ChamberCourt
https://github.com/rrthomas/chambercourt
by Reuben Thomas rrt@sc3d.org
ChamberCourt is a framework for simple 2-D grid-based games, based on Pygame-ce.
It is only intended for use by the author, mostly to resurrect a bunch of old games he wrote a long time ago. I welcome help to make it more generally useful: there is room for improvement in many areas. For example, it would be nice if the games could run on the web (I have experimented with pygbag, but I didn’t get very far yet), and some basic functionality would be nice such as a UI for rebinding keys. However, I want to keep it as simple as possible!
The package is named after the central courtyard of my school, Winchester College, because I wrote this package first while resurrecting a game, WinColl, named after the school.
Installation
Install with pip: pip install chambercourt.
Creating games with ChamberCourt
The following documentation is available:
- API documentation
- Cookbook
- Demo game: a demonstration game is available, called
chambercourt. You can run it directly from a Git checkout withPYTHONPATH=. python -m chambercourt.
Creating and editing levels
Levels are created and edited in Tiled. All
in-game graphics and sounds are stored in the levels directory by
convention. A demonstration level is in chambercourt/levels.
Some notes about level design:
- A set of levels is numbered according to the lexical order of their file names.
- Levels need exactly one start position, given by placing the hero.
