Plans for how to do the structure?
I want the Map Objects and the PyQt5 objects to be interlinked
when we use scene.add
Clicking on a map returns the map items (or itemIDs?) under it
The QGraphicsScene stands as the map and clicker interface. It'll have an ActionManager and tools. Tools make actions and send them to the action manager The ActionManager makes changes happen on the map
Ultimately, my plan is to set things up with modules loaded in from the main menu. Modules will provide...
- a set of tools
- a world generator (config widget, runny thing)
- a tileset
These will be centrally located, probably in a folder named modules. Not sure exactly how I'm going to implement the modules yet, but I'm hoping they can be little folders where we any new code is imported. A module will be selectable from a configuration menu off of the main menu.
There will be the "core" module for overland maps. I'm thinking there will be a Stars W/O Number module.
Tools make package and return actions
Tools each have classmethods to return the QPixMap for their icon, an alt-text for when the button is hovered over, and a widget to configure the tool. Tools are added at the MainWindow level, there a button is made and configured, and the Scene is told to make the tool. The buttons, when clicked, tell the scene to set that as the active tool. A widget is made and set underneath the button grid, then configured with the scene.
Hexes are registered with scenes. The scene draws the hex, and records the itemID.
We'll be using a cubic coordinate system where each Hex has three indicies i, j, and k.
