SUMMARY:FRI - 7 PM - Python Game Development - Gamas
DESCRIPTION:Today We Did\n\nWe continued with Flappy Bird. We started creating Credit Page.\n\nHomework\n\nContinue on your personal python game project according to your project planning.\nContinue on your Flappy Bird project. My latest code can be found in here just in case if you did not have a chance to copy the code: https://gitlab.com/gsugiart/flappy_bird/-/tree/Fri_7PM_Latisha .\nAdd code inside main.py\, specifically inside display_play_credit_button() method to make the “CREDIT” button clickable. After you click the CREDIT button set the game mode to GAME_CREDIT.\nEarlier in the class\, I made a mistake where in the game_loop()\, I did not call self.game_credit_page() properly.\n\n\nelif self.mode == GAME_CREDIT:\n    self.game_credit_page()\n\n\n\nIn the Game Credit page\, you should display the following information

SUMMARY:5 PM - Python Game Development - Gamas
DESCRIPTION:Homework\n\nMake sure the bug can appear from left or right side of the screen. This is very similar to the Bird sprite in the dragon-birdie project.\nIf you have not done it\, kill the bug when it is off the screen. Also do the same thing for balloon sprites.\nWhen we pop the bug\, right now\, the bad balloon also gets destroy. We have to change the code\, so we avoid destroying bad balloons.

SUMMARY:4 PM - Python Game Development
DESCRIPTION:Today: \n\nWe went over the homework.\nWe added animation to the birds.\nWe added a delay to slow down the flapping of wings for the birds.\nNote: I pushed the code to this branch: https://gitlab.com/gsugiart/dragon_birdie/-/blob/SAT_4PM_Chester\n\nHomework: \n\nCreate a new sprite file “player.py” and sprite “Player” to represent the dragon-birdie player which the user will control.  This should appear on the screen using the “assets/player-1.png” image.  Make sure to resize so it appears about the same size as a bird.\nAdd logic so the player will flap its wings.  You can use a similar technique we used for “bird.py”.  In this case there will be 4 different images “player-1.png” through “”player-4.png”.

SUMMARY:4 PM - Python Game Development - Latisha
DESCRIPTION:Gamas subs \nToday We Did\n\nWe continued with Birdie Dragon project.\nWe learned how to make the bird appear from both the left and right edges of the screen.\nWe learned about Pygame directions: Left\, Right\, Up\, Down are 180\, 0\, 90\, and 270.\nWe learned how to flip images horizontally. We use this when Bird appears from the right side of the screen going to the left.\nWe created config.py to store all of the constants.\n\nHomework\n\nMake the clouds appear from left and right side of the screen. Similar on how we did for Birds. Also\, make the clouds less frequent to be created.\nInside the main.py there are nowself.create_bird_timer = 60 and self.create_cloud_timer = 70 please moved 60 to config.py and name it CREATE_BIRD_DELAY. Same thing for the 70 and name it CREATE_CLOUD_TIMER.\nWhen the cloud appears from the left side of the screen\, it suddenly just pops on the screen. Change the code so the cloud can glide from off the screen into the screen.

SUMMARY:7 PM - Python Game Development
DESCRIPTION:Today: \n\nWent over the homework to add animation and finish the enemy map navigation.\nWe added the tower.\nWe added the health indicator.\n\nHomework: \n\nCreate a new sprite class called Bullet.  Use the the image “assets/images/red_projectile2.png”. for the bullet’s self.image attribute.\nAdd a method to create bullet inside main.py called launch_bullet\, that every 120 frames launches a new bullet.  Make it so that your tower will create one bullet moving to the right about every 3 seconds.\nBonus: first add a direction parameter to your Bullet class to face and move it the correct direction provided which is measured in degrees.  Then inside the tower\, create 4 bullet every 3 seconds\, but make it so the bullets face different directions and move different directions\, as in the example below. A bullet should be created with each of these directions: 45\, 135\, 225\, and 315.

DESCRIPTION:Today: \n\nWe went over the homework to add the game over page and tank destroyed sound effects.\nWe enabled the enemy tank to move.\nWe delayed switching the game mode to game won when the enemy tank is destroyed.\n\nHomework: \n\nAdd a new sprite called TankExplosion that gets created when either the enemy tank is destroyed or the play tank is destroyed. Make sure to create the explosion where the tank that was destroyed was located.  The TankExplosion sprite should show a series of frames starting with “assets/Tank_Explosion/Tank_Explosion_0.png”\, and when you reach the last frame\, destroyed the sprite using “self.kill()”.\nDelay switching the game mode to game over when the player tank is destroyed\, using the same technique that we used in class.

SUMMARY:7 PM - Python Game Development
DESCRIPTION:Today: \n\nWe went over the homework.\nWe reviewed the game loop again.\nWe added the score attribute.\nWe fixed the bug preventing player from being recreated on the screen.\nI’ve uploaded the source code here.\n\nHomework: \n\nCreate a https://gitlab.com/ account. Make sure you *don’t* sign in with Google\, Twitter\, or any other existing account. Instead create a new account so that you’ll have a password associated with gitlab\, that we can integrate with PyCharm.

SUMMARY:7 PM - Python Game Development
DESCRIPTION:Today \n\nWe went over the homework.\nWe added the different game modes.\nWe added the landing page.\nWe added logic to switch from the landing page to game in session when clicking the play button.\nWe switched from the game in session back to the landing page when the player dies.\nI’ve uploaded the source code here.\n\nHomework: \n\nCreate a massive fireball when the player pressed the space “g” key.  The massive fireball shouldn’t be destroyed when it collides with the birds.  You don’t need to create a new sprite to handle the massive fireball.\nOn the landing page\, create birds and clouds to make the landing page more interesting.

SUMMARY:1 PM – Python Game Development
DESCRIPTION:Today: \n\nWe went over the homework to add Brick sprite and move the tank.\nWe made it so the tank can only move one direction at a time.\nWe rotated the turret to face the correct direction.\n\nHomework: \n\nCreate a new sprite for the turret using the image “assets/Player_2/Type_1/PlayerTank_2_1_Turret_0.png”.\nAdd the self.turret sprite as an attribute of the Tank class in the __init__ method.  When calling the update method for the Tank class\, also call the self.turret.update()\nUpdate the location of the Turret sprite to keep it in sync with the location of the  Tank sprite.

SUMMARY:7 PM - Python Game Development
DESCRIPTION:Today: \n\nWe went over the homework\nWe reviewed why we need to use copy.deepcopy.\nWe modified the self.map_copy attribute as the bricks get destroyed.\n\nHomework \n\nAdd a type parameter to the Brick constructor. When the type is WALL_FLAG\, then load the normal brick self.image attribute\, but if the type is BORDER_WALL_FLAG\, then use the IronWall.png for the self.image attribute.\nModify the map to show the iron wall/brick around the edge of the map.

SUMMARY:7 PM - Python Game Development
DESCRIPTION:Today \n\nWe went over the home fix the cloud position offset.\nWe added the hitbox/rect attribute for the bird and fireball sprites.\nWe added collision detection between the birds and sprites.\nWe also added a cooldown delay to slow down the creation of fireballs when the player presses the “f” key.\nI’ve uploaded the source code here.\n\nHomework \n\nAdd a “self.rect” attribute inside the player class\, using the width and height of the first image. Visualize the hitbox by drawing it on the screen using the same technique we used for the bird and fireball.\nAdd collision detection between the bird and the player.  When the player is hit by any bird\, then the player should disappear.

SUMMARY:7 PM - Advanced Python Game Development
DESCRIPTION:Today We Do\n\nWe reviewed inheritance where with inheritance\, we can avoid duplicating codes.\nWe went over the homework on how to properly override Turret.load_image(self) and Turret.get_turret_angle(self) inside EnemyTurret.\nWe extracted codes inside PlayerTank.update() which handles tank movement into its own method “tank_movement_control”. This way we can override this method in EnemyTank.tank_movement_control to make the enemy tank move independently.\n\nHomework\n\nMake the enemy tank not able to go through the wall. Look at how we did it for Player Tank.\nPlayerTank.load_images(self) is overriden inside EnemyTank.load_images(self). But there are too many codes being duplicated. Extract the code inside PlayerTank.load_images(self) which will get the image path into its own method. And then override this method inside EnemyTank.
