pygamelib.board_items.ComplexPlayer

class pygamelib.board_items.ComplexPlayer(**kwargs)

New in version 1.2.0.

A complex player is nothing more than a Player mashed with a BoardComplexItem.

It supports all parameters of both with inheritance going first to Player and second to BoardComplexItem.

The main interest is of course the multiple cell representation and the Sprites support.

Example:

player = ComplexPlayer(
        name='Mighty Wizard',
        sprite=sprite_collection['wizard_idle']
    )
