A remake of the GBC-Game "Wario Land 3" using Pygame for Python

wario-land-3's Issues

Create Spearhead-GameActor

OS Independent Paths

Using "" in paths doesn't work on linux. Instead use os module to allow the game to work on both windows and linux.
e.g.
import os
os.path.join("images","image.png")

• Components/SpearheadComponents.py
• Components/WarioComponents.py
• Graphics.py

Don't know how to jump

Need to add controls to Readme

Images missing

Some images like ANI_Wario_turn_r.png are still missing.

Make it possible to empty World subengine to load new levels

New levels should be loaded! Only a tiny step away: Delete and re-initialize World.

EngineWrapper declared in a way that needs much correction if it suddenly changes

Currently, EngineWrapper is inside the GameActor module, and gets initialized anew with every game actor. The problem is that, if the wrapper gains a new member, every GameActor has to be changed. That shouldn't have to be the case.

Make Wario move 1.5 pixels per second

It is possible to achieve, there's a method, it just needs some time and energy to figure out.

Make Wario turn when he changes direction, like in the original

Sprites not showing

The sprites are showing up purple and the console is showing "libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile"

By the way I'm on Mac

Port everything to python 3

Python 3 is the future!

I'm interested in your project

Hey I was wondering if you could help me out with something. I'm trying to get sound to play without the game crashing. Can you help with that? I also have questions about making a simple scoreboard for the game as well. Hopefully I hear from you soon :D

Pass engine-object to initialization-method of components

It worked to pass it to the update()-method until now, but when it comes to sound, it must be aviable to the __init__()-method. Also, to be honest, it feels kinda funny to pass it every time an update()-method is called.

Improve Animation-Class

The animation-class is still very limited. It would be great to be able to control the order of sprites much more.

One improvement would be to separate the information about the order of the sprites from the actual surfaces. One argument could be the list of all the surfaces, and another one the order in which these surfaces should appear - which could be much longer than the amount of surfaces given. To combine it with the length of the single sprites, a list could look like this:

[(frame_nr_1, frame_1_length), (frame_nr_2, frame_2_length) ...]

An animation that plays its surfaces in order 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 2, 1, 3 with each frame being showed 100 frames would then look like this:

Animation(self, [surface_1, surface_2, surface_3], [(0, 100), (1, 100), (0, 100), (2, 100)])

Unify GameActor and Tile

It well be needed sooner or later, when Tiles become more complex...

Make the states of Wario visible again

I don't know how to do this, but it's necessary. Right now, only the number of the var gets shown.

Move Warios special-attack-states out to separate comonents

It would make it...

• Easier to manage those states
• Easier to add and delete those, so skills can be learned

A major clean-up is becoming necessary

Things to do:

• Correct typos
• Sort methods
• Delete unused functions
• Complete documentation
• Correct documentation
• Improve comments
• Rename methods, variables and classes to more sense

Sometimes, Wario can't jump higher than ~1-3 Pixels

Seems like the counter of the JUMP-state doesn't reset and Wario immediately goes over to the FALL-state...

Separate the engine-part of game_actor

It doesn't really make sense to call game_actor.world to affect something engine-wide and game_actor.rect to affect something of the individual GameActor. Much better would be to get an argument engine and one game_actor. Maybe for that purpose, a static variable called "engine" should be added to GameActors - best would be a dummy-class that contains the engine-things.

Create a GameActor controller

So far, any GameActor is able to access graphics, sound, user-input and world data - but a really important part is to ensure communication between gameactors. This is why the Engine-class needs a new class-instance, the GameActorController (or similar), who handles tasks like these:

• Most importantly, has and offers acces to all GameActors active in the current level
• Offers methods to check for collision between GameActors
• Offers methods to send messages to other GameActors
• Offers methods to kill GameActors
• Offers methods to spawn GameActors

Following these functions, the GameActor BC needs a new method called receive_message(, and all components one that is called receive_stranger_message( or similar.

Create sound-superclass for sound implementation in the future

There's no programming done regarding playing sound. In it's current state, the game needs no sound, but if sound should be needed later down the road, it's better if a dummy-sound-engine is already implemented now.

A draft of how it could work:

class Sound:
    def load_sound(self, filename): # Load sound in advance
    def play_sound(self, filename): # Play sound if already loaded, otherwise load it before
    def stop_sound(self, filename):
    def load_music(self, filename): # Same applies here
    def play_music(self, filename):
    def stop_music(self, filename):
    def queue_music(self, filename):

It then gets passed the same way as Input, World or Graphics. Maybe sounds should even be bound to game-actors, so they can stop sounds they are currently playing... but that's something that can be decided in the future, and be added as a non-standard argument. (e.g. id = id(self))

Change Warios states to variables declared in "locals.py" in the components-package

It's still just strings, which needs unnececary memory and is also unsafe for bug-prevention.

Wait 1-2 ms before running forwards at fist-attack

The original also has this delay in order to be able to fist and jump at the same time.

Make Wario only jump once per A-Button-push

Use better tileset

The one I got from the internet is much better...

Improve storage of Tile-order in World-class

Maybe it would be good to store the Tile-instances in the World class sorted by material_group in a dictionary instead of in a raw list, since

• dicts are much faster to acces
• collision-detection of game-actors often needs a list of tiles based on their material-group

Maybe the Tile-instances should even contain the information about their position (or even a complete rect) and only share the surface-data?

Warios jump-bug - jump to infinity and beyond!

If the right and the left key to move Wario get presst alternately, sometimes, Wario is able to jump much higher than he should. If the right frequency is found, he's even able to jump infinitely high.

Rewrite Warios look-component so it works with the states

It's still looking for collision and movement! That should be changed.

Animation-class shows first frame regardless of order-list

Regardless of what's defined as the first frame in the order list, the first sprite gets shown first.

Add camera-function and special effects to graphics-subengine

So things like tracking Wario, camerashake or fadeout can be achieved!

Improve Warios jump-mechanism so it resembles more the one of the original

Wario currently jumps to high and to slow compared to the orignal. The bug #6 probably has to be fixed first dough.

Implement the "sleep" animation of Wario

I'm not sure how to implement this jet. Probably add two new Wario-states "goto-sleep" and "wake-up" on which the animation of going to sleep and waking up will be played. When these states go over to "sleep" or "stand-stay" could be controlled by the Look-Component so these states take exactly as long as the animation.

Create "ResourcePaths.py"-module to store paths to resource-files

It would probably be a good idea to store the paths to source-files centralized in a seperate module, so it's easy to move the images around while the project grows...
Example:

# Images:
IMG_ANI_walk_r = "images\\ANI_walk_r.png"
# Sound:
SND_shoot_fireball = "sound\\tmp\\shoot_sound.wav"

Make Warios-fist-attack, destroy broken stones

For that, #3 probably has to be completed first, since there are now multiple Tile-types.

Wario moves in wrong direction

If you press down LEFT and then down RIGHT and then release RIGHT, Wario will keep walking to the right.
