PyFlags is a real time strategy game where the player controls tanks to capture the enemy flag and returns it to home base.
This game was written in Python 3.8.1 using Pygame 2.0.0.dev6 library.
The following elements where written from scratch: Collision detection. Game objects such as tanks, bullets, obstacles, flags and base. Simple Artificial Intelligence. Tank controls.
python3 py-flags.py blocks -ff
blocks is the name of a map in the maps directory. The optional -ff flag turns on friendly fire.
Human players select tanks by pressing 1, 2 or 3 on the keyboard. To move a selected tank, click anywhere on the screen. To tell a selected tank to fire, press spacebar.
Pressing a combination of 1, 2 or 3 in quick succession will select multiple tanks. To deselect the a tank and select a new one, simple wait a little bit then press the number for the desired tank.
One point is given for possessing the flag and one hundred points are given for returning the enemy flag to your base.
Additional AI can be created using artificialIntelligence.py as an example.
Additional maps can be creating using maps/blocks.json as an example.
It is possible to have the AI battle itself by setting all the human attributes to false in the map (e.g. blocks.json).
