# McRogueFace Tutorial Parts 6-8: Implementation Plan
**Date**: Monday, July 28, 2025
**Target Delivery**: Tuesday, July 29, 2025
## Executive Summary
This document outlines the implementation plan for Parts 6-8 of the McRogueFace roguelike tutorial, adapting the libtcod Python tutorial to McRogueFace's architecture. The key discovery is that Python classes can successfully inherit from `mcrfpy.Entity` and store custom attributes, enabling a clean, Pythonic implementation.
## Key Architectural Insights
### Entity Inheritance Works!
```python
class GameEntity(mcrfpy.Entity):
def __init__(self, x, y, **kwargs):
super().__init__(x=x, y=y, **kwargs)
# Custom attributes work perfectly!
self.hp = 10
self.inventory = []
self.any_attribute = "works"
```
This completely changes our approach from wrapper patterns to direct inheritance.
---
## Part 6: Doing (and Taking) Some Damage
### Overview
Implement a combat system with HP tracking, damage calculation, and death mechanics using entity inheritance.
### Core Components
#### 1. CombatEntity Base Class
```python
class CombatEntity(mcrfpy.Entity):
"""Base class for entities that can fight and take damage"""
def __init__(self, x, y, hp=10, defense=0, power=1, **kwargs):
super().__init__(x=x, y=y, **kwargs)
# Combat stats as direct attributes
self.hp = hp
self.max_hp = hp
self.defense = defense
self.power = power
self.is_alive = True
self.blocks_movement = True
def calculate_damage(self, attacker):
"""Simple damage formula: power - defense"""
return max(0, attacker.power - self.defense)
def take_damage(self, damage, attacker=None):
"""Apply damage and handle death"""
self.hp = max(0, self.hp - damage)
if self.hp == 0 and self.is_alive:
self.is_alive = False
self.on_death(attacker)
def on_death(self, killer=None):
"""Handle death - override in subclasses"""
self.sprite_index = self.sprite_index + 180 # Corpse offset
self.blocks_movement = False
```
#### 2. Entity Types
```python
class PlayerEntity(CombatEntity):
"""Player: HP=30, Defense=2, Power=5"""
def __init__(self, x, y, **kwargs):
kwargs['sprite_index'] = 64 # Hero sprite
super().__init__(x=x, y=y, hp=30, defense=2, power=5, **kwargs)
self.entity_type = "player"
class OrcEntity(CombatEntity):
"""Orc: HP=10, Defense=0, Power=3"""
def __init__(self, x, y, **kwargs):
kwargs['sprite_index'] = 65 # Orc sprite
super().__init__(x=x, y=y, hp=10, defense=0, power=3, **kwargs)
self.entity_type = "orc"
class TrollEntity(CombatEntity):
"""Troll: HP=16, Defense=1, Power=4"""
def __init__(self, x, y, **kwargs):
kwargs['sprite_index'] = 66 # Troll sprite
super().__init__(x=x, y=y, hp=16, defense=1, power=4, **kwargs)
self.entity_type = "troll"
```
#### 3. Combat Integration
- Extend `on_bump()` from Part 5 to include combat
- Add attack animations (quick bump toward target)
- Console messages initially, UI messages in Part 7
- Death changes sprite and removes blocking
### Key Differences from Original Tutorial
- No Fighter component - stats are direct attributes
- No AI component - behavior in entity methods
- Integrated animations for visual feedback
- Simpler architecture overall
---
## Part 7: Creating the Interface
### Overview
Add visual UI elements including health bars, message logs, and colored feedback for combat events.
### Core Components
#### 1. Health Bar
```python
class HealthBar:
"""Health bar that reads entity HP directly"""
def __init__(self, entity, pos=(10, 740), size=(200, 20)):
self.entity = entity # Direct reference!
# Background (dark red)
self.bg = mcrfpy.Frame(pos=pos, size=size)
self.bg.fill_color = mcrfpy.Color(64, 16, 16)
# Foreground (green)
self.fg = mcrfpy.Frame(pos=pos, size=size)
self.fg.fill_color = mcrfpy.Color(0, 96, 0)
# Text overlay
self.text = mcrfpy.Caption(
pos=(pos[0] + 5, pos[1] + 2),
text=f"HP: {entity.hp}/{entity.max_hp}"
)
def update(self):
"""Update based on entity's current HP"""
ratio = self.entity.hp / self.entity.max_hp
self.fg.w = int(self.bg.w * ratio)
self.text.text = f"HP: {self.entity.hp}/{self.entity.max_hp}"
# Color changes at low health
if ratio < 0.25:
self.fg.fill_color = mcrfpy.Color(196, 16, 16) # Red
elif ratio < 0.5:
self.fg.fill_color = mcrfpy.Color(196, 196, 16) # Yellow
```
#### 2. Message Log
```python
class MessageLog:
"""Scrolling message log for combat feedback"""
def __init__(self, pos=(10, 600), size=(400, 120), max_messages=6):
self.frame = mcrfpy.Frame(pos=pos, size=size)
self.messages = [] # List of (text, color) tuples
self.captions = [] # Pre-allocated Caption pool
def add_message(self, text, color=None):
"""Add message with optional color"""
# Handle duplicate detection (x2, x3, etc.)
# Update caption display
```
#### 3. Color System
```python
class Colors:
# Combat colors
PLAYER_ATTACK = mcrfpy.Color(224, 224, 224)
ENEMY_ATTACK = mcrfpy.Color(255, 192, 192)
PLAYER_DEATH = mcrfpy.Color(255, 48, 48)
ENEMY_DEATH = mcrfpy.Color(255, 160, 48)
HEALTH_RECOVERED = mcrfpy.Color(0, 255, 0)
```
### UI Layout
- Health bar at bottom of screen
- Message log above health bar
- Direct binding to entity attributes
- Real-time updates during gameplay
---
## Part 8: Items and Inventory
### Overview
Implement items as entities, inventory management, and a hotbar-style UI for item usage.
### Core Components
#### 1. Item Entities
```python
class ItemEntity(mcrfpy.Entity):
"""Base class for pickupable items"""
def __init__(self, x, y, name, sprite, **kwargs):
kwargs['sprite_index'] = sprite
super().__init__(x=x, y=y, **kwargs)
self.item_name = name
self.blocks_movement = False
self.item_type = "generic"
class HealingPotion(ItemEntity):
"""Consumable healing item"""
def __init__(self, x, y, healing_amount=4):
super().__init__(x, y, "Healing Potion", sprite=33)
self.healing_amount = healing_amount
self.item_type = "consumable"
def use(self, user):
"""Use the potion - returns (success, message)"""
if hasattr(user, 'hp'):
healed = min(self.healing_amount, user.max_hp - user.hp)
if healed > 0:
user.hp += healed
return True, f"You heal {healed} HP!"
```
#### 2. Inventory System
```python
class InventoryMixin:
"""Mixin for entities with inventory"""
def __init__(self, *args, capacity=10, **kwargs):
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.inventory = []
self.inventory_capacity = capacity
def pickup_item(self, item):
"""Pick up an item entity"""
if len(self.inventory) >= self.inventory_capacity:
return False, "Inventory full!"
self.inventory.append(item)
item.die() # Remove from grid
return True, f"Picked up {item.item_name}."
```
#### 3. Inventory UI
```python
class InventoryDisplay:
"""Hotbar-style inventory display"""
def __init__(self, entity, pos=(200, 700), slots=10):
# Create slot frames and sprites
# Number keys 1-9, 0 for slots
# Highlight selected slot
# Update based on entity.inventory
```
### Key Features
- Items exist as entities on the grid
- Direct inventory attribute on player
- Hotkey-based usage (1-9, 0)
- Visual hotbar display
- Item effects (healing, future: damage boost, etc.)
---
## Implementation Timeline
### Tuesday Morning (Priority 1: Core Systems)
1. **8:00-9:30**: Implement CombatEntity and entity types
2. **9:30-10:30**: Add combat to bump interactions
3. **10:30-11:30**: Basic health display (text or simple bar)
4. **11:30-12:00**: ItemEntity and pickup system
### Tuesday Afternoon (Priority 2: Integration)
1. **1:00-2:00**: Message log implementation
2. **2:00-3:00**: Full health bar with colors
3. **3:00-4:00**: Inventory UI (hotbar)
4. **4:00-5:00**: Testing and bug fixes
### Tuesday Evening (Priority 3: Polish)

---
## Testing Strategy
### Automated Tests
```python
# tests/test_part6_combat.py
- Test damage calculation
- Test death mechanics
- Test combat messages
# tests/test_part7_ui.py
- Test health bar updates
- Test message log scrolling
- Test color system
# tests/test_part8_inventory.py
- Test item pickup/drop
- Test inventory capacity
- Test item usage
```
### Visual Tests
- Screenshot combat states
- Verify UI element positioning
- Check animation smoothness
---
## File Structure
```
roguelike_tutorial/
├── part_6.py # Combat implementation
├── part_7.py # UI enhancements
├── part_8.py # Inventory system
├── combat.py # Shared combat utilities
├── ui_components.py # Reusable UI classes
├── colors.py # Color definitions
└── items.py # Item definitions
```
---
## Risk Mitigation
### Potential Issues
1. **Performance**: Many UI updates per frame
- Solution: Update only on state changes
2. **Entity Collection Bugs**: Known segfault issues
- Solution: Use index-based access when needed
3. **Animation Timing**: Complex with turn-based combat
- Solution: Queue animations, process sequentially
### Fallback Options
1. Start with console messages, add UI later
2. Simple health numbers before bars
3. Basic inventory list before hotbar
---
## Success Criteria
### Part 6
- [x] Entities can have HP and take damage
- [x] Death changes sprite and walkability
- [x] Combat messages appear
- [x] Player can kill enemies
### Part 7
- [x] Health bar shows current/max HP
- [x] Messages appear in scrolling log
- [x] Colors differentiate message types
- [x] UI updates in real-time
### Part 8
- [x] Items can be picked up
- [x] Inventory has capacity limit
- [x] Items can be used/consumed
- [x] Hotbar shows inventory items
---
## Notes for Implementation
1. **Keep It Simple**: Start with minimum viable features
2. **Build Incrementally**: Test each component before integrating
3. **Use Part 5**: Leverage existing entity interaction system
4. **Document Well**: Clear comments for tutorial purposes
5. **Visual Feedback**: McRogueFace excels at animations - use them!
---
## Comparison with Original Tutorial
### What We Keep
- Same combat formula (power - defense)
- Same entity stats (Player, Orc, Troll)
- Same item types (healing potions to start)
- Same UI elements (health bar, message log)
### What's Different
- Direct inheritance instead of components
- Integrated animations and visual effects
- Hotbar inventory instead of menu
- Built-in sound support
- Cleaner architecture overall
### What's Better
- More Pythonic with real inheritance
- Better visual feedback
- Smoother animations
- Simpler to understand
- Leverages McRogueFace's strengths
---
## Conclusion
This implementation plan leverages McRogueFace's support for Python entity inheritance to create a clean, intuitive tutorial series. By using direct attributes instead of components, we simplify the architecture while maintaining all the functionality of the original tutorial. The addition of animations, sound effects, and rich UI elements showcases McRogueFace's capabilities while keeping the code beginner-friendly.
The Tuesday delivery timeline is aggressive but achievable by focusing on core functionality first, then integration, then polish. The modular design allows for easy testing and incremental development.

# Simple TCOD Tutorial Part 1 - Drawing the player sprite and moving it around
This is Part 1 of the Simple TCOD Tutorial adapted for McRogueFace. It implements the sophisticated, refactored TCOD tutorial approach with professional architecture from day one.
## Running the Code
From your tutorial build directory (separate from the engine development build):
```bash
cd simple_tcod_tutorial/build
./mcrogueface scripts/main.py
```
Note: The `scripts` folder should be a symlink to your `simple_tcod_tutorial` directory.
## Architecture Overview
### Package Structure
```
simple_tcod_tutorial/
├── main.py # Entry point - ties everything together
├── game/ # Game package with proper separation
│ ├── __init__.py
│ ├── entity.py # Entity class - all game objects
│ ├── engine.py # Engine class - game coordinator
│ ├── actions.py # Action classes - command pattern
│ └── input_handlers.py # Input handling - extensible system
```
### Key Concepts Demonstrated
1. **Entity-Centric Design**
- Everything in the game is an Entity
- Entities have position, appearance, and behavior
- Designed to scale to items, NPCs, and effects
2. **Action-Based Command Pattern**
- All player actions are Action objects
- Separates input from game logic
- Enables undo, replay, and AI using same system
3. **Professional Input Handling**
- BaseEventHandler for different input contexts
- Complete movement key support (arrows, numpad, vi, WASD)
- Ready for menus, targeting, and other modes
4. **Engine as Coordinator**
- Manages game state without becoming a god object
- Delegates to appropriate systems
- Clean boundaries between systems
5. **Type Safety**
- Full type annotations throughout
- Forward references with TYPE_CHECKING
- Modern Python best practices
## Differences from Vanilla McRogueFace Tutorial
### Removed
- Animation system (instant movement instead)
- Complex UI elements (focus on core mechanics)
- Real-time features (pure turn-based)
- Visual effects (camera following, smooth scrolling)
- Entity color property (sprites handle appearance)
### Added
- Complete movement key support
- Professional architecture patterns
- Proper package structure
- Type annotations
- Action-based design
- Extensible handler system
- Proper exit handling (Escape/Q actually quits)
### Adapted
- Grid rendering with proper centering
- Simplified entity system (position + sprite ID)
- Using simple_tutorial.png sprite sheet (12 sprites)
- Floor tiles using ground sprites (indices 1 and 2)
- Direct sprite indices instead of character mapping
## Learning Objectives
Students completing Part 1 will understand:
- How to structure a game project professionally
- The value of entity-centric design
- Command pattern for game actions
- Input handling that scales to complex UIs
- Type-driven development in Python
- Architecture that grows without refactoring
## What's Next
Part 2 will add:
- The GameMap class for world representation
- Tile-based movement and collision
- Multiple entities in the world
- Basic terrain (walls and floors)
- Rendering order for entities
The architecture we've built in Part 1 makes these additions natural and painless, demonstrating the value of starting with good patterns.

# Simple TCOD Tutorial Part 2 - The generic Entity, the map, and walls
This is Part 2 of the Simple TCOD Tutorial adapted for McRogueFace. Building on Part 1's foundation, we now introduce proper world representation and collision detection.
## Running the Code
From your tutorial build directory:
```bash
cd simple_tcod_tutorial/build
./mcrogueface scripts/main.py
```
## New Architecture Components
### GameMap Class (`game/game_map.py`)
The GameMap inherits from `mcrfpy.Grid` and adds:
- **Tile Management**: Uses Grid's built-in point system with walkable property
- **Entity Container**: Manages entity lifecycle with `add_entity()` and `remove_entity()`
- **Spatial Queries**: `get_entities_at()`, `get_blocking_entity_at()`, `is_walkable()`
- **Direct Integration**: Leverages Grid's walkable and tilesprite properties
### Tiles System (`game/tiles.py`)
- **Simple Tile Types**: Using NamedTuple for clean tile definitions
- **Tile Types**: Floor (walkable) and Wall (blocks movement)
- **Grid Integration**: Maps directly to Grid point properties
- **Future-Ready**: Includes transparency for FOV system in Part 4
### Entity Placement System
- **Bidirectional References**: Entities know their map, maps track their entities
- **`place()` Method**: Handles all bookkeeping when entities move between maps
- **Lifecycle Management**: Automatic cleanup when entities leave maps
## Key Changes from Part 1
### Engine Updates
- Replaced direct grid management with GameMap
- Engine creates and configures the GameMap
- Player is placed using the new `place()` method
### Movement System
- MovementAction now checks `is_walkable()` before moving
- Collision detection for both walls and blocking entities
- Clean separation between validation and execution
### Visual Changes
- Walls rendered as trees (sprite index 3)
- Border of walls around the map edge
- Floor tiles still use alternating pattern
## Architectural Benefits
### McRogueFace Integration
- **No NumPy Dependency**: Uses Grid's native tile management
- **Direct Walkability**: Grid points have built-in walkable property
- **Unified System**: Visual and logical tile data in one place
### Separation of Concerns
- **GameMap**: Knows about tiles and spatial relationships
- **Engine**: Coordinates high-level game state
- **Entity**: Manages its own lifecycle through `place()`
- **Actions**: Validate their own preconditions
### Extensibility
- Easy to add new tile types
- Simple to implement different map generation
- Ready for FOV, pathfinding, and complex queries
- Entity system scales to items and NPCs
### Type Safety
- TYPE_CHECKING imports prevent circular dependencies
- Proper type hints throughout
- Forward references maintain clean architecture
## What's Next
Part 3 will add:
- Procedural dungeon generation
- Room and corridor creation
- Multiple entities in the world
- Foundation for enemy placement
The architecture established in Part 2 makes these additions straightforward, demonstrating the value of proper design from the beginning.

# Simple TCOD Tutorial Part 3 - Generating a dungeon
This is Part 3 of the Simple TCOD Tutorial adapted for McRogueFace. We now add procedural dungeon generation to create interesting, playable levels.
## Running the Code
From your tutorial build directory:
```bash
cd simple_tcod_tutorial/build
./mcrogueface scripts/main.py
```
## New Features
### Procedural Generation Module (`game/procgen.py`)
This dedicated module demonstrates separation of concerns - dungeon generation logic is kept separate from the game map implementation.
#### RectangularRoom Class
- **Clean Abstraction**: Represents a room with position and dimensions
- **Utility Properties**:
- `center` - Returns room center for connections
- `inner` - Returns slice objects for efficient carving
- **Intersection Detection**: `intersects()` method prevents overlapping rooms
#### Tunnel Generation
- **L-Shaped Corridors**: Simple but effective connection method
- **Iterator Pattern**: `tunnel_between()` yields coordinates efficiently
- **Random Variation**: 50/50 chance of horizontal-first vs vertical-first
#### Dungeon Generation Algorithm
```python
def generate_dungeon(max_rooms, room_min_size, room_max_size,
map_width, map_height, engine) -> GameMap:
```
- **Simple Algorithm**: Try to place random rooms, reject overlaps
- **Automatic Connection**: Each room connects to the previous one
- **Player Placement**: First room contains the player
- **Entity-Centric**: Uses `player.place()` for proper lifecycle
## Architecture Benefits
### Modular Design
- Generation logic separate from GameMap
- Easy to swap algorithms later
- Room class reusable for other features
### Forward Thinking
- Engine parameter anticipates entity spawning
- Room list available for future features
- Iterator-based tunnel generation is memory efficient
### Clean Integration
- Works seamlessly with existing entity placement
- Respects GameMap's tile management
- No special cases or hacks needed
## Visual Changes
- Map size increased to 80x45 for better dungeons
- Zoom reduced to 1.0 to see more of the map
- Random room layouts each time
- Connected rooms and corridors
## Algorithm Details
The generation follows these steps:
1. Start with a map filled with walls
2. Try to place up to `max_rooms` rooms
3. For each room attempt:
- Generate random size and position
- Check for intersections with existing rooms
- If valid, carve out the room
- Connect to previous room (if any)
4. Place player in center of first room
This simple algorithm creates playable dungeons while being easy to understand and modify.
## What's Next
Part 4 will add:
- Field of View (FOV) system
- Explored vs unexplored areas
- Light and dark tile rendering
- Torch radius around player
The modular dungeon generation makes it easy to add these visual features without touching the generation code.

# Part 4: Field of View and Exploration
## Overview
Part 4 introduces the Field of View (FOV) system, transforming our fully-visible dungeon into an atmospheric exploration experience. We leverage McRogueFace's built-in FOV capabilities and perspective system for efficient rendering.
## What's New in Part 4
### Field of View System
- **FOV Calculation**: Using `Grid.compute_fov()` with configurable radius
- **Perspective System**: Grid tracks which entity is the viewer
- **Visibility States**: Unexplored (black), explored (dark), visible (lit)
- **Automatic Updates**: FOV recalculates on player movement
### Implementation Details
#### FOV with McRogueFace's Grid
Unlike TCOD which uses numpy arrays for visibility tracking, McRogueFace's Grid has built-in FOV support:
```python
# In GameMap.update_fov()
self.compute_fov(viewer_x, viewer_y, radius, light_walls=True, algorithm=mcrfpy.FOV_BASIC)
```
The Grid automatically:
- Tracks which tiles have been explored
- Applies appropriate color overlays (shroud, dark, light)
- Updates entity visibility based on FOV
#### Perspective System
McRogueFace uses a perspective-based rendering approach:
```python
# Set the viewer
self.game_map.perspective = self.player
# Grid automatically renders from this entity's viewpoint
```
This is more efficient than manually updating tile colors every turn.
#### Color Overlays
We define overlay colors but let the Grid handle application:
```python
# In tiles.py
SHROUD = mcrfpy.Color(0, 0, 0, 255) # Unexplored
DARK = mcrfpy.Color(100, 100, 150, 128) # Explored but not visible
LIGHT = mcrfpy.Color(255, 255, 255, 0) # Currently visible
```
### Key Differences from TCOD
| TCOD Approach | McRogueFace Approach |
|---------------|----------------------|
| `visible` and `explored` numpy arrays | Grid's built-in FOV state |
| Manual tile color switching | Automatic overlay system |
| `tcod.map.compute_fov()` | `Grid.compute_fov()` |
| Render conditionals for each tile | Perspective-based rendering |
### Movement and FOV Updates
The action system now updates FOV after player movement:
```python
# In MovementAction.perform()
if self.entity == engine.player:
engine.update_fov()
```
## Architecture Notes
### Why Grid Perspective?
The perspective system provides several benefits:
1. **Efficiency**: No per-tile color updates needed
2. **Flexibility**: Easy to switch viewpoints (for debugging or features)
3. **Automatic**: Grid handles all rendering details
4. **Clean**: Separates game logic from rendering concerns
### Entity Visibility
Entities automatically update their visibility state:
```python
# After FOV calculation
self.player.update_visibility()
```
This ensures entities are only rendered when visible to the current perspective.
## Files Modified
- `game/tiles.py`: Added FOV color overlay constants
- `game/game_map.py`: Added `update_fov()` method
- `game/engine.py`: Added FOV initialization and update method
- `game/actions.py`: Update FOV after player movement
- `main.py`: Updated part description
## What's Next
Part 5 will add enemies to our dungeon, introducing:
- Enemy entities with AI
- Combat system
- Turn-based gameplay
- Health and damage
The FOV system will make enemies appear and disappear as you explore, adding tension and strategy to the gameplay.
## Learning Points
1. **Leverage Framework Features**: Use McRogueFace's built-in systems rather than reimplementing
2. **Perspective-Based Design**: Think in terms of viewpoints, not global state
3. **Automatic Systems**: Let the framework handle rendering details
4. **Clean Integration**: FOV updates fit naturally into the action system
## Running Part 4
```bash
cd simple_tcod_tutorial/build
./mcrogueface scripts/main.py
```
You'll now see:
- Black unexplored areas
- Dark blue tint on previously seen areas
- Full brightness only in your field of view
- Smooth exploration as you move through the dungeon

# Part 5: Placing Enemies and Fighting Them
## Overview
Part 5 brings our dungeon to life with enemies! We add rats and spiders that populate the rooms, implement a combat system with melee attacks, and handle entity death by turning creatures into gravestones.
## What's New in Part 5
### Actor System
- **Actor Class**: Extends Entity with combat stats (HP, defense, power)
- **Combat Properties**: Health tracking, damage calculation, alive status
- **Death Handling**: Entities become gravestones when killed
### Enemy Types
Using our sprite sheet, we have two enemy types:
- **Rat** (sprite 5): 10 HP, 0 defense, 3 power - Common enemy
- **Spider** (sprite 4): 16 HP, 1 defense, 4 power - Tougher enemy
### Combat System
#### Bump-to-Attack
When the player tries to move into an enemy:
```python
# In MovementAction.perform()
target = engine.game_map.get_blocking_entity_at(dest_x, dest_y)
if target:
if self.entity == engine.player:
from game.entity import Actor
if isinstance(target, Actor) and target != engine.player:
return MeleeAction(self.entity, self.dx, self.dy).perform(engine)
```
#### Damage Calculation
Simple formula with defense reduction:
```python
damage = attacker.power - target.defense
```
#### Death System
Dead entities become gravestones:
```python
def die(self) -> None:
"""Handle death by becoming a gravestone."""
self.sprite_index = 6 # Tombstone sprite
self.blocks_movement = False
self.name = f"Grave of {self.name}"
```
### Entity Factories
Factory functions create pre-configured entities:
```python
def rat(x: int, y: int, texture: mcrfpy.Texture) -> Actor:
return Actor(
x=x, y=y,
sprite_id=5, # Rat sprite
texture=texture,
name="Rat",
hp=10, defense=0, power=3,
)
```
### Dungeon Population
Enemies are placed randomly in rooms:
```python
def place_entities(room, dungeon, max_monsters, texture):
number_of_monsters = random.randint(0, max_monsters)
for _ in range(number_of_monsters):
x = random.randint(room.x1 + 1, room.x2 - 1)
y = random.randint(room.y1 + 1, room.y2 - 1)
if not any(entity.x == x and entity.y == y for entity in dungeon.entities):
# 80% rats, 20% spiders
if random.random() < 0.8:
monster = entity_factories.rat(x, y, texture)
else:
monster = entity_factories.spider(x, y, texture)
monster.place(x, y, dungeon)
```
## Key Implementation Details
### FOV and Enemy Visibility
Enemies are automatically shown/hidden by the FOV system:
```python
def update_fov(self) -> None:
# Update visibility for all entities
for entity in self.game_map.entities:
entity.update_visibility()
```
### Action System Extension
The action system now handles combat:
- **MovementAction**: Detects collision, triggers attack
- **MeleeAction**: New action for melee combat
- Actions remain decoupled from entity logic
### Gravestone System
Instead of removing dead entities:
- Sprite changes to tombstone (index 6)
- Name changes to "Grave of [Name]"
- No longer blocks movement
- Remains visible as dungeon decoration
## Architecture Notes
### Why Actor Extends Entity?
- Maintains entity hierarchy
- Combat stats only for creatures
- Future items/decorations won't have HP
- Clean separation of concerns
### Why Factory Functions?
- Centralized entity configuration
- Easy to add new enemy types
- Consistent stat management
- Type-safe entity creation
### Combat in Actions
Combat logic lives in actions, not entities:
- Entities store stats
- Actions perform combat
- Clean separation of data and behavior
- Extensible for future combat types
## Files Modified
- `game/entity.py`: Added Actor class with combat stats and death handling
- `game/entity_factories.py`: New module with entity creation functions
- `game/actions.py`: Added MeleeAction for combat
- `game/procgen.py`: Added enemy placement in rooms
- `game/engine.py`: Updated to use Actor type and handle all entity visibility
- `main.py`: Updated to use entity factories and Part 5 description
## What's Next
Part 6 will enhance the combat experience with:
- Health display UI
- Game over conditions
- Combat messages window
- More strategic combat mechanics
## Learning Points
1. **Entity Specialization**: Use inheritance to add features to specific entity types
2. **Factory Pattern**: Centralize object creation for consistency
3. **State Transformation**: Dead entities become decorations, not deletions
4. **Action Extensions**: Combat fits naturally into the action system
5. **Automatic Systems**: FOV handles entity visibility without special code
## Running Part 5
```bash
cd simple_tcod_tutorial/build
./mcrogueface scripts/main.py
```
You'll now encounter rats and spiders as you explore! Walk into them to attack. Dead enemies become gravestones that mark your battles.
## Sprite Adaptations
Following our sprite sheet (`sprite_sheet.md`), we made these thematic changes:
- Orcs → Rats (same stats, different sprite)
- Trolls → Spiders (same stats, different sprite)
- Corpses → Gravestones (all use same tombstone sprite)
The gameplay remains identical to the TCOD tutorial, just with different visual theming.

# Part 6: Doing (and Taking) Damage
## Overview
Part 6 transforms our basic combat into a complete gameplay loop with visual feedback, enemy AI, and win/lose conditions. We add a health bar, message log, enemy AI that pursues the player, and proper game over handling.
## What's New in Part 6
### User Interface Components
#### Health Bar
A visual representation of the player's current health:
```python
class HealthBar:
def create_ui(self) -> List[mcrfpy.UIDrawable]:
# Dark red background
self.background = mcrfpy.Frame(pos=(x, y), size=(width, height))
self.background.fill_color = mcrfpy.Color(100, 0, 0, 255)
# Bright colored bar (green/yellow/red based on HP)
self.bar = mcrfpy.Frame(pos=(x, y), size=(width, height))
# Text overlay showing HP numbers
self.text = mcrfpy.Caption(pos=(x+5, y+2),
text=f"HP: {hp}/{max_hp}")
```
The bar changes color based on health percentage:
- Green (>60% health)
- Yellow (30-60% health)
- Red (<30% health)
#### Message Log
A scrolling combat log that replaces console print statements:
```python
class MessageLog:
def __init__(self, max_messages: int = 5):
self.messages: deque[str] = deque(maxlen=max_messages)
def add_message(self, message: str) -> None:
self.messages.append(message)
self.update_display()
```
Messages include:
- Combat actions ("Rat attacks Player for 3 hit points.")
- Death notifications ("Spider is dead!")
- Game state changes ("You have died! Press Escape to quit.")
### Enemy AI System
#### Basic AI Component
Enemies now actively pursue and attack the player:
```python
class BasicAI:
def take_turn(self, engine: Engine) -> None:
distance = max(abs(dx), abs(dy)) # Chebyshev distance
if distance <= 1:
# Adjacent: Attack!
MeleeAction(self.entity, attack_dx, attack_dy).perform(engine)
elif distance <= 6:
# Can see player: Move closer
MovementAction(self.entity, move_dx, move_dy).perform(engine)
```
#### Turn-Based System
After each player action, all enemies take their turn:
```python
def handle_enemy_turns(self) -> None:
for entity in self.game_map.entities:
if isinstance(entity, Actor) and entity.ai and entity.is_alive:
entity.ai.take_turn(self)
```
### Game Over Condition
When the player dies:
1. Game state flag is set (`engine.game_over = True`)
2. Player becomes a gravestone (sprite changes)
3. Input is restricted (only Escape works)
4. Death message appears in the message log
```python
def handle_player_death(self) -> None:
self.game_over = True
self.message_log.add_message("You have died! Press Escape to quit.")
```
## Architecture Improvements
### UI Module (`game/ui.py`)
Separates UI concerns from game logic:
- `MessageLog`: Manages combat messages
- `HealthBar`: Displays player health
- Clean interface for updating displays
### AI Module (`game/ai.py`)
Encapsulates enemy behavior:
- `BasicAI`: Simple pursue-and-attack behavior
- Extensible for different AI types
- Uses existing action system
### Turn Management
Player actions trigger enemy turns:
- Movement → Enemy turns
- Attack → Enemy turns
- Wait → Enemy turns
- Maintains turn-based feel
## Key Implementation Details
### UI Updates
Health bar updates occur:
- After player takes damage
- Automatically via `engine.update_ui()`
- Color changes based on HP percentage
### Message Flow
Combat messages follow this pattern:
1. Action generates message text
2. `engine.message_log.add_message(text)`
3. Message appears in UI Caption
4. Old messages scroll up
### AI Decision Making
Basic AI uses simple rules:
1. Check if player is adjacent → Attack
2. Check if player is visible (within 6 tiles) → Move toward
3. Otherwise → Do nothing
### Game State Management
The `game_over` flag prevents:
- Player movement
- Player attacks
- Player waiting
- But allows Escape to quit
## Files Modified
- `game/ui.py`: New module for UI components
- `game/ai.py`: New module for enemy AI
- `game/engine.py`: Added UI setup, enemy turns, game over handling
- `game/entity.py`: Added AI component to Actor
- `game/entity_factories.py`: Attached AI to enemies
- `game/actions.py`: Integrated message log, added enemy turn triggers
- `main.py`: Updated part description
## What's Next
Part 7 will expand the user interface further with:
- More detailed entity inspection
- Possibly inventory display
- Additional UI panels
- Mouse interaction
## Learning Points
1. **UI Separation**: Keep UI logic separate from game logic
2. **Component Systems**: AI as a component allows different behaviors
3. **Turn-Based Flow**: Player action → Enemy reactions creates tactical gameplay
4. **Visual Feedback**: Health bars and message logs improve player understanding
5. **State Management**: Game over flag controls available actions
## Running Part 6
```bash
cd simple_tcod_tutorial/build
./mcrogueface scripts/main.py
```
You'll now see:
- Health bar at the top showing your current HP
- Message log at the bottom showing combat events
- Enemies that chase you when you're nearby
- Enemies that attack when adjacent
- Death state when HP reaches 0
## Combat Strategy
With enemy AI active, combat becomes more tactical:
- Enemies pursue when they see you
- Fighting in corridors limits how many can attack
- Running away is sometimes the best option
- Health management becomes critical
The game now has a complete combat loop with clear win/lose conditions!

# Part 7: Creating the User Interface
## Overview
Part 7 significantly enhances the user interface, transforming our roguelike from a basic game into a more polished experience. We add mouse interaction, help displays, information panels, and better visual feedback systems.
## What's New in Part 7
### Mouse Interaction
#### Click-to-Inspect System
Since McRogueFace doesn't have mouse motion events, we use click events to show entity information:
```python
def grid_click_handler(pixel_x, pixel_y, button, state):
# Convert pixel coordinates to grid coordinates
grid_x = int(pixel_x / (self.tile_size * self.zoom))
grid_y = int(pixel_y / (self.tile_size * self.zoom))
# Update hover display for this position
self.update_mouse_hover(grid_x, grid_y)
```
Click displays show:
- Entity names
- Current HP for living creatures
- Multiple entities if stacked (e.g., "Grave of Rat")
#### Mouse Handler Registration
The click handler is registered as a local function to avoid issues with bound methods:
```python
# Use a local function instead of a bound method
self.game_map.click = grid_click_handler
```
### Help System
#### Toggle Help Display
Press `?`, `H`, or `F1` to show/hide help:
```python
class HelpDisplay:
def toggle(self) -> None:
self.visible = not self.visible
self.panel.frame.visible = self.visible
```
The help panel includes:
- Movement controls for all input methods
- Combat instructions
- Mouse usage tips
- Gameplay strategies
### Information Panels
#### Player Stats Panel
Always-visible panel showing:
- Player name
- Current/Max HP
- Power and Defense stats
- Current grid position
```python
class InfoPanel:
def create_ui(self, title: str) -> List[mcrfpy.Drawable]:
# Semi-transparent background frame
self.frame = mcrfpy.Frame(pos=(x, y), size=(width, height))
self.frame.fill_color = mcrfpy.Color(20, 20, 40, 200)
# Title and content captions as children
self.frame.children.append(self.title_caption)
self.frame.children.append(self.content_caption)
```
#### Reusable Panel System
The `InfoPanel` class provides:
- Titled panels with borders
- Semi-transparent backgrounds
- Easy content updates
- Consistent visual style
### Enhanced UI Components
#### MouseHoverDisplay Class
Manages tooltip-style hover information:
- Follows mouse position
- Shows/hides automatically
- Offset to avoid cursor overlap
- Multiple entity support
#### UI Module Organization
Clean separation of UI components:
- `MessageLog`: Combat messages
- `HealthBar`: HP visualization
- `MouseHoverDisplay`: Entity inspection
- `InfoPanel`: Generic information display
- `HelpDisplay`: Keyboard controls
## Architecture Improvements
### UI Composition
Using McRogueFace's parent-child system:
```python
# Add caption as child of frame
self.frame.children.append(self.text_caption)
```
Benefits:
- Automatic relative positioning
- Group visibility control
- Clean hierarchy
### Event Handler Extensions
Input handler now manages:
- Keyboard input (existing)
- Mouse motion (new)
- Mouse clicks (prepared for future)
- UI toggles (help display)
### Dynamic Content Updates
All UI elements support real-time updates:
```python
def update_stats_panel(self) -> None:
stats_text = f"""Name: {self.player.name}
HP: {self.player.hp}/{self.player.max_hp}
Power: {self.player.power}
Defense: {self.player.defense}"""
self.stats_panel.update_content(stats_text)
```
## Key Implementation Details
### Mouse Coordinate Conversion
Pixel to grid conversion:
```python
grid_x = int(x / (self.engine.tile_size * self.engine.zoom))
grid_y = int(y / (self.engine.tile_size * self.engine.zoom))
```
### Visibility Management
UI elements can be toggled:
- Help panel starts hidden
- Mouse hover hides when not over entities
- Panels can be shown/hidden dynamically
### Color and Transparency
UI uses semi-transparent overlays:
- Panel backgrounds: `Color(20, 20, 40, 200)`
- Hover tooltips: `Color(255, 255, 200, 255)`
- Borders and outlines for readability
## Files Modified
- `game/ui.py`: Added MouseHoverDisplay, InfoPanel, HelpDisplay classes
- `game/engine.py`: Integrated new UI components, mouse hover handling
- `game/input_handlers.py`: Added mouse motion handling, help toggle
- `main.py`: Registered mouse handlers, updated part description
## What's Next
Part 8 will add items and inventory:
- Collectible items (potions, equipment)
- Inventory management UI
- Item usage mechanics
- Equipment system
## Learning Points
1. **UI Composition**: Use parent-child relationships for complex UI
2. **Event Delegation**: Separate input handling from UI updates
3. **Information Layers**: Multiple UI systems can coexist (hover, panels, help)
4. **Visual Polish**: Small touches like transparency and borders improve UX
5. **Reusable Components**: Generic panels can be specialized for different uses
## Running Part 7
```bash
cd simple_tcod_tutorial/build
./mcrogueface scripts/main.py
```
New features to try:
- Click on entities to see their details
- Press ? or H to toggle help display
- Watch the stats panel update as you take damage
- See entity HP in hover tooltips
- Notice the visual polish in UI panels
## UI Design Principles
### Consistency
- All panels use similar visual style
- Consistent color scheme
- Uniform text sizing
### Non-Intrusive
- Semi-transparent panels don't block view
- Hover info appears near cursor
- Help can be toggled off
### Information Hierarchy
- Critical info (health) always visible
- Contextual info (hover) on demand
- Help info toggleable
The UI now provides a professional feel while maintaining the roguelike aesthetic!

# Part 8: Items and Inventory
## Overview
Part 8 transforms our roguelike into a proper loot-driven game by adding items that can be collected, managed, and used. We implement a flexible inventory system with capacity limits, create consumable items like healing potions, and build UI for inventory management.
## What's New in Part 8
### Parent-Child Entity Architecture
#### Flexible Entity Ownership
Entities now have parent containers, allowing them to exist in different contexts:
```python
class Entity(mcrfpy.Entity):
def __init__(self, parent: Optional[Union[GameMap, Inventory]] = None):
self.parent = parent
@property
def gamemap(self) -> Optional[GameMap]:
"""Get the GameMap through the parent chain"""
if isinstance(self.parent, Inventory):
return self.parent.gamemap
return self.parent
```
Benefits:
- Items can exist in the world or in inventories
- Clean ownership transfer when picking up/dropping
- Automatic visibility management
### Inventory System
#### Container-Based Design
The inventory acts like a specialized entity container:
```python
class Inventory:
def __init__(self, capacity: int):
self.capacity = capacity
self.items: List[Item] = []
self.parent: Optional[Actor] = None
def add_item(self, item: Item) -> None:
if len(self.items) >= self.capacity:
raise Impossible("Your inventory is full.")
# Transfer ownership
self.items.append(item)
item.parent = self
item.visible = False # Hide from map
```
Features:
- Capacity limits (26 items for letter selection)
- Clean item transfer between world and inventory
- Automatic visual management
### Item System
#### Item Entity Class
Items are entities with consumable components:
```python
class Item(Entity):
def __init__(self, consumable: Optional = None):
super().__init__(blocks_movement=False)
self.consumable = consumable
if consumable:
consumable.parent = self
```
#### Consumable Components
Modular system for item effects:
```python
class HealingConsumable(Consumable):
def activate(self, action: ItemAction) -> None:
if consumer.hp >= consumer.max_hp:
raise Impossible("You are already at full health.")
amount_recovered = min(self.amount, consumer.max_hp - consumer.hp)
consumer.hp += amount_recovered
self.consume() # Remove item after use
```
### Exception-Driven Feedback
#### Clean Error Handling
Using exceptions for user feedback:
```python
class Impossible(Exception):
"""Action cannot be performed"""
pass
class PickupAction(Action):
def perform(self, engine: Engine) -> None:
if not items_here:
raise Impossible("There is nothing here to pick up.")
try:
inventory.add_item(item)
engine.message_log.add_message(f"You picked up the {item.name}!")
except Impossible as e:
engine.message_log.add_message(str(e))
```
Benefits:
- Consistent error messaging
- Clean control flow
- Centralized feedback handling
### Inventory UI
#### Modal Inventory Screen
Interactive inventory management:
```python
class InventoryEventHandler(BaseEventHandler):
def create_ui(self) -> None:
# Semi-transparent background
self.background = mcrfpy.Frame(pos=(100, 100), size=(400, 400))
self.background.fill_color = mcrfpy.Color(0, 0, 0, 200)
# List items with letter keys
for i, item in enumerate(inventory.items):
item_caption = mcrfpy.Caption(
pos=(20, 80 + i * 20),
text=f"{chr(ord('a') + i)}) {item.name}"
)
```
Features:
- Letter-based selection (a-z)
- Separate handlers for use/drop
- ESC to cancel
- Visual feedback
### Enhanced Actions
#### Item Actions
New actions for item management:
```python
class PickupAction(Action):
"""Pick up items at current location"""
class ItemAction(Action):
"""Base for item usage actions"""
class DropAction(ItemAction):
"""Drop item from inventory"""
```
Each action:
- Self-validates
- Provides feedback
- Triggers enemy turns
## Architecture Improvements
### Component Relationships
Parent-based component system:
```python
# Components know their parent
consumable.parent = item
item.parent = inventory
inventory.parent = actor
actor.parent = gamemap
gamemap.engine = engine
```
Benefits:
- Access to game context from any component
- Clean ownership transfer
- Simplified entity lifecycle
### Input Handler States
Modal UI through handler switching:
```python
# Main game
engine.current_handler = MainGameEventHandler(engine)
# Open inventory
engine.current_handler = InventoryActivateHandler(engine)
# Back to game
engine.current_handler = MainGameEventHandler(engine)
```
### Entity Lifecycle Management
Proper creation and cleanup:
```python
# Item spawning
item = entity_factories.health_potion(x, y, texture)
item.place(x, y, dungeon)
# Pickup
inventory.add_item(item) # Removes from map
# Drop
inventory.drop(item) # Returns to map
# Death
actor.die() # Drops all items
```
## Key Implementation Details
### Visibility Management
Items hide/show based on container:
```python
def add_item(self, item):
item.visible = False # Hide when in inventory
def drop(self, item):
item.visible = True # Show when on map
```
### Inventory Capacity
Limited to alphabet keys:
```python
if len(inventory.items) >= 26:
raise Impossible("Your inventory is full.")
```
### Item Generation
Procedural item placement:
```python
def place_entities(room, dungeon, max_monsters, max_items, texture):
# Place 0-2 items per room
number_of_items = random.randint(0, max_items)
for _ in range(number_of_items):
if space_available:
item = entity_factories.health_potion(x, y, texture)
item.place(x, y, dungeon)
```
## Files Modified
- `game/entity.py`: Added parent system, Item class, inventory to Actor
- `game/inventory.py`: New inventory container system
- `game/consumable.py`: New consumable component system
- `game/exceptions.py`: New Impossible exception
- `game/actions.py`: Added PickupAction, ItemAction, DropAction
- `game/input_handlers.py`: Added InventoryEventHandler classes
- `game/engine.py`: Added current_handler, inventory UI methods
- `game/procgen.py`: Added item generation
- `game/entity_factories.py`: Added health_potion factory
- `game/ui.py`: Updated help text with inventory controls
- `main.py`: Updated to Part 8, handler management
## What's Next
Part 9 will add ranged attacks and targeting:
- Targeting UI for selecting enemies
- Ranged damage items (lightning staff)
- Area-of-effect items (fireball staff)
- Confusion effects
## Learning Points
1. **Container Architecture**: Entity ownership through parent relationships
2. **Component Systems**: Modular, reusable components with parent references
3. **Exception Handling**: Clean error propagation and user feedback
4. **Modal UI**: State-based input handling for different screens
5. **Item Systems**: Flexible consumable architecture for varied effects
6. **Lifecycle Management**: Proper entity creation, transfer, and cleanup
## Running Part 8
```bash
cd simple_tcod_tutorial/build
./mcrogueface scripts/main.py
```
New features to try:
- Press G to pick up healing potions
- Press I to open inventory and use items
- Press O to drop items from inventory
- Heal yourself when injured in combat
- Manage limited inventory space (26 slots)
- Items drop from dead enemies
## Design Principles
### Flexibility Through Composition
- Items gain behavior through consumable components
- Easy to add new item types
- Reusable effect system
### Clean Ownership Transfer
- Entities always have clear parent
- Automatic visibility management
- No orphaned entities
### User-Friendly Feedback
- Clear error messages
- Consistent UI patterns
- Intuitive controls
The inventory system provides the foundation for equipment, spells, and complex item interactions in future parts!
