The Keep's First Room

Part of the Projects section of Coddy's Pygame journey. Lesson 21 of 31.

Your next game is Rune Keep: a knight seen from above, trapped in a keep of three rooms. Each room has a key, a locked door and monsters. Find the key, open the door, reach the next room, and get out with your hearts.

A room is a text map, as in Moss Caves: 14 columns by 10 rows of 48 pixel tiles, which fills a 672 by 480 window. # is a wall. The other letters come alive in the next lessons: P the knight, K the key, D the door, S a slime, H a potion. For now they are floor.

A Room class builds everything a room holds from its map. Later the knight walks from room to room, and each new room is one line: Room(MAP2).

class Room:
    def __init__(self, lines):
        self.walls = []
        for row, line in enumerate(lines):
            for col, char in enumerate(line):
                if char == "#":
                    self.walls.append(pygame.Rect(col * TILE, row * TILE, TILE, TILE))

To draw a wall, blit its picture at its Rect: screen.blit(wall_img, wall) puts the image at the Rect's top left.

Challenge

Easy

The starter opens the window, covers it in floor tiles and loads the font and every picture the keep needs, ready for the next lessons: knight_img, key_img, slime_img and the rest.

In Room.__init__, go through lines and add a 48 by 48 Rect at (col * TILE, row * TILE) to self.walls for each #. The starter already makes room = Room(MAP).
After the floor, blit wall_img at every Rect in room.walls.
