Summery: How do I organize my data structures to read or pass my Game() object in ship.py ?
Here is Pseudo code of what i'm talking about: http://pastebin.com/m985fe2f Long: How do you use your 'game' class? I created one class that handles screen creation, game main loop, list of Sprites, etc... But I'm not sure on how I should access the game members. In Ship.draw() I have a couple of potential examples, where the one i'm using right now is: self.screen.blit(self.image) (It saves a reference to Game.screen) But, this requires me to create my objects inside of Game(), passing a reference to the game instance every time a sprite is created, like so: # def Game.spawn(): self.sprites.add( Ship( self ) ) This seems wrong/hackish to me. Is there a way I can have a (semi?) global function / method? Or should I do this? I didn't want to make 'screen' a global variable, because I want access to Game(), since there are multiple members/methods I need access to. Another example: of a function that needs access to game members: This is called in ship.py when the sprite is spawned. # def Game.randLoc(self): """returns random location that exists in boundries of current map""" return randint( 0, self.map.width ), randint( 0, self.map.height) -- Jake
