The World 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 World class is actually very simple and only creates a 2D list into which the location objects will be placed.

The class diagram is:

World class
grid
add_location()

And the Python code is:

class World:
    '''
    Class to define the World within the game.
    This class is exceedingly simple having only one attribute: grid,
    and one method: add_location() which is only being used for simplicity.
    Attributes:
        grid: list
    Methods:
        add_location(): 
    '''
    def __init__(self, rows, cols):
        self.grid = []  # create an empty grid
        for r in range(rows):  # for each row ...
            row = []  # create an empty list
            for c in range(cols):  # for each column
                row.append([])  # add an empty list to row
            self.grid.append(row)  # Stick the whole row in the grid

    def add_location(self, row, col, location):
        self.grid[row][col] = location
        

We are not going to test this as it is simple and straight forward.
