SUMMARY:3 PM - Adv Python Game Dev - Gamas
DESCRIPTION:Today We Did\n\nWe setup SAT-3PM-TOD project.\nWe created gitlab project and clone them and checkout individual branches.\nAdded background and Enemy class.\n\nHomework\n\nInside Enemy class\, resize the image according to the size parameter. figure out the size your self so it will fit the road in the background image. When you resize\, make sure the height is bigger than the width.\nDisplay the Enemy on the screen on the bottom side of the road.\nAnimate the enemy sprite so it will load from 2_enemies_1_RUN_000.png to 2_enemies_1_RUN_009.png. Use for loop in range to produce the right filename suffix and load all the images.

SUMMARY:1 PM - Python Game Development
DESCRIPTION:Today: \n\nWe went over the homework to add custom shooting tower images and collision detection logic between bullets and enemies\nWe added logic so different towers shoot their corresponding bullet images.\nWe added a coins indicator showing the number of coins left.\nWe added an indicator for each tower for purchase to show its cost\nWe added logic so as each tower is purchased it detects the number of coins available\n\nHomework: \n\nAdd logic so that each enemy that gets killed increases your “self.coins” attribute by the “self.coin_drop” in each enemy.  Define a new method called “self.handle_bullet_enemy_collision” and make sure it gets called from the “pygame.sprite.groupcollide” function to increase your number of coins.\nAdd a health indicator that shows the amount of health YOU have before losing the game.  This should be similar to the coins indicator\, you can call it “draw_health”.\nAdd a health indicator to each enemy that shows the amount of health left for each enemy given by the “self.health” attribute in each enemy.  This should follow the enemy along similar to how the price indicator follows the floating tower for purchase as you move it:

DESCRIPTION:Today: \n\nWe went over the homework to add a type to the enemy.\nWe added the tower hotspot sprite.\nWe added the ShootingTower sprite.\nWe went over how to create the shooting tower when the floating tower collides with the target.\n\nHomework: \n\nReview the “bullet.py” file in tank-game.\nCreate a new Sprite called “Bullet” that takes x\, y\, size\, direction\, screen as parameters. The direction is the angle in degrees similar to what we used for “Bullet” sprite in the tank game project.\nCreate a bullet_group attribute in main.py\, and test you can add some bullets to it and they appear on the landing page screen.  Test you can create a custom bullet anywhere on the screen.  Play around with the degrees parameter to confirm bullets get rotated and move in the direction specified.

SUMMARY:1 PM - Python Game Development
DESCRIPTION:Today: \n\nWe went over the homework and added the landing page and added the target pointer sprite\nWe added waves and a way to keep track of the current wave.\n\nHomework: \n\nUpdate “create_enemy” to add a timer.  You can define a ENEMY_CREATION_DELAY of 40 frames and a new attribute enemy_creation_timer that keeps track of when it’s possible to create a new enemy.  Create a new enemy when enemy_creation_timer is equal or less than zero and the current wave has enemy types in it.\nAdd animation to the Enemy sprite.  Get rid of the self.image attribute and create a new self.images attribute that uses all 9 images from “2_enemies_1_WALK_000.png” to “2_enemies_1_WALK_009.png”.  Use similar techniques that we used for animation previously to alternate sequentially between all the different images in self.images to determine which image gets drawn on the screen.

SUMMARY:1 PM - Python Game Development
DESCRIPTION:Today: \n\nWe went over the homework to add the enemy sprite.\nWe added the logic to move the enemy on the map.\n\nHomework: \n\nCreate a new sprite class called “TargetPointer” which has a single parameter the screen.  The target pointer should move to the location of the mouse.  Use the “assets/images/target.png” image for the target pointer.  Make sure the target pointer has a rect attribute for collision detection which we will use later.  You can use the code we use for the play button to determine the location of the mouse and where the target is drawn on the screen.\nAdd a game landing page and a play button.  Use “button_play.png” for the play button and “logo.png” for the landing page logo

SUMMARY:1 PM - Python Game Development
DESCRIPTION:Today: \n\nWe went over homework to add the game over page.\nWe went over how to reset the game after clicking the play button.\nWe added logic to modify the map so that the enemy tank finds a faster path through the map after destroying some bullets.\nWe used “copy.deepcopy” to make a copy of the MAP and store it in the self.map_copy attribute so that we can reset the MAP when clicking the play button again.\n\nHomework: \n\nAdd collision detection between the shield group and the enemy bullet group so the the shield protects the play from the enemy tank’s bullets.  The shield shouldn’t be destroyed when a bullet hits it\, but the bullet should be destroyed.\nAdd some logic so that the shield disappears after a certain number of frames\, maybe 10 seconds or 400 frames.  You can use the similar technique we used before for timers e.g. in launching_bullet.\nAdd some sounds effects when the player tank or enemy tank shoot a bullet.  Use the “assets/audio/TankFiring.wav” file.  You can use examples for previous projects how to load a sound and play it from a collided method/callback.

SUMMARY:7 PM - Python Game Development
DESCRIPTION:Today: \n\nWe went over the homework to add the coins indicator.\nWe added the start waves button.\nWe added code for handling enemy waves.\n\nHomework: \n\nAdd configs for three different enemy types: ENEMY_1\, ENEMY_2\, ENEMY_3.\nInside enemy.py sprite\, depending on the enemy_type\, load a different image corresponding to the name of the directory.\nMake sure that you can load different enemy types with the three series of image animation where the given type of enemy is walking.\nBonus: create a new method called “create_enemy_with_timer”. If the self.current_wave attribute has a length greater than three then create a new enemy.  Use the self.current_wave.pop() method to make the current wave smaller and look up the next enemy_type.  Delay the creating of enemies using the timer technique.  Don’t try to pop more enemy_types and create more enemies if self.current_wave is empty.

DESCRIPTION:Today: \n\nWe went over the homework to rotate the shield.\nWe added animation to the exploding brick.\nWe oriented the bullet so it’s facing the correct direction using the angle passed by the turret.\n\nHomework: \n\nModify the Brick sprite constructor to add an additional parameter type that has value either WALL_FLAG or BORDER_WALL_FLAG.  When WALL_FLAG is passed in the constructor\, use the current logic to load the red brick image\, but when BORDER_WALL_FLAG is passed load a  different image\, “IronWall.png”.  You can find this image here: Or at gitlab here.\nModify the create_map method so that when the cell_type is a BORDER_WALL_FLAG\, then create a Brick is passed with the type parameter BORDER_WALL_FLAG\, but when it’s wall type  is WALL_FLAG\, then the Brick is created with the type parameter WALL_FLAG.  Add the bricks created with the border wall flag to a separate sprite group so that they can’t be destroyed by the bullets.\nModify the MAP variable in config.py so that the top side\, bottom side\, and left and right sides of the map have the BORDER_WALL_FLAG value. Make sure that these get created on the screen using the create_map method:\nBonus: move the bullet in the correct direction based on the direction parameter that gets passed in from the turret.  Also center the bullet so that when it’s created\, the center of the bullet is equal to the center of the turret.

SUMMARY:1 PM - Python Game Development
DESCRIPTION:Today: \n\nWe went over the homework to add the shield on top of the tank.\nWe corrected the rotation of the turret.\n\nHomework: \n\nAdd a new attribute “self.degrees_rotated” to the shield\, and every update method/frame increase the degrees rotated by one.\nRotate the original image by the “self.degrees_rotated” value\, and draw this image on the screen.\nCenter the rotated shield on the center of the tank by positioning it with respect to the center of the shields target location using the same method we used to rotated the turret correctly.

SUMMARY:1 PM - Python Game Development
DESCRIPTION:Today \n\nWe went over the homework to add the turret sprite.\nWe created a MAP config inside the config.py file.\nWe made the MAP have the correct size\, 28 columns and 20 rows so it can “cover” the entire screen.\nAs always\, you can check out the code on my branch here.\n\nHomework \n\nCustomize your map to make it interesting.  You could create a maze pattern or whatever you want.\nAdd a Bullet sprite using the “Bullet.png” filename. Get a bullet to appear on the screen by creating a Bullet sprite.  The bullet should move to the right\, you can reference what we did in the Birdie game\, it’s similar to the fireball.\nWhen use presses the mouse button\, shoot a bullet by creating a new bullet and adding it to the bullet group.\nMake the bullet get created from the position of the tank.
