Example: Creating a new level from scratch

from dustmaker.level import Level
from dustmaker.tile import Tile, TileShape
from dustmaker.dfwriter import DFWriter

# Create a new empty level and add some tiles.
level = Level()
level.name = b"my level!"
level.virtual_character = True
for i, shape in enumerate(TileShape):
    level.tiles[(19, 2 * i, i)] = Tile(shape)

# Automatically figure out edge solidity and connectivity flags
level.calculate_edge_visibility()
level.calculate_edge_caps()

# Write level to a file
with DFWriter(open("mylevel.dflevel", "wb")) as writer:
    writer.write_level(level)

Example: Counting how many apples are in a level

from dustmaker.dfreader import DFReader
from dustmaker.entity import Apple

with DFReader(open("mylevel.dflevel", "rb")) as reader:
    level = reader.read_level()

apples = 0
for x, y, entity in level.entities.values():
    if isinstance(entity, Apple):
        apples += 1

print(f"Level has {apples} apples")
