The missing gamification plugin for Django

Project description

PyPI version Build Status

Django Gamification aims to fill the gamification sized hole in the Django package ecosystem. In the current state, Django Gamification provides a set of models that can be used to implement gamification features in your application. These include a centralised interface for keeping track of all gamification related objects including badges, points, and unlockables.

Installation

Download from PyPI:

pip install django-gamification

And add to your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    .
    .
    .
    'django_gamification'
]

Features and Examples

Concepts

Django Gamification requires the understanding of a few core concepts. - BadgeDefinitions: A template used to create new Badges and update existing Badges. - Badge: An object that represents some achievable objective in the system that can award points and track its own progression. - UnlockableDefinition: A template used to create new Unlockables and update existing Unlockables. - Unlockable: An object that is achieved by some accumulation of points. - Category: An object used to label other objects like Badges via their BadgeDefinition.

Interfaces

Creating an interface

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.db import models
from django_gamification.models import GamificationInterface

class YourUserModel(models.User):
    # Your user fields here

    # The gamification interface
    interface = models.ForeignKey(GamificationInterface)

BadgeDefinitions and Badges

Creating a new badge

By creating a new BadgeDefinition, Django Gamification will automatically create Badge instances for all your current GamificationInterfaces with Badge.name, Badge.description, Badge.points, Badge.progression and Badge.category mimicking the fields on the BadgeDefinition.

from django_gamification.models import BadgeDefinition, Category

BadgeDefinition.objects.create(
    name='Badge of Awesome',
    description='You proved your awesomeness',
    points=50,
    progression_target=100,
    category=Category.objects.create(name='Gold Badges', description='These are the top badges'),
)

Awarding a badge

You can manually award a Badge instance using Badge.award().

from django_gamification.models import Badge

badge = Badge.objects.first()
# badge.acquired = False

badge.award()
# badge.acquired = True

UnlockableDefinitions and Unlockables

Creating a new unlockable

By creating a new UnlockableDefinition, Django Gamification will automatically create Unlockable instances for all your current GamificationInterfaces with Unlockable.name, Unlockable.description, Unlockable.points_required mimicking the fields on the UnlockableDefinition.

from django_gamification.models import UnlockableDefinition

UnlockableDefinition.objects.create(
    name='Some super sort after feature',
    description='You unlocked a super sort after feature',
    points_required=100
)
