FangEngine.game_object.game_object

This module contains the base game object

Class GameObject

This is the base class for any object that can be displayed on any derivative of the ObjectBase screen

__init__(self, screen_parent: base_screen.BaseScreen, x: float, y: float, args, kwargs)

Parameter screen_parent:
Parameter x:
Parameter y:
Parameter args:
Parameter kwargs:

broadcast_message(self, message: typing.Union[list, tuple, str])

Broadcasts a message to all other objects on this screen
Parameter message: the message to send

check_collision(self)

Causes this object to check for collisions with other objects
If a collision is detected, the on_collide event of both objects will be triggered

class_name(self) -> str

Returns the name of the class

convert_coords(self, x: float, y: float) -> typing.Tuple[float, float]

Scales coordinates with respect to the the scaling of the screen
This is especially useful for interacting with the mouse directly

handle_input(self, keys: list, mouse: tuple, delta_t: float)

This event allows the handling of user input
This event is triggered every frame
Parameter keys: A list of keys and their states. The index of a key is its ASCII value (use pygame constants)
Parameter mouse: the state of the mouse buttons
Parameter delta_t: the amount of time (in seconds) that has passed since the last frame

on_click(self, pos: tuple, button: int)

on_collide(self, other: GameObject)

on_create(self, args, kwargs)

This event is triggered when this object is created
It is run once and only once

on_joystick_axis_motion(self, joystick, axis, value)

on_joystick_ball_motion(self, joystick, ball, rel)

on_joystick_button_down(self, joystick, button)

on_joystick_button_up(self, joystick, button)

on_joystick_hat_motion(self, joystick, hat, value)

on_key_down(self, unicode, key, mod)

on_key_up(self, key, mod)

on_message_receive(self, message: typing.Union[list, tuple, str], sender)

This event is run when another object on the same screen broadcasts a message
Parameter message:
Parameter sender: the sender of the message

on_mouse_button_down(self, pos, button)

on_mouse_button_up(self, pos, button)

on_mouse_motion(self, pos, rel, buttons)

on_move(self, dx: float, dy: float)

on_screen_enter(self, previous_screen: str)

on_screen_leave(self, next_screen: str)

render(self, buffer: Surface)

This event is triggered every frame
THis event should be used for drawing the object to the buffer ONLY
Use the update event for other updates
Parameter buffer: the buffer to draw to

show_dialog_box(self, box: dialog_box.DialogBox.__class__, args, kwargs)

This method causes the screen to show a dialog box
Parameter box: the class reference to the dialog box
Parameter args:
Parameter kwargs:

update(self, delta_t: float)

This event is triggered every frame. This is where the main update code should go
Parameter delta_t: the amount of time (in seconds) that has passed since the last frame
