Let's continue with the development of the roguelike in the chill & python sessions.
As I mentioned earlier, when I have some free time and want to relax, I will turn on my youtube channel live streaming, put some cool music and start coding without pressure, just for fun.
Chill out and #python sesión II - YouTube

All what I am going to talk about is in the game repo
First I wanted to clear a little the code in the main zone, something like this, kind of standard in curses libraries.
def main(stdscr):
# my code here
wrapper(main)
From there it is way easier to code stuff, because even if now you see a lot of code there, in the future it will be easier to send the code to functions/classes.
The second change that I did was changing the way you send commands. Instead of writing a command, I will expect an ascii code, so, depending on which key the player press, it will do different stuff.For keypad there are special curses commands
while command != 101:
stdscr.addstr(p.posy,p.posx,'@',curses.color_pair(1)) #WRITE THE CHARACTER
#We need to put any enemy that is available in the room
for i in room.enemies:
stdscr.addstr(i.posy,i.posx,i.symbol)
print_player(p, stdscr)
print_board(stdscr)
print_room(room,stdscr)
command = stdscr.getch() #Interesting, this returns an ASCII char...
stdscr.erase()
if command == curses.KEY_LEFT: #Interesting, if I want to have arrows I should not convert ascii...
if p.posx>1:
p.posx -=1
if command == curses.KEY_RIGHT:
if p.posx<79:
p.posx +=1
if command == curses.KEY_UP:
if p.posy>2:
p.posy -=1
if command == curses.KEY_DOWN:
if p.posy<22:
p.posy +=1 #Yes, terrible...
#Move enemies
room.move_enemies()
Now, I don't expect 'exit' or 'e', I just expect ASCII code 101 (e) to finish the main loop.
For movement of the character, now I have a position in x and y in the character class, so everytime the player press an arrow key, it moves.
This is what I added in the player constructor:
def __init__(self, name, creature):
self.name = name
self.creature = creature #let's start with human or elf.
self.strength = 0
self.defense = 0
self.gold = 0
self.room = '' #here is a question... do the character need to know where he is or the room should know who is there????
self.posx = 10
self.posy = 10
The ifs that I put in arrow movement are because I assume that a terminal is 80x25 (there might be other configurations but, as I have to have fixed positions, I want to make it possible to be run in almost any terminal).
Then is the enemies movement. I also added that position stuff to enemies in the room and gave them random movement in the room class.
def move_enemies(self):
for i in self.enemies:
move = random.randint(1,4)
if move == 1:
if i.posx>1:
i.posx -=1
if move == 2:
if i.posx<79:
i.posx +=1
if move == 3:
if i.posy>2:
i.posy -=1
if move == 4:
if i.posy<22:
i.posy +=1
I know there might be better ways to do this but for now, this works and as logic starts to be harder, I will move all this.
Then added some colors and functions for the board and...
As I mentioned, in the article you have the repo, feel free to do whatever you want and subscribe to the channel!
