Dino Game

A Python reimplementation of the famous dino game, thought for autonomous control

Installation

You can install it from pypi.

pip install dino-game

Usage

Try the game

To try the game without any automation

python -m dinogame

You can use spacebar to start running, jump, reset when dino dies, and key_down to crouch.

Library usage

This initializes the game

from dinogame import DinoGame

game = DinoGame()

To start the game's loop you can use play method

game.play()

Callbacks

The library provides some callbacks to feed back the game

• loop_callback is called at each new frame
• gameover_callback is called when a gameover occurs

To subscribe to callback you can use callback's set method.

The current instance of DinoGame is given to the callback as argument.

def lp_cb(game: GameDino):
    # do something

game.loop_callback.set(lp_cb)

Actions

The following actions are provided as methods:

• jump to jump
• crouch to crouch
• stand_up to stand up
• start_running to start to run
• reset to reset the game

if the_cake_is_ready():
    game.jump()

Useful properties

DinoGame exposes the following useful properties:

• load the current load of the application. If it is more than 1 it is a problem.
• score the current score or that of the last session if the player dies.
• time_alive the lifetime of the player.
• frame the last game frame as numpy.ndarray.

if the_game_is_over():
    print("My score is {}".format(game.score))
