My Flask blog is done. Not sure yet if I'll import it to the internet. I may also post some screenshots after I edit the css code but I'll worry about that later on this week.

Almost done with the Flask blog I've been working on. I haven't put in much time into programming this week but after I finish this blog I'm going to get back into learning about APIs. There's a program idea I have but still trying to decide how I should do it.

I've also been thinking about making both a weather app and a budget app.

Having the same problem with values, except now the player HP keeps resetting in the while loop while the Imp's hp is working as intended. I have no idea why, maybe the if functions within the while loop is affecting the calculations?

Show us the code.

Still a few hours away from finishing this Flask tutorial but now I can log in and have an account page for my blog.

Daily schedule at work or in general? My work hours typically span from 7am to 3pm, but that's been moving around a bit with working from home. During those work hours it's not really fixed because it depends on what projects I'm working on and what needs to be done in those projects.

I meant your work schedule. Those are good hours. Just trying to get an idea of what I want to do.

SpiritSephiroth posted...

In other words, my code is in the clear for now. I can finally continue with this madness and expand on it!

Nice! Can't wait to see the end result.

Is it worth it to learn python in hopes of getting a low level job with no degree

IMO yes. If you're dedicated and can fight through the first few months of absorbing knowledge you can become a great programmer. After that it's learning new libraries and creating your own projects to understand how they work, followed by learning new languages.

Do yourself a favor. Next time you go out, stop by Barnes&Noble or any other book store, and pick up the book Python Crash Course. That book is a great starter point for Python.

You certainly could, the code is going to be very similar to Player. This is where it's a great time to figure out inheritance.

Yup!

Kept working on this Flask tutorial. The guy in the video reorganized his folders due to circular importing, so I did the same thing and copied / named everything perfectly. I deleted my database. I changed the working Python terminal directory to match my new folder. Everything was going smoothly. I created a new database, then I went to import the two classes. That worked too. Then I tried db.create_all(). That didn't work. Nothing worked after that. After spending 45 minutes looking for answers I decided fuck it. Remade a new folder, copied all my files over and reimported all the Flask modules and ran my main.py. Then I recreated the database and it finally worked. No idea what caused the problem since I didn't edit anything, but it's fine now. Also, last night the Class.query_all() command didn't work in the terminal but now it does and I'll be able to see my tables when I start adding them, so everything ended up working out.

I started learning the basics of programming while screwing around with RPG Maker 2000 as a kid, but that was a purely point and click interface at the time. Then I picked more up through high school computer science classes and later on in university where I earned my degree in computer science (though for practical programming I learned it mostly through side projects in my spare time). I work as a software engineer, so I keep up to date with stuff.

What's your daily schedule like? I don't have a CS degree and I'm just self-teaching. I have no idea what I want to do with programming yet but I live in the Bay Area so I have a lot of options. I was thinking of continuing my teaching, try getting an entry level position somewhere and then go back to school for a new degree at the same time.

I need to pick up again and maybe just learn more about them and how to use them before trying to implement them in my code.

Show us your full code. I can go over it and give a few suggestions.

If you need some more help understanding how classes work, watch that video series I posted. But basically, think of classes as a way to trim down your code. Say you are making an RPG. You aren't going to just have a single character, you're going to have multiple. You could make the character like this:

def character_one(char, health, attack, defense, strength, m_atk, mana):
char = archer,
health = 100,
attack = 20,
defense = 20,
str = 50,
m_attack = 15,
mana = 150,

That's 8 lines of code. Now pretend you want 8 characters. That's 64 lines of code + spacing so a bit over 70 lines of code just for the characters. Using classes cuts down on that because each character will have the same stats no matter what.

class Entity:
def __init__(self, char, health, attack, defense, str, m_atk, mana):
self.char = char,
self.health = health,
self.attack = attack,
self.defense = defense,
self.str = str,
self.m_atk = m_atk,
self.mana = mana,

For every class, the very first method (you call functions inside of classes, methods) will always be the __init__ method, followed by what stats each character will have. Afterwards you simply create a new variable with the amount for each stat.

a = Entity(char=archer, health=100, attack=20, def=15, str=50, m_atk=15, mana=200)
t = Entity(char=thief, health=100, attack=30, def=25, str=45, m_atk=5, mana=0)

And you can call the class as many times as you want, so 8 characters will be in 8 lines of code, rather than 64 lines. Does that make more sense?

Alright, I made a quick and awful battle system with poor OOP abstraction

Nah fam. I really like that code. It's very neat. Where did you learn to program? And what other languages do you know?

Creating my own Flask database to create a blog and was stuck for 20 minutes importing the database. Turns out it was because I had made a typo in my file name when trying to call from flask import db. I googled so many questions trying to figure out what I did wrong.

Questionmarktarius posted...

But, you need to know when it's worth going OOP, and when you should just do it all in main().

I still have trouble with using the import function properly. I was working on a shop to purchase units and set it to its own shop.py file but it wouldn't allow me to call a function from my main.py file due to me calling import from main.py to import the shop.

1337toothbrush posted...

I had forgotten about this topic! Posting here to bring it to the top of my active messages list. I might write an OOP battle system example if you think that'd be useful.

Great idea. Both myself and SpiritSephiroth have been working on our own battle systems. I'm using OOP for mine, so making classes & such but I'm still having trouble with it so I'm taking a break to learn more about OOP. I'll probably get back into that project some time this week, because right now I'm working on a flask database to create a blog. Let us know your ideas + how it goes. @1337toothbrush

Liked how you spaced out your code too, it looks so neat and even looks clean when executing it. I should do that more often.

It will save you a headache from trying to read disorganized code, that's for sure.

What do you use to write code? Pycharm?

Questionmarktarius posted...

If you're doing RPG type things, that's decent OOP model right there.

Right now I'm working on a battle system using only Python. It's text heavy but I'll condense it once I get everything completed and have the time to go over it line-by-line.

I want to experience this more too. I know how it feels. Cant wait to get back to it after Tuesday.

Once you start experiencing more OOP (like from the video I linked you) you'll start getting more of those experiences.

So I was mad because I spent over an hour trying to figure out why my code wasn't working.

I think I googled 10+ different things and read a bunch of different things on stackoverflow trying to figure it out.

Then by some miracle I figured it out on my own and now I won't go to bed mad.

It was stupid too because I was in a while loop and couldn't figure out why my remove() function of a piece of string in a list wouldn't work. It was so simple but for some reason would not work.

SpiritSephiroth posted...

I'll take a look! I have an important test on Tuesday for something but once I'm done I'll catch up on everything.

Okay bet!

I know I tell y'all to watch certain videos / read certain articles but this is one you need to make time for.

It's only an hour long but I highly recommend it. It will make using and understanding how Classes work so much easier.

I just finished watching all the videos now + I wrote out all the code but I may watch it again tomorrow.

but if I have time tonight I'll also make a quick version of the project you're describing. Just for fun. I already have an idea how I'll write the code out.

SpiritSephiroth posted...

I'm going to implement more into the code to make it more complex

What you could do is start everyone off (including yourself) with a certain amount of HP.

Player = 50
Enemy_# = 10
Boss = 15

And then you could use the random feature to randomize attacks.

Attack = random.randint(0, 10)

Now every time either you, one of the enemies, or the boss uses an attack it'll take a random amount of HP away.

---

FAM FOREVER.

I have no idea. I rewrote all your code and it worked fine for me. Can you paste the code here so I can try it?

Also, are you using Boss_HP = 10 for anything? Because I didn't see it mentioned anywhere except for at the top.
And instead of saying

You = You - 3

you can simplify it by saying

You -= 3

Actually, only do that neat little project if you want to test your patience, or don't mind spending a bunch of time looking up how to fix an outdated version of PyQt. And right when I got everything working perfectly, it still won't work.

Scotty_Rogers posted...

The games should really just be about Sonic fighting Eggman with no one else involved. I hate all of the other characters lol. If I had to be generous, I could excuse Tails and Knuckles, but they weren't fun to play as in Heroes at all. Brawling as the power characters and flying as the flight characters just killed the game's flow. When you play a Sonic game, you just want high speed action and platforming; devs keep adding in this other shit that no one wants.

Fam can you imagine if Sonic was owned by Sony? We might actually get a good Sonic game again. Sony always wins, baby!

---

FAM FOREVER.

Sonic Heroes could have been good if it just focused on the two main teams of Sonic, Knuckles, Tails and Shadow, Rouge, Omega. Instead they cluttered it with an extra six characters that no one gave a fuck about which brought the game down from good to shit tier. Sucks because some of the courses and music were pretty good.
