groceryrun's Issues

Loop music

This is probably useful. Restart music on each life?

Advanced enemies

• Sorta-random enemy movement that staggers toward the player. Example.
• Line of sight is cool. Example.
• Enemies can sneeze at you. Example.

Remove cloned left/right animations

arcade.load_texture_pair solves this for me.

Understand PyMunk in Arcade

First, understand how Arcade's batteries included PyMunk support works. Think about how I want to implement hitboxes. Read the Overview, especially the section on Object Tunneling.

Abstract basic platformer enemies

Think about the functionality I want them to have. I don't think I should randomly place them via some algorithm. Instead, let me just zoom out the map and place them in where I want to. So I should be able to choose x, y levels, maybe boundaries if I don't let them move freely, speed and character image.

Pause screen is cell phone with tasks

At the start of each level, there should be a buzz sound and a phone should pop up with a text from Mom which tells the player which items to get. This can also be our pause screen with additional options like Leave Game.

Plan and build levels

I really want to think this through and come up with more game mechanics.

• Do Tiled Map Editor tutorials.
• Think of more game mechanics. For example, I want to implement trampolines which make you jump higher. I also want to add interactive platforms, like grabbing a cart or crate.
• Make each level have multiple rooms. Example.
• Maybe a buildup to the final boss battle.

Plan and put notes in the wiki.

Create pause screen

Example. Have options to turn music and sound effects off.

Fullscreen support and viewport cleanup

Understand how I can support full screen and window resizing a certain ratio. Don't have to accommodate all ratios. Here's a tutorial. Yeah, just accommodate two sizes: initial size and fullscreen. Technically this allows any ratio but it means I can get away without worrying about text wrapping or image layout. I can figure out custom resizing later.

Also, allow for vertical scrolling. Clean up viewport management.
