It is time to shoot with our tank and destroy the towers! We have all we need: a state to represent bullets, commands to update them, layers for the rendering, and a UI to manage all of these.
Continue readingThe next post of the “Discover Python & Patterns” series is not ready… There is a lot of content and I would like to offer the best presentation. It will be ready next week.
I have completed the program for this post, and now the tank and towers can shoot bullets. I did a short video presentation:
See you next Wednesday!
Since we saw the class inheritance, I can show you how to get a better implementation of the Command pattern. It eases a lot the management of commands and introduces exciting features.

Amazon may suggest you borrow it – ignore it and do as if you want to buy it: it costs zero!
In this post, I want to use the mouse to orient the unit weapons.

We got a background now, but we can get a better one with layers! Now that we saw the class inheritance, I can show you how to create and add new layers of different kinds easily.
Continue readingWe still have no background in our game: I add one in this post using 2D arrays.
Continue readingIn this post, I present the basics of class inheritance, to represent our units (the tank and the canon tower) more efficiently.
Continue readingI introduce in this post Python lists: with them, we can store and process any number of items, for instance, all the canon towers in our game.
