🎲 Some statements I believe:

• Reusing old hardware > buying the latest and greatest.
• A good mentor can learn from mentees.
• Humans will still write code in the year 2077.

epikrawler's Issues

Start Frontend Structure

• Window class
• Character class
• Item class

Restructure repo

src and assets

Try Different import structure

Reference files from __file__ like here (sys.path.append(path.abspath(path.join(path.dirname(__file__), "..")))).

Currently, running epikrawler.py from a different directory from which epikrawler.py is located causes import issues, since imports are referenced from an absolute path relative to the caller here.

Configure CI

Travis

Start unit test suite structure

Start Backend Structure

• Make Character class
• Make Item classes

Implement Player Movement

• Velocity / acceleration
• Collision

Remove `import *` imports

This pollutes the namespace very quickly and honestly, I didn't really know what I was doing when I did this.

Initial Sprite Implementation

• Include separate artwork folder (to be .gitignore-ed)
• Player sprite(s)
• NPC sprite(s)
• Record direction (check http://www.pymunk.org/en/latest/pymunk.vec2d.html and https://www.reddit.com/r/pygame/comments/9loq55/how_to_check_the_direction_my_sprite_is_pointing/ and https://cmlsc.itch.io/whirling-blades)

Future Todo

• Save files
• Use virtual environment
• Crazy mode
• Create unit test suite
• Continuous integration
• Menu Screen
• Quit Screen
• 3D Mode?

Implement Player-Item Interactions

• Pick up
• Drop
• Attack
• Take Damage

Implement initial movement

Be able to translate some representation of a character in all directions

• Don't move off the screen
• Both WASD and arrow keys
• Ready for backend modifications and/or additions

Start Config file

• Frame rate
• Difficulty level
• Screen width and height
• Level

Remove unused code paths

There are a bunch of unnecessary main() functions scattered around for playing around. These shouldn't make it to devlop branch

Make window size based on actual monitor resolution

Draw Initial Map

L.A. Noire themed?

Add main module

To test cross-functionality with frontend and backend, and run all code

Draw Initial Sprites

• 1 Character
• 3 Weapons
• 1 Potion

Poetry setup

We really should be using Poetry. This project has had issues in the past with dependency management, and Poetry should resolve this.
