Finally, in this chapter, we will look at the mana detection mechanism where when the player has overlapped mana he will gain 1 unit of life so when he hits the enemy he can continue to move onward after he has used that 1 unit of life to heal himself. We will also remove the enemy from the scene after it has collided with the player. In order to create such a system, we need to edit a few files. The first file we need to edit is the enemy file where we will just add in the alive flag to indicate whether that enemy is alive or not, if that enemy did not collide with the boy then it is alive.

            self.forward = False

        return self.count

Then the enemy sprite class will only update and draw that enemy if it is alive.

from EnemyObject import EnemyObject
from pygame import math as mt
from Enemy import Enemy

class EnemySprite(object):

    def __init__(self, level, scene):

        self.row = 10
        self.column = 10
        self.scene = scene # game scene instance
        self.space = 64 # image width and height

        self.level = level # current game level

        self.total_enemy_list = []

        self.enemy_object = EnemyObject()

        self.create_enemy(level)

    def create_enemy(self, level):

        self.enemy_boundary_list = self.enemy_object.get_object_boundary(level)
        self.enemy_original_position = self.enemy_object.get_original_position(level)

        i = 0
        if(level == 1):
            while(i < 5):
                self.total_enemy_list.append(Enemy(self.enemy_boundary_list[i], self.enemy_original_position[i]))
                i += 1

    def update(self):
        for enemy in self.total_enemy_list:
            if (enemy.alive == True):
                enemy.update()

    def draw(self):
        self.counter = 0
        for row in range(self.row):

            for column in range(self.column):

                if(self.enemy_list[row][column] == 1):

                    self.enemy = self.total_enemy_list[self.counter]

                    if(self.enemy.alive == True):

                        self.draw_pos = mt.Vector2(self.enemy.x, self.enemy.y)  # the position of the image on game scene
                        self.scene.blit(self.enemy.get_enemy_surface(), self.draw_pos)  # draw enemy frame

                    self.counter += 1

    def get_level(self, level):
        self.enemy_list = self.enemy_object.get_object_list(level)

    def get_enemy_list(self):
        return self.total_enemy_list

The next file we need to edit is the mana file where we will again include the alive flag for mana as well.

from pygame.locals import *
from GameSprite import GameSprite

class Mana(object):

    def __init__(self, original_position_list):

        self.count = 0

        #original location for mana object

        self.x = original_position_list[0]
        self.y = original_position_list[1]

        self.alive = True

        self.mana_image_sprite_right = 'Asset/right.png'

        self.create_surface(self.mana_image_sprite_right)

    def create_surface(self, mana_image_sprite):

        self.mana_rect = Rect(7 * 64, 0, 64, 64)
        self.sprite = GameSprite(mana_image_sprite, self.mana_rect)
        self.sprite_surface = self.sprite.getImage()

    def update(self):
        pass

    def get_mana_surface(self):

        return self.sprite_surface

The next file we need to edit is the mana sprite file where that class will only draw the mana if it is alive. We have also added in the get mana list method which will be called by the mana manager class later on.

from pygame import math as mt
from Mana import Mana
from ManaObject import ManaObject

class ManaSprite(object):

    def __init__(self, level, scene):

        self.row = 10
        self.column = 10
        self.scene = scene # game scene instance
        self.space = 64 # image width and height

        self.level = level # current game level

        self.total_mana_list = []

        self.mana_object = ManaObject()

        self.create_mana(level)

    def create_mana(self, level):

        self.mana_original_position = self.mana_object.get_original_position(level)

        i = 0
        if(level == 1):
            while(i < 4):
                self.total_mana_list.append(Mana(self.mana_original_position[i]))
                i += 1

    def update(self):

        for mana in self.total_mana_list:
            mana.update()

    def draw(self):
        self.counter = 0
        for row in range(self.row):

            for column in range(self.column):

                if(self.mana_list[row][column] == 1):

                    self.mana = self.total_mana_list[self.counter]
                    if(self.mana.alive == True):
                        self.draw_pos = mt.Vector2(self.mana.x, self.mana.y)  # the position of the image on game scene
                        self.scene.blit(self.mana.get_mana_surface(), self.draw_pos)  # draw mana object
                    self.counter += 1

    def get_level(self, level):
        self.mana_list = self.mana_object.get_object_list(level)

    def get_mana_list(self):
        return self.total_mana_list

Next is the mana manager class where we will include a new method call get mana list to return the list of mana objects from the mana sprite class where that mana list will later be used in the boy sprite class.

from ManaSprite import ManaSprite

class ManaManager(object):

    def __init__(self, scene, game_level):

        self.scene = scene
        self.level = game_level
        self.mana = ManaSprite(self.level, self.scene)
        self.create_mana()

    # get the mana location list for this level
    def create_mana(self):

        self.mana.get_level(self.level)

    def update(self):

        self.mana.update()

    def draw(self):

        self.mana.draw()

    def get_mana_list(self):

        return self.mana.get_mana_list()

The next file we need to edit is the boy sprite class where we will detect the mana-boy overlapping and detect the boy-enemy collision event accordingly.

from BoyObject import BoyObject
from pygame import math as mt
from pygame.locals import *
from GameSprite import GameSprite

class BoySprite(object):

    def __init__(self, scene, level, enemy_manager, mana_manager, game_manager):

        self.row = 10
        self.column = 10
        self.scene = scene # game scene instance
        self.space = 64 # image width and height
        self.level = level # current game level
        self.enemy_manager = enemy_manager # the reference of enemy manager
        self.mana_manager = mana_manager # the reference of mana manager
        self.WIDTH = 640
        self.game_manager = game_manager
        self.prepare_boy(self.level)

    def prepare_boy(self, level):

        self.boy_original_position = self.boy_object.get_original_position(level)

In the previous article we have finished creating the player boundary detection mechanism and in this article, we will create a simple enemy player overlapping detection mechanism which we will then further modify it in the next article. Before we start, below are the game plans.

1. We will create a player enemy overlapping detection mechanism which will reset the player object at its original position if the player has overlapped any enemy object during the game.
2. This system is used to create the game over’s scenario in the real game where if the player hits the enemy and that player is not eating any mana then it will be game over.
3. The program will loop through each enemy in an enemy list to check whether has that enemy hit that player or not.
4. The enemy manager object will be passed into the boy sprite object when the program is creating the boy sprite object in the game manager class.

In order to achieve the above results we will need to edit four files, first is the game manager file.

            self.boy_sprite.setX(_x)

        self.game_scene.take_screen()

    def set_player_y(self, _y):
        if (self.state == self.GAME):
            self.boy_sprite.setY(_y)

    def update(self):
        self.enemy_manager.update()
        self.boy_sprite.update()
        #self.isOverlap()
        #self.explosion_manager.explosion_update()

    # check for player, enemy, missiles overlap
    def isOverlap(self):
        self.overlap_manager.isOverlap(self.boy_sprite, self.enemy_manager, self.explosion_manager, self.score_manager, self)

    def draw(self):
        if(self.state == self.GAME):
            self.background.draw()

            #self.enemy_manager.update()
            #self.explosion_manager.draw()
            #self.score_manager.draw()
            self.boy_sprite.draw()
            self.enemy_manager.draw()
            pygame.display.flip()

As you can see we have passed in the enemy manager instance to the boy sprite object during the setup stage of the game. Next we will edit the enemy manager file.

from EnemySprite import EnemySprite

class EnemyManager(object):

    def __init__(self, scene, game_level):

        self.scene = scene
        self.level = game_level
        self.enemy = EnemySprite(self.level, self.scene)
        self.create_enemy()

    def create_enemy(self):

        self.enemy.get_level(self.level)

    def update(self):

        self.enemy.update()

    # check the boundary of the enemy with the game scene area
    def get_enemy_list(self):

        return self.enemy.get_enemy_list()

    def draw(self):

        self.enemy.draw()

The get enemy list method will call the enemy sprite instance to return the complete enemy list which will then be returned to the original caller which is the boy sprite class. Next file we need to edit is the enemy sprite file.

from EnemyObject import EnemyObject
from pygame import math as mt
from Enemy import Enemy

class EnemySprite(object):

    def __init__(self, level, scene):

        self.row = 10
        self.column = 10
        self.scene = scene # game scene instance
        self.space = 64 # image width and height

        self.level = level # current game level

        self.total_enemy_list = []

        self.enemy_object = EnemyObject()

        self.create_enemy(level)

    def create_enemy(self, level):

        self.enemy_boundary_list = self.enemy_object.get_object_boundary(level)
        self.enemy_original_position = self.enemy_object.get_original_position(level)

        i = 0
        if(level == 1):
            while(i < 5):
                self.total_enemy_list.append(Enemy(self.enemy_boundary_list[i], self.enemy_original_position[i]))
                i += 1

    def update(self):

        for enemy in self.total_enemy_list:
            enemy.update()

    def draw(self):
        self.counter = 0
        for row in range(self.row):

            for column in range(self.column):

                if(self.enemy_list[row][column] == 1):

                    self.enemy = self.total_enemy_list[self.counter]

                    self.draw_pos = mt.Vector2(self.enemy.x, self.enemy.y)  # the position of the image on game scene

                    self.scene.blit(self.enemy.get_enemy_surface(), self.draw_pos)  # draw enemy frame

                    self.counter += 1

    def get_level(self, level):
        self.enemy_list = self.enemy_object.get_object_list(level)

    def get_enemy_list(self):
        return self.total_enemy_list

Basically we have just included the get enemy list method which will return the entire enemy list to the caller. Finally we will edit the boy sprite class.

The check collide method will reset the player to his original position if he has collided with the enemy object. In the real game situation it will be game over.

The overlapping detection mechanism has completed which will now enable the program to reset the position of the boy if he has collided with the robot. @pygame_org pic.twitter.com/bW2mUWVFUY
