Hello again,
Thank you again for your help. I have classes somewhat figured out
and I am beginning to understand the syntax involved in using them.
What I have so far is a very simple text adventure with two rooms, two
items, and some exits.
Two question which relates directly to classes: Do you create all
your instances at the end of the program or just as needed? Can you
call functions from other classes within a class (So I create an
Object class for items and I want then instances to appear in the Room
class as they are called).
Third question. Using function I understand how to move a player
around in different rooms using raw_input and if statements but how do
you do that with classes. I created a player class and I want one of
the methods to be moving from room to room. Or should movement be a
separate class?
I am looking at the code that Paul McGuire wrote for using
pyparsing and I don't quite understand how it all works. I have to
book Game Programming: The L line coming in two weeks. I am just
trying to get a head start.
Thank you.
Ara
