Generate a new callback function for each unit instance. In the example below,
each instance has its own lambda function that is assigned to func. Each lambda
function remembers the instance's label as the argument's default value.
>>> class unit(object):
def __init__(self, label):
self.func = lambda x=label: another_function(x)
>>> def another_function(x):
print x
>>> u1 = unit(1)
>>> u2 = unit(2)
>>> u1.func()
1
>>> u2.func()
2

Subject: [pygame] Writing a simple GUI
Hi everyone,
I've just started learning Pygame (wrote a tetris game) and currently
I'm trying to write a simple turn-based strategy game, similar to
Advance Wars. What I need to implement now is a simple GUI system
which essentially provides menus to select what each unit does.
I decided to try to have a Tmenu class which consists of several
Toption instances (each one representing a menu option). The Toption
basically consists of a "label" member, a "image" member and a "func"
member. The func member is supposed to be a function that will be
executed when that specific option is selected.
But if I wanted to say, have an option for the selected unit to attack
an adjacent unit, the function I assigned to "func" couldn't possibly
know which unit is attacking which (since the arguments between
different functions should vary).
I thought about having a global variable that stores arguments that
the function could access but that seems to complicate the code and I
read that global variable use should be minimized.
So I'm wondering if someone could show me how I could solve this
problem so that the each menu option's function will have the
information it needs when it executes?
