March 11th Blog Post: Mario Maker type game

Created a main, settings, and editor file.

main.py

import pygame
from settings import *

from editor import Editor

class Main:
	def __init__(self):
		pygame.init()
		self.display_surface = pygame.display.set_mode((WINDOW_WIDTH, WINDOW_HEIGHT))
		self.clock = pygame.time.Clock()

		self.editor = Editor()

	def run(self):
		while True:
			dt = self.clock.tick() / 1000
			
			self.editor.run(dt)
			pygame.display.update()


if __name__ == '__main__':
	main = Main()
	main.run() 

The code that runs the whole program. Is tied to settings.py and editor.py.

settings.py

TILE_SIZE = 64
WINDOW_WIDTH = 1280
WINDOW_HEIGHT = 720
ANIMATION_SPEED = 8

A HUGE amount of code that contains all the images and info for the program…

editor.py

import pygame, sys 
from settings import *
from pygame.math import Vector2 as vector
from pygame.mouse import get_pressed as mouse_buttons

class Editor:
    def __init__(self):

        # main setup 
        self.display_surface = pygame.display.get_surface()
        
        # navigation
        self.origin = vector()
        self.pan_active = False
        
    def event_loop(self):
        
        for event in pygame.event.get():
            if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
                pygame.quit()
                sys.exit()
            self.pan_input(event)		

    def pan_input(self, event):
        '''checks if middle button is pressed'''
        if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN and mouse_buttons()[1]:
            self.pan_active = True
            print('middle mouse button')
    
    def run(self, dt):
        self.display_surface.fill('white')
        self.event_loop()
        pygame.draw.circle(self.display_surface, 'blue', self.origin, 10)

Has all the info to edit the program. Will get HUGE from adding more stuff to it.

There’s not a lot to it because I kept putting my files in the wrong folders (I did it THREE TIMES and was STRESSING where they were) and didn’t want to redo the excessive work I put in… (when I have more energy I swear I’ll add more).
