This is one spicy game.
This was a group project at Waseda University for the Advanced Programming class. It is a short rpg game written in python and the "screen" is the terminal window. You walk through the overworld and encounter 3 hot peppers that you fight in the Arena. Each unit has 3 attack options. Some moves apply status effects. There is a status effects GUI to display information about all current ailments. The game is actually pretty difficult, so good use of the status effects is necessary to win (and some luck). Each of the 3 enemies has a specific fighting style (Ex: tank with low damage, but high status effects). The game is rather quick and easy to play.
Requires Python 3. Just run Universe.py
The game starts with a Universe that has no form. It only stores the information about all the objects that exist.
Inside the Universe, there is both an Arena (Pokemon battle style view) and an Overworld (top down view). The Overworld gets instantiated once. However, we instantiate the Arena every time we use it. Once the battle is over, the same Overworld as before appears.
This is not inheritance, but just how data flows in general:
Universe
Screen
Overworld or Arena
Entity
Pokemon
Player
Monster
Universe calls update() which calls update() in Overworld or Arena.
An Entity is any game object that has a position and ASCII representation.
A Pokemon is any Entity that can exist in the Arena. The ArenaHealthBar
is an example of using the Entity class by itself.
