pygamelib.board_items.Tile

class pygamelib.board_items.Tile(**kwargs)

New in version 1.2.0.

A Tile is a standard BoardComplexItem configured by default to:

• be overlappable
• be not pickable
• be immovable.

Aside from the movable attributes (it inherit from GenericStructure so it’s an Immovable object), everything else is configurable.

It is particularly useful to display a Sprite on the background or to create terrain.

Parameters:

• overlappable (bool) – Defines if the Tile can be overlapped.
• restorable (bool) – Defines is the Tile should be restored after being overlapped.
• pickable (bool) – Defines if the Tile can be picked up by the Player or NPC.

Please see BoardComplexItem for additional parameters.

Example:

grass_sprite = Sprite.load_from_ansi_file('textures/grass.ans')
for pos in grass_positions:
    outdoor_level.place_item( Tile(sprite=grass_sprite), pos[0], pos[1] )
