Status: game state/end of game/levels¶
Status/Score¶
Often you want to show the current score or something similar.
For this the miniworldmaker offers you special tokens, e.g. Text or Number tokens.
Create a text¶
You can create a text like this:
text = miniworldmaker.Text(position, string)
position is a tuple with the upper left corner of the text
string is a text that will be displayed.
On a pixelboard a text is scaled automatically. On a tiledboard it will be displayed completely inside a tile (and is probably too small for longer texts).
Example:¶
from miniworldmaker import *
board = PixelBoard(400,400)
hello_world = Text((100,100), "Hello world!")
board.run()
Modify a text¶
You can change the text at any time using the text attribute.
The following program always displays the last pressed button:
from miniworldmaker import *
board = PixelBoard(400,400)
key = Text((100,100), "")
@key.register
def on_key_down(self, key):
print(key)
self.text = key[0]
board.run()
Numbers¶
You can display numbers on the screen with number tokens.
This works very similar to text. The following program for example every time a key is pressed the displayed number is increased by 1:
from miniworldmaker import *
board = PixelBoard(400,400)
show_number = Number((100,100), 1)
@show_number.register
def on_key_down(self, key):
n = self.get_number()
self.set_number(n + 1)
board.run()
End of game / level change¶
The following are typical end-of-game/level change actions:
Clear the playing field
Stop the game field.
The following commands are available for this:
board.stop(): Stops the game board. No more actions will be executed and no events are queried.board.start(): This cancels a stop command.board.is_running: With this variable you can query the status of the board. of the board.board.clear(): This function removes all pieces from the board.board.reset(): The function clears the current board and creates a new board creates a new board with all the pieces as they were in [board.on_setup()]{.title-ref}.
