Below I'll put a list with all major updates that have been uploaded to this repo with dates:

• (08.07.2020):
  • Music Player runs and it's awesome! (if I could say that)

Right now, I'm all alone with writing the code, but I have my friend, who who tests it. So... it's like the two of us, but one doesn't code, so... 1.5? Will it be?

Technologies used in this "little" project:

• Python
• Pygame
• Unit tests library for Python (just for tests)

Before you start installation of this game, be sure, that you have installed Python (most preferably version 3). If you don't know how to check, if you already have python (you could have and don't even know about it), then:

• Open command line (type cmd in your search bar) and type:

python --version

• If the response looks something like

then you have Python and you don't have to install it.

• If the response it something simillar to "python is not known command", you don't have python and need to install it.

Don't know how to install it? Check out this page Install Python

To install this game, download this reopsitory (see the image below, if you don't know how).

Then you need to extract it (I think that's obvious enough) and go to the Next Step in Instalation. I would also highly recommend you to learn the basics of git (init, clone, pull), because it will be easier for you in the future.

Git isn't too hard to get to know. The only thing that you'll need is configuration of your git and git pull (of course unless you would like to contribute to this project, then you'll need to learn some more of git). If you won't understand any of these points, feel free to either ask me in the mail ([email protected]) or my Facebook / Instagram, whatever. You can also learn the basics of git from 10-minutes movies on YouTube or something like this. Anyway, let's get started:

• Create account on Github (you'll need to set a password and give them your email).
• Install git for windows from this site.
• Open git bash.
• Config your git with your username with git config --global user.name "<Your Name>" (of course change with your name):

• Then config your email with git config --global user.email <Your email> (of course change with your email).

• Navigate to folder where you want to have this game, using cd and dir commands. (cd for directory changes and dir to list all of files and directories in current directory). If you want to have it on your D: disc (which I highly recommend), the first change you would like to make is cd d: (if this doesn't work, type cd ../../../d: which should work just fine).
• Initialize new repository on your device with command git init:

• Add link to this remote (online) repository with command git remote add origin https://github.com/Davenury/Project_Symphogear.git. (Nothing will be on output, if everything goes fine):

• Last thing to do is typing git pull origin master. It will take some time because of quantity of files included in this repository (images, sounds, music). Don't care about everything in the output, even I don't care about it (of course unless there is something on red or yellow, because that's mean a problem!). Your output should look something like:

• And that's it. Everything is ready and you know basics of git that are used by you here. Of course there is much more to learn with git but now you know what it is at least! You can to to Next Step in Instalation.

Then I think you know what you should do. Create the folder in which you want to have this game. Then make git init to initialize empty repository. Add connection to remote repository (at least that's how I understand this) by typing git remote add origin https://github.com/Davenury/Project_Symphogear.git. If this doesn't work, you'll have to use SSH protocole. Then, when you'll have everything ready, go to Next Step in Instalation.

Go to your command line (at this moment this game is testes on Windows, so I don't really know, how it will behave on Linux, etc.), change your directory (with cd command) to Project_Sympohgear. With dir command make sure, that there is a requirements.txt file. If there is (becuase there should be one), type:

pip install -r requirements.txt

And that should be it. Game is installed and ready to use (well, now it isn't, because, as I wrote earlier, it's only some unrelated classes, so you won't be doing anything with it, but hey! I'm trying hard!).

As for this day (01.07.2020) only one thing is ready and it's Music Player (version 1.0.0) with all of the songs of anime series. If you want to know how to use it, check out Documentation. (Well, for now, there isn't much about it, but there will be ^^).

Go to Project_Symphogear folder, then go to Ready_Products folder (cd Ready_Products). Then type pgzrun MusicPlayer.py and it will start!

As for now:

• right arrow plays next song
• left arrow plays previous song
• space pauses / unpauses a song
• e stops a song
• p plays the song (either from a beginning or plays it one more time) If you want to change a song, you have to do it manually!

All of source files (sounds, music and images) come from Symphogear anime and Internet, so I don't have any rights to it (even if some of them are a bit modificated and I hope that the artists won't bit me 😉). After all it's a simple game and we all should be happy with it 😍

First of all it was supposed to be a simple game for me to understand the basics of Python language. Then I told about it to my friend, who thought it was a good idea, so I've worked with it for a bit. And then I understood how messy my code was, so I've started all from the beginning and here I am now. I don't know where it will lead me. It can be just some project that I won't even finish, but I wouldn't want to do it. I've started it and I want to end it for people, who like Symphogear as much as I do. For them to be one more time with characters we've benn watching for 5 seasons.

My goal is simple: write a good game with some good story line. To write it for fans to be with the characters once again. To write it for people, who never heard about it but (I hope) will want to watch this anime and go through this path with us. Finally, to write it for me, to prove myself, that I can do some good things too.

Inspiration for this little project was an anime called "Senki Zesshou Symphogear", which I want to recommand you to watch, because it's worth your time. It doens't matter if you are 15 or 50 (if you are younger, don't watch it. It isn't very scary, but it has some things, that you shouldn't watch right now. Either you won't understand it or get scared about it, and I will need to apologize. Do I need that? Hell, no!).

Main questline of this game (at least I think now) will be set after the final of season 5, so if you don't want to have a bunch of spoliers, first watch the anime. Of course there's something I need to do before you'll be even able to start to think about playing. I need to write it first 😯 .

For this moment, I'm not quite sure what will be the main questline for this game, but we'll figure something out for sure!

If you want to help us with this "little" project, you can do it in two ways:

• If you can code in Python language (or any other language, tbh, because Python is easy enough to learn) and:

  • you have some experience and you're eager Write to me ([email protected]) and become a full contributor to this "little" project.
  • you don't have experience, but you are eager Also write to me ([email protected]). You can learn some new things and write it in your CV (if you aren't ashamed enough).

• If you can't code in any language and don't want to learn it:

  • if you like testing something and think, you'll do it good: Test this project and write to me ([email protected]) with all the bugs / mistakes you've found (for example: music isn't playing, game doesn't start, etc.)

  • if you like testing, but you aren't sure you'll do it good: Don't be scared, we won't eat you alive, because you could mess up something. We're all just humans after all, right?
