dealien/survivor

A top-down open-world survival game written in Python.

survivor's Issues

Travis CI integration

Save/load settings from config file

Make camera never scroll off the map

Add objects to collision check

Separate volume setting for music and sound effects

Add sound effects for walking on different surfaces

• step15.wav for walking on grass

Mute for music/audio

Animals/NPCs

Trees, rocks, etc.

Make all sounds live in a main "sound" object

Make all the sounds live in a main sound object (like how all the images live in textures[]) instead of being separate properties of the main Game() object. This should be created in settings.py alongside textures[].

Performance testing and enhancement

Debug overlay: show info about tiles/objects under cursor

Show information about the tile/object under the cursor in the debug overlay. Use the get_debug_info_at_pos() function in game.py.

Debug overlay: FPS

Settings menu

Create a settings menu that can be accessed by pressing Esc with controls for volume, window dimensions, etc.

Stationary rotation

Allow the player to be rotated without changing position by wpressing a movement key while holding shift. This will allow for more precise control for interacting with objects, especially in close quarters.

Placing/removing blocks

Alllow the player to place/remove blocks and items using player.interact() or a similar function.

Consider using pygame's sprite module

Apparently the sprite module is a better way of handling and rendering in-game objects, but I believe it will require considerable time and effort to implement into this project. More research is required to fully understand the exact nature of this change and the effects on this project as a result.

Better volume control

• Move volume setting to settings object
• Add a mute setting (5872e6b)

Better sound control

Change Game.play_sound() to use key from settings.SOUNDS instead of path.

Add controls to README.md

Toggle debug overlay when pressing backslash

User interface

In-game cursor

This is unnecessary until #24 is completed.

• Create cursor graphic
• Write cursor code

Allow rock objects on stone terrain

Animated textures

Certain textures, like water, need to be animated. Pygame does not support GIFs natively, but I found a library called GIFImage that I believe adds the functionality I need.

I've uploaded a copy of the library file in case the original goes down in the meantime.

• Create animated texture graphics
• Implement animated textures

Better debug overlay code structure

Make the debug overlay code part of a loop or something. Anything is better than the mess it currently is.

Move all settings to Settings object

All non-constant settings should be stored in the main Game object. settings.py should define a new Settings class as the framework for that object.

Manual settings reset

Create a function to manually reset the settings and use it in load_config()if the settings file fails to load. This is in preparation for the creation of a proper settings menu per #26.
