Discover Python and Patterns (27): Music and Sounds
In this post, I add music and sounds to our tank game and make use of the Observer pattern to implement it efficiently.
Discover Python and Patterns (26): Game modes
To merge the menu in the previous post with the tank game, I create game modes thanks to an improved Game Loop pattern.
Discover Python and Patterns (24): Load levels
In the previous post, we created a new level using Tiled. I show you how to load it in our game.
Discover Python and Patterns (22): Animations
In this post, I propose to add an explosion animation when someone destroys a unit. It can be achieved in an effective way using the Observer pattern. I also add some optimization to get a smoother experience!
Discover Python and Patterns (21): Bullets
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.
Discover Python and Patterns (20): Better commands
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.
Discover Python and Patterns (19): Mouse
In this post, I want to use the mouse to orient the unit weapons.
Discover Python and Patterns (18): Layers
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.
Discover Python and Patterns (17): 2D arrays
We still have no background in our game: I add one in this post using 2D arrays.
