Python Quest - Python Trilogy Part 3

A half-finished JRPG is stuck inside an old cartridge, full of holes and bugs. Bit, the cartridge fairy, needs a programmer. Every quest fixes or builds one piece of the game: the heroes, the battle system, the item bag, the save point, the dungeon and the final boss.

Finish all 20 quests and the game you built becomes Ember Crown, a real mini JRPG you can play, running on your own code.

Python Quest is part three of the Kralnu Games Python trilogy. Python Kitchen teaches you to write code, Garage Code teaches you to fix it, and Python Quest has you build something real with it.

🗺️ The quests

• Act 1 · The party: classes, __init__, self, @property, inheritance and super()
• Act 2 · The battle system: seeded random rolls, sorting with tuple keys, custom exceptions, battle loops, and reading a traceback three levels deep
• Act 3 · Loot and saves: dict.get(), Counter, guarding methods, and saving and loading with json
• Act 4 · The dungeon: nested dictionaries, recursion, writing tests with assert, @dataclass, and the Glitch King boss

👑 The bonus game: Ember Crown

• A party of three, a seven-room dungeon, battles, items, a save shrine and the Glitch King himself
• Built from your own Character class, damage formula, turn order, bag, save system and boss
• The title screen shows which pieces are yours
• If one of your pieces breaks, it quietly swaps to a working backup, so the game always plays

Real Python 3 runs right in your browser, so there's nothing to install. Best after Python Kitchen and Garage Code. The first run downloads Python (about 10MB), and your progress saves in your browser.
