The Player class

The object classes will all be kept in a single file called game_classes.py. Each class will be added to the bottom of the file and tested / demonstrated in the "if name == 'main':" block.

The Player object tracks the players location and inventory. It handles the players movements as well as what they are carrying.

The class diagram is:

Player class
row col items
do_move() get_inventory()

The Python code for the class is:

class Player():
    '''
    Class to define the Player object within the game.
    Attributes:
        row: int
        col: int
        items: list
    Methods:
        do_move()  # Used to change the players location.
        get_invnetory()  # Used to list the objects the player is carrying.
    '''
    def __init__(self, init_row, init_col):
        self.row = init_row
        self.col = init_col
        self.items = []

    def do_move(self, direction):
        if direction == 'north':
            self.row = self.row + 1
        if direction == 'south':
            self.row = self.row - 1
        if direction == 'east':
            self.col = self.col + 1
        if direction == 'west':
            self.col = self.col - 1

    def get_inventory(self):
        for item in self.items:
            print(f'You have a {item.name}.\n')
            
    def get_location(self):
        return [self.row, self.col]

For now, we will just test the movement function. The other functions have been tested in other objects.

if __name__ == '__main__':
    player = Player(1, 1)
    print(player.get_location())  # [1, 1]
    player.do_move('north')
    print(player.get_location())  # [2, 1]
    player.do_move('east')
    print(player.get_location())  # [2, 2]
    player.do_move('south')
    print(player.get_location())  # [1, 2]
    player.do_move('west')
    print(player.get_location())  # [1, 1]
