Text-Based-Game-Engine

A game engine made in python which uses text as its graphic interface instead of regular 2d shapes and sprites.

Features:

• Gameobjects made of multiple lines of text
• Movement of gameobjects eithe relative or globally
• Generation of each frame at any speed
• Gameobject flips and 90 degree rotations
• Deletion of game objects
• Deletion and replacemnt of individual characters in game objects
• Collision detection

Uses of Engine:

• Platforms which only allow for text input
• Simple python console games

Getting Started:

• Start by installing the project using pip install textgameengine
• To place your first object, run this code

import textgameengine
#The stage is the area where all the gameobjects will go
stage = Stage(8, 8, ".")
#Text Assets are the equivalent of sprite assets in other game engines
textasset = TextAsset("^-^\n/|\\\n-^-")
#Stage.place places the textasset on to the stage at the coordinates
gameobject = stage.place(textasset, 2, 2, 0)
#Stage.print rebuilds the scene with any changes made to the stage and then prints it
stage.print()

• Let's say we want to move him to the right by one spot!
• To move a gameobject, you would use this code

import textgameengine
#The stage is the area where all the gameobjects will go
stage = Stage(8, 8, ".")
#Text Assets are the equivalent of sprite assets in other game engines
textasset = TextAsset("^-^\n/|\\\n-^-")
#Stage.place places the textasset on to the stage at the coordinates
gameobject = stage.place(textasset, 2, 2, 0)
#Push moves the object relative to its position; In this case, it will move 1 unit to the right
gameobject.push(1, 0)
#Stage.print rebuilds the scene with any changes made to the stage and then prints it
stage.print()
