Go back to Main Menu

First, need to make a function in main file to run(). And for some reason, importing main should be in run function. Otherwise, it gives me an error.

def run():
    import main
    back_btn = pygame.image.load("imgs/back.png")
    back_btn_rect = back_btn.get_rect(center=(32, 32))
    .
    .
    .
    if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:

        if back_btn_rect.collidepoint(event.pos):
            running = False
            main.run()
    .
    .
    .
    screen.blit(back_btn, back_btn_rect.topleft)

Check Opened Stages

opened_stages = []

try:
    with open('opened-stages.txt', 'r') as file:
        lines = file.readlines()
        for line in lines:
            check_num = []
            for i in line:
                try:
                    if int(i):
                        check_num.append(i)
                except:
                    continue
            
            combined = ""
            for i in check_num:
                combined += i

            opened_stages.append(int(combined))

except:
    with open('opened-stages.txt', 'w') as file:
        file.write("1\n")

I made an algorithm to check opened stages.

if there is no ‘opened-stages.txt’ file, it means a user has never played this game, so create ‘opened-stages.txt’ file and write 1. Else, read the file.

There is ‘\n’ string, but I need to read just number so

for line in lines:
    check_num = []
    for i in line:
        try:
            if int(i):
                check_num.append(i)
        except:
            continue

this code filters ‘\n’, and append numbers to temporary list.

    combined = ""
    for i in check_num:
        combined += i

    opened_stages.append(int(combined))

This code combined a list to a value and append this value to opened_stages list.

After, I modified code for creating buttons.

stage_btns = []
button_details = {
    1: ('Stage 1', 100, 100, 50, 50, stage1_1.run),
    2: ('Stage 2', 200, 100, 50, 50, stage1_2.run),
    3: ('Stage 3', 300, 100, 50, 50, stage1_3.run)
}

for stage in opened_stages:
    if stage in button_details:
        label, x, y, width, height, action = button_details[stage]
        stage_btns.append(Button(label, x, y, width, height, action))

Lastly, I added this code to each stage files except first stage so that if this stage is executed, append the stage number to opened-stages file and now you see the button for the stage.

# stage 2
    with open('opened-stages.txt', 'r') as file:
        lines = file.readlines()
        is_opened = False
        for line in lines:
            if line == "2\n":
                is_opened = True
                break
        
        if is_opened == False:
            with open('opened-stages.txt', 'a') as file:
                file.write("2\n")

I added 3 arrow key images to explain how to play briefly.

arrow_up = pygame.image.load("imgs/up-arrow.png")
arrow_right = pygame.image.load("imgs/right-arrow.png")
arrow_left = pygame.image.load("imgs/left-arrow.png")

.
.
.
screen.blit(arrow_up, (SCREEN_WIDTH / 2 - 32, SCREEN_HEIGHT / 4 * 3 - 64))
screen.blit(arrow_left, (SCREEN_WIDTH / 2 - 96, SCREEN_HEIGHT / 4 * 3))
screen.blit(arrow_right, (SCREEN_WIDTH / 2 + 32, SCREEN_HEIGHT / 4 * 3))

They are located on a wall, but if those codes are written after

for wall in walls:
    wall.draw(screen)

this code, they are not shown because they are drawn first and wall is drawn so they are covered on the wall. So it should be

screen.blit(arrow_up, (SCREEN_WIDTH / 2 - 32, SCREEN_HEIGHT / 4 * 3 - 64))
screen.blit(arrow_left, (SCREEN_WIDTH / 2 - 96, SCREEN_HEIGHT / 4 * 3))
screen.blit(arrow_right, (SCREEN_WIDTH / 2 + 32, SCREEN_HEIGHT / 4 * 3))

for wall in walls:
    wall.draw(screen)

There was a problem for check opened stages code.

try:
    if int(i):
        check_num.append(i)
except:
    continue

if stage number is 10, 1 is appended to check_num list, but 0 is not since 0 is considered false value. I need to add elif statement to append 0 to the list as well.

try:
    if int(i):
        check_num.append(i)
    elif i == '0':
        check_num.append(i)
except:
    continue
