Character Generator Challenge

My participation to the PyGame challenge "Character Generator" where the goal is to create a character generation GUI for an RPG-like game.

Features

Not all features are implemented, and will never be. These ones are striked out.

• Name your character or generate a random one
• Choose you character's race (Human, Elf, Dwarf or Orc) and class (Warrior, Wizard or Thief) (manually choosing isn't fully implemented and/or not working well)
• Ability scores (Strength, Resistance, Dexterity and Intelligence) are randomly generated
• Skills are defined based on class and ability scores (minimum required score). Available ones are:
  • Lock Spy (Thief)
  • Stealth (Thief; Intelligence: 2)
  • Picklock (Thief; Intelligence: 3)
  • High-kick (Warrior; Strength: 2)
  • Runner (Warrior; Strength: 3)
  • Earthquake (Warrior; Strength: 4)
  • Magical Heal (Wizard; Intelligence: 2)
  • Fireball (Wizard; Intelligence: 3)
  • Dragon Bite (Wizard; Intelligence: 4)
• Live preview of your character
• Ability to randomize everything
• Save you character's sheet as a text file

Prerequisites

Python 3. May eventually works with Python 2 (not tested).

Installation

Clone this repo, and then the usual pip install -r requirements.txt.

Usage

python run.py

How it works

I obviously can't explain how it works here, so you'll have to jump yourself in the source code. Start with the entry point, run.py.
