Door

class gamelib.Structures.Door(**kwargs)

A Door is a GenericStructure that is not pickable, overlappable and restorable. It has a value of 0 and a size of 1 by default. It is an helper class that allows to focus on game design and mechanics instead of small building blocks.

Parameters:
  • model (str) – The model that will represent the door on the map
  • value (int) – The value of the door, it is useless in that case. The default value is 0.
  • size (str) – The size of the door. Unless you make the door pickable (I have no idea why you would do that…), this parameter is not used.
  • type (str) – The type of the door. It is often used as a type identifier for your game main loop. For example: unlocked_door or locked_door.
  • pickable (Boolean) – Is this door pickable by the player? Default value is False.
  • overlappable (Boolean) – Is this door overlappable by the player? Default value is True.
  • restorable (Boolean) – Is this door restorable after being overlapped? Default value is True.

Note

All the options from GenericStructure are also available to this constructor.

Example:

door1 = Door(model=Sprites.DOOR,type='locked_door')
__init__(**kwargs)
