# Archipelago API
This document tries to explain some aspects of the Archipelago World API used when implementing the generation logic of
a game.
Client implementation is out of scope of this document. Please refer to an existing game that provides a similar API to
yours, and the following documents:
* [network protocol.md](https://github.com/ArchipelagoMW/Archipelago/blob/main/docs/network%20protocol.md)
* [adding games.md](https://github.com/ArchipelagoMW/Archipelago/blob/main/docs/adding%20games.md)
Archipelago will be abbreviated as "AP" from now on.
## Language
AP worlds are written in python3.
Clients that connect to the server to sync items can be in any language that allows using WebSockets.
## Coding style
AP follows a [style guide](https://github.com/ArchipelagoMW/Archipelago/blob/main/docs/style.md).
When in doubt, use an IDE with a code-style linter, for example PyCharm Community Edition.
## Docstrings
Docstrings are strings attached to an object in Python that describe what the object is supposed to be. Certain
docstrings will be picked up and used by AP. They are assigned by writing a string without any assignment right below a
definition. The string must be a triple-quoted string, and should
follow [reST style](https://peps.python.org/pep-0287/).
Example:
```python
from worlds.AutoWorld import World
class MyGameWorld(World):
"""This is the description of My Game that will be displayed on the AP website."""
```
## Definitions
This section covers various classes and objects you can use for your world. While some of the attributes and methods
are mentioned here, not all of them are, but you can find them in
[`BaseClasses.py`](https://github.com/ArchipelagoMW/Archipelago/blob/main/BaseClasses.py).
### World Class
A `World` is the class with all the specifics of a certain game that is to be included. A new instance will be created
for each player of the game for any given generated multiworld.
### WebWorld Class
A `WebWorld` class contains specific attributes and methods that can be modified for your world specifically on the
webhost:
* `options_page` can be changed to a link instead of an AP-generated options page.
* `theme` to be used for your game-specific AP pages. Available themes:
| dirt | grass (default) | grassFlowers | ice | jungle | ocean | partyTime | stone |
|--------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------|
| <img src="img/theme_dirt.JPG" width="100"> | <img src="img/theme_grass.JPG" width="100"> | <img src="img/theme_grassFlowers.JPG" width="100"> | <img src="img/theme_ice.JPG" width="100"> | <img src="img/theme_jungle.JPG" width="100"> | <img src="img/theme_ocean.JPG" width="100"> | <img src="img/theme_partyTime.JPG" width="100"> | <img src="img/theme_stone.JPG" width="100"> |
* `bug_report_page` (optional) can be a link to a bug reporting page, most likely a GitHub issue page, that will be
placed by the site to help users report bugs.
* `tutorials` list of `Tutorial` classes where each class represents a guide to be generated on the webhost.
* `game_info_languages` (optional) list of strings for defining the existing game info pages your game supports. The
documents must be prefixed with the same string as defined here. Default already has 'en'.
* `options_presets` (optional) `Dict[str, Dict[str, Any]]` where the keys are the names of the presets and the values
are the options to be set for that preset. The options are defined as a `Dict[str, Any]` where the keys are the names
of the options and the values are the values to be set for that option. These presets will be available for users to
select from on the game's options page.
Note: The values must be a non-aliased value for the option type and can only include the following option types:
* If you have a `Range`/`NamedRange` option, the value should be an `int` between the `range_start` and `range_end`
values.
* If you have a `NamedRange` option, the value can alternatively be a `str` that is one of the
`special_range_names` keys.
* If you have a `Choice` option, the value should be a `str` that is one of the `option_<name>` values.
* If you have a `Toggle`/`DefaultOnToggle` option, the value should be a `bool`.
* `random` is also a valid value for any of these option types.
`OptionDict`, `OptionList`, `OptionSet`, `FreeText`, or custom `Option`-derived classes are not supported for presets on
the webhost at this time.
Here is an example of a defined preset:
```python
# presets.py
options_presets = {
"Limited Potential": {
"progression_balancing": 0,
"fairy_chests_per_zone": 2,
"starting_class": "random",
"chests_per_zone": 30,
"vendors": "normal",
"architect": "disabled",
"gold_gain_multiplier": "half",
"number_of_children": 2,
"free_diary_on_generation": False,
"health_pool": 10,
"mana_pool": 10,
"attack_pool": 10,
"magic_damage_pool": 10,
"armor_pool": 5,
"equip_pool": 10,
"crit_chance_pool": 5,
"crit_damage_pool": 5,
}
}
# __init__.py
class RLWeb(WebWorld):
options_presets = options_presets
# ...
```
* `location_descriptions` (optional) WebWorlds can provide a map that contains human-friendly descriptions of locations
or location groups.
```python
# locations.py
location_descriptions = {
"Red Potion #6": "In a secret destructible block under the second stairway",
"L2 Spaceship": """
The group of all items in the spaceship in Level 2.
This doesn't include the item on the spaceship door, since it can be
accessed without the Spaceship Key.
"""
}
# __init__.py
from worlds.AutoWorld import WebWorld
from .locations import location_descriptions
class MyGameWeb(WebWorld):
location_descriptions = location_descriptions
```
* `item_descriptions` (optional) WebWorlds can provide a map that contains human-friendly descriptions of items or item
groups.
```python
# items.py
item_descriptions = {
"Red Potion": "A standard health potion",
"Spaceship Key": """
The key to the spaceship in Level 2.
This is necessary to get to the Star Realm.
""",
}
# __init__.py
from worlds.AutoWorld import WebWorld
from .items import item_descriptions
class MyGameWeb(WebWorld):
item_descriptions = item_descriptions
```
### MultiWorld Object
The `MultiWorld` object references the whole multiworld (all items and locations for all players) and is accessible
through `self.multiworld` from your `World` object.
### Player
The player is just an `int` in AP and is accessible through `self.player` from your `World` object.
### Player Options
Options are provided by the user as part of the generation process, intended to affect how their randomizer experience
should play out. These can control aspects such as what locations should be shuffled, what items are in the itempool,
etc. Players provide the customized options for their World in the form of yamls.
By convention, options are defined in `options.py` and will be used when parsing the players' yaml files. Each option
has its own class, which inherits from a base option type, a docstring to describe it, and a `display_name` property
shown on the website and in spoiler logs.
The available options are defined by creating a `dataclass`, which must be a subclass of `PerGameCommonOptions`. It has
defined fields for the option names used in the player yamls and used for options access, with their types matching the
appropriate Option class. By convention, the strings that define your option names should be in `snake_case`. The
`dataclass` is then assigned to your `World` by defining its `options_dataclass`. Option results are then automatically
added to the `World` object for easy access, between `World` creation and `generate_early`. These are accessible through
`self.options.<option_name>`, and you can get a dictionary with option values
via `self.options.as_dict(<option_names>)`,
passing the desired option names as strings.
Common option types are `Toggle`, `DefaultOnToggle`, `Choice`, and `Range`.
For more information, see the [options api doc](options%20api.md).
### World Settings
Settings are set by the user outside the generation process. They can be used for those settings that may affect
generation or client behavior, but should remain static between generations, such as the path to a ROM file.
These settings are accessible through `self.settings.<setting_name>` or `cls.settings.<setting_name>`.
Users can set these in their `host.yaml` file. Some settings may automatically open a file browser if a file is missing.
Refer to [settings api.md](https://github.com/ArchipelagoMW/Archipelago/blob/main/docs/settings%20api.md) for details.
### Locations
Locations are places where items can be located in your game. This may be chests or boss drops for RPG-like games, but
could also be progress in a research tree, or even something more abstract like a level up.
Each location has a `name` and an `address` (hereafter referred to as an `id`), is placed in a Region, has access rules,
and has a classification. The name needs to be unique within each game and must not be numeric (must contain least 1
letter or symbol). The ID needs to be unique across all games, and is best kept in the same range as the item IDs.
Locations and items can share IDs, so typically a game's locations and items start at the same ID.
World-specific IDs must be in the range 1 to 2<sup>53</sup>-1; IDs ≤ 0 are global and reserved.
Classification is one of `LocationProgressType.DEFAULT`, `PRIORITY` or `EXCLUDED`.
The Fill algorithm will force progression items to be placed at priority locations, giving a higher chance of them being
required, and will prevent progression and useful items from being placed at excluded locations.
### Items
Items are all things that can "drop" for your game. This may be RPG items like weapons, or technologies you normally
research in a research tree.
Each item has a `name`, a `code` (hereafter referred to as `id`), and a classification.
The most important classification is `progression`. Progression items are items which a player *may* require to progress
in their world. If an item can possibly be considered for logic (it's referenced in a location's rules) it *must* be
progression. Progression items will be assigned to locations with higher priority, and moved around to meet defined rules
and satisfy progression balancing.
The name needs to be unique within each game, meaning if you need to create multiple items with the same name, they
will all have the same ID. Name must not be numeric (must contain at least 1 letter or symbol).
Other classifications include:
* `filler`: a regular item or trash item
* `useful`: generally quite useful, but not required for anything logical. Cannot be placed on excluded locations
* `trap`: negative impact on the player
* `skip_balancing`: denotes that an item should not be moved to an earlier sphere for the purpose of balancing (to be
combined with `progression`; see below)
* `progression_skip_balancing`: the combination of `progression` and `skip_balancing`, i.e., a progression item that
will not be moved around by progression balancing; used, e.g., for currency or tokens, to not flood early spheres
### Events
An Event is a special combination of a Location and an Item, with both having an `id` of `None`. These can be used to
track certain logic interactions, with the Event Item being required for access in other locations or regions, but not
being "real". Since the item and location have no ID, they get dropped at the end of generation and so the server is
never made aware of them and these locations can never be checked, nor can the items be received during play.
They may also be used for making the spoiler log look nicer, i.e. by having a `"Victory"` Event Item, that
is required to finish the game. This makes it very clear when the player finishes, rather than only seeing their last
relevant Item. Events function just like any other Location, and can still have their own access rules, etc.
By convention, the Event "pair" of Location and Item typically have the same name, though this is not a requirement.
They must not exist in the `name_to_id` lookups, as they have no ID.
The most common way to create an Event pair is to create and place the Item on the Location as soon as it's created:
```python
from worlds.AutoWorld import World
from BaseClasses import ItemClassification
from .subclasses import MyGameLocation, MyGameItem
class MyGameWorld(World):
victory_loc = MyGameLocation(self.player, "Victory", None)
victory_loc.place_locked_item(MyGameItem("Victory", ItemClassification.progression, None, self.player))
```
### Regions
Regions are logical containers that typically hold locations that share some common access rules. If location logic is
written from scratch, using regions greatly simplifies the requirements and can help with implementing things
like entrance randomization in logic.
Regions have a list called `exits`, containing `Entrance` objects representing transitions to other regions.
There must be one special region, "Menu", from which the logic unfolds. AP assumes that a player will always be able to
return to the "Menu" region by resetting the game ("Save and quit").
### Entrances
An `Entrance` has a `parent_region` and `connected_region`, where it is in the `exits` of its parent, and the
`entrances` of its connected region. The `Entrance` then has rules assigned to it to determine if it can be passed
through, making the connected region accessible. They can be static (regular logic) or be defined/connected during
generation (entrance randomization).
### Access Rules
An access rule is a function that returns `True` or `False` for a `Location` or `Entrance` based on the current `state`
(items that have been collected).
### Item Rules
An item rule is a function that returns `True` or `False` for a `Location` based on a single item. It can be used to
reject the placement of an item there.
## Implementation
### Your World
All code for your world implementation should be placed in a python package in the `/worlds` directory. The starting
point for the package is `__init__.py`. Conventionally, your `World` class is placed in that file.
World classes must inherit from the `World` class in `/worlds/AutoWorld.py`, which can be imported as
`from worlds.AutoWorld import World` from your package.
AP will pick up your world automatically due to the `AutoWorld` implementation.
### Requirements
If your world needs specific python packages, they can be listed in `worlds/<world_name>/requirements.txt`.
ModuleUpdate.py will automatically pick up and install them.
See [pip documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/cli/pip_install/#requirements-file-format).
### Relative Imports
AP will only import the `__init__.py`. Depending on code size, it may make sense to use multiple files and use relative
imports to access them.
e.g. `from .options import MyGameOptions` from your `__init__.py` will load `world/[world_name]/options.py` and make
its `MyGameOptions` accessible.
When imported names pile up, it may be easier to use `from . import options` and access the variable as
`options.MyGameOptions`.
Imports from directories outside your world should use absolute imports. Correct use of relative / absolute imports is
required for zipped worlds to function, see [apworld specification.md](apworld%20specification.md).
### Your Item Type
Each world uses its own subclass of `BaseClasses.Item`. The constructor can be overridden to attach additional data to
it, e.g. "price in shop". Since the constructor is only ever called from your code, you can add whatever arguments you
like to the constructor.
In its simplest form, we only set the game name and use the default constructor:
```python
from BaseClasses import Item
class MyGameItem(Item):
game: str = "My Game"
```
By convention, this class definition will either be placed in your `__init__.py` or your `items.py`. For a more
elaborate example see
[`worlds/oot/Items.py`](https://github.com/ArchipelagoMW/Archipelago/blob/main/worlds/oot/Items.py).
### Your Location Type
The same thing we did for items above, we will now do for locations:
```python
from BaseClasses import Location
class MyGameLocation(Location):
game: str = "My Game"
```
in your `__init__.py` or your `locations.py`.
### A World Class Skeleton
```python
# world/mygame/__init__.py
import settings
import typing
from .options import MyGameOptions # the options we defined earlier
from .items import mygame_items # data used below to add items to the World
from .locations import mygame_locations # same as above
from worlds.AutoWorld import World
from BaseClasses import Region, Location, Entrance, Item, RegionType, ItemClassification
class MyGameItem(Item): # or from Items import MyGameItem
game = "My Game" # name of the game/world this item is from
class MyGameLocation(Location): # or from Locations import MyGameLocation
game = "My Game" # name of the game/world this location is in
class MyGameSettings(settings.Group):
class RomFile(settings.SNESRomPath):
"""Insert help text for host.yaml here."""
rom_file: RomFile = RomFile("MyGame.sfc")
class MyGameWorld(World):
"""Insert description of the world/game here."""
game = "My Game" # name of the game/world
options_dataclass = MyGameOptions # options the player can set
options: MyGameOptions # typing hints for option results
settings: typing.ClassVar[MyGameSettings] # will be automatically assigned from type hint
topology_present = True # show path to required location checks in spoiler
# ID of first item and location, could be hard-coded but code may be easier
# to read with this as a property.
base_id = 1234
# instead of dynamic numbering, IDs could be part of data
# The following two dicts are required for the generation to know which
# items exist. They could be generated from json or something else. They can
# include events, but don't have to since events will be placed manually.
item_name_to_id = {name: id for
id, name in enumerate(mygame_items, base_id)}
location_name_to_id = {name: id for
id, name in enumerate(mygame_locations, base_id)}
# Items can be grouped using their names to allow easy checking if any item
# from that group has been collected. Group names can also be used for !hint
item_name_groups = {
"weapons": {"sword", "lance"},
}
```
### Generation
The world has to provide the following things for generation:
* the properties mentioned above
* additions to the item pool
* additions to the regions list: at least one called "Menu"
* locations placed inside those regions
* a `def create_item(self, item: str) -> MyGameItem` to create any item on demand
* applying `self.multiworld.push_precollected` for world-defined start inventory
In addition, the following methods can be implemented and are called in this order during generation:
* `stage_assert_generate(cls, multiworld: MultiWorld)`
a class method called at the start of generation to check for the existence of prerequisite files, usually a ROM for
games which require one.
* `generate_early(self)`
called per player before any items or locations are created. You can set properties on your
world here. Already has access to player options and RNG. This is the earliest step where the world should start
setting up for the current multiworld, as the multiworld itself is still setting up before this point.
* `create_regions(self)`
called to place player's regions and their locations into the MultiWorld's regions list.
If it's hard to separate, this can be done during `generate_early` or `create_items` as well.
* `create_items(self)`
called to place player's items into the MultiWorld's itempool. After this step all regions
and items have to be in the MultiWorld's regions and itempool, and these lists should not be modified afterward.
* `set_rules(self)`
called to set access and item rules on locations and entrances.
* `generate_basic(self)`
player-specific randomization that does not affect logic can be done here.
* `pre_fill(self)`, `fill_hook(self)` and `post_fill(self)`
called to modify item placement before, during, and after the regular fill process; all finishing before
`generate_output`. Any items that need to be placed during `pre_fill` should not exist in the itempool, and if there
are any items that need to be filled this way, but need to be in state while you fill other items, they can be
returned from `get_prefill_items`.
* `generate_output(self, output_directory: str)`
creates the output files if there is output to be generated. When this is called,
`self.multiworld.get_locations(self.player)` has all locations for the player, with attribute `item` pointing to the
item. `location.item.player` can be used to see if it's a local item.
* `fill_slot_data(self)` and `modify_multidata(self, multidata: Dict[str, Any])` can be used to modify the data that
will be used by the server to host the MultiWorld.
All instance methods can, optionally, have a class method defined which will be called after all instance methods are
finished running, by defining a method with `stage_` in front of the method name. These class methods will have the
args `(cls, multiworld: MultiWorld)`, followed by any other args that the relevant instance method has.
#### generate_early
```python
def generate_early(self) -> None:
# read player options to world instance
self.final_boss_hp = self.options.final_boss_hp.value
```
#### create_regions
```python
def create_regions(self) -> None:
# Add regions to the multiworld. "Menu" is the required starting point.
# Arguments to Region() are name, player, multiworld, and optionally hint_text
menu_region = Region("Menu", self.player, self.multiworld)
self.multiworld.regions.append(menu_region) # or use += [menu_region...]
main_region = Region("Main Area", self.player, self.multiworld)
# add main area's locations to main area (all but final boss)
main_region.add_locations(main_region_locations, MyGameLocation)
# or
# main_region.locations = \
# [MyGameLocation(self.player, location_name, self.location_name_to_id[location_name], main_region]
self.multiworld.regions.append(main_region)
boss_region = Region("Boss Room", self.player, self.multiworld)
# add event to Boss Room
boss_region.locations.append(MyGameLocation(self.player, "Final Boss", None, boss_region))
# if entrances are not randomized, they should be connected here, otherwise they can also be connected at a later stage
# create Entrances and connect the Regions
menu_region.connect(main_region) # connects the "Menu" and "Main Area", can also pass a rule
# or
main_region.add_exits({"Boss Room": "Boss Door"}, {"Boss Room": lambda state: state.has("Sword", self.player)})
# connects the "Main Area" and "Boss Room" regions, and places a rule requiring the "Sword" item to traverse
# if setting location access rules from data is easier here, set_rules can possibly be omitted
```
#### create_item
```python
# we need a way to know if an item provides progress in the game ("key item") this can be part of the items definition,
# or depend on recipe randomization
from .items import is_progression # this is just a dummy
def create_item(self, item: str) -> MyGameItem:
# this is called when AP wants to create an item by name (for plando) or when you call it from your own code
classification = ItemClassification.progression if is_progression(item) else
ItemClassification.filler
return MyGameItem(item, classification, self.item_name_to_id[item],
self.player)
def create_event(self, event: str) -> MyGameItem:
# while we are at it, we can also add a helper to create events
return MyGameItem(event, True, None, self.player)
```
#### create_items
```python
def create_items(self) -> None:
# Add items to the Multiworld.
# If there are two of the same item, the item has to be twice in the pool.
# Which items are added to the pool may depend on player options, e.g. custom win condition like triforce hunt.
# Having an item in the start inventory won't remove it from the pool.
# If an item can't have duplicates it has to be excluded manually.
# List of items to exclude, as a copy since it will be destroyed below
exclude = [item for item in self.multiworld.precollected_items[self.player]]
for item in map(self.create_item, mygame_items):
if item in exclude:
exclude.remove(item) # this is destructive. create unique list above
self.multiworld.itempool.append(self.create_item("nothing"))
else:
self.multiworld.itempool.append(item)
# itempool and number of locations should match up.
# If this is not the case we want to fill the itempool with junk.
junk = 0 # calculate this based on player options
self.multiworld.itempool += [self.create_item("nothing") for _ in range(junk)]
```
### Setting Rules
```python
from worlds.generic.Rules import add_rule, set_rule, forbid_item, add_item_rule
from .items import get_item_type
def set_rules(self) -> None:
# For some worlds this step can be omitted if either a Logic mixin
# (see below) is used, it's easier to apply the rules from data during
# location generation or everything is in generate_basic
# set a simple rule for an region
set_rule(self.multiworld.get_entrance("Boss Door", self.player),
lambda state: state.has("Boss Key", self.player))
# location.access_rule = ... is likely to be a bit faster
# combine rules to require two items
add_rule(self.multiworld.get_location("Chest2", self.player),
lambda state: state.has("Sword", self.player))
add_rule(self.multiworld.get_location("Chest2", self.player),
lambda state: state.has("Shield", self.player))
# or simply combine yourself
set_rule(self.multiworld.get_location("Chest2", self.player),
lambda state: state.has("Sword", self.player) and
state.has("Shield", self.player))
# require two of an item
set_rule(self.multiworld.get_location("Chest3", self.player),
lambda state: state.has("Key", self.player, 2))
# require one item from an item group
add_rule(self.multiworld.get_location("Chest3", self.player),
lambda state: state.has_group("weapons", self.player))
# state also has .count() for items, .has_any() and .has_all() for multiple
# and .count_group() for groups
# set_rule is likely to be a bit faster than add_rule
# disallow placing a specific local item at a specific location
forbid_item(self.multiworld.get_location("Chest4", self.player), "Sword")
# disallow placing items with a specific property
add_item_rule(self.multiworld.get_location("Chest5", self.player),
lambda item: get_item_type(item) == "weapon")
# get_item_type needs to take player/world into account
# if MyGameItem has a type property, a more direct implementation would be
add_item_rule(self.multiworld.get_location("Chest5", self.player),
lambda item: item.player != self.player or
item.my_type == "weapon")
# location.item_rule = ... is likely to be a bit faster
# place "Victory" at "Final Boss" and set collection as win condition
self.multiworld.get_location("Final Boss", self.player).place_locked_item(self.create_event("Victory"))
self.multiworld.completion_condition[self.player] = lambda state: state.has("Victory", self.player)
# for debugging purposes, you may want to visualize the layout of your world. Uncomment the following code to
# write a PlantUML diagram to the file "my_world.puml" that can help you see whether your regions and locations
# are connected and placed as desired
# from Utils import visualize_regions
# visualize_regions(self.multiworld.get_region("Menu", self.player), "my_world.puml")
```
### Custom Logic Rules
Custom methods can be defined for your logic rules. The access rule that ultimately gets assigned to the Location or
Entrance should be
a [`CollectionRule`](https://github.com/ArchipelagoMW/Archipelago/blob/main/worlds/generic/Rules.py#L9).
Typically, this is done by defining a lambda expression on demand at the relevant bit, typically calling other
functions, but this can also be achieved by defining a method with the appropriate format and assigning it directly.
For an example, see [The Messenger](/worlds/messenger/rules.py).
```python
# logic.py
from BaseClasses import CollectionState
def mygame_has_key(self, state: CollectionState, player: int) -> bool:
# More arguments above are free to choose, since you can expect this is only called in your world
# MultiWorld can be accessed through state.multiworld.
# Explicitly passing in MyGameWorld instance for easy options access is also a valid approach, but it's generally
# better to check options before rule assignment since the individual functions can be called thousands of times
return state.has("key", player) # or whatever
```
```python
# __init__.py
from worlds.generic.Rules import set_rule
from . import logic
class MyGameWorld(World):
# ...
def set_rules(self) -> None:
set_rule(self.multiworld.get_location("A Door", self.player),
lambda state: logic.mygame_has_key(state, self.player))
```
### Logic Mixin
While lambdas and events can do pretty much anything, more complex logic can be handled in logic mixins.
When importing a file that defines a class that inherits from `worlds.AutoWorld.LogicMixin`, the `CollectionState` class
is automatically extended by the mixin's members. These members should be prefixed with the name of the implementing
world since the namespace is shared with all other logic mixins.
Some uses could be to add additional variables to the state object, or to have a custom state machine that gets modified
with the state.
Please do this with caution and only when necessary.
#### pre_fill
```python
def pre_fill(self) -> None:
# place item Herb into location Chest1 for some reason
item = self.create_item("Herb")
self.multiworld.get_location("Chest1", self.player).place_locked_item(item)
# in most cases it's better to do this at the same time the itempool is
# filled to avoid accidental duplicates, such as manually placed and still in the itempool
```
### Generate Output
```python
from .mod import generate_mod
def generate_output(self, output_directory: str) -> None:
# How to generate the mod or ROM highly depends on the game.
# If the mod is written in Lua, Jinja can be used to fill a template.
# If the mod reads a json file, `json.dump()` can be used to generate that.
# code below is a dummy
data = {
"seed": self.multiworld.seed_name, # to verify the server's multiworld
"slot": self.multiworld.player_name[self.player], # to connect to server
"items": {location.name: location.item.name
if location.item.player == self.player else "Remote"
for location in self.multiworld.get_filled_locations(self.player)},
# store start_inventory from player's .yaml
# make sure to mark as not remote_start_inventory when connecting if stored in rom/mod
"starter_items": [item.name for item in self.multiworld.precollected_items[self.player]],
}
# add needed option results to the dictionary
data.update(self.options.as_dict("final_boss_hp", "difficulty", "fix_xyz_glitch"))
# point to a ROM specified by the installation
src = self.settings.rom_file
# or point to worlds/mygame/data/mod_template
src = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "data", "mod_template")
# generate output path
mod_name = self.multiworld.get_out_file_name_base(self.player)
out_file = os.path.join(output_directory, mod_name + ".zip")
# generate the file
generate_mod(src, out_file, data)
```
### Slot Data
If the game client needs to know information about the generated seed, a preferred method of transferring the data
is through the slot data. This is filled with the `fill_slot_data` method of your world by returning
a `dict` with `str` keys that can be serialized with json.
But, to not waste resources, it should be limited to data that is absolutely necessary. Slot data is sent to your client
once it has successfully [connected](network%20protocol.md#connected).
If you need to know information about locations in your world, instead of propagating the slot data, it is preferable
to use [LocationScouts](network%20protocol.md#locationscouts), since that data already exists on the server. The most
common usage of slot data is sending option results that the client needs to be aware of.
```python
def fill_slot_data(self) -> Dict[str, Any]:
# In order for our game client to handle the generated seed correctly we need to know what the user selected
# for their difficulty and final boss HP.
# A dictionary returned from this method gets set as the slot_data and will be sent to the client after connecting.
# The options dataclass has a method to return a `Dict[str, Any]` of each option name provided and the relevant
# option's value.
return self.options.as_dict("difficulty", "final_boss_hp")
```
### Documentation
Each world implementation should have a tutorial and a game info page. These are both rendered on the website by reading
the `.md` files in your world's `/docs` directory.
#### Game Info
The game info page is for a short breakdown of what your game is and how it works in Archipelago. Any additional
information that may be useful to the player when learning your randomizer should also go here. The file name format
is `<language key>_<game name>.md`. While you can write these docs for multiple languages, currently only the english
version is displayed on the website.
#### Tutorials
Your game can have as many tutorials in as many languages as you like, with each one having a relevant `Tutorial`
defined in the `WebWorld`. The file name you use isn't particularly important, but it should be descriptive of what
the tutorial covers, and the name of the file must match the relative URL provided in the `Tutorial`. Currently,
the JS that determines this ignores the provided file name and will search for `game/document_lang.md`, where
`game/document/lang` is the provided URL.
### Tests
Each world is expected to include unit tests that cover its logic, to ensure no logic bug regressions occur. This can be
done by creating a `/test` package within your world package. The `__init__.py` within this folder is where the world's
TestBase should be defined. This can be inherited from the main TestBase, which will automatically set up a solo
multiworld for each test written using it. Within subsequent modules, classes should be defined which inherit the world
TestBase, and can then define options to test in the class body, and run tests in each test method.
Example `__init__.py`
```python
from test.bases import WorldTestBase
class MyGameTestBase(WorldTestBase):
game = "My Game"
```
Next, using the rules defined in the above `set_rules` we can test that the chests have the correct access rules.
Example `test_chest_access.py`
```python
from . import MyGameTestBase
class TestChestAccess(MyGameTestBase):
def test_sword_chests(self) -> None:
"""Test locations that require a sword"""
locations = ["Chest1", "Chest2"]
items = [["Sword"]]
# this will test that each location can't be accessed without the "Sword", but can be accessed once obtained
self.assertAccessDependency(locations, items)
def test_any_weapon_chests(self) -> None:
"""Test locations that require any weapon"""
locations = [f"Chest{i}" for i in range(3, 6)]
items = [["Sword"], ["Axe"], ["Spear"]]
# this will test that chests 3-5 can't be accessed without any weapon, but can be with just one of them
self.assertAccessDependency(locations, items)
```
For more information on tests, check the [tests doc](tests.md).
