pygstudio 0.1.1

A tool to help build games easily with pygame.

Pygstudio

A template to make games easier like what you see in game engines like Unity and Roblox.

How to use pygstudio

• To create your own pygstudio project, type in your terminal: pygstudio create [NAME] or python -m pygstudio create [NAME] -o [DESTINATION]. This will make a new pygstudio template in your directory / destination.

What can you do with pygstudio?

1. Easy configuration - Each file are provided with comments to help you guide in building your game. You can also edit the code if you don't like the code.
2. Easy access - Your scripts can access various things like the globals, components and assets by putting these lines of code: import globals import components pygame.image.load("assets/mypicture.png") (an example of using assets). Example:

# scripts/npc.py
import pygame, random
import globals, components

for i in range(10):
    npc_character_image = pygame.image.load("assets/smol_npc.png")
    new_npc = components.characters.NPC(npc_character_image, (random.random() * 100, random.random() * 1000))   # NPC(image, position)
    globals.npcs.append(new_npc)
    new_npc.start_being_npc()

3. Threaded scripts - Make a script easily by making a file/package inside the scripts directory.

Instead of this monstrosity:

import threading

def fire_function_every_3_seconds(): ...   # takes 15 lines of code
def handle_physics(): ...   # takes 300 lines of code 
def handle_network(): ...   # takes 258 lines of code

threading.Thread(daemon=True, target=fire_function_every_3_seconds).start()
threading.Thread(daemon=True, target=handle_physics).start()
threading.Thread(daemon=True, target=handle_network).start()

You can now put them in their separate files and they will be executed independently.

# scripts/loop.py
...     # the entire `fire_function_every_3_seconds` code

# scripts/physics.py
...     # the entire `handle_physics` code

# scripts/network.py
...     # the entire `handle_network` code

Template

The file structure of pygstudio follows (where NAME is your project name):

(Version 1.0)

[NAME]/
- [NAME].py
- globals.py
- engine.py
- script_manager.py
- assets/
- scripts/
- components/
    - __init__.py
