matjsz / jarparur Goto Github PK

I've made some changes on the Game Engine logics, now every feature that was part from the gameEngine.py has become its own class/module on the project.

[+] gameEngine.py: Inventory.showInventory() => inventorySystem.py: Inventory.showInventory()

[+] gameEngine.py: Native.updateScreen() => mapHandler.py: MapHandler.UI().update(args)

[+] dataStock.py: DataStock.seeAllData() -> now every data from the data files (json) in the game save can be seen with one command (still in development)

[+] module.py -> new module system: now scripts can be converted into features of the game, makes easy for me to integrate functionality to the game, such as the map handler which creates a new screen based on a set of data, stores the screen state and updates this screen if needed.

[*] main.py => jarparur.py

[*] gameEngine.py: start() -> that's all now, no more polluted code!

That's it, a lot of work done here, hello again Jarparur!

Ok, this update is HUGE! It's not just a system, but three!

Let's start from the beginning, where i was on the happy start from the last 12 hours i passed trying to solve and connect a bunch of features.
Alright, the first thing i did after the last update was to move freely across the proto world of Jarparur as if it was the most happy thing that happened to me, well, it felt pretty empty so i realized i could add some folks. Yea, that's what i did actually.

[+] characterCreator => createNpcs() -> The first HUGE addition: NPC Generator and NPC Manager, two extremely important parts of this thing that i refer as a Game Engine, the NPC Generator do as its name, generates new dudes that spawn at different location according to its race and class, for example, an orc can only spawn at "Deserto dos Ossos" because it's the orcish country in Jarparur's lore, so it makes sense, and so on. The NPC Manager also does as its name (what a surprise, a good name for a good function wow) this piece of the engine here can tell me where a folk is, what is his or her name (oh, i almost forgot to tell, i added a genre attribute, which influences the name of the creature), how is the folk feeling, an so on. This is just the first.

[+] Global Time => Oh yeah, finally the world can spin around its axis. Day an night doesn't really exist yet, this thing that i called global time is just a really REALLY big integer that is interpreted as seconds and is formatted to a readable string, the fact that it's just a huge integer makes possible for me to easily manipulate it, just by adding some seconds to the global time because the player has moved to another place or to add some days because the player has moved to another country, also, it helps with World Events (shhhhh nobody knows about this yet!), that's it. Time.

[+] Special Event Screens => Finally you can drop into Sul or Deserto dos Ossos and see its description and languages, or see the secret description of somebody's house, who knows, also, you can enter at hacker mode if you can find the special command to enter at items console manager (trust me, it isn't 'items'), or enter at the NPC manager to see with mAGiC where somebody is or how is somebody feeling. Don't know, just use it.

[*] characterCreator => solved some save bugs

[*] inventorySystem => loop bugs, solved with boolean magic

[*] prologue => here comes the CREATE A WORLD

[*] worldData => got rid of "day", "month" and "year", now we have "globalTime", much better!

Jokes aside, that was a pretty good experience, this game as it self is starting to feel very special for me, i'm learning a lot, that's what matters. See you (who reads this horrible text for no specific reason) next time.

So, the last update finally fixed the major dirty code that i've left behind, but it still had some details, and still have.

[+] EventManager => Now it's possible to create events, this fixed the junky that was gameEngine.py aka GameWorld (i'll change it later), so terminalEvents now are constructors/objects inside the gameHandler (old mapHandler) that interacts with the terminalEvent from gameEngine and can ignite the new map system!

[+] Map System (YAY!) => This is one of the major additions to the next public release and will change the whole game, actually, it did changed a lot. The new map system runs based on the gameHandler's MapHandler class with the most-important MapHandler.UI() constructor, that generates a new screen and stores information to the next session (yes, you can close your cmd, open again and you will still be on the same place as you were in the last session.

[*] Character Creation System changes => Did some changes to this system, actually not that major like map system, but still important: a fix to the json indent that was very ugly and now is readable and also a new playerData.json object -> playerWorld, that makes possible to the map system find your location on the map.

[*] UI Changes at the load screen => Fixed the load screen's appearance, you don't have to write the save file name to load it anymore, now you can just type the number at the left of the file and that's it, much more easier.

Well, that was pretty hard, the map system made me think the whole day, but it's finally here! Now Jarparur really is Jarparur.

This Build is the most important because it's gonna be the last one. Yes, finally i will launch it.

This final version of the first big update of Jarparur had some changes too:

[+] Levelling System (gameHandler.py) => This one right here can make you go from a completely novice to a freaking awesome master (yeah, titles!) and also, you have upgrade points which you can spend in attributes.

[+] Full organized workspace => I finally organized the mess that i've made in the last 4 days of development, is was pretty ugly and i'm sorry for that... BUT NOW IT'S BEAUTIFUL!

[*] Did some fixes to make the game look beautiful for its first real huge release :)

That's it. Gonna release now. GONNA RELEASE NOW! FINALLY!
