7 PM – Advanced Python Game Development

Today:

• We went over the homework to add the bullet.
• We went over the problem with centering the turret.
• We fixed the problem centering the turret by drawing it with respect to the center of the image.

Homework

• Add collision detection between the bullet and the bricks:
  • Add self.rect attributes to both the bullet and the bricks.
  • Use pygame.sprite.groupcollide to detect when bullets and sprites collide.
  • When they collide both the bullet and the bricks disappear
• Add animation so that when the brick is destroyed, it explodes into fragments.
  • Load all the Brick fragment frames from “Bricks/Bricks_0x.png”.
  • Use get_next_image technique to animation the destruction of the brick.
  • When the animation gets to the final frame call “self.kill” so the animation doesn’t repeat.
