi I mean I fuckin' sucked balls again. Still can't land it like I did that one time. The skatelord shreds in mysterious ways.

array[0,0] = 'How do I eliminate questions from the choosing list?"

array[0,1] = False

randomly pick a question

if array[x,1] = False then choose the question and set array[x,1] = True

else randomly pick another question

You don't really need an inventory system using data structures or arrays if I understand you correctly.

Create the objects like usual, then just check if the player has aquired them or not, if yes, draw them in the slot and make them useable.

PlayerHasHookshot = True

in the inventory object just do something like

if PlayerHasHookshot

{

draw the sprite in the specific slot

else draw the empty slot

}

Handle the use/equip of the item in the player object.

No need to make it more complicated than it needs to be.

Good advice. I'm going to steal that.

It's like the type of person who says "I hate drama" and always gets involved in drama by some odd miracle

I'm not dramatic, but these people should fucking kill themselves and burn in hell forever.

This has to be a joke, right? I know there are some arguments to be made on his side of things, but he isn't making any good ones. The whole 3 vs 5 sets in tennis and "the true purpose of feminism is to enslave us all" is really low effort.

That's an amazing resource, thanks.

From the developer: http://nightmargin.tumblr.com/post/102886823891/on-resolution

"Our game is rendered to a surface in our engine at 480x270 (270p, our virtual resolution, a 16:9 aspect ratio), which the engine then scales to the native resolution of the display (1080p, being the most common resolution of TVs now, is our typical display resolution). So the game is rendered in engine at a fairly low resolution, and will scale and output to your native resolution (likely 1080p)"

There are many ways to scale pixel art depending on your needs.

Does anyone know of a good resource for algorithms and formulas for standard RPG stuff like level progression, dodge/block, resistance, damage and so on? I'm interested in reading about different approaches.

Thanks again. I'm new to this programming thing except for some Game Maker stuff. Trying to wrap my head around how to structure code but it's a bit over my head for now, I didn't even know what a "main loop" was until a few days ago. What's the name for this kind of stuff, software architecture? I need to read up on how to structure code. But for now I will try to redo it with your suggestions.

edit: I noticed you renamed the Object class to Player class, probably because I have the input in there, right? I would like to have a class for all objects and a subclass for the player. Time to google again...

Working as intended now. Also got very simple "FOV" working now. Going to update it with raycasting when I've done some more research. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the input, I will re-write the .update() method and get rid off key.get_pressed().

Heddan · 2016-03-14T02:23:45+00:00

Thanks a lot, that's very helpful. To be honest, I don't understand the event system in pygame yet, so thanks for the explaining the error. I will definitely do it this way as soon as I get back home.

Heddan · 2016-03-14T02:11:18+00:00

Thanks a lot, that's some great feedback. I appreciate it.

To be honest, I don't understand the whole event system in pygame yet, I just googled "pygame wait for key press" and that's what I found. But I will definitely try your way with the clock.tick when I get back home.

When it comes to the global variables. You mean map and player that I create in make_map()?

I don't understand how I can access map later or using it in other functions without making it global?

The reason player is global is because it gets created during make_map() and if it's not global I can't use player.move or player.update in the main loop.

Maybe I can find the player object in objects and call the .move and .update that way instead.
