Small game project developped for uLaval python course GLO-1901

Lost in space

This project was made as a school project for the course GLO-1901 : Introduction to programmation using Python. The goal is to control a small spaceship and reach the end (identified by a Death-Star) the fastest possible (if against others), within the given amount of gas. This solo or multiplier game (up to 4 players) will guarantee a combination of stress, excitement and lots of fun!

Since the server was unplugged, I've managed to rebuild it from scratch to be able to play again!

Installation

git clone https://github.com/vigenere23/lost-in-space.git
cd GLO-1901_Lost-in-space
pip install -r requirements.txt

Basic commands

See --help for a comprehensive list of all the commands.

All worlds (e.g. world2) must be in a correct json format and stored in the client/worlds/ folder.

Starting the server

python -m server.server

Playing the game

Offline

python -m client.lost player1 -o world2

List waiting games

python -m client.lost player1 -l

Host a game online (4 players)

python -m client.lost player1 -c 4 world2

Join a game online (hosted by player1)

python -m client.lost player1 -j player1

Creating a world

Worlds are stored as .json files in the client/worlds folder. Following is a list of possible parameters and their defaults.

start_pos (default: [0, 0])

Starting position of the ships.

end_pos (default: [100, 100])

Position ships must arrive to win (position of the death-star).

energy (default: 30)

Total energy or gas (in seconds) ships start with.

accel (default: 100)

Acceleration of the ships (in pixels / sec^2)

ang_velocity (default: 180)

Angular velocity of the ships (in degrees / sec)

bounciness (default: 0.9)

Factor of acceleration (<1 = deceleration) occured when an obstacle is hit.

obstacles (default: [])

List of obstacles and theirs points (in order).

Ex:

{
  // ...
  "obstacles": [
    [
      // obstacle #1
      [0, 0],       // point #1
      [0, 100],     // point #2
      [100, 100],   // point #3
      [100, 0]      // point #4
    ],
    [
      // obstacle #2
      // ...
    ]
  ]
  // ...
}
