i cant make heads nor tails of this

[vagrant saddle]

create your event with pygame.event.custom_type()

await the word and send the event

[rustic valve]

NEWWORD = pygame.event.Event("num idk rn")
#in the appropriate func
await self.get_word()
pygame.event.post(NEWWORD)

like that?

[vagrant saddle]

more like ```py
NEWWORD_EVENT = pygame.event.custom_type()

async coroutine():
global CURRENT_WORD
while more_words:
CURRENT_WORD = await get_word()
pygame.event.post( pygame.event.Event(NEWWORD_EVENT) )

loop.create_task(coroutine())

and in event loop test for if event.type == NEWWORD_EVENT:

you did have a look to https://github.com/pygame-web/pygbag/issues/16 ?

[rustic valve]

so i should make a new coroutine function?

and where should i put loop.create_task(coroutine())

also thats missing the def lol

can i nest an event (e.g.) ```py
if event.type == MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
if event.type == NEWWORD_EVENT:
pass

[vagrant saddle]

that's pseudo code you will have to figure out yourself, no you cannot nest event use if : elif : elif :

[plucky estuary]

how doable would it be to make a game in python that runs on my console?

[rustic valve]

its extremely easy

[dawn quiver]

Do I really need a database to store information for a website or can I use my pc as database?

[rustic valve]

a database is recommended

[dawn quiver]

Is it free though?

[rustic valve]

there are tons of free databases

like mongodb

i think sql is free aswell

[dawn quiver]

Alright, thanks

Oh and is it possible to add images with python?

[rustic valve]

to your console?

[plucky estuary]

take like a super baisc game like pong(which i made using turtle), how could i make it in a way to play it on my xbox

[rustic valve]

im not sure, but you can edit images in python

[rustic valve]

im not sure of a way to port turtle to xbox

[dawn quiver]

No to a website for example. I just started with python but my idea was to make a website with python and html that shows shelfs with books. And you can like add your own book to it. But I need to know if it’s possible to add those book images to it.

[plucky estuary]

it doesnt have to be done with turtle, thats just what i made my pong out of

[rustic valve]

definitely you can

[rustic valve]

yes you can port a gui application to your xbox

[dawn quiver]

Oh okay, so I wouldn’t waste time trying?

[rustic valve]

no

[plucky estuary]

i guess my first question would be, how do i put a python file on a USB drive that runs when its plugged in

or is that the wrong route

[rustic valve]

how would i render a word from 1 to 9 characters in the center of the screen every time

[rustic valve]

man idk

you'd have to research yourself or get someone more competent than me

to help you

[plucky estuary]

well how do you get python program on xbox

from like app store?

[rustic valve]

🤷‍♂️ all i know is that its possible

[plucky estuary]

alright

thank you

[rustic valve]

yw

whoops

[vagrant saddle]

pff

[rustic valve]

what just happened

[vagrant saddle]

i sent you a discord invite to pygame community it was removed

[rustic valve]

ah

[vagrant saddle]

sent in pm

[rustic valve]

dm me it

thank

[vagrant saddle]

i don't use pygame myself, i just ported it to wasm so you'll get better answers there

[sturdy sandal]

i got the enemies to start moving as well as a beginning to a functional inventory and index on the game

i also added a floor level system, so you can climb down stairs to go to new, more difficult floors (this also reduces lag when reseting the map)

[brisk wing]

I wanna know who came here with question regarding GMTK game jam

[glass torrent]

Not I...

[sturdy sandal]

ive been working on the game index

[next iris]

obj = {}

def reg(name, cl):
    obj[name] = cl

def get(name):
    if name not in obj.keys(): return

    return obj[name]


class A:
    def __init__(self, x, y):
        self.x = x
        self.y = y

reg("test", A)

class B(A):
    def __init__(self, x, y):
        super().__init__(*args)

    def foo(self, a: int):
        self.x += a

reg("test2", B)


args = (100, 200)

b = get("test2")(*args)
print(b.y)

b.foo(100)

print(b.x)

Class register like in source

Wait

Asinio in pygame

Wow

So asincio can optimizate the pygame game?

[vagrant saddle]

not really, but it's usefull for short blocking I/O ( typically websockets) and allowing running on web

[next iris]

Ok

What if i use threading for game

[vagrant saddle]

threading is an Os thing, not a python thing

[hardy lotus]

anyone know how to make a rectangle in pygame?

[exotic niche]

The Pygame Summer Jam was an awesome experience
Thanks to everyone who helped and gave their feedback
Enjoy the journey of making of Alien Dimension

https://youtu.be/sa97mqWMoMk

[hybrid burrow]

Use pygame.Rect() class

Btw, have anyone of you ever used Blender Game Engine?

[hardy lotus]

pygame.draw.rect ya ik but it wont wokr

smth to do with repl.it

the site is just not made for pygame i htink

[hybrid burrow]

There is an option for pygame

[hardy lotus]

ik but its relatively new and its very buggy

but my coding teachers want me to use it

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hybrid burrow]

Ok

If you will need any help with problems, write me on priv

[hardy lotus]

whats priv?

[hybrid burrow]

I mean private message

Sorry, it wasn't too clear

[hardy lotus]

npnp

[hybrid burrow]

Have anyone heard about it?

[hardy lotus]

heard of it

[dawn quiver]

I know an entire animating studios that uses blender

Should I send a link

[hybrid burrow]

No, thanks. I was thinking about trying making games in it with python, so I asked to know if you have tried it and what is your opinion about it? Blender Game Engine / Unity / Panda3d?

[random roost]

What's the best library for mobile dev?

Like making mobile games in python

[warped widget]

in python ?

[warped widget]

i think kivy is best

because you can make both 2d and 3d directly

but you can prefer 2d pygame or 3d ursina

[snow hill]

yep, it's all in Python 🙂

[gusty mirage]

yo does anyone need a tutorial on requests and webscraping

[vagrant saddle]

as web games are also mobile, i'd remind both pygame and panda3D can run on webassembly and use dekstop python code for that no need to learn another engine

[hardy lotus]

hi

i am trying to add an obstacle to my code in pygame

i have a moving sprite

and i want another sprite

to appear on the window

here is my code:

[frank field]

Hey @hardy lotus!

You either uploaded a .txt file or entered a message that was too long. Please use our paste bin instead.

any help would be rlly appreciated

[main parcel]

How much python should i learn before i start learning pygame? I currently have the basics like variables, conditionals, loops, functions, but i havent learned oop yet.

[sterile violet]

You'd do well to learn oop. Almost everything that I'm doing right now in pygame needs classes. I say needs as in - it would be incredibly difficult to create a decent complex game without knowledge of oop.

[snow hill]

death to oop 🔥

[silent bear]

i made a game, a little Guess the number game but its only a code how do i give it a display, an interface, how to just convert the game code into a game

[silent bear]

is oop important in pygame?

[vagrant saddle]

oop is quite toxic in games, use entity component system model instead

but if not using pygame for a game ( eg someting like nodezator ), oop is usefull

[vagrant saddle]

then i'd say you need python classes skill, but not specifically oop

[dawn quiver]

I don't think one should jump into ECS right off the bat. Especially not by trying to write their own ECS architecture rather than using existing tools like Esper or PECS, which also requires considerable knowledge with classes and such.

OOP is a fine choice when starting out, but dont even think about the paradigm you are using when doing so, as Tim Peters once implied, you would be better off creating a class to contain your functioanality where it is appropriate, and a function where it makes more sense.

Also, I think the advice a little above implied "OOP" just meaning that they throw some class definitions around, rather than structuring your entire game to use it, by utilizing its features.

Regardless of whether or not you want to structure your codebase to use OOP, you should definitely learn how objects and types work in Python, as everything in Python is an object, and modules extend functionality to you by letting you use them. Understanding how they work can be largely beneficial.

[silent bear]

what is pygame? and is python even good for game development?

[vagrant saddle]

pygame is a wrapper around SDL library which is used for a lot of games or games engines, here you can find some demos that don't require installing https://pygame-web.github.io/

[vagrant saddle]

python classes are very versatile you can use them with inheritance (oop/c++/java) or composition(ECS/C) it's up to your design choices, you can even do polymorphism and mutations if you want to mess things up 😄

[dawn quiver]

Is there a way to render images with transparent canvas with Pygame?

I can't find much information on the subject...

[sturdy sandal]

[scenic shoal]

Hello guys I've been using pygame for almost 2 years now but I want to switch to 3d what do you recommend ursina or panda3d?

[warped widget]

if you like simple?

or simpler abstractions

[scenic shoal]

Nah man I want the one with the best advantages ,I don't care if it's hard/easy

[warped widget]

panda3d

use panda3d

[scenic shoal]

Thanx man :)

[dawn quiver]

Is there a way to render images with transparent canvas in Pygame?

[vagrant saddle]

do you mean images already set with an alpha channel or drawing any kind of image on a transparent background ?

for me canvas is something you draw "on" not "with"

[dawn quiver]

I have a 100+ game customizations in .png format that I need to render simultaneously to form a game character. However, regular Pygame image rendering causes the image backgrounds to be white, not transparent.

[dawn quiver]

https://pastebin.com/f2A16a1V I have the code in here, for some reason when I try to move a paddle, it actually increases size instead of moving, I have tried finding the issue but I can't find it....

[wet pewter]

    right_paddle = Paddle(PADDLE_HEIGHT, PADDLE_WIDTH, WINDOW_WIDTH - 10 - PADDLE_WIDTH, WINDOW_HEIGHT//2 - PADDLE_HEIGHT//2)
    left_paddle = Paddle(PADDLE_HEIGHT, PADDLE_WIDTH, 10, WINDOW_HEIGHT//2 - PADDLE_HEIGHT//2)
``` @dawn quiver

[dawn quiver]

Is that the problem?

Ahhh nothing is working, i dont get why 😭

I want my game to restart once the game has announced a winner, however it seems to freeze/lag once the game is over

Any ideas on the issue or whether this is pygame related?

!paste

[frank field]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[austere kraken]

Thx https://paste.pythondiscord.com/egodoqokuv

[native trellis]

i noticed that you added the line pygame.init(), the program still doesn't work?

[austere kraken]

It still doesn't work with and without, i'm pretty confused

[slow stag]

What are people's thoughts on pygame vs pyglet, in terms of beginner-friendliness?

(for simple game dev)

[native trellis]

Try removing pygame.quit() after you set run to False

It doesn't quit your program, but it's uninitializing all pygame modules, so, when you try to draw, it will raise an error

[austere kraken]

Just did that and now I literally can't close the pygame window, help

[native trellis]

It's probably because after the loop you call the main function again, try removing that as well

[native trellis]

Just close the terminal in which you executed the core

[austere kraken]

I can't run the code without that

Dw I closed it in TM

[austere kraken]

The main function is only called there if I click play

[native trellis]

You also call it in line 182 after the loop

[austere kraken]

Yes

To repeat it

Otherwise, the programme will end after 5000ms

But clearly it isnt repeating

[native trellis]

Why would it close after 5000ms?

[austere kraken]

I set it like that

[native trellis]

That should happen only if you have a winner

[austere kraken]

Thats what I meant

The winner text displays for 5000ms

But how do I restart it?

[native trellis]

If you have a winner, before breaking out of the loop, call the main function again

Oh, you also need to reset the HP for both players @austere kraken

[proud axle]

@austere kraken I would also remove all your game code outside the main loop and use the main loop to only control when and if the game runs. Like, create a func "StartGame" and put your events and all that in that function. Then when there is a winner have that function finish and give control back to the main loop, where you could prompt the user to play again ('restart') and if not, quit the program.

[dawn quiver]

is there a way i could switch glRotate to a camera rotation function ?
