Hey there, thanks for the useful additions again! Let me share my thoughts: 👉🏻 The best way to use the .get method of dictionaries is the one you just mentioned - seems like I slipped over this simplification when making the video. 👉🏻 Wrapping the game in a run function is a nice way to handle it. I usually create a Game class for this and call it from the main.py that serves as the entry point of the project. And with this, you won another pin 🤙🏻

Thank you, it really means a lot to me! 🙏🏻

You are goddam right KZfaq algorithmic really gone potato mode with this one video quality is godly

You are 100% correct. It’s nice to see a developer showing love to another developer instead of looking for faults and being so petty. There’s never just 1 way to do a thing. ABSOLUTELY underrated!!!

Hey, of course, I'd be happy to help you! PyCharm can be a bit complicated if you just started out whit programming, I also had issues with it when I learned the basics. I'd try the following steps to fix the issue: First of all, give the computer a restart if you haven't done it already. If the problem persists, try to use: from .character import Character instead of from character import Character This way you explicitly import Character from the character module that is in the same directory as the file you call the import from. If the problem persists, it's likely due to improperly configured interpreter and root path. You can fix this by going to File > Settings > Project: [Your Project Name] > Python Interpreter, and selecting the correct interpreter if it's not already selected. Then to configure the root path you can right-click on the project root directory in the Project tool window, select "Mark Directory as," and then choose "Sources Root." Let me know if these steps solved the problem!

Hey! I apologize for the late reply, hope you figured out by now. If not, don't worry, let me explain. The expression you mentioned decides if the text after that row (the bars of the health bar) should be colored or not. If the self.is_colored is True, then the color code will be applied, coloring the health bar. Otherwise, if the self.is_colored is False, we'll leave an empty string there that does nothing. This way the bar won't be colored. Let me know if it's clear for you now! 🐍

Thanks a lot, bro! I was aiming to make it as beginner-friendly as possible 😁

@@orkslayergamedev will you be doing a mini game tutorial with pygame-ce?

Couldn't say no to a top sub 😎 I think the space shooter tutorial (that comes after I documented my latest game) would go well with the imporved performance of pygame-ce, especially for the transparent displaying and scaling. But if you have any suggestions, I'm open for ideas 👌🏻

@@orkslayergamedev that sounds great, I was like thinking of a complete game starting from a home page (with settings and start button) then the game and the end screen. Showcasing the transition that takes place between these scenes. There are many tutorials online on how to code game mechanics but there are almost none teaching how to make a complete game.

That's actually a great idea! It won't increase the overall complexity of my tutorial too much, so why not. Let the needs of my people be satisfied 🙌🏻 First some space shooter devlogs, than this complete space shooter game tutorial 👌🏻

Thanks for the question! It's totally up to your game logic how you want to handle health, although I like to set all negative values to zero. This way whenever I want to display health bars, I don't need to worry about incorrect negative numbers. If min is confusing to you, take a look at the following: max(health, 0) means the same as if health < 0: health = 0 Let me know if I can help with anything else!

Sure thing! I worked a lot with health bars using Pygame. Including cool visual effects like bubbles in the bar, dynamic decrease/increase instead of instant, so on. I think I even gave some insights in the #8 devlog of Ork Slayer

Hey there! I use PyCharm Community Edition but the code should run as expected regardless of the editor you use. The terminal expects an input in each cycle, did you press enter in the console?

@@orkslayergamedev I did and no go.. So I installed pyCharm and worked great. Thanks!

I'm glad that it worked at the end! Have fun using PyCharm, it has lots of cool features that you'll like! 🐍

Awesome! Keep up the learning! 🐍

I'm really happy that you find my content helpful, thanks so much for the feedback! 🙏🏻

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 🙏🏻 When defining functions and methods, you can leave type hints for the arguments and the return value. Let me show examples: def sum_numbers(n1: int, n2: int) -> int: return n1 + n2 Here we say both arguments should be integers, just like the returned number. If you use an IDE (code editor) that has a built-in linter (code checker), it will automatically warn you if you A, define the function/method in a way that the actual returned value is not what you define in the first line (where the arrow points): def sum_numbers(n1: int, n2: int) -> int: return str(n1 + n2) B, you call the function/method with arguments not matching their annotated types: sum_numbers(n1="string", n2=True) So, whenever you create a method that returns nothing, you can also emphasize it by putting -> None at the end of the definition, like... def useless_printer() -> None: print("I don't return anything") ...and when you call it: result = useless_printer() >>> "I don't return anything" print(result) >>> None Whereas you call the other method that has a returned value... result = sum_numbers(3, 4) print(result) >>> 7 I hope it's clear now, let me know if I can help with anything else!

@@orkslayergamedev Ohh gotcha, thanks a lot for such a fast and comprehensive reply!

No problem, glad to be of service!

Thanks a lot for the feedback, I'm glad my video helped you with programming! 🙌🏻 Let me assist you with quitting the game! Here's the original main loop of this video: # ------------------------------------------- while True: os.system("cls") hero.attack(enemy) enemy.attack(hero) hero.health_bar.draw() enemy.health_bar.draw() input() # ------------------------------------------- One way of handling the quit event is to break out of the while loop whenever the health of the hero reaches 0: # ------------------------------------------- if hero.health 0 # ------------------------------------------- We can even wrap all this into a Game class to make it nicer: # ------------ game class ------------ class Game: def __init__(self): self.running = True def run(self) -> None: while self.running: os.system("cls") hero.attack(enemy) enemy.attack(hero) hero.health_bar.draw() enemy.health_bar.draw() input() self.running = hero.health > 0 input("GAME OVER") exit() # ------------ game loop ------------ if __name__ == "__main__": game = Game() game.run() # ------------------------------------------- Feel free to copy-paste this into your main.py :) Drop your questions whenever you need more help!

Thanks a lot! 👋🏻

Thanks for the feedback! Don't worry, when I started learning classes years ago, it was very confusing for me too. It's not a simple concept to comprehend especially if you just started learning programming. Although the more and more you use classes, the easier the whole language is gonna be. So keep practicing and one day it will be easy as 1+1 :)

Hey, thanks! Sounds cool to me 😁 Wish I had the time to learn about low-level programming. One of my friends once recreated Celeste for a microcontroller, it's crazy!

Hey there! As you can see in the console output, the hero can drop it's default weapon too (Fists) - which is probably a bug we don't want in our games. The simplest way to resolve this issue is to update the drop method as follows: def drop(self) -> None: if self.weapon != self.default_weapon: print(f"{self.name} dropped the {self.weapon.name}!") self.weapon = self.default_weapon

Thanks man u are really my favorite Python teacher rn! @@orkslayergamedev

I really appreciate your kind words, thank you so much! I hope that you'll enjoy the upcoming content as well 🙏🏻 (ps. sorry for the late reply, youtube sends no notifications of comment answers)

Hey there! No worries at all; there are no rookie questions here. I'm happy to help! The keyword self is used in Python class methods to refer to the instance of the object it"self". Whenever you define a method inside a class, you need to include self as the first parameter so you can access the instance's attributes and other methods. When you use self, you're telling Python which object's data to access or modify (again, the data of the object itself). Furthermore, you could name it anything else, self is just a naming convention. This would work as well... class Hero: def __init__(the_object_itself, name): the_object_itself.name = name But when you actually create an object, you don't need to pass that self-referencing argument... hero = Hero("John") When you want to access the name of the hero object like... hero.name ...what Python does is it looks into the object and searches for self.name (or the_object_itself.name in this case). Hope this helps a bit! Let me know if you have further questions, I'll keep an eye out for your comment! 🐍

You made it so much clearer to understand. Thank you so much!

Thanks! Glad you liked it! 🙌

Hey 👋🏻 If you wait a couple of seconds in the video, I fix this error at 5:10. That "hp" should be "health". Since the target is an already initialized character, it will have its health attribute set in the initializer method. Sorry for the confusion!

Interesting concept! You can easily incorporate polymorphism in your idea if you define the classes this way: class Food(ABC): @abstractmethod def eat(self): pass class Cookie(Food): def eat(self): print("You ate a cookie.") class Container(ABC): @abstractmethod def store(self, food): pass class CookieJar(Container, list): def store(self, cookie): self.append(cookie) print("You put a cookie in the jar.")

@@orkslayergamedev True, if you include the container itself into the concept and actions performed on it.

Sure thing! Just two naming conventions with the difference of the first letter of the first word being capitalized or not. Although camelCase is not commonly used with Python. Funny thing is that people tend to mistake PascalCase with camelCase thinking it's CamelCase (like camels with two humps, lol), I do it sometimes too, unintentionally of course

Hey! I see the problem. If you use f strings with double quotes, all strings inside should be single quoted. Vica-versa. Otherwise your code will yield a SyntaxError. Try this one with 2 single quotes after else: f"{self.colors['default'] if self.is_colored else ''}" Swapping all singles and doubles works as well: f'{self.colors["default"] if self.is_colored else ""}'

@@orkslayergamedev sadly even doing that doesn't seem to help. It just really hates that default portion for some reason and switching from single to double quotes doesn't seem to matter. I was able to get it work by using your original code but for the life of me I couldn't see where the error on my part was as I copied it line from line but there must have been a wrong character somewhere.

Don't worry, all of us come across anomalies from time to time, where seemingly everything is 100% corrent, yet we still get an unexpected error. I'm glad you got the code running either way. Let me know if I can help with anything else!

Hey! It's the One Dark Italic style from the One Dark Theme plugin. You can find it here: plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/11938-one-dark-theme

@@orkslayergamedev tks

Hey there! We usually get this error when the module we want to import is not in the same directory. If you're sure that all the files are in the same place, you can also try to use "from .weapon import iron_sword" to explicitly say that the file you're looking for is within that local folder. Let me know if it worked!

not the person who asked the question but I had the same problem. This helped! thanks

Hey there, welcome here! 👋🏻 I started with small games too and now I'm a hired software engineer, so I was in the same boots :) I'd be happy to help with minigame tutorials and I'm always open for suggestions! I planned a space shooter game tutorial - that was postponed from last year unfortunately - with similar design as my almost complete Field Trip. Feel free to take a look at some of my recent videos, I could make a fairly simplified version of that game for a tutorial. Hope you like the idea!

@@orkslayergamedev yeah! Exactly!! I wanna follow some of your footsteps. I was thinking about you doing another video for the games that you uploaded. A separate video on the behind the scenes of how you made that game, what are your thought process, the codes that gave solution, functions that were used etc. I would love to watch those and in the end i will also be able to make my own version of your game! ❤️

I'll try to live up to your expectations and continue delivering quality content! 🤞🏻 What I can promise besides whole minigame / feature tutorials is insights from - the close-to-release - Field Trip (eg. I plan to show some reuseable code to implement lots of different powerups quickly); then restarting the development of Ork Slayer and documenting the whole process on the channel!

@@orkslayergamedev one little correction I need to add use "cls||clear" instead of "cls|clear" as the first ors `cls` with `clear` while the other pipes `cls` to `clear`

Right, thanks for the correction! I'll use this trick later on 👌🏻

Hey there! Thanks again for the feedback, much appreciated! I replied to your other comment with the solution, please take a look and tell me if it helped! 🙌

@@orkslayergamedev Hi Thnaks for the reply, and sorry for commenting on the wrong vid, had both open and commented on that one by mistake. As for my Init(s), i double checked all of them, and all of them are __Init__ (double underscored) no exceptions. still get it. Here's the relevant code: CHARACTER CLASS class Hero(Character): def __init__(self, name: str, health: int) -> None: super().__init__(name=name, health=health) self.default_weapon = self.weapon self.health_bar = HealthBar(self, color="blue") HP CLASS def __init__(self, entity, length: int = 20, is_colored: bool = True, color: str = "") -> None: self.entity = entity self.length = length self.max_value = entity.health_max self.current_value = entity.health self.is_colored = is_colored self.color = self.colors.get(color) or self.colors["default"] I don't think any typos are causing this, if you have any idea i would appreciate it? Thanks for your time. EDIT: one very strange thing is that once hover over the color in "HealthBar(self, color="blue")" it says "(function) color: any", but the init in hp class says "(parameter) color: str". This is the only place this happens all other inits. are correctly taking paramaters and all calls are sending paramaters to the class constructor, is it possible there's some inbuilt color function that's colliding with my paramater

No problem buddy, hope we can figure this out. This issue is strange indeed. I copied the snippet you sent me to a fresh file and added minimal extra code to make it exectuable. When I hover over to the color argument of HealthBar in Hero, I get the right and expected hints. Please copy the following to a new file and try to run it with python in the console. If all is correct, you should see no messages on the screen. Give it a try. class HealthBar: colors: dict = {"red": "\033[91m", "purple": "\33[95m", "blue": "\33[34m", "blue2": "\33[36m", "blue3": "\33[96m", "green": "\033[92m", "green2": "\033[32m", "brown": "\33[33m", "yellow": "\33[93m", "grey": "\33[37m", "default": "\033[0m" } def __init__(self, entity, length: int = 20, is_colored: bool = True, color: str = "") -> None: self.entity = entity self.length = length self.max_value = entity.health_max self.current_value = entity.health self.is_colored = is_colored self.color = self.colors.get(color) or self.colors["default"] class Character: health_bar: HealthBar def __init__(self, name: str, health: int, ) -> None: self.name = name self.health = health self.health_max = health self.weapon = "" class Hero(Character): def __init__(self, name: str, health: int) -> None: super().__init__(name=name, health=health) self.default_weapon = self.weapon self.health_bar = HealthBar(self, color="blue") if __name__ == "__main__": char = Hero(name="dummy", health=10) assert char.health_bar

@@orkslayergamedev Done, it does work and show no error messages, only needed to add 2 more underscores to the if _name_ (i assume the youtube commets are deleting some underscores) As for this ""self.health_bar = HealthBar(self, color="blue")" hovering over color=blue now correctly shows "(parameter) color: str" and not function

Hi! I'd be happy to explain. Functions/methods have that functionality to return values to the user. The returned value can be anything. It can even be nothing, if we don't put the return statement into them. Take this for example: def sum_values(number_1, number_2): return number_1 + number_2 If you call this method, like: sum_values(5, 3) It will return the number 8 to you. Or you can create other kinds of methods that won't return anything like: def print_something(text): print(text) Another optional thing you can do with python is leavign type hints / annotations of parameters and returned values of functions/methods. The above functions with type hints: def sum_values(number_1: int, number_2: int) -> int: return number_1, number_2 def print_something(text: str) -> None: print(text) This way you're making it clear what to expect those values to be and your code editor can suggest you type-specific attributes/methods of that value. It's totally not necessary and your code will work just fine without them. Although I like to include them everywhere as it makes your code more clear, especially when you work on a bigger project. Hope this helps! :)

@@orkslayergamedevI figured you did it on purpose to have people type this themselves. I just didn’t want anyone to deal with typing the colors since they are a little clunky to type in and Visual Studio Code doesn’t auto complete. 😂

It's not free but it's almost like it reads your mind! I don't use it myself but it's popular amongst my colleagues :)

Take a look at the video at 10:20 again, as I hint an optional coding challenge for the viewers to implement a safety feature that prevents the hero from dropping the default weapon. You can give it a try or just use this solution: def drop(self) -> None: if self.weapon != self.default_weapon: print(f"{self.name} dropped the {self.weapon.name}!") self.weapon = self.default_weapon
