# Devils Tower
This is my entry for [PyWeek 28](https://pyweek.org/28/), with the theme __*Tower*__.
## About
A puzzle / exploration game that heavily relies on procedural generation.
I wasn't too excited about the theme Tower at first and when searching
the web, I stumbled on the ["Devils Tower"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devils_Tower)
in Wyoming, USA, which looked like a shape I could more or less generate
and thus decided to build a game that takes place around the Devils Tower.
Most of the time, I spent writing various parts of procedural generators as
a basis to generate geometry, place objects, etc. Also a notable amount of
time I invested in things I wasn't even sure whether they would come in
handy later on...
As a challenge I wrote a veeery basic collision system more or less from the
ground up. I obviously didn't want to implement linear algebra ops from
scratch, when I have libraries that do that faster than I could ever optimize
a piece of code...
I did implement a quadtree just because I wanted to, at the beginning, which
in the end proved very useful with the collision system.
## Build / Install
### Requirements
This game needs [Python](https://www.python.org) 3.6 or higher to run and
also, if you're not on 64-bit Windows, you'll need build tools and the
Python headers installed/available on your system.
On **Ubuntu** *(any recent version, definitely 18.04+)* that just means running
this command:
`sudo apt-get install build-essential python3-dev`
On **Windows** *(only if you're not running one of Windows 7/8/8.1/10 x64)*, after
installing Python:
* Install [Microsoft Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019](https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2019)
* In Build tools, install C++ build tools and ensure the latest versions
of MSVCv142 - VS 2019 C++ x64/x86 build tools and Windows 10 SDK are checked.
* In a command line prompt (Windows-Key+R -> `cmd.exe`) run
`pip install --upgrade setuptools`
I'm sure on other operating systems / distributions this is just as easy,
I'm just too lazy to look up the proper commands / instructions for each.
### Installation
#### Windows 64-bit
If you're on a 64-bit Windows, you can download a binary under
[Releases](https://github.com/tcdude/pyweek28/releases).
#### Install from source
Clone/Download this repo *(and unpack the zip file, if not using `git clone`)*
and run this command inside the directory:
`pip install -r requirements.txt` *(ideally in a virtual environment, but
that's just my opinion. [This](https://docs.python-guide.org/dev/virtualenvs/)
might help to bring you up to speed on the topic...)*
## Run the game
After installing all the requirements simply run:
`python run_game.py` *(or `python3 run_game.py` when both Python2 and 3 are installed)*
## Game Instructions
I purposely did not add a bunch of text in the game. When you find one of the puzzles
and solved it, you can just move away. To close the instructions on
[Nonogram](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonogram) either press one of these buttons:
(space, enter, right or middle mouse-button).
You can switch to wireframe view with **F1** inside the game at any time.
**Have fun!!**
## Credits
* Using **Nonogram** for puzzles was the idea of my good friend Evelyne
* SFX and the song playing in the background are from my neighbor/friend Joel
* The [Panda3D](https://www.panda3d.org) community for helping me figure out
technical problems
## Special Thanks to
* Kathy for keeping my back free during this jam week so I could focus 100% on creating this
* Evelyne to help brainstorm ideas and help me keep my motivation
when I got frustrated
* My neighbor joel, both for the music and the regular requests to
come outside to let our dogs play in the garden -> the only fresh air I got in 7 days :P
* rdb for motivating me to take part in this competition in the first place
