Final Project Near Completion
Our final project has reached completion. Everything works, the only thing left to do is to play the game for hours on end and try to produce errors, as well as catch spelling mistakes and proper spacing. Since the last post, a great deal of thought went into considering the fighting style of the game. We ended up implementing a Pokémon style, where you take turns with the zombie hitting each other. The player has a plethora of weapons that are obtained thought their navigation of the game. Ammo will be limited and an infinite use knife will be provided at the beginning of the game. The fights also have random components like weapon accuracy and chance of running into a zombie.
It is also worth mentioning the save and load game functions. They both extensively used python’s pickle module. It is used for object serialization. It can dump and load variables to/from files. To see more about this module, you can check it out here.
In all, this project has extensively used python’s dictionaries to store all the needed data. Even our list of available actions is stored in a dictionary. Needless to say, this project has given me greater insight into dictionaries, even more so than Homework 4 did, which dealt with maintaining an inventory of parts.
