python-utils-71

A lightweight collection of Python utilities designed to streamline game development workflows and automate repetitive data processing tasks. This toolkit simplifies common challenges such as asset batch-processing, custom binary serialization, and integration with popular game engine APIs.

Features

• Asset Batch Processor: Recursively compress textures and optimize sprite sheets to reduce build sizes without sacrificing visual fidelity.
• Binary Data Marshaller: Fast, structure-aligned binary serialization for custom file formats, ideal for high-performance save systems.
• Loot Table Engine: A robust, weight-based random generation utility supporting complex conditional drops and probability modifiers.
• Engine API Bridge: Simplified wrappers for interacting with common game engine SDKs, minimizing boilerplate code for data synchronization.

Installation

Install python-utils-71 via pip:

pip install python-utils-71

For local development and testing, clone the repository and install the dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/Developer/python-utils-71.git
cd python-utils-71
pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Below is a quick example of how to use the Loot Table engine to handle drop mechanics for your game:

from utils_71.gaming import LootTable

# Define a loot table with weight-based probabilities
items = {
    "Health Potion": 50,
    "Iron Sword": 10,
    "Legendary Cape": 1
}

loot_engine = LootTable(items)

# Roll for a random drop
result = loot_engine.roll()
print(f"Player acquired: {result}")
