TankistOnline

A Cross-Platform Lightweight 2D Tank Multiplayer Game in Python. Note that this is a work-in-progress, and is not yet complete or playable.

Running

Current development is focused around TankistOnlie_Client.py and TankClass.py.

To run the (mock) client, python TankistOnline_Client.py or python3 TankistOnline_Client.py

Dependencies

Pyglet
(Optional) VLC-Python bindings [Necessary for Sound Effects, Requires VLC Media Player to be installed.]

To-Do:

Server-Side:

~~Create the server. Because this is lightweight, it has to be single-threaded.~~
Add a HP and a death system to the server.

Client-Side:

~~Create relative XY values for each Tank, in TankClass. This shall allow the viewport to move, to allow maps bigger~~ than the window size.
~~Update the screen even if the on_draw() event wasn't called.~~
~~Ensure that the theme is looped, currently when the track ends, it doesn't replay it.~~
Make possible a scrollable terrain-background.
Update the client to work with the server.

Misc:

Document code more clearly
Optimization [it's always welcome, however, keep in mind our Cross-Platform mindset]
~~Creating and maintaining the Wiki~~
Make the Wiki more concise.
