Oh that works perfect. Thank you for posting that function!

Thank you!

Ooo I see. In the area.py file, put these two in the constructor if they aren’t already: global area area = self Here’s a reference to the area class on GitHub. github.com/AlexanderFarrell/adventure_game_python/blob/10-main-menu/src/core/area.py Hope that helps!

@@alexanderfarrelltech I have these in the area.py file but it's not working

@@alexanderfarrelltech I solved the issue by having the 'from core.area import area' in the Player class instead of at the beginning of the file. It's quite weird but it works now. Thank you.

I tried to debug it. So I deleted the player from the .map file and just load the map itself (with only tiles and trees and rocks, etc). Then it says the 'Sprite' object has no attribute 'entity'.

It seems there's something wrong with the entity creation, but it's really weird because these issues didn't not pop up when I was watching the entity video.

Ooh I see. There’s a couple possibilities: 1. In player.py, all the references to self.entity are in the update function right? I’ve had trouble with this too if you do self.entity in the constructor. 2. Do you have the following code in entity.py?: component.entity = self 3. And this in entity.py?: for c in components: self.add(c) I think the code not be adding the component to the entity, or may not be setting the entity.

Thank you so much for watching this series and I am so glad it’s been awesome and beneficial! That’s a great idea. Honestly, it needs some gameplay elements like you mentioned such as skills, or energy, or threat zones. I also have quests on the backlog. For particles, I think you could create a small image in Gimp, and then just draw lots of them like sprites. I’ve been exploring the pygame documentation, and it doesn’t seem to have ways to batch draw lots of them, but quite frankly it could probably easily do 50 particles for an effect anyway. And thank you for the suggestions! I’m exploring doing a revised combat video, and I think magic or healing would be awesome. Thank you.

I would like to add these battle elements also (exp on kill, armor, and stamina).

Error parsing line: ,11,1. invalid literal for int() with base 10: '' the map works if i delete and replace. however when i go into the editor, i cant go back.

For anyone wondering i fixed the bug. center_forest.map has tiles missing in it. you need to fill the map out with tiles in the bottom right of the map, as well as 1 extra tile outside of the zone before saving it as a binary file otherwise it creates a gap in the code and is showing that there is nothing there to read.

Thank you so much for finding this and sending the bug. I think I'm going to patch the forest_center map on the branch just in case anyone runs into this issue in the future. Sorry you had to go through the trouble in finding this bug with the hole in the forest_center.map file.

@@alexanderfarrelltech i struggle with bug fixes so it was fun trying to figure it out!

Thank you for suggestions on the combat video. I think in hindsight, the combat could be greatly improved, and want to do another video on revising combat. Thank you for the feedback on it, since it can help in planning a future video on it.

@@alexanderfarrelltech im trying to make it so that the enemy respawns. am i creating a check respawn function and modifying the on death function or do i create a mark that checks if the object was destroyed or saved for later? the only issue with this respawn code, is that i cannot seem to be able to access the original location the enemy was placed. #Enemy.py respawn_queue = [] def on_enemy_death(entity): from core.area import area area.remove_entity(entity) print("Called Death") respawn_time = pygame.time.get_ticks() + 5000 respawn_queue.append((entity, respawn_time)) #existing code def check_respawn(): current_time = pygame.time.get_ticks() for enemy, respawn_time in respawn_queue[:]: if current_time >= respawn_time: new_enemy = Enemy(enemy.combat.health, enemy.weapon.item_id, enemy.x, enemy.y) new_enemy.setup() respawn_queue.remove(enemy)

Thank you for finding this, I'll move it on the forest center map. The trees covering the UI is an issue, and I think I'll try to see if it remains one in other videos. If it does, I'll fix in a future video. Thank you so much for the help on this, and with all the other things you've found.

Once again thank you so much for finding this. This would have actually caused an error if it was called, so your find makes the code much more reliable.

Thank you so much for finding those, I've modified the respective branches so that they are more consistent with the video. Sorry for the delay, had some personal things come up this past 2 weeks.

You are absolutely right. Thank you for catching that. I think that might have been a mistake to import entities into the player file in this video. Seriously, I do appreciate the questions and feedback. Because anyone else following along can have an easier time if I make any mistakes. I’d say go ahead and remove from components.entity import Entity. It shouldn’t hurt if you leave it though as well, as it’s just an unused import.

Oh sweet, and feedback would be so appreciated. I have a bit to learn to make these videos as effective as possible in teaching the concepts. And that is incredibly kind, thank you so much! If there’s any critique, I’d be happy to hear as well. Thank you.

That is so kind thank you so much!

Oh I see, I'll see if Pygame can sometimes delay with user input. Would you mind pasting the update function from your player.py file?

Oh that would be awesome to do a longer text based game like that.

Thank you!

@@alexanderfarrelltech I visited your website and played your ordered power game lol. I had no idea you knew so many programing languages 😳

@@anthonydrakefordshadow oh sweet haha. While I may not cover every language listed on there, I do want to make this channel a really good resource, and I have a lot of work to do to do that. I particularly want to focus on Python, JavaScript, C, C++, SQL and Go, but may adjust this.

Oh I hear you. Time has gone by so fast.

Sorry for the confusion on this video with not having the venv folder. Have the venv folder be separate, and put the core and component folders outside the venv folder.

@@alexanderfarrelltech does the venv folder go last? because anytime i try to take my code out of the venv folder, they are unable to read each other and turns into a buggy mess. "could not be resolved" when moving files out of venv. and it doesnt auto switch the code when swapping.

@@Nubbley I hear you. Do have everything out of the venv folder, and have it as a separate folder. Activate the virtual environment by running source venv/bin/activate on Mac or Linux, and ./venv/Scripts/activate.bat on Windows. Ensure that pygame is installed by running pip install pygame When doing imports, list the folder that each one is in. So for example, if you have your Sprite class being imported into another file, type from components.sprite import Sprite In this example, we go into the components folder, into a file called sprite.py to import a class called Sprite. If you run into any hurdles, please let me know I’d be happy to help.

@@alexanderfarrelltech i activated the venv. have pygame installed. i tried the src folder inside and outside the venv file, and ive tried typing the individual file with "from components.sprite import Sprite" and the code shows white. still has the problem "could not be resolved" when moving the files out of the venv file. the code is not refactoring when moving the files.

@@Nubbley ah I see. It is possible VSCode might be running into some trouble with refactoring. When it says "could not be resolved", what in particular is it looking for? Which class or function is it unable to locate? If you'd like, feel free to share the error message and I'd be happy to take a look.

Absolutely. Do you have camera = pygame.Rect(0,0,0,0) in the camera.py file? Check if any letters are capital. And which different errors did you get?

@@alexanderfarrelltech i closed vscode and restarted it, seems to have worked.

It could be a couple things: 1. Was a tile map created? 2. Is the draw method of the tilemap being called? Let me know if you have any questions, I’d be happy to help.

Sweet. I should have asked, are you building the platformer game, or a similar game to the adventure game? I've got more videos in the works for the series coming soon as well. I'm thinking of possibly adding quests, shops, revising combat, and some other possible ideas.

@@alexanderfarrelltech top down like yours

Thank you so much, have a lot of work to do!

@@alexanderfarrelltech 🤩🤩🤩 You know I am here for it!

Hi Nubbley, actually all of the sprites I use in this game are my own. I probably should have mentioned. For this game, I set most sprites to 32x32, or for characters I set them to 32x64 for them to be taller. Some sprites like the trees are a bit bigger. 32x32 is a good start to both make sprites quicker and get a feel for it. Higher resolutions let you add more detail, however take slightly longer. I have another video for doing textures / tiles in GIMP, but not one for characters and sprites. I’ll try to plan one 🙂. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6mmnI2PgZVjfLMsi=1D3mkOdx4SAMmqco

@Nubbley to follow up, I've published a video going over how I do sprites in GIMP. Hope it helps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWezkoumi812rNU

@@alexanderfarrelltech thanks brother!

Thank you! You're right, it really was needed to do animations. Thank you again for all the encouragement. I want to help others learn and have both code and tutorials to build their games, and your support has helped a lot.

That is very kind thank you. It's been a lot of fun! You likely already know, but if you ever want to jump to a particular part, the source code is available for each video if that makes it easier. Wish you the best in your journey and with your games.

That is so kind, thank you so much for the encouragement. And really all the encouragement this whole time. This was the most difficult one to get done, but now its done. More to come.

@@alexanderfarrelltech I don’t have to work this evening so I actually get to sit and absorb 🤩

Sounds good! I will plan an animations video. I want to finish doing the level editor, and then will do an animation video after.

I am! Thank you for the continued encouragement, really that’s incredibly kind. In the process of planning the next set of videos and will release soon.

@@alexanderfarrelltech I have still been working on my adventure game. Excited to see what you might add next 😇

Thank you so much that is so kind! Will do, planning more videos in the future!

Thank you @Makspython69oleynik! You know a great resource is O’Reilly books. I don’t sponsor them or anything, but you can read lots of technical books such as ones in Python on their website. I believe they may still have a free trial. W3schools is good for getting a quick introduction to Python. W3resource is good if you want lots of practice exercises to do. Once you’re comfortable with the basics of Python, learn about various external modules. Learn how to build web applications with Python using either Django or Flask (or try both). Learn how to build games with PyGame, such as with these videos. Learn Numpy, Pandas and Matplotlib for data science. Build desktop applications with TKinter. Learn how to automate things on web pages with Selenium. The more modules you learn, the more you can do with Python right out of the box. There are a ton of other KZbin channels too that have great content.

Thank you so much!

Glad you enjoyed it! I’ll take a look, I’ve been considering adding a minimap. One issue is we need to make a way to save the game. I think then I’ll consider adding such a feature. Thank you for the suggestion.

Thank you!

That is so kind thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Happy you enjoyed the video. Wish you the best in your learning & projects.

Thank you that is very kind! Glad you've enjoyed them. And will do!

At the moment, I only have the regular Python extension installed for VSCode used in these videos. But a very useful extension which can show indentation is indent-rainbow on VSCode. Feel free to search on the extensions in VSCode for rainbow, or indent, there are several plugins which inspect or highlight indentation even better than this video.
