You know you've been programming too much when.... you ask someone what they call their hashmaps and you can then tell what the programming language is.
My first idea was to have a nested structure for choices, like this: {"start": [someFunction, {"choice1": [someFunction, ...]}, {"choice2", [someFunction, ...]}, ...]} Where someFunction is a function executed when the choice is picked, and additional choices are placed where the ... are.
My only concern is that that method is can be really complicated.
Ahm, well, Python has a recursion limit, but it can be a viable option.
What's your idea?
Well, the current idea seems viable, but who wants to type out a structure like this:
What about if you need to go to one room to get a key, and then go back to another room that you've been to before to unlock a door that you need to go through?
I love making people re-think their design choices :)
Actually, I'm coming up with another idea rn. It'd use a 2d list to store data, and the player would move using cardinal directions, e.g, north, south, etc.
Okay, here's what I've implemented for a map room:
class MapPosition(object):
"""
This class stores relevant data about the
position on a map, e.g, is_accessible, or
required_key.
"""
def __init__(self, desc, is_accessible=True, required_key=None, function=None):
self.desc = desc
self.is_accessible = is_accessible
self.required_key = required_key
self.function = function
Yes
for example:
def run_func(func):
func()
def f():
print "a"
run_func(f)
Hmm, seems promising.
Anyways, I'll be back in 5-10m, friend just called me.
Hmm... concept still not making sense 100% (as far as how you would implement this)
Unless it was just like a function for the main control loop and some events like a keypress or banging on the keyboard randomly
Game idea: UNIX based console game. You can type any command in it: the goal is to not break the computer. The person who can type the most unique commands wins.
