2D-Platformer

A simple 2D Platformer built with PyGame.

Highlights

• No OOP stuff were possible (no inheritance, no polymorphism, no virtual methods and no patterns -ever) but still Python, so you will find data classes that are the closest thing in PY to a C-like struct also some 3rd party PyGame classes.

• Easy to extend and create custom behaviors (see characters.py).

• Map drawing using single tiles or chunks to improve software rendering performance (see game_render.py).

  

• Custom Tiled support including character spawning (see tilemap_scripts.py).

• Also includes:

  • Static collisions against a tile-based map and dynamic collisions between characters (see game_scripts.py).
  • Side scrolling for a tile-based map with completely aligned cameras and using offsets (see game_render.py).
  • Character sprite-animations updated according to entity state (see game_render.py).

• Install Python 3.12.x from https://www.python.org/

• Run this command to download PyGame:
