hello, i have coins in my game that are 16x16 but ...
i don't understand your issue at all
you're using huge images to resize them to 32x32, then you make a board and you blit the tiles
what do you need
muted wadi
i scaled the coin image to 16x16 and printed them so it looks like on pic, now i want to make a coin going up and down from one top border to bottom and vice versa

you mean you want to make the coin animated ?
or you want to make it move in the board
muted wadi
you mean you want to make the coin animated ?
animated, move it down and up
fallow finch
animated, move it down and up
well, you have to code this yourself, there's no "animated surface" in pygame
muted wadi
well, you have to code this yourself, there's no "animated surface" in pygame
i dont know how so im asking for help
fallow finch
if its just about moving up and down you can use a global animation index
or you can make a list of surfaces for the animation (i recommend to do this with a rotating coin, going up and down isnt a good animation for a coin)
muted wadi
rotating animation is easier?
fallow finch
by rotating i don't mean rotating the surface
you see how mario coins look like ?
that's how a coin should be animated
but its not really related to your issue
i generaly make a global animation index (starts at 0 and is incremented at each iteration of the main loop), and i use it for all animations so everything is synchronized
like, if i have some animation in 20 frames i do animation_index % 20 to know the right frame to display
you can use this to make the coin move
muted wadi
https://pl.pinterest.com/pin/140033869651577325/
i wanted to do smth like that
without the particles at bottom
fallow finch
this is an animation you can't do with just moving the surface, the coin "rotates"
it's better to make an image with all the frames and import it as a list of 16x16 surfaces
also if its a grid making the coin move will not look good, its better to just have rotating coin like mario coins
like this one
muted wadi

this hasn't worked -- in particular the image tiles once and then doesn't again, once you scroll past that it stops tiling
would there just be a decent way of checking if the image is scrolled past the display screen so then I would run the tiling function every time it's needed? I think that would help with the performance quite a lot, I can't seem to find a good way to do this unfortunately
I guess a solution would be to simply check the layer's coordinates and see if the value's greater than the screen itself

we don't even know the library used...
manic totem
oh ok
my bad
so you able to help me if i send my code right
here, i cant send the code because of discord
woven canopy
Well, just at a glance...
you're just using 1 or -1 for the direction without any differentiation between moving in the X axis or Y axis
nor do you have any code to handle moving in the X direction at all
direction should probably be a tuple including an X and Y direction. EG, up {0,1} right {1,0} , down {0,-1}, left {-1,0}
(and perhaps some code to handle when 2 keys are pressed, like up and right {1,1} down right {1,-1} etc...
By extension, in the 3rd image. ```py
def move(self, direction, max_height):
if direction[1] > 0:
#handle moving up
elif direction[1] < 0:
#handle down
if direction[0] > 0:
#handle right
elif direction[0] < 0:
#handle left
might help
manic totem
thanks
woven canopy
np lemme know if that helps out. Btw, are you going for a platformer or like zelda top down movement?
manic totem
i want to make vertical shoot em up game
woven canopy
In either case, you might also consider the pygame.key.get_pressed
As with KEYDOWN and KEYUP you can run into weird behavior. EG right now if I'm holding "Up" and hit right to move that way, then release "Up" movement will stop in all directions
with get_pressed, if I've got Up, Down, and Right all pressed at once, you can add together all of the directions, Up and Down will cancel out, but I'll still be able to go right with them pressed.
Also you cna transition from moving up to down (or right to left) more easily
woven canopy
Also with get_pressed it'd be easier to recognize and handle diagonal movement.
manic totem
@woven canopy how do i make it stop while using get_pressed
woven canopy
Well it's been a hot minute since I messed with it but
Probably have something that looks liek this in your main game loop so it fires every frame.
direction = [0,0] #resets movement at the start of every frame
keys_pressed = pygame.keys.get_pressed() #checks for all keys that are currently pressed
if keys_pressed[K_UP] or keys_pressed[K_W]:
direction += [0,1]
if keys_pressed[K_DOWN] or keys_pressed[K_S]:
direction += [0,-1]
if keys_pressed[K_RIGHT] or keys_pressed[K_D]:
direction += [1,0]
if keys_pressed[K_LEFT] or keys_pressed[K_A]:
direction += [-1,0]
Basically, you set direction to 0 at the beginning of the frame, and then check which keys the player has held down and update direction before it's handed off to the actual movement code
Thus if no movement key is held, it'll default the character to stationary
manic totem
my character still keep moving even tho i i have let go the key movement
woven canopy
Can you post the section of code that reads your keys now, and the section that actually does the movement itself please?
(sry, am working so intermittent)

then you blit it at the center, you can use get_size() to get the width/height
fallow finch
and then you blit it at (destination width - surface width) / 2, (destination height - surface height) / 2
you can also use pygame.freetype to directly blit text instead of making a surface
but using the surface it's easy to center it

@fallow finch just a question what does the get_size() return
does it get returned as a list or tuple or?

You don't seem to be providing any info. See if you are using a physics engine like the PymunkPhysicsEngine it would be easier to handle collisions.
Also about the hitbox, it is automatically updated when the texture attribute is changed in 3.0.0.dev19.
So can you answer in a yes/no are you using a physics engine?

You are literally googling and pasting wrong or not very useful answers for me

hey all, I am going through Clear Code tutorial and I am not sure why he is saying at this point in the video that adding a update status method to the enemy update would cause it to then be performed on all visible sprites. Thank you for any help.

the only free music sofware i use for games aside Audacity of course is OpenMPT
the thing to make tracked music, very useful for games
i really don't know a real good music app that is free

it can be used for games but aside games it's kinda useless

looks like good free music apps really don't exist lol, never thought of this

no, it's music where you have samples and you write notes, kind of mix between midi and audio files

so your screenshot is what you want to do ?
you can use images or drawing functions from pygame
i think its better to use images rather than just rects
snow crane
so your screenshot is what you want to do ?
yes
snow crane
no
i just know how to draw it by drawing each line separately to draw that net
fallow finch
no
i just know how to draw it by drawing each line separately to draw that net
thats not really something you should do
just use an image its easier
its not apple II basic heh
snow crane
okay i found something and i think it could be correct but i can't adapt an image to the code
also i tried to draw one square and load it 6 times but same problem

probably i just don't know how to edit an image that i'm trying to load
fallow finch

hm so several problems here
first, dont load the same image several times, of course you can blit the same images more than once
then, blitting should be done at any iteration of the main loop, for example 60 times per second
and so pygame.display.flip() will be the end of your main loop
what do you mean by editing the image, you want to do what now
snow crane
what do you mean by editing the image, you want to do what now
i loaded this

your image is a black square ?

yes when i tried the option with loading it 6 times to make the net

hey there! I'm getting a really weird bug and was wondering if I'm just doing something wrong
so, I have code that lets me scroll a background image indefinitely (that, I don't plan on using afterall, because it is a bit too costly), and whenever it glides, I make in sort that every entity aside from the player (so, all npcs) are pushed alongside it (as it would be in most games, moving the background moves everything on it logically). But I am having a strange problem when there is more than one entity to move, in particular, they just don't all move
The code
def draw_moving_scene(self, screen, p:player, *ents:entity):
self.back.draw(screen, coord=(self.back.x1, self.back.rect.y))
self.back.draw(screen, coord=(self.back.x1 + screen.WIDTH, self.back.rect.y))
for e in ents:
if p.is_past_border():
self.back.x1 -= self.back.drawspeed
e.rect.x -= self.back.drawspeed
if p.is_before_border():
self.back.x1 += self.back.drawspeed
e.rect.x += self.back.drawspeed
if abs(self.back.x1) >= self.back.WIDTH:
self.back.x1 += self.back.WIDTH
e.draw(screen, False, (e.rect.x, e.rect.y))
p.draw(screen, False, (e.rect.x, e.rect.y))
e.rect.x -= self.back.drawspeed is what should push the entities out of the day when needed
it's a bit easier to see with a video
see?
okay so I found the problem but I can't seem to figure out something to fix it. Basically I need to get rid of the list for the moving function
because this works when there are 2 entities to move:
def draw_moving_scene(self, screen, p:player, *ents:entity):
self.back.draw(screen, coord=(self.back.x1, self.back.rect.y))
self.back.draw(screen, coord=(self.back.x1 + screen.WIDTH, self.back.rect.y))
if p.is_past_border():
self.back.x1 -= self.back.drawspeed
ents[0].dx -= self.back.drawspeed
ents[1].dx -= self.back.drawspeed
if p.is_before_border():
self.back.x1 += self.back.drawspeed
ents[0].dx += self.back.drawspeed
ents[1].dx += self.back.drawspeed
if abs(self.back.x1) >= self.back.WIDTH:
self.back.x1 += self.back.WIDTH
ents[0].draw(screen, False, (ents[0].rect.x, ents[0].rect.y))
ents[1].draw(screen, False, (ents[1].rect.x, ents[1].rect.y))
p.draw(screen, False, (p.rect.x, p.rect.y))
remediated code:
def draw_moving_scene(self, screen:screen, p:player, *ents:entity):
"""draw all elements of a scene and perform all necessary calculations to move objects in the scene approriately
Args:
screen (screen): The screen to blit to
p (player): the player object
"""
p.update_borders()
self.back.draw(screen, coord=(self.back.x1, self.back.rect.y))
self.back.draw(screen, coord=(self.back.x1 + screen.WIDTH, self.back.rect.y))
p.borderMoveLayer(self.back.drawspeed, self.back)
if ents:
p.borderMoveEnt(self.back.drawspeed, *ents)
for e in ents:
e.draw(screen, False, (e.rect.x, e.rect.y))
p.draw(screen, False, (p.rect.x, p.rect.y))
# Player Class
def update_borders(self) -> None:
self.past_border = self.rect.x > self.border and self.action == 1
self.befr_border = self.rect.x < self.border and (self.action == 1 and self.charaFlip == 1)
def borderMoveEnt(self, speed:float, *ent:entity) -> None:

Yep! The theme for the game jam I'm participating in is "Fool the player". The type annotations are misleading, so you have to select the values based on your knowledge too. Or you can guess and have fun :)
If the program executes without any errors, you get gold, otherwise you get fool's goold(pyrite) (the other theme is 'Gold')

Hey, I'm trying to make a window close once I click escape, I'm newish to python and would like some help if possible.
Here is the code I have right now >
import pygame
while True:
pygame.display.init()
pygame.display.set_mode(size=(1000, 1000))
pygame.display.flip()
If you can direct me to any websites or anything that will give me some sort of material of how to figure this out that’d be great.
patent mantle
so that will begin the instance or initialize the prgram?
oh, I thought it looked something like that, sorry. I did it last night and forgot to save, I had close to exactly that
yeah, its just hard to remember
im taking cs in school but it's not the best... teaching method you could say.
thats what ive been doing all day, ill do the same with that.
lmao alright
true
I've been on the fence for most of this stuff "python" mostly because of the things you can do with it; game development, app development, you could make an OS if you wanted.
thats the main reason I don't know some things yet, haven't researched. Thought if I choose one thing, I would switch to another. The reason I'm making a minecraft clone as my first project.
so, just start with little things, progress the way you want to but in small doses so you can understand/ comprehend what you're trying to learn as well as be able to use what you've learned with any project/ mastering it.
good idea tbh
but, other than that. Now I have to go define my verticies and make a cube in a 3d display. for the game ofc.
tawdry wharf
Not to be rude, @dawn quiver , but it is unnessasary to set the window mode and initialize every frame.
Maybe try the following instead?
import pygame
pygame.display.init()
pygame.display.set_mode((800,600))
running = True
while running:
pygame.display.flip()
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
running = False
elif event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
if event.key == pygame.K_ESCAPE:
running = False
pygame.display.quit()
import pygame
import sys
class Template:
def __init__(self):
pygame.init()
self.clock = pygame.time.Clock()
self.screen = pygame.display.set_mode((800, 600))
def run(self):
while True:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
pygame.quit()
sys.exit()
pygame.display.update()
self.clock.tick(60)
if __name__ == '__main__':
template = Template()
template.run()

I fixed the aspect ratio if you’re curious
fallow glade
so i hear when using get_pressed you dont need to use .KEYUP but with some reaso...
You will need to do direction = [0, 0] inside the while loop
Otherwise the last mod sticks until next direction change
Remove the first four if elif block too
It's entirely useless when the lower one exists
Alternately, you can modify the if elif chains topy if pygame.key.get_pressed()[pygame.K_w]: direction[1] = 1 elif pygame.key.get_pressed()[pygame.K_s]: direction[1] = -1 else: direction[1] = 0
^ The lower chain, the upper chain can be deleted

hmm thanks
so i just need to move the direction = [0, 0] inside the while loop
lets go it work

not related to mac, they're just python libs
you can use them with commands

you have to install the modules first

fallow finch
cx_freeze is easy and 100% safe but source code is present as bytecode, and so there's a lot of small files, not the best to install and it's easy to get the code
and nuitka can bundle the code in the exe file but it's harder to use

fallow finch
adding a digital signature to the exe can maybe fix the issue with pyinstaller, signed exes arent detected as malware generaly
exotic echo
i think its good option?
fallow finch
so i use cx?
if you don't care about having a lot of files yes
exotic echo
it needs to be smaller than 1gb
fallow finch
you'll get a folder full of .pyc files and other python related stuff
exotic echo
will it work?
fallow finch
not 1GB but can be large
like, easily 60-70MB if you're using different libraries
like numpy, pillow...
fallow finch
when you make a exe distribution you bundle the python interpreter and the python modules
so the players can play without installing python and the modules
fallow finch
python is not compiled, pygame will not be converted as machine code
you have to bundle it to make a exe with a game made with it
exotic echo
so what do i use tell me what do i download
which software to help
making the launcher
fallow finch
they are python modules
and it's not a launcher it's just making a .exe file that acts as if you run the main python file
exotic echo
yes
fallow finch
pip install cx_freeze to install cx_freeze, then you make a setup file, you run it and you get the exe
exotic echo
terminal
exotic echo
you write it on the terminal, how do you want more info
so i just open a terminal tab paste the thing and it is done`?
exotic echo
so do i download cx_freeze
fallow finch
you can easily find setup file examples on the net
fallow finch
so do i download cx_freeze
you pip install it
it's a python module
like pygame or any lib
fallow finch
open terminal
fallow finch
type pip install cx_freeze
i mean, you never installed a lib ?
how do you made a game so
with tkinter ?
fallow finch
so you already installed a lib
exotic echo
i do that?
what do u mean
i put that in search?
plz dont give up on me
dont leave me
exotic echo
for terminal?
exotic echo
so what do i do
i put the pip install autopip install cx_freeze in the terminal
now?
plz dont leave
fallow finch
now?
you have to make a setup file
you can easily find example setup files on the net
exotic echo
can u send me

i put this?

well, looks like you don't really know what you're doing

are you sure you have to make exe now ?

fallow finch
make exe only to distribute a finished game

otherwise just distribute the python file
it's easier for running it on all platforms

afaik people use pyinstaller for that, but you may want to try pygame wasm on web too for platforms that don't support .exe
fallow finch
how do i turn pygame games into exe
use cx freeze or nuitka
pyinstaller is easy to use but its bad
cx freeze is easy to use but bytecode files are present (so source code is kinda visible and there's a lot of files)
and nuitka can bundle all the code in the exe but its harder to use

Hey, I might need this by 31st for a game jam submission on itch.io. I've made it work before, but not with a dynamic aspect ratio. What are your thoughts on this? Is it doable with pygbag
How I initialize the display:
self.shared.screen = pygame.display.set_mode(
self.shared.SCRECT.size, pygame.NOFRAME
)
How SCRECT is defined:
user32 = ctypes.windll.user32
SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT = user32.GetSystemMetrics(0), user32.GetSystemMetrics(1)
SCRECT = pygame.Rect(0, 0, SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT)
If not I can probably just set a fixed size for the display when I'm building the game with pygbag, but just curious if this is possible

you could ask the browser for the window size but beware that anything > 1024x600 may be too much for a lot of device like tablets or chromebooks
so better use 1024x600 ( or adjust for ratio ) and let browser upscale

but it's not it is only valid on wasm 😄

there's not much in stdlib platform module 😦

By the way, what was the sys.platform output for pygbag exactly
vagrant saddle
on wasm it can be emscripten or wasi

All lowercase?

lowercase yes, and emscripten can run on Node or Browser

hmm..okay silly mistake, i didnt check to make sure the code i was building actually worked
now i did, and packaged that code with pygbag
but yeah, same result
okay, update, it shows the first frame in the embed
but then it stops
so i know for sure my code is working to have reached that point
after i click "stop" when firefox prompted that it was slowing down the browser this happens
but its static
is it just... really laggy?
i do have one successful pygbag project from a while back
tried using an older pygbag version too.. 0.1.5.. but it doesn't seem to be working(almost the exact same result)
I give up.. I'm going to submit the game for now and then maybe add the browser support later
please look at this #1091401732967366818
vagrant saddle
is it just... really laggy?
firefox is usually way slower than chromium based browser, also size of rendering surface has a lot of impact on speed

end of game.py should be something like ```py

while True:
self._update()
self._draw()
await asyncio.sleep(0)
def main():
game = Game()
asyncio.run( game.run() )````

maybe it's the screenshot section
i looked there but there doesnt seem to be an option to add one 🤔

isnt pkg like msi for mac ?
also file archive extensions arent uniform, a lot of games use the same format but the data isnt stored in the same way
UE5's .pak files and popcap's .pak files arent the same
or .arc files from nintendo arent the same thing depending on the game
you can use a modified zip, however decoding it will take time and some ram to decode it, especially if you don't want to temporarily store the decoded files
a lot of proprietary archive files in games are xor encrypted non-compressed files
and then they have a function to read the bytes and they can open the files nearly at the same speed than non-archived files, but encryption is weak, and you should not write this in python too

if you want to make a proprietary compressed archive file in python i can just recommend you to split into different archive files to avoid this
also, keep in mind music files should be streamed instead of being loaded in ram, so if you have large wav/ogg or even mp3 files, you'll have to store them somewhere in temp folder
you should focus on this (from most important to less important)
1 - loading time
2 - compression
3 - encryption
4 - amount of files
