10. Classes and Object 🎮
Learn how to create your own game characters and items using Python classes!
Level Up with Character Creation Powers! 🧙♂️
Hey coding champions! Remember those magical functions we created in our last adventure? Now we're going to learn something SUPER EPIC - Classes and Objects! Think of classes as blueprints for creating game characters, magical items, or anything else in your game world! While functions are like spells, classes are like entire character types! 🎮
Today's Quest! 🎯
You'll learn how to:
- Create your own character classes! 🦸♂️
- Give characters special powers and attributes! ⚡
- Make characters do cool actions! 🏃♂️
- Create many characters from one blueprint! ✨
Your First Character Class! 🎯
class GameCharacter:
# Character attributes (like in RPG games!)
name = ""
character_class = "warrior"
health = 100
power = 10
# This is like a function inside our class!
def battle_cry(self):
return f"{self.name} shouts: For glory!"
def attack(self):
return f"{self.name} attacks for {self.power} damage! ⚔️"
# Create your first character!
hero = GameCharacter()
hero.name = "Sir Codealot"
print(hero.battle_cry()) # Sir Codealot shouts: For glory!Creating Different Types of Characters! 🎭
class Wizard:
def __init__(self, name, magic_power): # This is called when creating a new wizard
self.name = name
self.magic_power = magic_power
self.health = 80
self.spells = ["Fireball", "Ice Shield"]
def cast_spell(self, spell_name):
if spell_name in self.spells:
return f"{self.name} casts {spell_name}! ✨"
return f"{self.name} doesn't know that spell! 😅"
# Create wizards!
merlin = Wizard("Merlin", 95)
gandalf = Wizard("Gandalf", 100)

self.hunger = 0

Let's create some awesome magical vehicles:
class MagicVehicle:
def __init__(self, name, kind, color, magic_power):
self.name = name
self.kind = kind
self.color = color
self.magic_power = magic_power
def description(self):

def activate_power(self):

return f"{self.name} zooms through the sky! 🧹"
elif self.kind == "carpet":
return f"{self.name} floats majestically! ⚡"
else:
return f"{self.name} moves mysteriously! 🌟"
# Create your magical vehicles!
nimbus = MagicVehicle("Nimbus 2000", "broom", "golden", "super speed")
carpet = MagicVehicle("Magic Carpet", "carpet", "purple", "smooth flying")
print(nimbus.description())
print(nimbus.activate_power())🌟 Super Challenge: Create a Monster Collection Game!

Can you spot what's wrong with these game classes?
# Bug 1: Why doesn't this character have a name?
class Hero:
def set_name(name): # What's missing?
self.name = name
# Bug 2: Why can't we create different treasures?
class Treasure:
value = 100 # Is this the right way to set default values?
# Bug 3: What's wrong with this pet?

class Character:
"""
Create a complete RPG character system with:

# Your epic RPG code here!Practice Quest: The Vehicle Creator!
Let's create some amazing vehicles:
class Vehicle:
def __init__(self, name, kind, color, value):
self.name = name
self.kind = kind
self.color = color
self.value = value
def description(self):
return f"{self.name} is a {self.color} {self.kind} worth ${self.value:.2f}! ✨"
# Create some cool vehicles!
car1 = Vehicle("The Batmobile", "car", "black", 1000000.00)
car2 = Vehicle("Ghost Rider", "motorcycle", "flaming", 50000.00)
# Test your vehicles
print(car1.description())
print(car2.description())Remember:
- Classes are like blueprints for creating things
- Objects are the actual things you create from classes
__init__is a special function that runs when creating new objects- Use
selfto refer to the object's own attributes - You can have both attributes (data) and methods (functions) in classes
