Dev profile for @LP_MaeL to avoid unnecessary spam on main channel. Learning to code makes me want to share every change I make with #python #pygame

[MaeL Dev @LPMaeL_Dev]

My journey so far with the Dev - with change logs. Probably forgot few things that changed along the way.

I made a thing and it is working! Working on a crawler, again after 2 years, but this time in #Unity. I know little, but let's see how far will I get this time!

Walls, creatures/doors and items are all different types of objects. To have it together work properly(sprites appearing in proper order, behind walls, from all directions, img scaling) took me forever. That Code looks ugly!

#gamedev | #python | #pygame | #crpg | #dungeoncrawler

[MaeL Dev @LPMaeL_Dev]

Objects added to draw_wall code. now they get displayed in proper order! Sizing, scaling and positioning will be done later, a lot later! Next I'll check doors & buttons positioning & scaling

#gamedev | #python | #pygame | #crpg | #dungeoncrawler

[MaeL Dev @LPMaeL_Dev]

Automatic scaling for objects in distance is now done. Now we can see objects further ahead, but still only in direct line. Still needs a lot of work!

#gamedev | #python | #pygame | #crpg | #dungeoncrawler

[MaeL Dev @LPMaeL_Dev]

and this happens when you try old, un-adjusted code with its new version. I actually LOL'd 🤣 simple 'else-if single sprite' fixed it back to regular thunder. Also, PoisonBlast works as a spell now!

@StrattonStudios Thank you!

[MaeL Dev @LPMaeL_Dev]

First attempt at revamped spellcast! Tried with single sprite, tried with 4+ sprites. This seems to be the sweet spot in both size and count!

#gamedev | #python | #pygame | #crpg | #dungeoncrawler

[MaeL Dev @LPMaeL_Dev]

New spellbook in development! Spell refresh is the current restriction (refreshes after few seconds). to be expanded by spellbooks found & character levels etc. Also, new chest sprite!@

Small improvement to the level
map - Show item info at cursor

#gamedev | #python | #pygame | #crpg | #dungeoncrawler

[MaeL Dev @LPMaeL_Dev]

Map system revamped:
- Minimap is now focused on player and is scrolling accordingly. Its size will probably be 5x5
- Level map is now available under a separate button, which pauses the game.

Helicopter now has a simple ignition / start-up sequence.
Just one button and away you go! 👉🚁

After two weeks of break I've decided to do something simple to see if I still remember how to do stuff. Made something not planned at all - capture screenshot. For in range loop checks if file exists, if yes, runs again, if not, creates screenshot.
#gamedev | #python | #pygame

[MaeL Dev @LPMaeL_Dev]

Quite happy with the texture flipping on temporary sprites. Brigthness difference will remain until new textures will happen.

#gamedev | #python | #pygame | #crpg | #dungeoncrawler

[MaeL Dev @LPMaeL_Dev]

More changes:
- More placeholder texture!
- Weapon Un/Equip works 100%, including weapon swaps!
- added locks (check between key/lock/door objects)
- many bug fixes whch I accidently created!

#gamedev | #python | #pygame | #crpg | #dungeoncrawler

[MaeL Dev @LPMaeL_Dev]

More textures, new monster (still made in paint! by friend!) plenty of code optimization! items once again pickable to the cursor! Works good, doesn't crash! #gamedev | #python | #pygame | #crpg | #dungeoncrawler

Full progress is available here https://t.co/bdZCAjyHmC

[MaeL Dev @LPMaeL_Dev]

I've worked out two more features:
- ability to switch gear depending on carried item in first slot
- mouse clicking in the inventory to drop desired item

Those features should soon be combined. See them in action here!

I might know some basics in coding, but this guy is doing wonders!

After a longer break, I've finally got back to the code! It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. Thanks @HiddenAsbestos for motivating me with your #UntitledHelicopterGame!

Starting off with item interaction
