[fallow finch]

i think you just don't get how to use it correctly

[dawn quiver]

i look at a stackoverflow question, it gave the same results

[fallow finch]

well glfw is probably gonna be even harder then pyglet for you

because its even more low level

[dawn quiver]

if it has more functionality, i will most likely will adapt to glfw

Hey Guys Could Anyone Knows Pygame, Could You Plz Say Why The Player Is'nt In The Screen Bounds?

def player_movements():
    keys_pressed = pygame.key.get_pressed()
    if keys_pressed[pygame.K_LEFT] and player.x > 0:
        player.x -= 50
    if keys_pressed[pygame.K_RIGHT] and player.x < WIDTH - player.width:
        player.x += 50
    if keys_pressed[pygame.K_UP] and player.y > 0:
        player.y -= 50
    if keys_pressed[pygame.K_DOWN] and player.y < HEIGHT - player.height:
        player.y += 50
 ```Please Take A Look 🥺

I wish someone comes here a bit early

just if anyone want to test with full code

this is player.png

full code:

import pygame
import os

WIDTH, HEIGHT = 900, 500
window = pygame.display.set_mode((WIDTH, HEIGHT))
player = pygame.draw.rect(window, (255, 0, 0), (2.3, 2.3, 45, 45))

TILE_SIZE = 50
NUM_TILES_WIDTH = WIDTH // TILE_SIZE
NUM_TILES_HEIGHT = HEIGHT // TILE_SIZE

BG_COLOR = (176, 224, 230)
TILE_COLOR = (255, 255, 255)
playerImage = pygame.image.load(os.path.join("player.png"))

def draw_background():
    for i in range(NUM_TILES_WIDTH):
        for j in range(NUM_TILES_HEIGHT):
            x = i * TILE_SIZE
            y = j * TILE_SIZE
            pygame.draw.rect(window, TILE_COLOR, (x, y, TILE_SIZE, TILE_SIZE), 1)

def player_movements():
    keys_pressed = pygame.key.get_pressed()
    if keys_pressed[pygame.K_LEFT] and player.x > 0:
        player.x -= 50
    if keys_pressed[pygame.K_RIGHT] and player.x < WIDTH - player.width:
        player.x += 50
    if keys_pressed[pygame.K_UP] and player.y > 0:
        player.y -= 50
    if keys_pressed[pygame.K_DOWN] and player.y < HEIGHT - player.height:
        player.y += 50

def game():
    running = True

    while running:
        for event in pygame.event.get():
            if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
                running = False
            player_movements()

        window.fill(BG_COLOR)
        draw_background()
        window.blit(playerImage, player)

        pygame.display.update()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    game()

Could Anyone Plz Take A Look?

@fallow finch i see your active most of the time in this #game-development i really wish you could take a look and ans whats the problem

[fallow finch]

i told u the thing in general

you'll also never make a cool looking game if the player moves from 50 pixels

[hollow kettle]

but then the player won't move

[fallow finch]

aside if its grid based game

[hollow kettle]

It Is a grid base game 🙂

i had only have 1 year of exp in python plz help

[fallow finch]

if its a grid based game you should define the level first

dont use the limits of the screen to make the game

[hollow kettle]

It's Not With Level

It's A bit different no levels

[fallow finch]

yea but there's something to implement first

[hollow kettle]

but maybe there will be levels in the future that time i will be editing the whole code

[fallow finch]

like, in what area can the player move

don't just use the screen's limits

your screen width and height is most likely not a multiple of 50

[hollow kettle]

so you can see i provided the all code & images plz use them so you can understand exactly

[fallow finch]

and you can also make code that would work for any tile size

instead of just 50

so if you want to change it you can

[hollow kettle]

you might not understand if i say, even idk how to say it to you

@fallow finch just take a little play of the game you can understand ig?

[fallow finch]

i see you have a player that's limited just by the window size

which is not a really good way to do the things

[hollow kettle]

why so?

[fallow finch]

because you should define a proper game area

especially for a grid based game

[hollow kettle]

it's 900x500

the whole grid size also

[fallow finch]

yea but define a game area

you may want to change size of the tiles later

or add hud, ...

i don't have player.png btw

[hollow kettle]

@fallow finch this is player.png

[hollow kettle]

wdym exactly? i don't understand what u mean.

@fallow finch

[fallow finch]

so i get what the game is

[hollow kettle]

Yeah

Good

[fallow finch]

you have a grid, so what you should do is to define a list of lists for the "level"

and limiting the player movement / making collisions should be done using the indexes of the list

not the position in pixels

[hollow kettle]

yes, i think i do that in furtue cuz this thing is just a test for all Square's To Work, Everything's Functionalty To Work

[fallow finch]

make it so the index of the player can't be less than 0 or more than the last element of the list

don't use pixel position

[hollow kettle]

how to do that if it's the level and the player i do add more right?

[fallow finch]

well you make code to handle different levels

each level can be a list of lists

you can even make levels with different sizes

[hollow kettle]

uhm, but idk how to do it, i always use pixel position could you please edit the current code and send it to me?

[fallow finch]

don't

using pixel position is 100x harder and it will not allow you to change size of your game or your tiles

[hollow kettle]

sus

uhmm, Yeah i will not do that anyways

[fallow finch]

especially for stuff like collisions, it would be terrible to do it with pixel position

[hollow kettle]

could you just fix the boundries issue?

[fallow finch]

but its not how you're intended to do it

[hollow kettle]

i will do it with the images

[fallow finch]

cmon you have 20 lines of code

you made nothing for now, you can still change everything

[hollow kettle]

50*

[fallow finch]

its really really a few

[hollow kettle]

then we can discuss in the Dm's Exactly How The Game's Levels Gonna Be?

or here?

np for me anywhere

[fallow finch]

here's some values of your rect during runtime

you DON'T want to work with this to make the collisions and stuff

for a simple grid game

[fallow finch]

[[0, 0, 0, 0],
 [0, 0, 0, 0],
 [1, 1, 0, 1],
 [1, 1, 1, 1]]

can be a 4x4 level

of course you can use strings or enums for the elements, integers are not really readable

[hollow kettle]

means the player position right?

[fallow finch]

no the list of list could be the level

the player position will be 2 numbers

[hollow kettle]

😵‍💫

[fallow finch]

a level is a grid

[hollow kettle]

you're confusing me

[fallow finch]

you get this ?

[hollow kettle]

Yes

[fallow finch]

if 0 is void and 1 is grass, a level could be this

[hollow kettle]

Shall I Say The Game Idea, so that you can me what exactly?

[fallow finch]

well its a grid game, and each tile will contain elements

i know this

you'll add boxes to push and stuff like this then ?

[hollow kettle]

Game Idea: Your The Square And there are some other squares which have some abilities Some Positive Or Negative You Have To Fight With Enemies By Going on their tile if they come at you u die, the enimies and u can still dodge them, it's simple game with different levels(different blocks).

[hollow kettle]

Yeah, Thanks For The Idea

i will change how they will attack

you have to push/throw things

[fallow finch]

well that's one more thing that is 100x easier to do without using pixel position

[hollow kettle]

that would be good

[fallow finch]

but do you get why using pixel position is bad

[hollow kettle]

ik ik

[hollow kettle]

Yeah, I Understand But I Like To Do The Hard way, and most games hard way is pixel position so.. yeah?

Okay, Now Say Your Talking

[fallow finch]

if you have free move or non-grid based game you need kind of pixel position

but if you want to resize your game or use different size for the tiles, you have to make complex formulas

instead of just list indexes

[hollow kettle]

uhmm, could you plz make the player to not go outside of the screen bounds

[fallow finch]

before doing this

[hollow kettle]

kk

[fallow finch]

we have to create a level

[hollow kettle]

Ok, Now Could You Please Say How Do I Make This Levels? like if you defeat all enimies you go to the next level instead of the Menu Screen.

[fallow finch]

you want to implement a lot of things but you have to know what to implement first

[hollow kettle]

shall i create the enemy.png first?

[fallow finch]

nooo

[hollow kettle]

@fallow finch

[fallow finch]

we're gonna make levels, then player movement, and then maybe enemies

your grid is 18x10
so we need a list of 10 elements, each element will be a list of 18 elements

[hollow kettle]

what?

[fallow finch]

your grid is 18x10

[hollow kettle]

each tile is 50x50 and the screen is 900x500

[fallow finch]

ur okay with this ?

yes, that makes a 18x10 grid

180 elements in a level

[hollow kettle]

Okk

[fallow finch]

ur okay with this ?

[hollow kettle]

YeahYeah

[fallow finch]

so we need a 10x18 list of lists

what elements do you want at first ?

a void tile and a wall tile ?

[hollow kettle]

😵‍💫 that's a lot

[hollow kettle]

hmm you mean a square right?

[fallow finch]

well if list of lists are too complex for you you're maybe not used to python enough

[hollow kettle]

like different type of square right sus?

[fallow finch]

we're talking of the level in the memory

[hollow kettle]

it's not complex, it's just a lot of things

[fallow finch]

not how its displayed

[fallow finch]

no its not

[hollow kettle]

okok

[fallow finch]

it will be displayed as a square but now we're talking of how it will be in the list

[hollow kettle]

then what's wall tile and void tile?

[fallow finch]

to make a level

[hollow kettle]

oh!! How it functions?

[fallow finch]

right now all your tiles contain nothing

[hollow kettle]

im not understanding

[hollow kettle]

Yeah

[fallow finch]

we're not displaying a level now

we're making a list

do you want some tiles to be walls for example ?

[hollow kettle]

So your saying we have to add a wall

[fallow finch]

yeah you have to add some elements i guess

or you want the grid to be always empty ?

[hollow kettle]

So we shall attack the enime with blocks

i have a idea

[fallow finch]

enemies arent for now AT ALL

you don't understand a list of list and you want to add enemies...

[hollow kettle]

we have some walls which are pushable but only in one direction left,right,up or down so let's make that

[fallow finch]

...

[hollow kettle]

practical futre example

[hollow kettle]

that's the tile i want to add..

[fallow finch]

but that's too hard for now

we're gonna make the simple things first

just a solid wall that can't be moved

and void

[hollow kettle]

Ok! But even if we add it the player can go outside the boundries of the screen right? i don't want it to happen

could we do that first?

[fallow finch]

we cant

because we need the list first !!!

[hollow kettle]

why?

why do we need that?

[fallow finch]

the limitation will be
the player position (indexes in the list) cant go outside of the list's length

[hollow kettle]

to make the player not go outside the screen boundries?

[fallow finch]

the player cant exist without the list

because the position will be 2 indexes in the list

[hollow kettle]

im not understanding this list thingy

[fallow finch]

we're NOT gonna use pixel position for logic !!!

[fallow finch]

forget about the player

we're gonna make a level and display it

then we'll re-add the player

we have NO player right now

and we want to make a LEVEL

ur okay with this ?

[hollow kettle]

Okay Just wait and come to Dm's Plz

[hollow kettle]

we have?

[fallow finch]

if you want this okay

[torn jackal]

hello guys i am now making a video game and i would like that the player can moove in the same time ZQSD and the mouse. How can i make my program to get several events ?

[fallow finch]

what are you using to test events

[torn jackal]

for event in pygame.event.get() : if event.type ... ....

[fallow finch]

you can use a keydown event

or use pygame.keys.get_pressed()

[torn jackal]

how do we use it ?

[fallow finch]

pygame.keys.get_pressed() will return all the keys that are actually pressed

when the function is called

[torn jackal]

oh cool

[fallow finch]

while a KEYDOWN event is just when you press a key

even if you hold its still one event

[torn jackal]

i didnt know about pygame.keys.get_pressed()

trank you very much i am going to try it

[fallow finch]

you can use just KEYDOWN

[torn jackal]

it doesnt work

[fallow finch]

but get_pressed() is generaly used in games

[fallow finch]

it works, you just need to use it correctly

[torn jackal]

it just takes event one byu one

[fallow finch]

yes it's when a key is pressed

not when you hold it

there's KEYDOWN and KEYUP (pressing, and unleash it)

get_pressed() is generaly used for games, because you use a lot of keys at the same time

[torn jackal]

i actually do

ty

👍 👍

[torn jackal]

@fallow finch hey again, pygame.key.get_pressed works perfectly for ZQSD, but how can i have the control of the keyboard and of the mouse

[fallow finch]

the keys are a part of the keyboard wdym

it's K_LEFT, K_RIGHT, ...

[torn jackal]

oh sorry

thats better

do u have an idea ?

[fallow finch]

an idea of what ?

[torn jackal]

this

[fallow finch]

like for ever other key

K_LEFT is left key, ...

[torn jackal]

i would like to moove the mouse and have the control of the keys

[fallow finch]

yes you can do both

what are you stuck with ?

i don't see any problem

[torn jackal]

let me show u

`
if pygame.key.get_pressed()[pygame.K_d] == True and Player.x < Player.New_coords(1536-400, Player.y)[0] :

        Player.moove_right()

        

    if pygame.key.get_pressed()[pygame.K_q] == True and Player.x > Player.New_coords(400, Player.y)[0] :

            
        Player.moove_left()


    if pygame.key.get_pressed()[pygame.K_z] == True and Player.y > 0 :

            
        Player.moove_up()


    if pygame.key.get_pressed()[pygame.K_s] == True and Player.y + Sprite().scale_image(Player.image)[1] < Sprite().New_coords(0,864)[1]:        
        Player.moove_down()

`

dont pay attention at the other part of the condition

[fallow finch]

yes i pay attention

don't mix game condition with key pressed conditions, even a nested if would fit better here

its really a bad thing for readability and maintainability, what if you want to add a main menu, a pause screen, ...

[torn jackal]

so should i make a list named "moove" which has every events ?

[fallow finch]

i know you're True == True man but don't do this too its useless

[torn jackal]

lmao

[fallow finch]

the key pressed tests should be clean

don't say "if space is pressed and the player is also shooting at a cow"

[torn jackal]

okay i get it

[fallow finch]

so, wheres the problem here

are you french btw

[torn jackal]

well the problem is that when i press any key the mouse gets locked

[torn jackal]

yes i am 🥖

[fallow finch]

i am too

[fallow finch]

that means nothing

where is your code for mouse

[torn jackal]

Cursor.x, Cursor.y = pygame.mouse.get_pos() Cursor.display(0,0)

[fallow finch]

you can use tuples

there's a tuple in your name

so what happens with this

when you're pressing a key the cursor doesnt move ?

or the whole app is frozen ?

[torn jackal]

no

i just cant moove my mouse when i press a key

[fallow finch]

even outside of the game window ?

[torn jackal]

yes i can moove my mouse outside

[fallow finch]

so its just the cursor you're displaying that doesnt move ?

[torn jackal]

yes

[fallow finch]

i think it's hidden in your app (the real mouse pointer)

show it first

and then try to fix the cursor thing

[torn jackal]

the entire code ?

[fallow finch]

no

unhide the mouse

[torn jackal]

k

[fallow finch]

hide =/= show

[torn jackal]

still the same

[fallow finch]

the real mouse is stuck ?

[torn jackal]

yes

except outside of the window of course

[fallow finch]

you're locking it somewhere i guess

it's free when you unleash the key ?

[torn jackal]

yes it is

[fallow finch]

or is it just freezing for tiny moment

[torn jackal]

yes but the game doesnt freeze

[fallow finch]

but if you press a key for 10 seconds

[torn jackal]

i just cant moove my mouse when i press a key

[fallow finch]

are you able to move the mouse sometimes

or is it stuck completely

[torn jackal]

i can moove it during a really small second

[fallow finch]

and then nothing ?

or you can move it for a small second sometimes

looks like your app is "semi-freezing" because of super badly optimized code

[torn jackal]

no i totally cannot

[fallow finch]

you're literally resizing an image for a test here, idk what you're doing with the mouse

what happens when there's a mousemotion event

[torn jackal]

the mouse is just supposed to moove as usual

so there s no mousemotion event

[fallow finch]

maybe your code is so badly optimized that it's semi-freezing like i'm sayin

[torn jackal]

oh i think i get it

[fallow finch]

i would like to see whole code now

[torn jackal]

wait just for a sec

ok i dont

[torn jackal]

actually it is quite good optimized, the thing is that i am badly handling the events

[fallow finch]

no its not

[fallow finch]

this is absolutely terrible

scale_image resizes an image right ?

[torn jackal]

no

it just gives the right size for every monitor

[fallow finch]

mh

can i see the whole code

i thought you were new to python, because of the if condition == True statements

[torn jackal]

yeah I know i can just del the == True but i am trying to make code the most fluent i can

[fallow finch]

don't

nobody uses this

you'll just look like a newbie (if you're not one)

[torn jackal]

i dont know if it is a good idea to drop the whole code online

[fallow finch]

use pastebin

i don't think people will steal this code tbh

[torn jackal]

idk

actually my whole problem is that i am not handling the events properly, this isnt cuz of the optimization

[fallow finch]

you're locking the mouse somewhere

can you show at least the code for the events

[torn jackal]

`
for event in pygame.event.get() :

`

the whole thing is here

[fallow finch]

pastebin exists...

[torn jackal]

whats it

[fallow finch]

large code blocks are also a feature of discord

[fallow finch]

a site to post large text files

[torn jackal]

dont know about it

[fallow finch]

you can use use large code block so we can see indents

3 x ` instead of 1

you can edit the previous thing to fix

[torn jackal]

you cant read what i sent ?

[fallow finch]

what is this...

try to keep one test then try with none of them (for the keys)

to see if the mouse is unlocked or not

[torn jackal]

although the function s name sucks, it gives the right player's velocity when he is holding Kz and Kd for example

[torn jackal]

wait actually i dont get it

do i have to do a test without these events ?

or without one of the condition ?

hello ?

[fallow finch]

try to remove all your tests

and see if the mouse is still locked

[torn jackal]

nothing has changed

[fallow finch]

so the mouse issue is something else

i hope you're really talking of the real mouse, not your cursor image

[torn jackal]

yes, it is the same thing for both of em

[fallow finch]

so try to remove other parts of the code

are you sure you have no code related to the mouse ?

[torn jackal]

nothin

[fallow finch]

try to remove your cursor thing

idk

because there's something wrong in your project

[torn jackal]

i have already tried

[fallow finch]

i think you have to send whole code at this point

[torn jackal]

indeed

[fallow finch]

be sure to send all the files and be sure to use pastebin too

[torn jackal]

actually i cant

[fallow finch]

why

[torn jackal]

i know this errors looks like it is in a 50 lines program, but thats actually the beginning of a pretty big video games of 1000lines

[fallow finch]

1000 is mid

[torn jackal]

yes it is

[fallow finch]

definitely not too large for pastebin

i mean

[torn jackal]

i def cant send all my code to someone i dont know

[fallow finch]

if its like one of your first games made with pygame i don't see the reason

you're planning selling it or what

i'm not telling you to send all assets too, just the code

[torn jackal]

yes i am

[fallow finch]

i'm pretty sure it will still change nothing tho

[torn jackal]

this code also has secret passwords to access to my dbs

[fallow finch]

just replace/remove the passwords

or dont show the files that you know they arent related

[torn jackal]

i cant take the risk

[fallow finch]

can you at least show the file that contains the event code, like the whole file

[torn jackal]

this is what i sent

upper

[fallow finch]

its the whole file ?

[torn jackal]

no, just the event part

[fallow finch]

well looks like we can't help you :)

[torn jackal]

ty anyway

    self.coin = pygame.image.load('levels/decoration/istkart/istkart1').convert_alpha()
    self.coin_rect = self.coin.get_rect(topleft = (50,61))
    self.font = pygame.font.Font('levels/ui/ARCADEPI.ttf',30)

def show_health(self,current,full):
    self.display_surface.blit(self.health_bar,(20,10))
    current_health_ratio = current / full
    current_bar_width = self.bar_max_width * current_health_ratio
    health_bar_rect = pygame.Rect(self.health_bar_topleft,(current_bar_width,self.bar_height))
    pygame.draw.rect(self.display_surface,'#dc4949',health_bar_rect)

def show_coins(self,amount):
    self.display_surface.blit(self.coin,self.coin_rect)
    coin_amount_surf = self.font.render(str(amount),False,'#33323d')
    coin_amount_rect = coin_amount_surf.get_rect(midleft = (self.coin_rect.right + 4,self.coin_rect.centery))
    self.display_surface.blit(coin_amount_surf,coin_amount_rect)

and there's the my main

import pygame, sys
from settings import *
from level import Level
from game_data import level_0
from ui import UI

class Game:
def imit(self):
#oyun verileri
self.max_health = 100

self.coins = 0

    #ui
    self.ui = UI(screen)

    if self.status == 'level':
                  
       self.ui.show_health(50,100)
       self.ui.show_coins(12)    

pygame.init()

pygame.quit()
sys.exit()

level.run()

pygame.display.update()
clock.tick(60)

[fallow finch]

you can at least use triple `

[ashen stream]

i guess problem is def run

[fallow finch]

the interesting part is level.run(), and i don't have it

can you show it but in a code block this time

[ashen stream]

could u dm me pls i can send u my codes

i really need help at this situation

[fallow finch]

no we can stay here

everyone wants dm only but there's no valid reason to do it in dm

[ashen stream]

i watch the youtuber and he makes more levels

like level 1 ,2,3 but i skip this

bcz i want 1 level

[fallow finch]

looks like you're just watching a tutorial without understanding how it works

[ashen stream]

and its level_0

[fallow finch]

i really don't want to help with this, sorry 🙂

[ashen stream]

no i really tryna to understand it

[fallow finch]

try to learn stuff yourself

[ashen stream]

just i dont want to make multiple levels

[fallow finch]

if you never used python and starting with this tutorial, its bad

[glacial coral]

ya he said hes new to python

[fallow finch]

if you don't get this that means the tutorial is just way too advanced for you

learn the python objects, classes...

don't start with pygame

[glacial coral]

his school project due. It takes few weeks to learn those

It iz what it izz

[ashen stream]

yea its tomorrow...

[fallow finch]

make a simple thing if you can't make an advanced thing

[ashen stream]

i just cant solve the problem

[fallow finch]

don't use just use a tutorial that is 10x too advanced for you

that's all.

[ashen stream]

i learn and make level design etc

[fallow finch]

but learn python before

[ashen stream]

so you cant help right ? 😦

[fallow finch]

no because you don't know what you're doing

[ashen stream]

i want but in my school teachers are crap...

[fallow finch]

make a hangman game in console

[ashen stream]

they dont teach anything and want big things

[glacial coral]

do u have to make a platformer game like mario?

[fallow finch]

make a hangman game in console

[glacial coral]

Or can it be other simple one

[fallow finch]

make a hangman game in console, its a good fun exercise to learn very basics of python

[ashen stream]

but im sure the teacher says its so simple...

[glacial coral]

but its expected not being able to do x 10 harder things when ur new to python

[fallow finch]

about what

[fossil mango]

why my game cant even close

it even has the while thing too

even for ev in pygame.event.get(): if ev=pygame.QUIT: run=False while the while code is while run:

is it maybe because it allow mouse input or something?

[unreal river]

it has to be if ev.type==pygame.QUIT:

[fossil mango]

ahh

okay

thanks

it worked

[unreal river]

the problem was you were referring to the event itself and not its type, and you were using a single = and not == for comparison

[inner shuttle]

Also, type pygame.quit() after run =False as pygame contains a bug which kinda hangs your computer unless you enter that statement

Just a suggestion

[inner flower]

Hey, did someone have a tutorial or a simple method to create a 2d scroll ?

[fallow finch]

2d scroll for what

[inner flower]

a platformer like game

[devout crater]

i usually have an x and y value for a camera which i subtract when blit-ing onto the display

in case you're using pygame, that would be display.blit(myimage, (xposition-xcamera, yposition-ycamera))

i vaguely remember hearing about some built in way to do it though

@inner flower

[fossil mango]

Actually the original code was typed out again so i accidentally made a mistake while typing lol 😂😂

[fossil mango]

Ok, i never experience that before but ill just try

[inner flower]

thx, I will try that for sure

[sterile iris]

how can i run in mac??

i legit just ran it and it doesnt show errors, but it opens then closes

[brisk yew]

code pls

[quiet lake]

what software does everyone use for game dev?

[brisk stone]

i use godot and just plain python for text based games

[quiet lake]

thank you

[robust hearth]

Pygame works for me, even if it isn't that performant.

[brisk yew]

pygame(-ce)

[inner shuttle]

You need to put that statement into a while loop

[inner shuttle]

Mostly pygame and occasionally tkinter

[brisk yew]

bruh, tkinter for game dev, making dinosaur games?

[primal cipher]

How do you convert .xls files to .xlsx? I have 180 of them to convert and I'm not sure how to do it quickly.

[tropic shale]

Godot here, because it uses Python-like syntax (I like Python) and because it's easy to pick up and learn.

[sweet shard]

Panda3D

[brisk stone]

gdscript is almost like python+ imo

[hybrid sage]

use an online website or something I do not think you can do it so fast

[sterile iris]

It worked

[inner shuttle]

If I make a computer game off an existing board game, do I need to mention the copyrights for it? I do not intend to sell it/make it available to the public

[unique plume]

then no

[brisk yew]

you could sell it to them, lol

[buoyant gazelle]

godot is nice

[fossil mango]

people just like being weird sometimes...

[quartz fossil]

You can't copyright game mechanics, so there is no need to. What you may not use is names, artwork, etc.. And there is also the issue of at least one kind-of-mechanic having been patented, at which point my understanding ends.

Practical example: I am not writing a Connect 4 AI right now, that would be an infringement of Hasbro's intellectual property. I am writing a Four in a Row AI.

[fallow finch]

quake doesnt mentions doom copyright

nor candy crush mentions bejeweled copyright

[quartz fossil]

On that note, anybody here who can explain some sensible heuristic for Four in a Row game states to me? Or wanna play against what I have so far?

[fallow finch]

sure

[quartz fossil]

Bad example, they're both by id Software.

[fallow finch]

wait what

[quartz fossil]

Quake and Doom were made by the same company?

[fallow finch]

yea wasnt aware of this

[quartz fossil]

Tell me you at least know who Carmack is. 😛

[fallow finch]

it was the doom/wolfenstein dev right

[quartz fossil]

Is there a channel here for the game? Shall we abuse a help thread? Which side do you want to play? How long are you willing to wait for turns? (Max is about 6-7 minutes at 1M game states.)

[fallow finch]

6-7 minutes to wait for a connect 4 move ?

am i understanding right or what

[quartz fossil]

Yup. Python isn't really the language for number crunching.

Expanding the state tree to one million states, filling 3GB of memory, takes around 360-420 seconds.

[fallow finch]

well just telling its python isnt relevant at this point

waaaaa

i'm pretty sure that's not how to make an ai for connect 4 or every game of this kind

[quartz fossil]

Oh, it very much is. As Python is the language I know best, it's where I can prototype all the nice algorithm to optimize the search. Once I'm done, I can still rewrite it all in e.g. Nim.

[fallow finch]

i'm pretty sure games don't do it like this

one million states in any language would take too much memory

[quartz fossil]

They do. Usually they do it faster because they don't implement graph search in Python.

[fallow finch]

there's probably huge workarounds to not test all the states

so a chess game would be 1000 billion states or what

[quartz fossil]

Yes, there are, e.g. alpha-beta pruning, especially with a good heuristic. But the algorithm is the same from Tic Tac Toe to The Sims: Graph search.

[fallow finch]

well tic tac toe perfect ai can be written in a few lines with prebuilt moves

[quartz fossil]

(The Sims uses bidirectional A* search to create parallelized GOAP plans, but the principle holds.)

Yeah, but I'm not actually writing a Connect 4 AI, that's just my current use case. The game itself is just a handful of functions, only four or so define the game mechanics. The search engine itself I have already applied to, well, Tic Tac Toe, Connect 4, and labyrinth pathfinding, and eventually it'll to GOAP and HTN, too. It works quite well and correctly, thank you very much. 😛 It's not fully-featured yet (alpha-beta pruning is in fact next on my list), but it's getting there.

But if you are worried about the speed and memory issues, the former is very much a Python problem, and the latter can't be helped in any case, in the end filling as much memory with as many states as possible is what search-based AI boils down to.

Also, 7 minutes and 3GB are the maxima. If I shave down the max state tree size by a factor of 10, it runs ten times as fast, and only loses the last two plies of the search tree, which doesn't make it that much dumber. At a tenth of that, okay, it is a bit dumber, but you'd probably only notice it once it's too late already anyway, and now we are talking about 4 seconds.

[fallow finch]

i would like to see how cython can improve here

if you're making a library

[quartz fossil]

I am, and yes. I've taken a quick look at MyPy already, but that makes weird requirements about inheritance.

[leaden jacinth]

when is the next Pyweek?

[quartz fossil]

Looks like it'll be in September. https://pyweek.org/challenges/

[leaden jacinth]

do we have to make it on a certain topic?

[quartz fossil]

There will be a theme, and it not being noticeable in your game may lead to disqualification, IIRC.

Otherwise everyone could just make a game in however long a time, and then submit it to the jam.

[leaden jacinth]

oh k

any practice games?

[quartz fossil]

How do you mean? You can practice as much as you want.

[leaden jacinth]

like what should I practice to stand a chance?

[quartz fossil]

Making games under extreme time pressure. 🙂

You could choose a previous challenge's theme, and try to make a game catering to it in two or three weeks, assuming you have a job that you plan to take a week off of for the jam.

[quartz fossil]

@leaden jacinth Are you familiar with Pygame, Panda3D, and/or other game engines?

[leaden jacinth]

Ursina

[quartz fossil]

Huh... It's impressive how many people flock around that project. Well, then you're all set, I guess.

[leaden jacinth]

But I wanna push with my pygame skills

[quartz fossil]

I'd recommend maximizing your skills in one engine, but you do you. Alternatively you could try tackling with raw Panda3D.

[red elbow]

hello python have a studio for make games? and tools and compiler?

[quartz fossil]

... What?

Do you mean whether there are game studios that use Python, or whether there is an editor workflow for making games in Python?

[fossil mango]

do anybody know how to clone a Surface object without controlling it with variables?

like how scratch uses "when i start as a clone"?

oh i figured it out now

[austere pier]

gr

eat

[fallow glade]

est

[leaden jacinth]

guys

Which week of september will the next pyweek be?

[proper peak]

if you want a full game engine scripted in Python, the closest thing there is to it is Godot, which primarily uses GDScript, which is pretty similar to python. (it also supports actual python via a third-party plugin).

[pine plinth]

GDScript is not similar to python at all

[proper peak]

Why not? It's indentation based, a lot of syntax is the same with some keywords swapped, and it supports gradual typing via typehints.

[pine plinth]

Syntax is similar, language semantics are very different

Docs explicitly says:

GDScript is entirely independent from Python and is not based on it.

[sweet shard]

If someone is looking for recommendations Panda3D while lacking a editor is a pretty feature complete game engine and you can code it in both Python and C++
It is missing Physically Based Rendering (if that's your thing) out of the box so you'll either have to write your own shaders for it or rely on community made ones but overall it's really nice to work in

[dawn quiver]

hi guys

[eternal vessel]

hello

[dawn quiver]

minecraft clone 100% in python going hard

@fallow finch

[fallow finch]

you're trying to make 1:1 port of the features ?

[dawn quiver]

exactly

[dawn quiver]

yes

my computer going wild

[fallow finch]

yea i think it should be a good thing to have one

[dawn quiver]

with all the memory

[dawn quiver]

Lmao, thats what you said 3 weeks ago

[fallow finch]

if the code is good it could be a good thing to check for people interested in making more complex things in python

[dawn quiver]

no one is looking at my github repo

[fallow finch]

how are you managing the threading stuff btw ? with multiprocessing ?

[dawn quiver]

😭😭😭

[fallow finch]

becoming githuber is hard

[dawn quiver]

there is only one guy with a phd

looking at it

[fallow finch]

well you should make videos / reddit post about it

make some when you'll have the player physics

so we can see it's a real port of the game

[dawn quiver]

ture

*true

i will work it on this summer, i have to study with my ap exams though

not much time for me

[fallow finch]

there's a lot of people doing minecraft recreations in all languages

but for some reason they want to do it in 24 hours

and with their own textures

and not porting the real game code in general

[dawn quiver]

the thing is, i want mine to look better than the others

i want it to be modified

no bad looking code

[fallow finch]

you should make it look just like minecraft java

[dawn quiver]

keeping the performance

i am

i never thought i was going to use math for it

rn working on the biomes

i have 500 lines of code

[fallow finch]

you're porting what version of the game

1.0, 1.19 or what

[dawn quiver]

making it simple

alpha versions

its too complicated adding mobs

i bet i will be using tensorflow with mobs just to make it interactive

[fallow finch]

huh

[dawn quiver]

else i have no idea

[dawn quiver]

do you know how mob textures work?

i have these, but i dont know how they function

etc

[fallow finch]

idk if thats the same in alpha

[dawn quiver]

some textures are mixed

i have to fix that

[fallow finch]

in 1.14+ there's model files

they're resourcepack/client

idk how it worked before

[dawn quiver]

wish i could use a time travel machine and ask notch

[dawn quiver]

this is just getting to complicated

[fallow finch]

well of course its complicated

[dawn quiver]

is there a way i can use a gif

[fallow finch]

newest versions have most of the things working with json datapack / resourcepacks, its a way more solid base

[dawn quiver]

as a loading screen?

[fallow finch]

loading screen is a shader

[dawn quiver]

oh nooo

[fallow finch]

ah nvm

you mean loading screen

[dawn quiver]

yeah

[fallow finch]

what about just doing it like in the base game for now

[dawn quiver]

thats what i said

[fallow finch]

this loading screen isnt in the game at all

[dawn quiver]

very true

[fallow finch]

and using large animated gifs in games is a bad thing

animated gifs arent a format for game dev

tbh

[fallow finch]

the main menu is a shader

[dawn quiver]

what if i make pyglet render a html 🤔

[fallow finch]

using 6 textures

[dawn quiver]

could that work

[fallow finch]

wHy would you do this

for what feature

[dawn quiver]

yes i suppose

i have there for a panorama

[fallow finch]

well make it in js

and use electron

if you want to do a web page lmao

[dawn quiver]

i dont wanna switch now

[fallow finch]

its a very simple shader

[dawn quiver]

i messed up

[fallow finch]

using 6 textures

[dawn quiver]

then whats the 6th one

i only have five

[fallow finch]

theres 6

0 to 5

[dawn quiver]

yess

im spared

cause i dont wanna buy mincraft

and get those textures

[fallow finch]

lmao

you don't need to buy the game btw

[dawn quiver]

im already broke

[fallow finch]

the jar file for each version is free

you need to buy an account

[dawn quiver]

thats what i meant

[fallow finch]

assets/minecraft/shaders

you'll find all shaders of the game

[dawn quiver]

seems like i have to buy the account 😭

[fallow finch]

no

you can play demo

its the same game

but you're limited

[dawn quiver]

for real?

do i get the shaders?

[fallow finch]

assets/minecraft/shaders

[dawn quiver]

perfect

this is amazing

i can get all the textures

[fallow finch]

are you recreating minecraft

[dawn quiver]

yes...

[fallow finch]

...without knowing anything in how the game works ??

[dawn quiver]

yes...

thats the challenge

[fallow finch]

[dawn quiver]

wait

does it mean i can beat the ender dragon less than 10 minutes?

[fallow finch]

i don't get it

[dawn quiver]

it was supposed to be a joke

but i forgot adding context to it

[fallow finch]

ye i don't get the joke

[dawn quiver]

soo where is the mincraft game at

in windows?

[fallow finch]

appdata/roaming/.minecraft/versions/1.xx.jar

[dawn quiver]

thanks bud

[dawn quiver]

do you know where i can find the txtures?

or those are encoded too?

[fallow finch]

assets/minecraft/textures

nothing is encoded

the java bytecode files are just obfuscated

[dawn quiver]

C:\Users<USER>\AppData\Roaming.minecraft\assets

[fallow finch]

the names are aaa, aab, aac...

[fallow finch]

C:\Users<USER>\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\versions\1.xx.jar\assets

[dawn quiver]

so its inside the .jar file?

[dawn quiver]

because its a file

[fallow finch]

well each version of the game is one jar file

[dawn quiver]

how can i unpack it?

[fallow finch]

its C:\Users<USER>\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\versions\1.xx\1.xx.jar\assets actually

[fallow finch]

well like any jar file

a jar file is a container

[dawn quiver]

do i have to install java from oracle?

[fallow finch]

...

you just need to open the file to get the things inside it

but java is already installed...

well looks like you really know nothing about java and minecraft

how can you port minecraft's code like this

[dawn quiver]

i just needed winrar

[fallow finch]

7zip >>>

[dawn quiver]

hahaha

[fallow finch]

7zip can open more files as archive

and in more ways

i don't think you can remove certs easily with winrar

[dawn quiver]

interesting

[dawn quiver]

do you know where i can find the icons?

[fallow finch]

icons of what

[dawn quiver]

minecraft launcher, window, etc

[fallow finch]

the jar files are minecraft versions

the minecraft launcher isnt here

it's made in C++, not java btw

[dawn quiver]

bruh

now, its gonna be worse to decompile

[fallow finch]

you want to recreate the minecraft launcher ???

but w h y

just recreate the game

the launcher just launches the jar file with a jvm argument

[dawn quiver]

yeah 😦

[fallow finch]

you don't have to recreate the launcher

and i think mojang would not like this

the jvm argument will not be a thing in minecraft python edition anyway

[dawn quiver]

😭

[fallow finch]

i don't get what's sad

you wanted to recreate the launcher and also the mojang site or what

[dawn quiver]

nahh

[fallow finch]

what about recreating the microsoft accounts too

[dawn quiver]

im just joking

i just wanted the icons

for my pyglet window

[fallow finch]

there's only one icon in the game

its the game window

[dawn quiver]

yeah, where can i find it?

[fallow finch]

assets/minecraft/textures/gui i think

[dawn quiver]

ill get them later on

[dawn quiver]

its not there

[fallow finch]

well maybe it's somewhere else and i forgot

maybe they're even using a crafting table model

but iirc its in resourcepacks

[dawn quiver]

not there either

in resourcepacks

[hollow shuttle]

how can i load svg images in pygame

[fallow finch]

what happens when you load them like other images

[hollow shuttle]

it's not supported

[fallow finch]

it is

[hollow shuttle]

what

one sec

[fallow finch]

maybe try to load a bytes object

but i think you can just use image.load()

on the file

[hollow shuttle]

wait

[hollow shuttle]

they don't show at all

[fallow finch]

so your surface is empty ?

[hollow shuttle]

ah yes print() the #1 debugger

no it's not empty

<Surface(75x75x32 SW)>

[fallow finch]

so what do you have when you blit it

[hollow shuttle]

it doesn't show

[fallow finch]

its probaby an issue with how you blit it

[hollow shuttle]

it's not behind the background

[fallow finch]

be sure to display.flip()

make a new project where you just load a svg file and blit it

[hollow shuttle]

def show(self): self.surface.blit(self.image, self.position)```

with pngs it works

[fallow finch]

so are you sure its the right surface ?

[hollow shuttle]

with png

[fallow finch]

or that its not a previous image that was loaded before

[hollow shuttle]

with svg

[fallow finch]

i don't care

[hollow shuttle]

??

[fallow finch]

thats not how i can help lmao

i need the code

[hollow shuttle]

self.image = pg.transform.scale(pg.image.load(f"{consts.GAME_DIRECTORY}\\assets\\images\\{self.skin}\\{self.type}.svg"), (consts.TILE_FACTOR, consts.TILE_FACTOR))```

[fallow finch]

^^^

what's the 75, 75 too

[hollow shuttle]

the scale

of the image

so it can fit inside the tiles

[hollow shuttle]

it is the right surface

[fallow finch]

import pygame as pg
import sys

window = pg.display.set_mode((640, 480))
cake = pg.image.load('cake.svg').convert_alpha()

while True:

    for event in pg.event.get():
        if event.type == pg.QUIT:
            pg.quit()
            sys.exit()

    window.blit(cake, (20, 20))

    pg.display.flip()

this basic code works for me

[hollow shuttle]

thanks

[fallow finch]

there's also a built-in width and height in the svg file

[hollow shuttle]

what

doesn't work

um

one sec

[fallow finch]

you can use a defined size in the svg file

[hollow shuttle]

yeah but even when not scaling it doesn't blit

import pygame as pg; import consts; import cairo

class Piece:
    def __init__(self, surface:pg.Surface, type:str, position:tuple=(0,0), skin:str="regular") -> None:
        self.surface = surface
        self.type = type
        self.position = position
        self.skin = skin
        self.image = pg.image.load(f"{consts.GAME_DIRECTORY}\\assets\\images\\{self.skin}\\{self.type}.svg").convert_alpha() #pg.transform.scale(, (consts.TILE_FACTOR, consts.TILE_FACTOR))
    
    def show(self):
        self.surface.blit(self.image, self.position)```

[fallow finch]

try with a simple program like me

your problem probably comes from something else

[hollow shuttle]

doesn't work either

can u give me the svg ur using

maybe the image i use are too big

[fallow finch]

ah yea

can you send the svg

svgs not allowed here, bruh

[fallow finch]

my file is 880x880

[hollow shuttle]

@fallow finch uh

[fallow finch]

try to set a specific size

[hollow shuttle]

for 500 files?

[fallow finch]

well you're a python dev

use python

[hollow shuttle]

how do i change the svg content lol

it's not like i can use file.write()

well maybe

i'l ltry one sec

[fallow finch]

why ?

[hollow shuttle]

even when setting a specific size it doesn't work

[fallow finch]

also you're currently using scale

not using scale is better, you should focus on loading times / performances in your app

[hollow shuttle]

does this viewbox have to do with anything?

[fallow finch]

more than on time spent on making the files

[fallow finch]

maybe

i'm not svg expert

[hollow shuttle]

i'm using the simple program u gave me as an example

so not a scaling problem

[fallow finch]

use an other svg

and change things to debug until you get it

[hollow shuttle]

it works with any other image

i guess the one i'm tyring to use is just bad

[marble jewel]

fun watching this game progress

[marble jewel]

Thanks, feel free to make suggestions

[jaunty kindle]

Can anyone recommend any game development internships/companies? I'm an intermediate in python.

And you're in school for game dev? And learning more than python?

Not likely to find "companies" making games with python that also can take on interns (or any staff lol). And very unlikely to get an internship without going for a degree (most internships specify this).

[wintry kettle]

guys, do i need anything other than Pygame to build a simple platformer?

i want to build something to my portfolio

[marble jewel]

platformers are definitely doable in pygame, check out dafluffypotato's videos on youtube he does a lot of platformer stuff in pygame

[wintry kettle]

thanks a lot, will do

[fallow finch]

well dafluffypotato doesnt use just pygame

he also uses pyopengl/moderngl to make shaders

[marble jewel]

thats a lot of his more recent stuff, his videos mostly cover everything besides that

[crisp steppe]

[dawn quiver]

how are you

[wintry kettle]

Does anyone here has any idea of how i can program a bot for a MMO?

[quartz fossil]

Do you want to automate an already existing MMO, or write NPCs for an MMO that you are writing?

For the former you'd need a shim that does extract information from the game client, and through which you can take actions, so you have API access to the client; I have no idea how to do that, and it will depend on the client in question. Once you have done that, the rest is the answer to the second question, because essentially you are trying to write an NPC now. Depending on what exactly you want to do, you could just write a few lines of code for simple behaviors. When things get more complex, you will want to use abstractions like finite state machines, hierarchical finite state machines, behavior trees, search, goal-oriented action planning, hierarchical task networks, or, if you have far too much time and resources on your hands, reinforcement learning.

[fallow finch]

your message is too long

a newbie cheater who joined the server to get a bot for a game will never read this 😂

[quartz fossil]

Well... Good? I'm interested to talk about the sort of person who sees the grab-bag of technical terms and goes "Yes, that is what I want to talk about."

Doubly so to the person who'd go "I have not heard of most of these, but have you ever heard of a Tolman-Eichenbaum machine?" 😄

[brisk yew]

I haven't heard of that machine, what is it?

[quartz fossil]

Good question... From what little I have understood, it creates a learned map of positions on one hand, one of sensory perceptions on the other, then a combined map of latent space, resulting in an actual map for a given context, and then it does prediction by search on it. In the sum, it's apparently a good structure for abstracting correlations into causalities with few examples.

...and that is the kind of machine learning intelligence that I'd like to try out in complex systemic simulations, probably something Sims-like.

[proper peak]

The fact I looked at the implementation and immediately learned fun new words like "Entorhinal" probably means I can't understand it offhand 👀

looks like it's a very neuroscience-inspired model

[glossy prism]

yo does anyone know if unity uses the same coding language as python?

[quasi patrol]

now unity uses c#

I would recommend godot if you want a similar language to python

@glossy prism

it has gdscript or python bindings

[glossy prism]

Alr thanks

[quasi patrol]

also godot is os

[dawn quiver]

Great

Who has 5+ yrs Python experience

[brisk yew]

technically I do

[torn jackal]

hello guys, i am currently making a video game, but i have some trouble with the collisions. actually i d like to check if a line is touches the player. The problem is that this line rotates and so it makes a new rectangle with the rotated line + blanks in the rect. The consequences are that the player is sometimes in the rectangle without touching the line.
How can i do to detect when the player is just touching the line ?

Please mention me if have any ideas 🙏

[eternal vessel]

You can do pixel perfect collisions using masks, there are tutorials on YT about it 👍

assuming you're using Pygame

[wheat gulch]

hey guys so im following a tutorial on how to make a doom like game and i ghave this error

TypeError: __init__() takes from 2 to 4 positional arguments but 6 were given

and this is the code

def __init__(self, game, path='sprites/animated_sprites/catto2/0.png',
                pos=(11.5, 3.5), scale=0.8, shift=0.15, animation_time=120):
        super().__init__(game, path, pos, scale, shift)
        self.animation_time = animation_time
        self.path = path.rsplit('/', 1)
        self.images = self.get_images(self.path)
        self.animation_time_prev = pg.time.get_ticks()
        self.animation_trigger = False

i know its cause but how do i fix it?

[proper peak]

What arguments does the superclass's init accept?

[wheat gulch]

i have to look that up

[proper peak]

well, I'm asking because the error can't refer to the __init__ you posted, as it takes like 7 arguments, it must refer to the super().__init__ you call in this snippet, which you haven't posted the code of.

[wheat gulch]

should i post the whole code?

class AnimatedSprite(SpriteObject):
    def __init__(self, game, path='sprites/animated_sprites/catto2/0.png',
                pos=(11.5, 3.5), scale=0.8, shift=0.15, animation_time=120):
        super().__init__(game, path, pos, scale, shift)
        self.animation_time = animation_time
        self.path = path.rsplit('/', 1)
        self.images = self.get_images(self.path)
        self.animation_time_prev = pg.time.get_ticks()
        self.animation_trigger = False
    
    def update(self):
        super().update()
        self.check_animation_time()
        self.animate(self.images)

    def animate(self, images):
        if self.animation_trigger:
            images.rotate(-1)
            self.image = images[0]

    def check_animation_time(self):
        self.animation_trigger = False
        time_now = pg.time.get_ticks()
        if time_now - self.animation_time_prev > self.animation_time:
            self.animation_time_prev = time_now
            self.animation_trigger = True

    def get_images(self, path):
        images=deque()
        for file_name in os.listdir(path):
            if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(path, file_name)):
                img = pg.image.load(path + '/' + file_name).convert_alpha()
                images.append(img)
        return images

[proper peak]

What does SpriteObject's constructor accept, though? Is SpriteObject another class of yours, or from some library?

[wheat gulch]

its my class

[proper peak]

Post its init, then

[wheat gulch]

def __init__(self, game, path='sprites/static_sprites/catto.png', pos=(10.5, 3.5)):
        self.game = game
        self.player = game.player
        self.x, self.y = pos
        self.image = pg.image.load(path).convert_alpha()
        self.IMAGE_WIDTH=self.image.get_width()
        self.IMAGE_HALF_WIDTH=self.image.get_width() // 2
        self.IMAGE_RATIO = self.IMAGE_WIDTH / self.image.get_height()
        self.sprite_half_width = 0

[proper peak]

It takes game, path, pos, so you can call it from the subclass like super().__init__(game, path, pos). That would leave scale and shift unused, though. Presumably what you want, then, is to add these arguments to SpriteObject's constructor as optional ones (like, with some default values), and use them there to, well, scale and shift the sprite.

[wheat gulch]

wait imma paste the code from github and see if that works

wait that worked

probably a typo from myself

is there an efficient way to implement global hotkeys with python? like if i wanted to do what autohotkey does and trigger actions for games in response to presses globally. i tried using the keyboard library and using a main loop, but that is very cpu intensive. i tried the global-hotkeys library, but that seems to break after a while and is inconsistent

[torn jackal]

did u try pyautogui ?

i'll try that

I’ve tried using JSON and pickle but this more vanilla approach I tried in the past is a lot easier it seems.

[modern barn]

the pickle approach requires a lot of weird dunder overloads, it sucks in terms of UX

[dark sparrow]

Tastes good but feels kinda weird I suppose

[modern barn]

Yeah it's very elegant in some ways but also not in others

I have a lot of mixed feelings about the struct and pickle packages

but they're also at the center of the language, so it makes sense that there would be diverging interests

Hello! I have created Rectangles in pygame and I was wondering how to delete them from the surface. I have the pygame.draw.rect() as variable so itd be helpful if I could somehow delete it from there. Im pretty new to that and not very experienced. I also read the docs and didnt find anything

[brisk yew]

you can't delete what you have drawn, you can only overwrite it, which usually means that you just stop drawing what you don't want to see anymore and that's it

Hello everyone !

I am currently working on a small rocket simulation project in Python and more specifically using the Pymunk module. Thinking to stumble on aspects related to the physics of dynamic objects and the difficulties not always appearing where one expects them, it's ultimately the locking of the view on this rocket that poses a problem for me. I understand that Pygame, a module on which Pymunk relies heavily, does not share the same coordinate system, hence the difficulty.

Here is the simplified source code in 50 lines:
https://pastebin.com/qx8NLvHu

It’s, in this state, a simple rectangular Pymunk dynamic object that a downward force causes to rise indefinitely. This object begins its ascent before escaping from the surface from above, the idea being that the view is always centered on it throughout his ascent.

While there is fairly clear documentation on purely Pygame scenery scrolling and in particular techniques consisting of simulating a climb by only moving the background in retrograde motion, a dynamic Pymunk object subjected to a force moves "for real" and makes this technique ineffective.

I couldn't find any clear documentation on this and this post on Stackoverflow, despite its detailed explanations didn't seem to solve the problem, at least let's say that I have difficulty adapting it to my project:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55235223/side-scrolling-with-pymunk-and-pygame-how-to-move-the-camera-viewport-to-view

Do you have any leads to suggest in order to follow a Pymunk dynamic object in infinite vertical ascent?
Thank you in advance for your help

[sturdy needle]

Mods heard me

Thanks admins and mods

[cinder rover]

You can change the color to match the background if you do not have an image or something special as your background.
It makes them invisible from the player.
You will need to disable the physics on it though

It's a monkey brain method but still a solution

[brisk yew]

if you can disable the physics, you can also just not draw them in the first place

[stone kettle]

Yeah thanks but I got it now

[stone kettle]

But then I could also quit programming it if I never drew it

any ideas on how i can make doors in a raycasting game?

Hello. I've recently started using Pygame and tried to make a little something using Isometric tiles, it was difficult so I decided to move onto hexagonal tiles instead. Still difficult but I feel like it's more manageable. I'm just trying to figure out how to draw the tiles in a hexagonal pattern. My head knows how it works, but I just can't get it onto paper.

I don't know if Pygame can really do it. I did some research and I know matplotlib can render hexagonal tiles. I found an article too where a guy took a map of the United States and overlayed hexagons and displayed data with it. I'm just trying to understand if there's a way to use matplotlib to do the calculations. Or a library like pandas or something else and then have it render in Pygame.

[crisp jungle]

actually, I have an example just for that, lol

(might be in need of a rewrite, but meh)

[crisp jungle]

Thank you!

[lucid zenith]

it's definitely doable using only Pygame, you just need some maths

Ah thank you so much. Maths is really not my strong point. Thank you so much.

In this video the guy explains that there's a unit vector between the normal grid and the isometric grid. He displays it as 1 over 0.5 but there's no division line between the 1 and 0.5. How do I display that in python ?

Ohhh wait I got it. I don't have to overdo it.

I can't explain how incredibly cool it is to me that I'm able to read code and understand it. I am able to translate from another language to Python too. I guess it's just readability and adding quotes and comments help too, but damn It's so fascinating to me.

[snow hill]

Friendly reminder that we’ve got one of the best 3D rendering pipelines of the Python ecosystem 😇

https://github.com/astrofra/NVIDIA-USD-Attic-Sample

[brisk yew]

The Python stuff is, SDL threaded stuff like sounds run on actual threads
So yeah, you ain't gonna make stuff faster by using threading

[devout crater]

what about multiprocessing

i tried using it to draw some stuff but it didn't like that i passed in the pointer to my display

i think that was it, anyway

[brisk yew]

yeah, processes don't share memory, you can't really make the rendering stuff faster this way

faster rendering can be achieved by using pygame._sdl2
or apply other optimization techniques

if your code is slow, first thing you'd want to do is optimize it

[devout crater]

really now? there's an sld2 mode?

[brisk yew]

it's been there for quite a while

it's just "experimental"

[devout crater]

seems odd since pygame is pretty much just sdl2

anyway, i have no code that's too slow for anything right now

[brisk yew]

well, the _sdl2 stuff deals with GPU stuff

[devout crater]

the only thing i could think of is my one code that's rendered at a big resolution then smoothscaled down

[brisk yew]

also pygame-ce if you hadn't heard about it 😉

[devout crater]

but that was just an experiment

what is pygame-ce?

[brisk yew]

#python-community message

basically pygame, but better

like, it still is pygame

a different distribution if you will

[devout crater]

i'm surprised multiline text wasn't implemented already

[brisk yew]

yeah, it hadn't been for over 20 years, lol

well, anyways, it is in pygame-ce now

[brisk yew]

welp, then ig it's all fine, but if you do run into some lag or sth, first step is to profile your code and then go from there
