Documentation

game.py

This is just a simple launcher.

Creep.py

Creep.py is the main game code.

CreepGame class is the game, the main game loop is in CreepGame.runGame.

def runGame(self):
	while True:
	    time_passed = self.clock.tick(self.fps)
	    self.handleInputEvents()
	    self.updateCreeps(time_passed)
	    self.drawEverything()
	return	

Event handlers are hooked up to events in CreepGame.handleInputEvents.

Creep class is the creep itself, CreepType class is for creating types of creeps.

Creep.update

This is the method called by the game loop to allow the creep to do its stuff, it just moves around.

Creep.collide

this is the method called from the game loop to handle interactions for every combination of two creeps in the creeps collection. This is where all the proximity and collision behaviour is handled.

vect2d

vec2d is useful for vector arithmetic.
