SK8plotlib

Turn any matplotlib line chart into a line skateboarding game.

[!CAUTION] SK8plotlib is in pre-alpha. Expect bugs. Software provided without warranty, yada yada.

Installation

Install from PyPI with:

pip install sk8plotlib

Use

Turn any matplotlib line chart into a skatepark with:

import sk8plotlib.sk8plot as sk8

# ... create a matplotlib figure

sk8(fig)

Alternatively, you can load example maps by running SK8plotlib on the command line, such as by doing:

python -m sk8plotlib

Controls

While on a surface, you can use the left/right arrow keys to go left or right.

While in the air, you can use up/down to rotate your skateboard.

Roadmap

Planned features before v0.1:

• Automatic detection of lines in plot
• Basic physics simulation (single accelerating point)
• Basic collision detection (skateboard only)
• Skateboard rotation on surfaces
• User control input
• Smooth camera
• Automatic framerate & physics timestep scaling
• Automatic map scaling
• Auto-initialize in correct location

Planned future features:

• Improved player character
• Improved collisions (had to be done sooner than planned...)
• Improve rotation snapping to be less aggressive
• Improved graphics
• Music
• Support for log plots
• Scoring system?
