7 PM – Python Game Development

Today

• We went over the homework.
• We added a direction attribute to the player.
• We updated the direction based on which way the player moves.
• We flipped the image when the player is facing left, so the player is facing to the left when it’s direction is to the left.
• We randomized which birds are generated.

Homework

• Randomize which cloud image is loaded into the self.image attribute for the Cloud sprite, select randomly from “cloud1.png”, cloud2.png”, or “cloud3.png”. Use a similar technique to what we used for the Bird sprite.
• Flip the bird image that’s used when the bird direction is to the LEFT. You can use a similar technique we used for the Player sprite.
• Add a direction attribute to the fireball, and update the code where we create fireballs.
• Pass the direction attribute from the self.player_sprite.direction attribute to the fireball when we create the fireball.
• Move the fireball correctly based on the direction. Similar to how we move the other sprites based on the direction.
• Flip the fireball image when it’s facing to the left.
