Project that uses python libraries for creating a platformer style video game.

• This game code can be used with python 2.7 and 3.0 (recommended) and has been built with the following libraries:

  • Panda3D:

    • Game engine Panda3D SDK

  • Pygame:

    • 2D game engine. Only the joystick module from this library is used
    • The source code can be downloaded from here. However, it's preferable to install through pip3

• Use pip3 to install the game dependencies. Locate the requirements.txt file and run the following command:

   	sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
  

• Recomendations: A PS2 Joystick is recommended (USB adapted is needed) however the game will default to the keyboard if no joystick is plugged in.

• Joystick Controls (PS2)

  • Jump X
  • Dash R1
  • Move right or left D-PAD
  • Climb Up D-PAD (Hanging on ledge only)

• Keyboard Controls

  • Dash Q
  • Jump S
  • Move right or left Use Arrows
  • Climb Up Arrow Up (Hanging on ledge only)

• The demos are located in the platformer_core/demos/ directory.

• Run demo 1:

  python3 demos/demo_basic_game.py
  

  The level in this demo was procedurally generated

• Run demo 2:

  python3 demos/demo_simple_level.py
  

  The level in this demo was created in blender. More on level creation in blender here This demo is pretty buggy at the moment.

• In both these demo you can run, jump, dash, double jump and hang from ledges.

• Have fun ...
