Pygame Level Design

Question

Hey. I'm trying to create my first game using the Pygame library for Python, and I was wondering what works best for level design in general. I'd love to hear what you guys think are good object-oriented design patterns for level management. Also, I'm pretty new to Python - thanks!

Answer 1

With this type of game, your cards are in terms of tiles (I assume that by level you mean an individual level, without controlling all your levels). Each tile has

• linked image (how it looks on the display)
• type (i.e. wall, ground, trap, etc.).

Pygame, Map, :

• the pygame.Surface ( blitting )
• (.. ), Tile ( , , , , )

- , ( - , Tile ( )), , , . , , , - , ( , - , - bleh). -, .

, :

• Tile
• Map

Answer 3

, - ( - ).

In principle, each Map is an array, with each element in the array being a square in the grid. For example, a 3 by 3 grid would look like this:

(Psuedocode)

var Map = [[1,2,3] [1,2,3] [1,2,3]];

Instead of numbers, you can put lines for a function to parse and draw or take actions, depending on what value the cell has.
