Thanks a lot! 🙏

Hey there! As far as I know 'bone files' were essentially saved states of a player's death in the game. They stored information about the character, items, maybe how the player died, etc. Other players might stumble upon these during their playthroughs, adding a cool dynamic feature! Thanks for the cool question and sorry for the late reply! Just getting back to youtube 😄

Hey, sorry for the late reply! I just created a simple ASCII clock for you, I hope this is what you expected :) github.com/orkslayergamedev/ascii-clock/blob/main/run.py

Hey, thanks for the words. But no need to be rude, I understand your concern. I made this series when I was just starting out with Python - now, as a mid-level software engineer, I can see the issues that might've frustrated you. If you check out my latest videos, you'll notice a significant improvement in my tutorials. That's it. Have a nice day!

Hey, thanks a lot for the kind words, I really appreciate it! I'm happy that even such a niche topic can gather folks together!

I'm really glad to hear this! Mixing learning with playing (or eventually creating a game) makes it so much easier, I'm glad it worked for you too! Thanks for the feedback :)

Hey there, my pleasure! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the content! Happy coding to you 🐍

Hey! I'm terribly sorry for the delay, I had to take a huge break from social media. Let me know if you figured it out in the meantime or if you still need help! I'll be right here! 🙌

@@orkslayergamedev You're all good! I would still love some help. I still am quite new at coding. Thanks!

Alright, no worries! I'll get back to you tomorrow (almost 2am here, even a night owl needs some sleep). So if I get it right, you need help with how to integrate the random map generator from the latest videos into this game, right?

@@orkslayergamedevyessir! Yeah go get some sleep! Take as much time as you need!

There you go, bud! github.com/orkslayergamedev/ASCII-RPG/tree/random-map I added the Map and Tile classes from the map generation video and incorporated the logic into the context of the old RPG tutorial. Now if you start a game, you'll see the map displayed with the player marked with a red X. I also created all the map elements under tile.py but tiles like Bridge, Town, Mayor, etc. are still missing from the map and need to be added manually, you can handle this under the Map class. I'll leave it up to you but if you need ideas, just let me know :) Try it out and let me know how you like it. Happy coding! 🐍 ps. I might recreate this tutorial series sometime as it's pretty outdated.

Hey! Sorry for the late reply, just got back from a long break! First of all thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. You’ll notice this pattern in most of my older videos, where I didn't use classes and modules as effectively. In my latest content the structure is designed much better. I encourage you to take a look, it's worth it!

Thank you so much! Have a nice day!

Hey, thanks a bunch for asking - I’m so glad to see people excited for new content! 😊 I just got back from a long break, feeling refreshed and ready to create new videos!

@orkslayergamedev I'm waiting with excitement

Absolutely, great points! Thanks for the comment, much appreciated :)

Oh hey, I just found this comment now! Wow, this is definitely something I'll show my friends too. You guys did a great job with the game and I'm happy that I could inspire you! No worries about the sprites, it’s totally fine. I’m glad to see you bringing the idea to life! And thanks a lot for giving me credit, it means a lot :) I can't wait till you take a look the final version of Field Trip (the asteroid shooter), I have 2 new videos coming up now that I’m back on youtube!

Coming back from a long break, I'm really happy to see such kind comments like yours! Even though this tutorial is a bit outdated, I'm glad it helped you! Happy coding to you 🐍

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing that! I'm super glad you enjoyed the series :) I’m curious about how far you’ve come with Python since you left this comment two months ago. Let me know how your coding journey is going! P.S. I feel you - ADHD can be a menace with the short-term attention span, but keep it up!

Hey! I'm really sorry for the late reply, I hope you’ve figured it out by now. If not, I keep the constant values in the constants.py module :)

Thank you! I can always use some great feedback :)

Thanks so much! I'm really glad to hear that your class enjoyed it as well 😊

Oh hey! Thanks so much for the kind words, and apologies for the delayed reply - I had to take a huge break to rest. I can't say for sure how these color codes work in iOS environment, but I think a bit of research would answer that! I remember testing the early versions of this random map generator on my android phone, probably using the pydroid3 app, and I had no issues with the color codes. If you figured it out by now, I'd love to hear about your experiences! Thanks again! 😊

Thank you! 💪🏼

That's a great way to start! With solid foundations, you can go really far. Wishing you the best on your journey! 🐍

Thanks for the feedback, really appreciated! 🙏

Hey! Really sorry for the delayed reply, I was on a longer break :( I hope you managed to figure out the coloring - but if not, I'd be happy to help! Just drop a comment and I’ll get back to you! 👋

That sounds awesome! I remember playing similar games on paper, too - it was so much fun! Thanks for the feedback 😊

If anyone asks why creating tutorials worth it, this is it! Thanks for sharing this with me, happy coding to you! 🐍

Did you figure it out or would you still like some suggestions?

@@AdamApocalyptic i never did figure it out, i ended up messing with lua and love 2d which i got fairly close with, but ended up being more complex than it was worth for me since im new

Hey, thanks for the comment! Apologies for the delayed reply, I just got back from a long break. I’ve thought about creating a game like that too - it would look amazing! Combining the possibilities of pygame with the authentic look of ASCII games is just epic. Although the implementation might cause bit of a headache, I think it's possible. The real question is whether we stick to a strict character grid like in traditional ASCII games, or if we allow it to be more free-flowing, with ASCII sprites that can go anywhere. I think both are achievable. What do you think?

@@orkslayergamedev No worries! The one i ended up trying to emulate was a grid based ascii game, but what was special about it is it used i beieve an 8x8 pixel grid with an 8x12 typeset, so when it printed out the ascii, assuming it prints in the right direction, it has a 3d effect. I think something like that would be cool to see if you could figure out, as i never really did. Ultimately its up to you tho, i think either way it would be cool to see. Let me know if you plan on doing a video on something like that and ill keep an eye out for it.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm happy to hear this 😊

Sure thing, man! My pleasure!

Much appreciated! Welcome aboard!

Thanks for your feedback, I really appreciate it!

Hey! Thanks for the amazing comment, I’m really happy to read all of this. I think this is the first time someone’s tried to replicate the project in another language - what a great challenge! The contestants definitely did an incredible job designing completely different games from the base idea, I’m still proud of them. Maybe I’ll come up with a similar challenge sometime soon :) Anyway, thanks again and have a great day!

Totally right, thanks for pointing that out! I appreciate the suggestion! 🐍

Thank you very much!

Hey! First of all, of course I remember you and your game entry :) Second, this is the kind of descriptive feedback that I'd like to hear, so a HUGE thanks to you, it helps a lot! 🙏‍ Quite some time passed since this video, what I can point out it the first suggestion of yours - I felt the same - this zigzag texture didn't fit well so I hand-drawn a really nice pixel art electricity animation around the laser beam! Can't wait to show it :) Also, I'll think about the enhanced charge animation too, as it feels a little odd in this state. Thanks again! 🙌‍

Such an honor, thank you for sharing this with me! 🙏‍ If you want to make it more fun/interactive for your seniors, you could show them the second part of this video as well (my latest one), as I've included 5 coding challenges along the way! They could even compete in a friendly manner with the points they gathered :)

I really appreciate your kind feedback, thank you! 🙏‍ Happy coding to you! 🐍

Thanks so much, I appreciate it! 🙏‍

I appreciate your kind words, thank you! 🙏‍

Much appreciated, thank you! :)

No problem, let me help! This is the part of the string we need to take a look at: f"{self.color if self.is_colored else ''}" f"{remaining_bars * self.symbol_remaining}" f"{lost_bars * self.symbol_lost}" f"{self.colors['default'] if self.is_colored else ''}" It starts with a f"{self.color if self.is_colored else ''}" - this means if the is_colored bool is True, this evaluates to the color string of the of the health bar. Otherwise it's an empty string that does nothing. If the color string is present, all the following text will be colored (literally everywhere) until the code finds another color string that changes this behaviour. As you can see the fourth line here is f"{self.colors['default'] if self.is_colored else ''}" - meaning if we started coloring, we paste the default color here. Which is the one that actually sets the color to the original grey/white. Let me show you the evaluated values: "\033[92m" f"{remaining_bars * self.symbol_remaining}" f"{lost_bars * self.symbol_lost}" "\033[0m" If we paste the symbols too for someone with missing health: "\033[92m" "██████████" "__________" "\033[0m" So the first row starts the coloring. Second row gets colored. Third row gets colored. Fourth row stops coloring. That's it, basically. Let me know if this helped :)

I'm happy to hear that my content helped you on your learning journey! Thanks you for the kind words and hope to see you around ❤️🙏‍

It's always a struggle to get the right difficulty - let it be understandable yet a bit advanced at the same time - but I'm delighted to hear your words! Thanks so much! 🙏‍

I hope I understand the question right. We want to store actions of a character and add extra layers into the attack method? Something like a safeguard that characters can't evade more than 50% of the battle? Or that the enemy can't miss twice in a row? Let me know and so I can help!

Congratulations on the sponsorship🎉

Thank you! 🙏🏻 It was an amazing opportunity to try out and sponsor a site that - as it turned out - I actually love:)
