May We All Have a Valentine...

Things that have changed since the last post:

• Migrating to double the resolution for objects and ents (note face and gun)
• Implemented basic map traversal functionality
• Added 30+ real-world weapons (will increase substantially)
• Started implementation of entity attributes, skills and stats
• Some basic animations added
• Console improved and code cleaned-up (slightly)
• Began implementation of mini-gui (test-phase)

The code can be downloaded here. Note: you must have python, pygame, and Opioid2D to use this.

Run main.py to start. The keys are as follows by state:

NormMode:

• W,A,S,D - move/face the current map obj
• Numpad 1-9 - move camera
• Numpad 5 - center camera on current obj
• Mouse Buttons - set to test some actions
• F1 - Toggle ConsoleMode
• 1-8 - different weapons by category
  

ConsoleMode:

• most regular keys - write to console
• Enter - activate console command
• Enter (blank) - last console command
• tab - clear console text
• Numpad 1-9 - move camera
• Numpad 5 - center camera on current obj
• mousewheel - scale camera

Escape exits the program at all times. The console executes from the scene's scope and 'ent' is a shortcut to the map.obj, 'map', and 'cam' for the camera.

The talking functionality has a few interesting features. Try 'ent.talk_string('your own text') and the mouth of the ent will open for each vowel in a word, with pauses in between. Eventually I'd like to combine this with speech for basic communication.


Also, weapons have been added, although they are simple, non-animated, and based on photographs.


















In an ent's hands, they don't look so bad, especially considering how 'detailed' the ent is.
