NEW NAME!!! Flash Floods + Main Menu

If you remember, Pocket City is a game that already exists so now it’s called Capital Chaos. Thank you YouTube comments! And all of you as well, for the suggestions.

Ofc new video to go with it: watch by clicking here!

I created flash floods that.. well flood the entire map. It’s meant to be a little toned down of a disaster, thats more survivable because it gives the game a touch more balance. It stops all services from working, so that could be detrimental during a virus attack. But on the other hand, it stops every single fire and prevents new ones and explosions.

A lifesaver if theres a nuke, it gets completely nullified.

Also new main menu, I think it looks pretty neat. Especially compared to the old one.

So I took a break and it’s been a while since I worked on the project but I did finally start working on it again. I’ve decided that since it’s only compatible with some Linux devices I would make a html version that can run in browsers, I did some research and found out I could use pyodide to run Python in a html/javascript environment so I started using that and basically copy pasted most my code into the new file, I have had to modify some of the code like the movement and coloration to work with JavaScript instead. I also decided to make going into the different menus have buttons instead of pushing keys, but I’m having a lot of trouble with getting the buttons to display at the right time and function correctly. Hopefully I can get them working right by the next devlog. (P.S. I’m new to html and JavaScript so I don’t fully know how it works and I kinda feel like buttons should be easier and I’m just missing something, but maybe not and they really are just hard.)

This is probably my longest work period between devlogs, I did also take
like a week break in between them to. Im also hoping i can ship the project after this

• I worked on making the enemy movement smoother and work better, i
  decided to not use threading to run multiple loops since i didn’t like
  how it worked so i just did it semi turn based where the player moves
  and the enemies will then move, but its so quick the player can just
  hold down a button to move and it will move them multiple spaces
  seamlessly.
• I also worked on polishing the UIs like the Inventory and Shop so that
  they look better, they now have color and look nice.
• Something else i worked on was making a Info option too that tells you
  a little about the game
• I worked on making the code look cleaner and I added a bunch of comments so that anyone looking at it (and me later when i forget what it does) would know how it works and what does what.
• The Shop got chests added to it which can be opened with keys that you can also now collect in the dungeons.

Thats pretty much it I did, im probably forgetting a few things but oh well. Im planing on making my first ship soon so Im trying to get it working well enough for people to use it

I redid the enemy spawning yet again, but it’s much simpler and easier to modify now. I’ve also been working on enemy movement using the threading library to run multiple loops or functions at a time.

I’ve also been working on trying to make the generation for each dungeon level better. One of my friends gave me the idea of having some rooms or something in each level, however there is a few bugs with it, in the photo below you can see it generates a path that just goes straight across the map whenever a room spawns on the initial path, and players can crash the game if they try to leave the map, so I need to fix both of those

I decided to redo some of the enemy/gold generation which toke me a while since I had to change it from doing a random percent of each row to a random percent of the whole map. I also worked on making some UIs (idk if that’s what these are technically called) for choosing to enter a dungeon, open the shop etc. Ive also started working on switching the way the enemies work.

I recolored some of the map and i added enemy’s and gold. The gold you can gather and get 1-3. The enemy’s take a life from you, if you lose all 5 lives you lose. I fixed a few visual bugs and i split the file into 2 files so i can use import and the call function to be able to do multiple levels. I also scaled the map up more so its easier to see.

I mostly redid the random map generation making the user able to actually reach the end of the dungeon without getting stuck. I also added some color to it so the walls and floor are easy to see. I also added a safety check on the player movement and map generation so the player couldn’t move outside of the map. I started to make it more interactive.

I worked on setting up a random map generator and making it so the player could move around the map. I then added a fix that prevents the players from going through the walls. I then also setup a basic treasure/gold gathering system. After a bit I decided to redo most of the map generation and I’m still working on it. I didn’t realize I was supposed to have photos so this one is of a older version of it from my phone
