Today, I created a function that would check if either the enemy, or player was dead. I was planning to move this somewhere, but for now, I’m working on the block moveset. One problem I experienced while working on it is that the enemy blocking the attack would experience more damage than not blocking the attack. This should be relatively easy to fix, but not without thinking. Other than that, coding the game is getting easier than it was when I started. After I fix the issue, I can move on to either completing the other moveset, moving the code to the gui, or fixing other issues in the code.

Today, I made classes that inherit the same properties as the Base Player class. This was done to make things simpler. Using inheritance in my code will help me a lot with my game.

I also worked more on the moves as well. Defined it a bit more. It’s slow, but we’re getting somewhere.

I was just screwing around with different variations on how to code the attack. One issue I found was trying to separate the attack powers. I plan to get to this issue the next time I have time to do it.

Overall, this day wasn’t as productive as I wanted it to be, and the words of the last post should be upheld from now on. If there’s anybody upholding this standard of being more productive for me, it’s me alone.

To Wilmoth,

When this was posted, I already started working on missing work I had in English. I promise that next time, this kind of situation won’t happen again.

Even though the attack and block code isn’t finished, I added the other moves in the move set the player will have. If I were to critique myself, I would say that progress is real slow for this project. Any other programmer would’ve been able to complete the moves and their functions in a day, or 2. Other than that, I do see this project done before this school year ends. However, I’m not sure when in the school year it will be finished. My approximate guess of when the base game will be finished is between April 20th to April 30th. Then I’ll have May to decorate, or fix any bugs in the game. In short, I need to use my time better.

Remember the last Tkinter game post where I said the game would run ONLY on Tkinter? I lied. I decided to use Pygame for it. Why? To add sounds to the game.

The code makes sure that whenever I click the ” Basic Attack ” button, a sound will play. The ability to play sound once a button is clicked isn’t really installed on Tkinter, so I imported Pygame to do that. Then, I downloaded an audio file of my choosing from a website. FYI, this website is safe, and I have experienced 0 viruses or errors surfing this site.

If there’s a lesson to learn from this code adventure, then it would something along the lines of ” Sometimes, you gotta break a few rules. “
