EasyCells

EasyCells is a Python game development framework inspired by Unity. It allows you to create Items (equivalent to Unity's GameObjects), organize game logic into Levels (equivalent to Unity's Scenes), and add Components to define object behaviors and functionalities.

Project Structure

Your project should follow this structure:

your_game/
├── Levels/           # Game scenes
│   └── level1.py
├── Assets/           # Game resources
│   ├── Ui/
│   ├── Sounds/
│   └── image.png
└── main.py           # Entry point 

Initializing the Game

The Game class should be created in main.py:

from EasyCells import Game

if __name__ == '__main__':
    GAME = Game("level1")
    GAME.run()

Creating a Level

Levels are files inside the Levels/ folder. Each Level must contain two main functions:

• init(game: Game): Initializes the objects in the Level.
• loop(game: Game): Runs every frame.

Example of a basic Level:

from EasyCells import Game
from EasyCells.Components import Sprite, Camera

# Initialize Level objects
def init(game: Game):
    camera = game.CreateItem()
    camera.AddComponent(Camera())
  
    item = game.CreateItem()  # Every Item already has a Transform automatically
    item.AddComponent(Sprite("image.png"))

# Game loop
def loop(game: Game):
    pass

RPC (Remote Procedure Call) Example

EasyCells supports Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) to synchronize actions between the server and clients. Use the @Rpc decorator to mark functions that will be called remotely. See the example below with explanations for each SendTo option:

from EasyCells.NetworkComponents import Rpc, NetworkComponent, SendTo

class MyNetworkComponent(NetworkComponent):
    @Rpc(SendTo.ALL)
    def action_all(self):
        """Executed on all (ALL)."""
        print("RPC: Executed on all.")

    @Rpc(SendTo.SERVER)
    def action_server(self):
        """Executed only on the server."""
        print("RPC: Executed on the server.")

    @Rpc(SendTo.CLIENTS)
    def action_clients(self):
        """Executed on clients, except on the server."""
        print("RPC: Executed on clients.")

    @Rpc(SendTo.OWNER)
    def action_owner(self):
        """Executed only on the object owner client."""
        print("RPC: Executed on the owner client.")

    @Rpc(SendTo.NOT_ME)
    def action_not_me(self):
        """Executed on all except the sender."""
        print("RPC: Executed on all, except the sender.")

Conclusion

EasyCells allows for modular and organized game development. Use Levels to structure game stages, Items to represent game objects, and Components to add behaviors. If needed, synchronize actions over the network with RPC. Explore the framework to build your game in a simple and efficient way!
