I have been working on a randomly generated maze game with enemies that move through the maze toward the player. However, I am having the issue of the player being able to move through the walls of the maze, the problem I have is that the walls of the maze aren't sprites and therefore cannot use sprite collide, or Rect collide. Is there another way I can stop the player from moving through the walls? The only option I can think of is to get the position of each wall used and prevent the player from moving into that value of x or y. Below is the visual representation of what I want to occur:
Maze code
class Cell(object):
def __init__(self, x, y, cell_size, screen, black, white, red, blue):
# position in matrix
self.x = x
self.y = y
# keeps track of which walls are still visible
self.walls = [True, True, True, True]
# checks if cell has been visited during generation
self.generated = False
# checks if cell is on path during solving
self.on_path = False
# checks if cell has been visited during solving
self.visited = False
self.cell_size = cell_size
self.screen = screen
self.black = black
self.white = white
self.red = red
self.blue = blue
def draw_cell(self):
# coordinates on screen
x = self.x * self.cell_size
y = self.y * self.cell_size
# draws a wall if it still exists
if self.walls[0]:
pygame.draw.line(self.screen, self.black, (x, y), (x + self.cell_size, y), 5)
if self.walls[1]:
pygame.draw.line(self.screen, self.black,
(x, y + self.cell_size), (x + self.cell_size, y + self.cell_size), 5)
if self.walls[2]:
pygame.draw.line(self.screen, self.black,
(x + self.cell_size, y), (x + self.cell_size, y + self.cell_size), 5)
if self.walls[3]:
pygame.draw.line(self.screen, self.black, (x, y), (x, y + self.cell_size), 5)
# marks out white if generated during generation
if self.generated:
pygame.draw.rect(self.screen, self.white, (x, y, self.cell_size, self.cell_size))
