GilMUD Plan

Inheritance system

This is my rough plan for how the inheritance system/thing system should work.

Thing

Has these variables:

``` string name string desc

set attrs dict specialattrs

list contents

Thing location ```

And these functions:

save(file f) # Dump to open file f load(file f) # Load from open file f moveInto(Thing dest) # Check if "container" in attrs to see if this works hear(string, color) # This function does nothing

Has attrs: obvious

Person (derived from Thing)

Has these variables:

```

Combat variables

string combatTarget bool inCombat string oldTarget int combatTimer

bool meditating bool resting

string race

dict charSheet = { "level": 1, "statpoints": 0, "hp": 0, "maxhp": 0, "mana": 0, "maxmana": 0,

"xp": 0,
"spells": [],

"gold": 0,
"dodge": 0,
"accuracy": 0,
"threat": 0,

}

dict eq = { "armor": None, "weapon": None, } ```

Has these functions:

``` raceMaker() # Set the player stats based on race tick() # Perform combat, meditation, and resting prompt() # Sends status to self.hear()

save() # An extension of Thing.save which saves the additional attributes defined in Player load() ```

Has additional attrs: person

Mob (derived from Person)

Has these functions:

tick() # Calls mobAI.py

Has additional attrs: mob

Player (derived from Person)

Player.playerlist contains a list of all players in the MUD.

Has these variables:

``` playerConn conn dict settings

```

Has these functions:

``` takeInventory() hear(string, color) overrides Thing.hear() # Send through conn with appropriate color createChar() # Step-by-step character creation

save() load() ```

Has additional attrs: player

Room

Has these variables:

dict exits

Has these functions:

``` broadcast(msg, msgcolor, *ignorelist)

load(f) save(f) ```

Has additional attrs: room
