lol i am making a game and i am learning python-pygames

[@raphaelmacedo4467]

I have been thinking a LOT on doing this kind of game, with some drawings using text input as well. Maybe publishing it on steam? I started studying python this week, so I am full of ideas, but my focus would be an RPG text based game with items, combat, “exploration”, choices. A good combat system, instead of just putting as a fixed choice, would be to use the random module. For example, some enemy can have an attack range of [0-4], 0 being a miss and 4 a critical hit, and your character as well, having more attack, HP, as it levels up...

[@deimos351]

[@fredriko6444]

the while True statement makes it ask if I would like to play after ever decision in my game. Does this happen to anyone else? Or do you know how to fix?

[@hereiseminem]

If you still need an answer, you may not have indented properly. Make sure everything below the while True is shifted by one tab-space to the right. You can select everything except the while True and hit tab if you are in Pycharm. Don't forget the break in the else to stop the infinite loop when you want.

[@elianderson8849]

I remember playing games like this when I was very young. Kings quest. It’s very similar and was a lot of fun. Defiantly going to try making my own

[@kelceyfirth]

Not sure if this is more intermediate but I put all of the parts into functions which return a variable which has the next function. I used while loops to validate the answers and created characters which ask questions (inputs) and retrieve the information at a later time.

[@00mad_max]

im learning how to code because of this one girl i truly love. shes a comp engg!!

Thank you for your help. I've learned so many things because I've no xp in this stuff. It makes me feel amazing, I will try to create my own text-based game, first this then an apk. Thank you so much

thank you i think its finally starting to click for me with this programming stuff edit: so I decided to program this zombie NYC apocalypse! so far I have completed 4 endings! this is a lot of fun thank you so much for being easy with this guide. I can finally understand some part of coding without it feeling alien.

[@busterdafydd3096]

Looking at this tutorial... And then his subs, and then his most recent videos... Something doesn't add up quite well. Well I'm glad he's got better at programming than this

[@deoxybribedcoding2803]

From what i've learned with python all you need to learn for a text adventure is 1. print("") 2. input = ("") 3. def something(): something() make sure if you're making a long one display it like this def something(): print("Text") name = input("Name:") something() thats very basic but it includes all 3 points. def can be named anything and so can the input

Isn’t Python the most beautiful language?

[@mrunixman1579]

I am having a go at another one which relates to an old dream of mine. I have done one previously to mock granny's garden type game. I done many python courses myself.

Your narrative is compelling; much like a book I cherished for its depth. "A Life Unplugged: Reclaiming Reality in a Digital Age" by Various Authors

[@00Gerny00]

Can you do this outside the terminal so you can make the text larger and maybe implement images?

[@musiclife5551]

Definitely you can and obviously the project will get a little bit more complex! You can use flask and make your app work in the browser. You will sending choices as a response on get request and handle user input as answer using post request! It's not hard but you need a little bit practice with that

Is there any way to 'export' the game so that someone can play it outside of the program? Or do they basically have to pull up the Python editor and type in the bottom of the screen in order to play every time?

[@jamesmortensen6819]

Feels like you could use booleans variables so as to not have so many nested ifs

[@spanailos]

Hey, this Video is very helpful. I literally just started learning Python and programming in general and was looking exactly for this, trying to do my own little adventure. I have one question I am stuck right now. How can I make a restart in the game, when I loose. Like: answer = input ("You loose. Wanna restart the game?") if answer == "Yes" and now make the game jump back to the top to restart? I looked around a while on the internet, but could not find a way to make it happen. Does anyone can help me out how to do this?

How do we create it as multiple choice with every answer having a different outcome?

[@jean7464]

You can make it as a if/else statement. If (go that way) than happens sometimes, else if (if you want more that two options) that happens sometimes else and then else and you write what should happen.

[@WillowMayim]

Really fun! Just ran it through and it works great. Thanks!

[@sandraciccarello3256]

How would you include a win or lose condition to state whether you lost or won the game at the end instead of printing it after every choice?

is there a way to move the cursor in the game run tdown to the next line for the players input?

I am just learning python. Your videos help. I have a question. If you were moving through a series of rooms and needed to collect items. What would be the code for that if the command would be get "item name"? One other thing if you move forward to a room and want to go backward to that room what would be the code for that? Thank you for your help in advance.

[@adyanchowdhury4318]

did you figure it out?

[@vynshi]

Me and my friends made a game like this but with health, damage, random events and stuff like that. Very cool tutorial nonetheless

[@vbps3]

So if there are multiple choices, and it's a longer game, will there just be indentations that you have to scroll through? Is it hard to manage which indentation/choice you are on there?

[@staaldak]

If the game started with "Would you like to play?" Instead of "What you like to play?" with a (yes/no) answer, I would have kept watching.

[@Shwoble]

yeah but yes might be the name of the game

[@shikasketchbook7610]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, really appreciate it. I wonder how to package this with GUI or graphics, tq

[@etharno8566]

does the .lower.strip affect the rest of the code after or only that input??

[@fejiobbdo]

I would have really liked to learn some way of looping back to a specific line of code, to repeat an input prompt, in case the player makes a typo or something. Could I get a tip as to how I might do that?

[@tybuddy100]

You can make functions. Then you could have it repeat a line of code without writing it again. I'll give you an example, when I put # I'm explaining something and it's not part of the code. def direction(): #makes a function that is named "direction" answer= input("Do you want to go left or right? ") if answer == "left" : print("You died") elif answer == "right": print("You escaped") else: direction() #this calls the direction function when an invalid answer is given. This will repeat all the code that is part of the direction function. direction() #you have to write the function name (call the function) in order to make it show when you run the program.

[@adamfomin6328]

What if u draw someone to a dead end is there anyway to have them go back to a previous step

[@kaelyn1]

oh so we don't need to put different variables for different answers? we can just use the same variable (answer)?

[@musiclife5551]

Yeah you can use the same variable. Also instead of hardcoding question in if statements you can create a list of dictionaries called scenes with some data you need for each scene(for example correct_answer and wrong_answer that would be messages you can choose between, next_question that will be the key of the next scene item and gameover_message that will be printed if you take the wrong path. And you can implement a function that will be consume these scene items and compare given answer with correct one and move the game to the next scene. These are some ideas, you can play around and learn by doing mistakes.

[@kaelyn1]

@@musiclife5551 oooohh okaay that's really helpful to know! thank you very much!

[@SirJohnny0]

Couldn't you make a program for each scenario and then make a main program where you import the scenarios into the correct pathways, to avoid a cramped program? Although it would be harder to debug.

[@thegamecracks1317]

Interesting idea, I've never thought of splitting scenarios like that. I can't think of a reason why it would be harder to debug, as Python will specify which module, or program, caused the exception. You can also raise custom exceptions to help explain what happened if say, you coded an incorrect parameter to one of your functions.

[@matthewchaney5975]

What thing are you typing on and how do you get it.

[@maheedesai8362]

I'm not sure what he's typing on, but you can use repl.it. It's a website.

[@justme-kx9nk]

You can use codeskulptor3 it is great for coding if you are a beginner

[@serenasing]

Thank you! This was fun and simple☺️

[@dominicballinger6536]

I'd recommend, at least to make it restart, to have the game code lay in a function and call it as long as a startup prompt is equal to y or yes or whatever.

[@purplev2791]

It would be great to include the error statement, if there is one! =) One mistake here might be the "or" operator in your if-statement. The or-operator sets another condition. Now it checks if a variable called "Yes" has the value true, because that's the default condition for an if-statement. So you would have to repeat the actual condition, for example: if ins.lower().strip() == "yes" or ins.lower().strip() == "Yes" But this isn't necessary. The .lower() makes sure the input of the user is lowercase. So the user could type in "YES" or even "YeS" and as long the variable ins has the lower() method, the value will become "yes". That's why you don't need the upper-case condition for "yes" and "no". I hope you already found the solution in the meantime. :)

What does the .lower() and the .strip() do?

[@ChonGeeSan]

.lower() makes the string all lower case, .strip() removes whitespace characters from the beginning and the end of the string (not from the middle). All of these work only on string objects. You might want to test this first, or convert it into a string with str(). You might also be interested in .split() this will split the string into a list of strings, it will cut where ever you have a whitespace character. (Whitespace can be: space, newline, tab, ... stuff that is there, but invisible)
