python
this is a retro game you play in the terminal
or clone it
when this started
I made this retro game for the portfolio project assignment in the nucamp back end devops bootcamp
this was the first version of random island adventure
it is a python app played in the terminal
this was for the nucamp back end devops course portfolio projects

main.py
- this is how you code when you're a noob
- this file is a hot mess but it works
- it does way too much
- maybe I'll explain it if I ever clean it up :)
mods/map.py
- to start with an island...
- I made a "map", ironically I wanted to practice using the python built in type
map1 - this could be reused to create a space for any cartesian based game
- it allows you to move north, south, east and west
# map
def home():
x, y = 0, 0
point = (x, y)
return point
def north(point):
"""move north"""
y = point[1] + 1
point = (point[0], y)
return point
def south(point):
"""move south"""
y = point[1] - 1
point = (point[0], y)
return point
def east(point):
"""move east"""
x = point[0] + 1
point = (x, point[1])
return point
def west(point):
"""move west"""
x = point[0] - 1
point = (x, point[1])
return point
boundaries
- the map is infinite
- this code added borders for north, south, east and west
def check_boundry(x, y):
"""check if x or y are off the map"""
if x in range(-2, 3) and y in range(-2, 3):
return 0
elif x > 2:
text = "you REACHED THE OCEAN and cannot move further east"
return text
elif x < -2:
text = "you REACHED THE OCEAN and cannot move further west"
return text
elif y > 2:
text = "you REACHED THE OCEAN and cannot move further north"
return text
elif y < -2:
text = "you REACHED THE OCEAN and cannot move further south"
return text
drawing the map (compass feature)
- later I added a compass that reveals the map
- this draws the draw a map
- this also provided a visual way to debug during development
def draw_row(coordinate, column):
drawing = ""
for x in range(-2, 3):
if coordinate[0] == x and coordinate[1] == column:
drawing += " X"
else:
drawing += " ."
return drawing
def draw_grid(coordinate):
for x in "abcde":
if x == "a":
print(draw_row(coordinate, 2))
elif x == "b":
print(draw_row(coordinate, 1))
elif x == "c":
print(draw_row(coordinate, 0))
elif x == "d":
print(draw_row(coordinate, -1))
elif x == "e":
print(draw_row(coordinate, -2))
map coordinate stack2
- to make this a random island adventure, a treasure and disaster gets dropped on the map
- it was possible that they both land on the same location
- or even land on
0,0where the player starts - so I created a stack to store and validate used coordinates
class UsedCoordinates:
def __init__(self):
self.items = []
def size(self):
return len(self.items)
def use(self, item):
self.items.append(item)
def remove(self):
if self.size() == 0:
return None
return self.items.pop(0)
def validate(self, item):
if item in self.items:
# print('coordinate in use')
return 1
else:
# print('coordinate available')
return 0
def used_coordinates(self):
print(self.items)
return self.items
mods/
I wanted to be able to plug these into other games so I put everything in mods/
in case later I make different themes, like a survival based hunt and gather game, or a crafty creative mode game, etc.
mods/player.py
this tracks the player
mods/treasure.py
games are for winning
mods/disasters.py
games are less fun if you always win, this is basically a copy of treasure
mods/narrate.py
for giggles
mods/item.py
the only feature I actually implemented with items is the compass
if you find the compass, the map gets drawn
the idea with this was to tie it to npcs.py but that hasn't happened yet
mods/npc.py
wip: later I'll do the typical game move, npcs give you quests, to go collect items, and return a reward...
