[PyDev] Project 3

Help McGyver to escape!

---

Summary

Imagine a 2D labyrinth in which McGyver would have been locked up. The exit is watched over by a bodyguard. To distract him, you need to combine the following elements dispersed in the labyrinth:

• a needle
• a small plastic tube
• ether

They'll allow McGyver to create a syringe and put our guard asleep.

Features

• One level. The structure (departure, location of the walls, arrival), should be saved in a file to easily modify it if necessary.
• McGyver will be controlled by the directional keys on the keyboard.
• The objects will be randomly distributed in the maze and will change locations if the user closes the game and raises it.
• The game window will be a square of 15 sprites length.
• McGyver will have to move from square to square, with 15 squares along the window's length
• It will retrieve an object simply by moving on it.
• The program stops only if McGyver has recovered all objects and found the exit from the maze. If he stupid enough to comes in front of the the guard without all the objects, he dies (according to the evolution theory).
• The program will be standalone, i. e. it can be run on any computer.

Steps

1. Create the starting frame
   • Initialize a Git repo on Github
   • Create the labyrinth without the graphical user interface
   • Start the graphical interface with PyGame
   • Represent the guard, McGyver and the objects in your program and placed them at the beginning of the game
2. Animate the character
   • The only moving element is McGyver, create classes methods for animation and finding the exit
   • make a simplified version of the game in which McGyver wins when he arrives in front of the goalkeeper
3. Recovering objects
   • Add object management
   • The way he pick them up
   • Add a counter that will list them.
4. Win!
   • McGyver has picked up all the objects and asleep the guard

Deliverables

• program hosted by Github
• 2 pages text doc (pdf) explaining your approach:
  • including the link to your repo
  • develop the choice of algorithm
  • explain the difficulties encountered and the solutions found

Constraints

• version your code and publish it on Github
• follow the good practices of PEP 8
• develop in a virtual environment using Python 3
• code must be written in English

Dependances

• pygame 1.9.3
• python 3.6.4
