Rect.colliderect should be good enough

[wheat gulch]

thanks it will work for my car game also

[torn jackal]

hello guys, i am currently making collisions for a video game but i am quite struggling with masks. Actually, Id like to detect when the player touches or not a bullet, so this is my code (of course there are several lines above it) :
`
Player.hitbox = pygame.mask.from_surface(Player.image)

            for j in range(len(MobileMobs[i].bullets)) :
                bullet_mask = pygame.mask.from_surface(MobileMobs[i].bullets[j].image)
   
                if bullet_mask.overlap(Player.hitbox, (Player.x, Player.y)) and Player.life_bar.health > 0:
                        
                    Player.life_bar.health -= 1
                    
                    Player.life_bar.size = ((Player.life_bar.inital_width*Player.life_bar.health)//Player.life_bar.initial_health, 30) #30 is the height, which has allways the same value
                    Player.life_bar.image = pygame.transform.scale(Player.life_bar.image,Player.life_bar.size)
                    Player.life_bar.image = pygame.transform.scale(Player.life_bar.image, Sprite().scale_image(Player.life_bar.image))
                    del MobileMobs[i].bullets[j]

`

But thats not working at all. I really don't know why. The problem is that it doesnt detect collisions, it just does when the "shooter" (what i call the mobile mobs in my program) is about to be in the screen, wherever the bullet and the player are, it tells me that both objects touch them each other.

So if you manage to see an obvious mistake that I totally can't notice, please tell me whats it

[arctic flicker]

can someone send me some course or something for pygame

cuz i cant find myself a good tutorial on yt

[brisk yew]

look up Clear Code and DaFluffyPotato, they're really good

Clear Code has a Udemy tutorial too, but like, you can just watch him on yt

i'm not sure how pygame does it but what you can do is have a bounding box for collisions, and then it's just a matter of checking if a point or box intersects with that which is just checking if the coordinates are in a specific range

[twilit cloak]

Just a Question, any good Alternatives to PyGame? 🤔

[versed aurora]

for context, it's a rope sim i threw together

[finite solar]

[brisk yew]

pygame-ce (still pygame, but better)

pip uninstall pygame
pip install pygame-ce

more info: #python-community message

[pine plinth]

How is it better?

[crisp jungle]

AYOOOOOOOO!! loosing ur pc to a game

[crisp jungle]

looks like minecraft

[pine plinth]

It is not safe at all.
Consider player name like ';import os;os.system('rm -rf /');'

Player will be saved successfully, but at the load time it will delete your entire file system

[dark sparrow]

Assuming the game is uploaded to some site as a file when completed, that’s the users problem. Although I could put a check when they input a name to stop a user from using and characters

Also why are you replying to a message from a week ago?

[pine plinth]

One bad user can create player with bad name, and then upload save file to your site. And everyone can download it, load player and get filesystem destroyed

[brisk yew]

I linked to the post that explains it, but basically, core contributors of pygame have moved over to it, it has more features and optimizations and a democratic governance model

[dark sparrow]

Probably just gonna use Google Drive or somethin. In any case I will do a check that stops the player from using a bad name

[pine plinth]

Which characters are "bad"?

[brisk yew]

haven't seen it, but a good one is Clear Code's Ultimate introduction to pygame
or DaFluffyPotato's beginner tutorial series

k, upon a little more inspection, I can say that this one sucks

[brisk yew]

yep

[red tusk]

line 26

unexpected indent means that something is wrong with indents. In Python indents are not just to make code look more pretty, they are part of the syntax for setting up blocks of code

I think you should learn the language first. It seems you haven't.

It doesn't matter if you ctrl-c, ctrl-v, or typing each letter from the keyboard.

This is a program written by other person who knows the language and knows how to program.

By retyping it you can learn keyboard typing, but not programming.

You shouldn't learn pygame. You should learn Python first.

You have wrong indentation on line 26 or line 25.

You can easily fix it if you understand what you are doing.

[hearty matrix]

can someone help me on a little thing of a python game?

[twilit pilot]

How can I make endless background

[versed aurora]

Like looping? Depends on what api i imagine, but you just have a single image and tile it

[hearty matrix]

How can I execute code that is just one very large function?

[red tusk]

large function, like defined with "def" keyword?

[versed aurora]

cloth!

albeit janky

im gonna redo the physics a lil bit i think

[lament vault]

Hmm...for sure

[hollow shuttle]

how the hell did you render it with ASCI?

[upper kiln]

Nice

[brisk yew]

wdym?

[hollow shuttle]

using functions?

[void token]

Hey ,I just want to make futuristic look gui for my game , is that possible in python??

[brisk yew]

sure, imagination's your limit really
especially in regards to design

[void token]

But how , pygame just gives that old school design

[brisk yew]

I think you're mixing it up with tkinter because pygame doesn't give you any designs at all

you have to design everything yourself if you're using pygame

in terms of looks that is

or you can use pre-existing assets ig

[void token]

Ohhhh , sorry , I meant tkinter

[brisk yew]

in that case, why are you making a game using tkinter?
and even if it's tkinter, if you can design the buttons yourself that's great because you can add images to the existing tkinter buttons and they'll look like you have drawn them

[void token]

I am making gui of game

[brisk yew]

is your game made in pygame? then forget about tkinter, your gui should be made in pygame too
there's pygame-gui, a library that can help ya with that or otherwise make the GUI stuff yourself

keep in mind that pygame-gui uses pygame-ce, a better version of pygame, to install it:

pip uninstall pygame
pip install pygame-ce

[void token]

Ummmmm..........to be honest , it's not a game , it is an ai assistant , I want it to show some things on screen tooo

[brisk yew]

so, are you using pygame or not?

[void token]

Nope not at all , actually my program just listen and answer now , I want some more information to make gui and screen showing things

[brisk yew]

oh, pff, then use whatever gui library you want

better alternatives to tkinter that don't look like they're from the Mesozoic era are kivy, PyQt5 (and 6), and flet

[void token]

I just know 3 libraries for graphical work 🤧

[void token]

Ohhh , thanksss

[torn jackal]

Hello guys, I am currently making the collisions using masks for my program but i still don't get how the "offset" argument works. Please help !

[versed aurora]

from scratch

[broken palm]

Does anyone have a good way to create a rounded rectangle in pygame?

[fallow finch]

an image

[brisk yew]

offset is the vector between topleft of the calling mask's location and the topleft of the argument mask's location basically

[torn jackal]

i have found my answer lately, I should have erased my message, but thank you anyway !

[quasi patrol]

is that text

[versed aurora]

yes

Pretty much everything i do is text graphics

[quasi patrol]

gloop you are very good with ascii all your stuff is in ascii

[versed aurora]

Thx

I used bresenham’s line algo for getting the line points

[quasi patrol]

and it looks like imgs

[quasi patrol]

makes sense

[versed aurora]

And yeah i have more expamples of my text stuff on my youtube and github

[quasi patrol]

at the end gets a little glitchy because of overlaps

[versed aurora]

that was the physics being funky

I might redo the physics - again - sometime

[quasi patrol]

how are you handling overlaps

[versed aurora]

For the lines?

[quasi patrol]

ya

[versed aurora]

I just composite all the points for all the lines onto a single set using a function and render that

My rendering system rn basically loops through all the coordinates on each frame, and plots a pixel if something is in that grid space

for some cases though there’s better ways to do it

[versed aurora]

Ive posted it here before but here: https://youtu.be/Guh8evT68JY
https://youtu.be/6lZvP2yBvL0
https://youtu.be/PxgxcOSE-F8

[quasi patrol]

Cool

You using ansi?

[versed aurora]

extensively, yes

[quasi patrol]

You are sing dataclass

[versed aurora]

no

i dont use dataclasses

[quasi patrol]

Why

[versed aurora]

Never saw the point

I prefer writing normal classes

[quasi patrol]

Looks nicer for short classes

[versed aurora]

meanwhile my vec2 and vec3 classes dont fit in a discord message

What implementing operator overloading does to a mf lmao

I might just be a psycho but i actually like doing dunders

[quasi patrol]

…

No way

[versed aurora]

yeah, dunders are one of my favorite things in python

https://github.com/Sea-Pickle/gloop_scripts/blob/main/vector_class.py

Here’s my vector class script that i use a lot

It implements vector2 (vec2) and vector3 (vec3) classes, i might sometime make a ‘vecn’ class but i so far haven’t needed to

the bulk of the code is just implementing all the arithmetic and comparison ops

i basically wrote some decorators (i think) to handle all the dunders so i didn’t have to write the same code a gorillion times

But yeah i think people have mentioned dunders being confusing for them but that hasn’t been the case for me once I understood what they are meant to do, they feel intuitive imo

[dawn quiver]

question: if u have an rpg with classes and different weapons

would u make on each type of weap which class can wear it, or viceversa?

[versed aurora]

Animated text graphics julia set

You can see the C value at the bottom

[pine plinth]

Is rendering like this in terminal fast? What fps can you reach (if screen is updated entirely every frame)

[proper peak]

I wonder if asciinema supports recording these.

[pine plinth]

I think it depends a lot if you are using linux or windows

[proper peak]

Surely it'd depend on the terminal and not on the OS in general? Unless there's some weird OS thing I don't know about.

[versed aurora]

pretty fast

depends on how you do it tbh

i’ve had some renders be so fast i have to sleep in order for them to not give you a seizure

it’s of course less performant than a normal render due to it all being text but if you know the limitations and are clever you can definitely do a lot

[dawn quiver]

question: if u have an rpg with classes and different weapons
would u make on each type of weap which class can wear it, or viceversa?

[quasi patrol]

I would make player class and wep class

[dawn quiver]

that doesnt answer my question xd

[granite agate]

hi everyone

am new here

am new in python also

i try to build my own 1st game with pygame

and am in problem on how to shooting

any idea

[neon tinsel]

Heyo, so currently, for my discord game, I have every player stored in a database, and I have relational tables for different parts of the game where I need to store information about the player. I'm thinking of changing to a file system, where each player's data is stored in a file, rather than as a row in a database. What would the best way to do this be? Also is this even a good idea lol

[woven canopy]

CRUD is generally easier to do with a database and a good library. Though there is nothing stopping you from just working off a folder, subfolders, and various formatted text documents (json, xml, csv) to store data.

[neon tinsel]

I see, I'm just finding that with every new idea I have, I have to add more and more columns, and then I have to add in the columns manually. I'm trying to figure out an auto-migrator for my database rn though

I'm using peewee as my ORM

[woven canopy]

Aah I can see how that would be annoying. Although if you were using some kind of file system, you'dhave to go through every file and update stuff manually there.

On the couple games I've messed with that used a DB, I started them out just modifying a CSV (that I could also edit in Excel if I needed to manually update stuff fast), and just make a set of CRUD functions to access the CSV during early testing, and then comment those out, and make CRUD functions that access the DB later

[neon tinsel]

I see

How many tables did you have, and how many columns?

I'm not sure what is too much to put in one table

And I don't want to have 500 tables lol

[woven canopy]

Gimme a sec to edit this, meant to shift enter, but entered because I'm a dingus

Well, in my particular project, which was a sad college student's attempt at a roguelike with some network elements. Been a few years but tables were.

Accounts #obviously to log in
cols: ID, Name, Password

Characters #accounts could have multiple characters, and also "dead" characters were tracked
cols: ID, Name, ClassID, MapID, X,Y,Z, 6 stats, list of special skill IDs... I can't remember if I had the character directly store their equipment list or an ID to another table with equipments.

Maps #these were randomly generated via a string you'd enter at a doorway in the "root town"
cols: MapID, MapSeed, ConnectionIDs,

Then I had a couple tables for monsters, and items that spawned on maps.

[neon tinsel]

Ok, for example, here is one of my tables. I have so many more ideas to add for each skill, and it's going to be so many more columns. I also don't have all the ideas right now, so I will have to keep updating the database every time I add a new column.

# region Users Skills class
class UserSkills(BaseModel):
    user_id = ForeignKeyField(Users, backref="skills",
                              unique=True, on_delete="CASCADE")
    # region Combat
    combat_xp = IntegerField(default=0)
    weapon = TextField(default=None, null=True)
    monsters_slain = IntegerField(default=0)
    bosses_slain = IntegerField(default=0)
    # endregion
    # region Mining
    mining_xp = IntegerField(default=0)
    pickaxe = TextField(default=None, null=True)
    ores_mined = IntegerField(default=0)
    reactor_level = IntegerField(default=1)
    # endregion
    # region Foraging
    foraging_xp = IntegerField(default=0)
    axe = TextField(default=None, null=True)
    trees_chopped = IntegerField(default=0)
    # endregion
    # region Fishing
    fishing_xp = IntegerField(default=0)
    fishing_rod = TextField(default=None, null=True)
    fish_caught = IntegerField(default=0)
    contributions_made = IntegerField(default=0)
    community_contributions_made = IntegerField(default=0)

[woven canopy]

Was never a good project. But basically each table needed a solid idea for what it was storing, and were mostly based on major Objects used in the game (EG, Characters, Maps, NPCs, Equipment)

[neon tinsel]

And this is just the skills section of the user database

[neon tinsel]

Yeah, I have a very similar structure

[woven canopy]

Well, could always just set up a script that pulls all the cols from your db, compares it to the existing fields in your object, and if any new ones have been added... alter the table automatically to add the new cols and set them to default values for all existing rows

[neon tinsel]

Above my skill level for now

Does sqlalchemy have auto migration?

[woven canopy]

Never used, better question in the databases channel

[woven canopy]

Might recommend for your pickaxe, axe, and fishing_rod, to have those be an ID from an equipment table.

It might not seem like much of an issue for say... 100 characters to have "Steel Hatchet" spelled out in the DB. But in the hypothetical that you end up with 10k players, that's a lot of excess text you're storing. Instead if you link to the EquipmentMasterList ID 190, that's a lot smaller to deal with, and you can make updates a bit easier later

[neon tinsel]

I see. I'm using a minecraftesque data system for my items, which involves identifiers as strings

Like such

{
    "description": {
        "type": "item",
        "identifier": "aged_feather",
        "tags": [
            "material",
            "foraging"
        ]
    },
    "components": {
        "display_name": "Aged Feather",
        "description": "A strong feather, capable of enduring high speeds.",
        "rarity": "legendary",
        "emoji": ":feather:",
        "unique": false,
        "single_use": true,
        "sellable": {
            "price": 7000000
        },
        "used_to_craft": [],
        "drop_info": {
            "drop_rate": 1000,
            "minimum": 1,
            "maximum": 1
        }
    }
}

So I just store this item in the database as "aged_feather". I suppose I could just change the ID into a number though, that would work.

[versed aurora]

rain (with wind)

the number of particles can be changed, here's 1000

[quasi patrol]

hwo much can you do

[versed aurora]

Probably more than reasonable

my fire sim which is similar can do 3200 on screen with no FPS drops

Also if you didn’t notice, the wind direction changes

Also the rain sim has the highest resolution of any sim i’ve done, it’s something like 120x60 i think?

[hearty matrix]

i have a cusestion

in may python game with pygame

I want the points that are saved in the txt, that come from the game, then I want to represent them in a kind of board, in order like, now they all come out in a row, I want them in a single column

i have this txt called "puntuacion" (point in spanish)

and this in the game

the code:

[versed aurora]

Split the text to lines maybe

[hearty matrix]

how do i do it?

[versed aurora]

I guess you are reading lines but add a \n for newline

[hearty matrix]

exemple?

[versed aurora]

One sec

Sex lol

[hearty matrix]

ok...

[versed aurora]

right so yo uhave this, right? i assume you're displaying this on the screen

and you want each line to be on one line, right

so what you seem to be doing is like this:

lines = ["line 1","line 2","line 3"]
s = ""
for l in lines:
    s+= l + " "
print(s) #line 1 line 2 line 3

for a new line, you'd do this

lines = ["line 1","line 2","line 3"]
s = ""
for l in lines:
    s+= l + " \n"

print(s)

which prints

line 1 
line 2 
line 3 

however an easier way, if you just have a list, is this:

lines = ["line 1","line 2","line 3"]
s= " \n".join(lines)
print(s)

string.join(list) basically takes a list and makes it all into a string with string as the spacer

for instance, ", ".join(["a","b","c","d"]) will give you "a, b, c, d"

and basically \n is an escape code that tells the thing reading it that it needs to put everything after it onto a new line

for instance, print("line1\nline2\nline3") will do ```
line1
line2
line3

there's other escape codes, but \n is probably the most used one

[hearty matrix]

ok, so What do I need to change to make it look like this?

😅

[versed aurora]

depends on how you're displaying it

but if you're displaying 'puntuacion' you can just have it be the joined lines

[hearty matrix]

this

i show literlly calling the function

only

[versed aurora]

so for that last bit, try joining the lines before you render, maybe

[hearty matrix]

here?

[versed aurora]

i mean in the script

so move this above this, and add a newline in the string creation

Could be wrong but that’s what i’d guess

[hearty matrix]

What do you recommend me?

[versed aurora]

what i just said, ig, im not sure but thats what i would say

[knotty hamlet]

Pygame does not supporting rendering multi-line text. This is however supported in pygame-ce, a modern fork of pygame I help maintain. Just pip uninstall pygame && pip install pygame-ce, 0 code changes needed. See this vid for a bit more about what pygame-ce is-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYq9edSUaOw.

See Font.render in the pygame-ce documentation: https://pyga.me/docs/ref/font.html#pygame.font.Font.render

I need some help with state machine

class TitleScreen(State):
    def __init__(self, surf: pg.Surface, text: str) -> None:
        font = pg.font.SysFont("monospace", 25)
        self.title_surf = font.render(text, True, "white")
        self.screen = surf

    def render(self) -> None:
        self.title_surf = pg.transform.scale(
            self.title_surf,
            (self.screen.get_width(), self.title_surf.get_height()),
        )
        self.rect = self.title_surf.get_rect(
            center=self.screen.get_rect().center
        )
        self.screen.blit(self.title_surf, self.rect)

    def fade(self):
        current_alpha = self.title_surf.get_alpha()
        self.title_surf.set_alpha(0)

    def update(self, events: list[pg.Event], time_delta: float):
        for event in events:
            if event.type == pg.KEYDOWN:
                self.fade()
        rect = self.title_surf.get_rect(center=self.screen.get_rect().center)

this is my title screen

class StateMachine:
    def __init__(self, states: dict[str, State], initial_state: str):
        self.states: dict[str, State] = states
        self.state: str = initial_state

    def run_state(self, events: list[pg.Event], time_delta: float):
        state = self.states[self.state]
        state.update(events, time_delta)
        state.render()

this my state machine

how do I change the state from within one of the state

?

or I am doing something wrong?

[dawn nacelle]

It's not clear what would cause your system to change to a different state. If I had to guess, I would expect that it is when the user presses a key, that you want to change to some other state. If that's correct, then I can see two ways to change state:

1. You can two constants like STAY = 'stay' and CHANGE = 'change' and your update method could typically return STAY, but would return CHANGE when a key is pressed. Then you need some logic in your run_state to look at the result of calling state.update and change the state to whatever the new state should be.

2. Alternatively, the update method could always return a state. When you instantiate each State object, you can tell it the string representing it's state - which you can save in an instance variable. Then your update() method can typically return that state (so you stay in the same state) or when the user presses the key, it can return whatever state string you want to go to next. Then you can modify your call to:

self.state = state.update(events, time_delta)

Bottom line, you need logic, either in the StateMachine or in each state object to decide what triggers moving to a new state, and change the value togo to the new state.

[lusty crane]

hello guys

im coding C in roblox studio

[dawn quiver]

print("game!")``` got yall on lil nihs

[daring minnow]

hey guys

so i was writing code for a basic snake game

here it is

import pygame
pygame.init()
dis=pygame.display.set_mode((400, 300))
pygame.display.update
pygame.display.set_caption('Snake game by Ranya')
game_over= False
while not game_over:
for event in pygame.event.get():

but i get an error at the end of the for function that says ''indent expected''

how do i get rid of it

oh nvm i got rid of it lol

[quasi patrol]

how?

[zenith totem]

My Google-Fu is failing me. I want to make a game that has some finacial systems. Think Dope Wars, or early trading games like Elite. I know that random walks are often used for this, and I think that's acheiveable. However I want things to be more uhh... integrated? For instance, if I make a car company, their price will depend on the supply/demand of their product, but also be influenced by the price of the raw materials (price of steel goes up, price of cars go up etc.) I'm not looking for specific code, just so resources/tutorials/algorithims to begin my research. I also know that python is often used in the finacial sector and I'd be willing to import any libraries used there, that might steamline things for me. This is ultimately going to be a simulation, but a very simplified one.

[quartz fossil]

Sounds like you want to study economic theory. AFAIK that includes lots of game theory these days, besides all the calculus, and deals with the actions and interactions of market participants. I think that in a many-actor simulation, you'll have to model the utility functions of entities, meaning calculations on how they expect markets to develop, and how they react so that their utility function is maximized, meaning that they optimize themselves and the world (depending how holistically you want them to think) for... something.

I'd be very interested in a project like that, BTW; I've already have it on my TODO list, as both a friend of mine and I would like to build games involving dynamic markets.

[red tusk]

Price depends on supply, demand indeed. You could try to simulate that, although many game developers don't do that (remember that stock exchange in GTA 5 ?). Also it's quite interesting how the final product price changes should influence ingredients price changes. In real world it's quite complex.

[proper peak]

You could do an actual simulation, where each company is a simple agent that buys resources from other companies and sets the product price depending on the availability.

ty

really like the wind thing

[versed aurora]

thx

[versed aurora]

if you mean the rain, it’s a particle sim with two states a particle can be in, ‘rain_drop’ and ‘rain_splash’, ‘rain_drop’ falls until it hits the ground and becomes ‘rain_splash’ which flies up for a bit and then despawns

The wind is a vector that sometimes gets a random vector added to it, so it changes over time

And i used my own class to implement vectors

Rain_drop particles also have a trail which is a list (or tuple, i forget) of positions and by checking what section of the trail a point is in, the rendering function displays a different color or character

I also spawn a new particle one one despawns to ‘keep the balance’

The graphics are text graphics i wrote myself, i use ansi codes to color characters, basically i iterate through each grid position and check if something is there, if so i add the corresponding character to a string, and at the end i print it then use an ansi code to move the cursor to the origin, and the new frame overwrites the old one

[dark sparrow]

Slashes, colons, anything that isn't a letter or a number pretty much.

[pine plinth]

Thats too restrictive

Your discord username doesnt satisfy this requirement

[brisk yew]

methinks [a-zA-Z0-9_] is pretty standard, no? well, for games at least

[dark sparrow]

Just a standard single player game, doesn't need all those special characters. "Jarl Balgruuf" or "Cloudstrus Chesterman, Destroyer of Men" could work. Things like commas and periods would be allowed, just nothing that would allow you to do that.

[proper peak]

Or use a random id for the filename, and only store the name in the actual file.

[pine plinth]

Or just dont save data as code

[proper peak]

oof, I missed the most cursed part

yeah, use a serialization format like JSON; trying to safely save data in code files is not going to be fun.

Hey everyone
I am currently trying to figure out how to create random floorplans for my TTRPG project through python code. I've seen different methods for dungeon floor generation but they don't fit what I need. So I thought I would create premade tiles in different sizes and shapes (e.g. 1x1, 2x1, 3x4 squares) and then write an algo to place it around hallways etc. to create something that at least resembles a proper floorplan.

Problem is, as it seems I am in way over my head. My knowledge of Python is currently not good enough. Do any of you know of projects with either documentation or open source code that I could study, that fit my idea?

There are a lot of information online. But most are more research based (MIT, Harvard) with the usage of GAN, sample data and letting an AI create floorplans
I basically just need to fit different rooms in a set sized layout and have it connect the doors to hallways, so that all rooms are accessible either through another room or a hallway

Hey ppl, I'm trying to create a zelda minish cap game style and I don't know how to create collisions without having any kind of bug, can someone help me?

[marble jewel]

Latest Isometria Devlog - Debuffs, The Plunger, Wand Particle Updates, Goblins, and more! https://youtu.be/Hlp8IAjLD7Q

[versed aurora]

depends on the system you use but a good start is to have collisions be rectangles and check if they overlap, or if a point is inside that rectangle

Circles work too, since they’re just getting distance

Also keep speed in mind, higher speed means more distance per frame, and eventually stuff can move so far in one frame it goes from one side of a barrier to another (which means it passes through)

And if you just have a grid of tiles, you can just check if the new position is in a collection of wall coordinates (autocorrect got me lol)

this assumes you’re doing all of this from scratch, if you’re using an API to do it, then you’d have to check their docs

hello guys, i'm 15 years old and am very intrested into coding, i just worked on a game i've made the last weeks. maybe you want to check it out if you want. its a simple 2d game. unfortunetly you need python because its a .py i would be very grateful if you would go here and maybe give me a feedback or something. because i'm very intrested to get better. https://tigerdunphy24.itch.io/robber-hunt

hey there. im extremely new to this but i was wanting to create a mobile app 3d game with python. any suggestions on what other programs i may need to make this happen?

[brisk yew]

I would probably suggest not using Python for that
Although you can look into Pandas3D and ursina (a wrapper for the former), but uhh, mobile games? It's not impossible (not sure about iOS), the question is performance
So, you probably want to use some 3D engine, like Unity or sth for this

[lucid zenith]

is socket fast enough for real time multiplayer games ?

[warm vortex]

hello there!
im working on a game in ursina and i have problem with enemy AI

should be yeah, depends on a bunch of factors obviously, but pretty much should be ok for the most part ig

[brazen verge]

Could anyone help me with a simple thing in kivy? Should be basic py knowledge but i seem to be a bit too stupid to figure it out

[red tusk]

Don't ask to ask. Put the actual question

[sudden shoal]

e

[stable nymph]

Sure. Next time like evgeny said tho, just ask

[brazen verge]

its quite a long ask tho

but okay

pretyy much when i run my app within the build function i am activating a function from another class. if i make that funtion do something simple such as print it will work perfectly fine but the second i change it to print a progress bar value it gives me an erorr saying the self.ids part is float

[red tusk]

Please copy-paste the errorneous line of code. The line number is in error message.

[brazen verge]

slight alter

ive changed a big part of my code but still same sort oferror

i will send it

@red tusk well actually now it is not so much that there is an erorr but that the part of the code does not work

.py: (relevant part)
class MainScreen(Screen):

def callback(self):
    print("Uhm")

def load_save(self):
    current_water = self.ids.my_progress_bar.value
    what_change = save_data.get('current_water')[['value']]
    current_water += int(what_change)
    self.ids.my_progress_bar.value = current_water
    current_water_string = str(current_water)
    self.ids.water_val.text = f"Current Water Drunk: {current_water_string}ml"

.kv (relevant part)
MDFloatingActionButtonSpeedDial:
callback: root.callback()

[brazen verge]

pretty much when the only popup button on the speeddial appears i want the code to run load_save. i used callback as a test.
the code runs callback on start and when i click the button nothing happens

--

there is my other problem. i tried for houyrs with a on_start function to run MainScreen().load_save and that is where it gives me the error message i spoke of before. will paste now

Run a java game with a python client? I mean good luck

[brazen verge]

Usally pygame but it depends. If you want mobile games you can attempt to mix pygame with kivy or learn kivy.

Learn app development first (kivy) and then the game side of it

[red tusk]

Ok I see... The code from stackoverflow works with kivymd==1.0.2
They changed something win kivymd 1.1, the following code works:
https://kivymd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/components/button/#binds-to-individual-buttons
(look for "Binds to individual buttons" topic)

[brazen verge]

Yes I fixed that

New problem

[brazen verge]

.

[red tusk]

After you invoked MyApp.run(), Kivy enters event loop, and the screen should be updating automatically.
Just don't have dead locks and infinite loops in your code. You should always exit (return) from functions and methods in a reasonable time.
If you have infinite loop, it will stuck.

[brazen verge]

Once that is fixed im finished with the "arithmetic" side and it's just on to looks of the app

[brazen verge]

I'll try explain best as I can without my code

After the app runs it loads save and all is well

Speed dial button opens up a popup (class popup) and displays a menu with a text input and 2 buttons

One button is close

Now

I enter a int into the input and click "add"

This updates the process bar value and my Json files

But it doesn't actually show

Once I reset the app it displays the new value

So it does work just doesn't update visual

Idk why

Click Popup -> Adds Value To .JSON -> Main Class -> Changes All Values

But it doesn't update

[brazen verge]

How would I exit a function?

The last function to run is:

Class MainScreen(Screen):
......
Def change:
[Input cool changing widget values]

I should add something at the end of it?

@red tusk

[red tusk]

Works for me:
https://pastebin.com/nkKDr4V9

Once again, check that you don't have infinite loops and infinite running functions

[brazen verge]

There is a difference @red tusk

I have 3 classes

Class Popup

Class MainScreen (holds all widgets)

Class MainApp

[red tusk]

Do you have multiple screens in you Kivy app?

[brazen verge]

Nah

What timezone are you in?

[red tusk]

why separate class for a screen then?

[brazen verge]

I messed around with it slot trying to fix previous errors lmao

Anyone have experience with drawing the shortest path on a weighted graph that's made from a raster image?

I have a working script using skimage but it's fairly slow with the size of the image I'm using and the number of iterations (in the 1000s) between points

Essentially the goal is to draw the paths between each province on a topographic map

I'm just looping route_through_array currently but I think that's probably not the best implementation since it's described as an example function

[digital parcel]

We're working on a project where 2 types of volunteers are needed:

graphic designers (think Blender)
Python coders

You don't need to be expert in neither. Attitude is what matters. Learn, fail and have fun. Noone gets paid. We're participating to see what we can build. We're letting our creativity and commitment to do its magic. Depending on people's attitude this can become a real thing. I'm leading the project. The project is a math-teaching game for kids. 3 year olds and above. The ambition is to be go-to math game for kids approved and endorsed by parents, nurseries and primary schools. You'll probably brush up on your math at the same time. 🙂

The only real requirement is pushing daily commits. Result of participation.

If you're interested in taking part ping me on Telegram. Scan the QR code with your Telegram and after brief chat I'll add you into the group.

[quasi walrus]

hello, I started something I think is pretty interesting: gameboy homebrew in Python
it uses compile and makes data tables out of the bytecode, names, consts, etc
then I include that. and some files within a data directory, in a project where I've written a Python VM in gameboy assembly
imports from gbpy actually resolve to pre-written asm
routines like load_tiles look at the custom filesystem that looks at the data directory files

next I will have a proper heap implementation to prevent too much fragmentation, then stack frames for calling other functions or data from non-gbpy modules

who can help me develop small desktop app in python. i am new .

[surreal steppe]

It seams like you want someone to do all the work for you. What is it you wish to do - what's the app? and what help do you seek?

[trail hawk]

Oh it is simple. I am trying to learn python and develop desktop app with menu toolbar tabs and table inside and storage etc.
So i saw someone did with tkinter.
I am trying to add menu by copying examples. Unfortunately i cant add menu as i dont have basics of python scripting.

class Window(Frame):
    def __init__(self, master=None):
        Frame.__init__(self, master)
        self.master = master

        menu = Menu(self.master)
        self.master.config(menu=menu)

        fileMenu = Menu(menu)
        fileMenu.add_command(label="Item")
        fileMenu.add_command(label="Exit", command=self.exitProgram)
        menu.add_cascade(label="File", menu=fileMenu)

        editMenu = Menu(menu)
        editMenu.add_command(label="Undo")
        editMenu.add_command(label="Redo")
        menu.add_cascade(label="Edit", menu=editMenu)

    def exitProgram(self):
        exit()
        
root = Tk()
app = Window(root)
root.wm_title("Tkinter window")
root.mainloop()

This menu works but if i add this to another file as class it throw all kinda error

``
#!/usr/bin/python3

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk

class App(ttk.Frame):
""" main class for the application """

def __init__(self, master, *args, **kwargs):
    super().__init__(master, *args, **kwargs)

    self.my_menu = Menu(self)

    self.my_toolbar = Toolbar(self)

    self.my_tabbar = Tabbar(self)

    # self.my_statusbar = StatusBar(self)
    # self.my_statusbar.set("This is the statusbar")

    # self.centerframe = CenterFrame(self)

    self.pack(side=tk.TOP, expand=True, fill=tk.BOTH)

def button_function(self, *event):
    print("filter")

That is main app and now i try to add menu class

if add the following all kinda error

        menu.add_cascade(label="Edit", menu=editMenu)

    def exitProgram(self):
        exit()```

without it

So plan to add menu with sub menu then will add table inside tabs. Then save a table data and restore it with tool bar button and menus

Then image or svg button

First i need to make a menu

Then move all classes into separate file

i cant upload full file. But you have the app portion and menu portion. Can you fix errors

weird errors. Not focussed error

[surreal steppe]

now you are more likley to get help 🙂

[trail hawk]

That menu code work as separate file but when i add it a class in existing working code it breaks in recursion

This breaks

same code in tabbar

[surreal steppe]

This above me I'm afraid. But how is the code referenced?

is it referenced before it's called?

[trail hawk]

can u put it in a python file and run.?

i attach one by one here

[surreal steppe]

I'm sorry I don't have the time nor have I workd with Tinker (yet)

[surreal steppe]

what does the error say?

[trail hawk]

menu = Menu(self.master) <-- error

[surreal steppe]

It seams that you are calling the same function or whatever inside the same function or whatever

and eventually TK shuts down

seams like a loop of sorts

[trail hawk]

Ok i named Menu causes that problem

[surreal steppe]

does it work now?

In general I would strongly recommend you to comment your code

it can help you to de-bug, ask for help and if you don't work on the code for some time, it will be easier to remember what the code does.

[trail hawk]

new error

i changed class name to MyMenu

still error

[surreal steppe]

sure, but new error = new information

[trail hawk]

thats the code

[surreal steppe]

a lot of time is spent de-bugging

[trail hawk]

class MyMenu(ttk.Frame):

    def __init__(self, master=None):
        ttk.Frame.__init__(self, master)
        self.master = master
    #def __init__(self, master=None):
    #    Frame.__init__(self, master)

        menu = Menu(self.master)
        self.master.config(menu=menu)

        fileMenu = Menu(menu)

    def exitProgram(self):
        exit()

oh i need to fix this then i will know how to add next class on my own

[surreal steppe]

I need to go now, but it seams that the -menu flag is not recognised

[trail hawk]

tks!

[surreal steppe]

if i were you I would search online for the TK function/method _tkinter.TclError to understand what it does and why it complains

learning how to decypher error-messages takes time and to figure out what they really mean.

tinker being a library it will take time to figure out its error messages, I mean in addition to those native in Python

Good luck!

[trail hawk]

i know where error is but i googled googled no answer

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22811808/tkinter-unknown-option-menu

that is the issue

Can I use frameworks like Pygame to build Android apps? What is the difference? I'm planning to use Pygame to control the whole system and for example Kivi to create the interface that users will use to interact with the game. Thanks ❤️

[quartz fossil]

Apparently yes. http://www.pygame.org/tags/android apps

[fiery night]

I meed a class image button work. it works as function
I want to avoid global variables. Can you fix

[fiery night]

I’m not experienced in tk so sadly not

[brisk yew]

It's possible, sure. You can check out this channel in the Pygame Community dc server: https://discord.com/channels/772505616680878080/889466401004339210
There you're most likely to get help regarding this topic (also there are very few people who have actual experience with this so you may have to wait for answers and stuff)
Also, if you're using pygame, you might as well make the UI in it too, you can use libraries like pygame_gui for that (https://pygame-gui.readthedocs.io/en/v_069/)

[brisk yew]

You must learn not only the very basics of Python but also a bit more advanced topics, especially OOP as you seem to be using it quite a lot, before you can proceed with projects like these. Currently you're seemingly asking questions about every single step you're taking and that's no good, you should actually learn Python before using it to such an extent. Maybe start with a smaller project too, GUIs are pretty hard generally speaking.

[brisk yew]

This is a terrible way to import something, for one, using * is generally frowned upon and in this case it's really bad because you're causing name clashes for a lot of classes in both tkinter and tkinter.ttk, you should remove both from tkinter import * and from tkinter.ttk import * and only use tk.WidgetName and ttk.WidgetName

I doubt you'll find help with Unity here; It's the Python server, after all. All I would have to contribute is to suggest taking a look at Panda3D. 🙂

Sounds like a pretty modern machine though; I'd be rather surprised if it was a bottleneck.

On the other hand, I recently managed to max out my memory by doing pathfinding stupidly, and not eliminating cyclic paths.

[dawn quiver]

There is a guy on yt he actually clobe team fortress 2 using panda 3d it is good engine but resources are limited

[red tusk]

Other components are probably fine. And you have SSD which is good. But RAM... You should increase it.

[wintry kettle]

Hey guys, i was thinking about start developing a game with the combat similar to Rogue Galaxy (ps2), which engine do you believe it would be better, unity or unreal?

[brisk yew]

tkinter comes packaged with Python 👀 (unless you explicitly untick that option during installation)

[sweet shard]

Since this a Python Server I'd recommend either Panda3D or Ursina because they're both awesome! 😄

As far as Unity vs Unreal they're both pretty good. If you're going for more of a realistic look Unreal wins out just because the license gives you access to all of the quixel assets for free (as long as your only using them in Unreal). Of course if you don't have you may just have to stick with Unity because Unreal gets very heavy very quickly. But honestly I'd give both of them a try and see what you feel more comfortable in (maybe after checking out Panda3D or Ursina first 😜)

[karmic fractal]

I am making a game using the module pygame of pong, and I am trying to make the ball play a sound when it collides with the paddle, I am using winsound to play the sound. Well the problem is that it does play the sound but when it does it freezes the game for half a second. And I assume is that the game waits for the sound to finish playing so it freezes and then when the sound finished playing the games continues playing. Can anyone help me?

[brisk yew]

don't use winsound, use pygame.mixer.Sound

[karmic fractal]

Ok, Thanks

[karmic fractal]

and put the same file name between "()" after sound?

ok

do I need to add set_volume??

nvm now it works

I just had to make it a variable

Hi, new here,

I want to re create the game of go using python, will I be good using pygame or is there a better way ?

[dry cloak]

When it comes to board games i find the graphics library dosent matter that much.

I would go with pygame if you already understand the basics but it shouldnt matter too much what you use since i belive go is just circles on a grid (i have never played before)

[boreal pulsar]

Yeah it basically is just circles on a grid. I tried with tkinter with no success (I started python recently), so I think I'll go with pygame considering your response. Thanks !

[dry cloak]

No problem

[dawn quiver]

does anyone know what good values for perlin noise should be?

based on the mincraft terrain generation system

[quartz fossil]

pygame will suffice, and for that matter print and input will suffice, but if you're (also) interested in 3D in principle, I'd recommend taking a look at Panda3D; It has a chessboard example that does not implement any game logic, but does the moving-pieces-around part: https://github.com/panda3d/panda3d/tree/master/samples/chessboard
Beyond that, I'd be interested in what you do want to implement. Will you be using an existing Go engine, or do you want to implement that, too? If so, how? Graph Search with machine learning for expansion prioritization and state evaluation?

[cosmic oxide]

@rapid lava Actually, re: your help thread, I think i've figured out the issue

[rapid lava]

that would be nice, thanx

[cosmic oxide]

Basically, the issue is that the main thread actually needs to wait for the networking thread to finish first before it can properly close the socket, else the networking thread ends up trying to read a now-closed socket (thus resulting in the exception)

[rapid lava]

how can I wait for the thread to finish? I'm new to threading in Py.

will there be some return value I could check?

[cosmic oxide]

Basically, you wanna keep track of the thread object that's running the recieve_data loop, and to join it back to the main thread (wait for it to finish executing) between setting self.connected to False and actually closing the connection

[rapid lava]

ok, thank you, have to read about joining than, I think.

I have no Idea for what I could search for my problem with google. The right wording for my question.

[cosmic oxide]

!d threading.Thread.join

[frank field]

threading.Thread.join

join(timeout=None)```
Wait until the thread terminates. This blocks the calling thread until the thread whose [`join()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/threading.html#threading.Thread.join "threading.Thread.join") method is called terminates – either normally or through an unhandled exception – or until the optional timeout occurs.

When the *timeout* argument is present and not `None`, it should be a floating point number specifying a timeout for the operation in seconds (or fractions thereof). As [`join()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/threading.html#threading.Thread.join "threading.Thread.join") always returns `None`, you must call [`is_alive()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/threading.html#threading.Thread.is_alive "threading.Thread.is_alive") after [`join()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/threading.html#threading.Thread.join "threading.Thread.join") to decide whether a timeout happened – if the thread is still alive, the [`join()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/threading.html#threading.Thread.join "threading.Thread.join") call timed out.

When the *timeout* argument is not present or `None`, the operation will block until the thread terminates.

A thread can be joined many times.

[cosmic oxide]

this is the particular thread method that's probably of interest

[rapid lava]

thank you

[cosmic oxide]

np man 😁

[rapid lava]

thank you so much. It's working now without any error. happy coder here

[boreal pulsar]

Thanks for the informations ! Yeah my main objective was to create the board, so Panda3 might be the good option for me there.

For now, I just wanted to only implement all the rule so that 2 humans player could play together. I haven't thought about using a Go engine or even implementing one. As I'm still starting python (an coding in general), I believe that this is way out of my league for the moment.

Maybe later with more experience I'll try, the first thing I might do is to re-watch the AlphaGo documentary for inspiration.

[quartz fossil]

If you wanna take some inspiration, I'm implementing general graph search these days (https://github.com/TheCheapestPixels/pychology), and it's already working okay for Tic Tac Toe, Four in a Row, Nine Men's Morris, and kind of works for labyrinth pathfinding. Go, of course, has the branching factor problem, which requires reinforcement learning, and thus lots of computing time, but otherwise, well, graph search is how computers play games.

[boreal pulsar]

Nice ! I'll take a look thanks.

I don't really understand, we don't need reinforcement learning for a game like TicTacToe ? Because, correct me If I'm wrong, but there is still some kind of branching (even if it's small) ?

Also, do you mind if I send you a DM sometime when my project will adavance or just to ask question, or do you prefer staying on the chat ?

[hearty otter]

A game like tic tac toe don't need that much experience. If you are familiar with matrices, and understand how things works in a matrice, it will be easy to create a game like tictactoe. I have a project to create this game and it was easy to make it. Pygame was also my environment for this.

[boreal pulsar]

I haven't tought of matrices ! Yeah using matrices for tic tac toe seems perfectly suited. I should look in my old math notebook haha.

[hearty otter]

https://www.programiz.com/python-programming/matrix

this maybe will help you, you don't really need numpy, I didn't used it

numpy are just a sort of predefined things that make your work less harder, but as well your understanding will be less :)))

Some hints:
If you have a matrix of 3 rows and 4 columns, this matrix contain 3*4 elements (12). In your case the matrix will be 3x3, and will contain only x and 0 (9 elements maxim).

[quartz fossil]

Implementing Tic Tac Toe using matrix math would yield a very efficient representation for the one game that really does not need it.

I mean, it's a sensible technique in general; The fraction of effort that goes into game board calculations when doing graph search for games is surprisingly large. But for Tic Tac Toe, the state space is also surprisingly small.

[still jewel]

hello

[unreal river]

hi

[red tusk]

@boreal pulsar tictactoe 3x3 is determenistic. There is always draw, or starting player wins if second player makes a mistake. So it's quite possible to algorithmically program the winning/drawing strategy. However, it could be interesting to try reinforcement learning for the second player (who goes second) and to see if he makes mistakes or not.

Eventually after learning it will not do mistakes, of course

[pine plinth]

And second wins if first makes a mistake

[red tusk]

Well it's much harder for the first to make a mistake

[quartz fossil]

Who wants optimality when you can have a fair challenge?

With an optimal opponent, you can't actually win.

Huh, but it's a good thing that we're talking about it. My AI scores the empty board as inf for the starting player, instead of as 0. That's odd.

[shy night]

does anyone here have much experience making text based games?

i am brand new to python(and coding in general) i am currently working my way through what seems like a pretty good udemy course (started yesterday). on the side i have started a little text based adventure game that i am hoping i can get my 7 year old to play which will encourage his reading. im pretty comfortable now with making a simple if elif else type of adventure im just wondering what other functionality i could add to make it more interesting. or should i just stick to the course for now?

[quartz fossil]

Sounds sufficient. You can do quite much with print and input, I'm even playing some board games.

Heck, if you have a good sense of abstraction, your texts may well become the basis for adding graphics.

A while loop may also be required, though.

game_states = {
    'start': {
        'text_repr': "Finish the game?",
        'outcomes': {
            'yes': 'finish',
            'no': 'start',
        },
    },
    'finish': {
        'text_repr': "Thanks for playing.",
        'game_is_done': True,
    },
}
current_state = 'start'
game_has_ended = False
while not game_has_ended:
    state = game_states[current_state]
    print(state['text_repr'])
    if 'game_is_done' in state:
        game_has_ended = True
    else:
        choice = input(f"Your choice ({', '.join(state['outcomes'].keys())}):")
        current_state = state['outcomes'][choice]

Now let's see whether that works... HAH! NotJust a single bug (that I can find)! The minimal text adventure; That should keep a 7-year-old's dad occupied for a few hours. Have fun!

I could make it a lot simpler though, by making it less data-driven.

def start_state():
    choice = input("Finish the game (yes, no):")
    if choice == 'yes':
        return 'finish'
    else:
        return 'start'


def finish_state():
    print("Thanks for playing.")


game_states = {
    'start': start_state,
    'finish': finish_state,
}
current_state = 'start'
game_has_ended = False
while not game_has_ended:
    state = game_states[current_state]
    outcome = state()
    if outcome is None:
        game_has_ended = True
    else:
        current_state = outcome

hmm better but still doesnt look right

[quartz fossil]

That'll work for a while, but you are creating an ever-deepening tree, which will eventually become unmaintainable. Also you don't have re-merging paths through your game, unless you copypaste whole branches to other places. This will cause another maintenance problem, namely that if you change something in a copied branch, you will also have to change it in the pasted one.

[shy night]

so i cheated a little bit and put this code into chatgpt and asked to improve it. but i dont fully understand what it did or why it works

[quartz fossil]

ChatGPT is a commensurate fabulist. It'll maybe be helpful to you once you know how to weed out the nonsense.

Other than that, that's not cheating, but putting any tool that you know to the task.

this was what it gave me back

[quartz fossil]

Well, it gave you a way to deal with the problems I mentioned, though in a very inelegant way.

...and I don't know whether Python is able of noticing tail recursion.

Eventually you'll find yourself within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function within a function, and while that shouldn't be a practical problem with a text adventure, it might give you an idea why I used the while loop above.

If it happens with self-calling ("recursive") functions, you might eventually run out of call stack size, and your program crashes.

Things will start becoming really ugly once you have items in rooms that can be picked up, or dropped, then you need state data, and your approach finally fails entirely.

That being said: Good job coming this far. Keep it up. 🙂 And don't get discouraged if your coding actually does blow up in your face, that'll happen for as long as you code.

[shy night]

thanks for taking time to respond to me i really appreciate it

[quartz fossil]

No problem. Humans learn from each other, I'm just paying forward what I have received. And should you persist, you might one day become a collaborator.

[shy night]

i really hope i do persist i want to change my career 🤣

[quartz fossil]

I hope you're willing to do a lot of tedious paperwork, 'cause that's what programming as a job feels like IMO. Though with an engineering background, you might transition into interesting related fields.

[shy night]

i have just taken a look at the code you gave earlier. thats a little out of my depths at the moment. ill get there

[quartz fossil]

Then ask questions.

Not to know is where we all start, not to ask is a sin against curiosity.

[shy night]

ok i ran the game and although it seems like a lot of code for something so simple

i assume as the game expands the code would not expand so much

[quartz fossil]

It's designed to be extensible, that comes with an up-front price.

[shy night]

yeh that is what i was trying to articulate

[quartz fossil]

It also pays down the technical cost of not dealing with the extending branches.

And now you can, now you know the words, and words have power. 🙂

Ideally you want your code to be a reader of books, and your story to be such a book, splitting functionality from the data that it works on; That way you can easily save and load your book, maybe even edit it in a format that has been optimized for human editing. You can also re-use your reader for different books.

...and add functionality like a reader automatically playing through your book, to insure that it can be won, that it can be lost in certain situations, and that you can't soft-lock yourself in the story.

[shy night]

i think i need to study your code and make it make sense.

[quartz fossil]

Sure. I'll be washing dishes for a bit, but feel free to ask whenever.

I could use a good distraction.

[shy night]

i think for no im probably ot of my depth a little and should maybe continue with my basic python course

for now*

and maybe find a tutorial on text based games just to get my head around some of these slightly more advanced concepts

[quartz fossil]

Point at the bits of code that confuse you. 😛

[shy night]

honestly its more or less the whole thing. like i said im just a few hours into python at the moment haha a lot of the things there i havent yet come across.

its kind of like i look at it and kind of decipher whats going on but i dont know why and i would certiainly not be able to replicate it just yet

[quartz fossil]

Yeah, fair enough. You'll have to know dictionaries and while, which may not have been taught already.

Keep at it, in a few months you'll consider that code trivial.

[shy night]

well im away from home for another 4 weeks with work. i have time for maybe 10 hours a week practice. im hoping by the time im home i can have something a little more fun for the kids to play but also still work through this course

i played around with chatgpt just to see what was possible in a text based game and its mind blowing haha

the trouble is with these generic beginner courses is that they arent very exciting. although i do feel i picked a good one

[quartz fossil]

I was assuming a low learning rate anyway, so the "in a few months you'll consider that code trivial" still stands. Also, never underestimate the value of the Python manual; You'll eventually have to learn reading it anyway.

(Probably more like weeks though.)

[shy night]

hey would you mind if i added you on here? i wont bombard you with DM's lol just be nice to have someone to actually talk to about this especially if im genuinely stuck on something

but if that is an issue for you dont worry im sure ill catch you around here some times 🙂

what are good libraries for gamedev and stuff like that

I know pygame is good, but is it coded in c or pure python?

[pine plinth]

pygame is mostly written in C, because it is a wrapper for SDL2

[wheat dune]

Oh yeah you are correct now that I think about it

but it is still super slow

why is that

[pine plinth]

because your code is bad?

pygame is fast enough

[wheat dune]

Ugh not that much

I mean it can always be optimized

It's not that slow, but I think I feel it's slower because I got used to the speeds of lower level langs

[red tusk]

So pygame is a good library for gamedev and pet projects.
If for some reason you want something more close to industry, you should look at Unity or UE

[tranquil girder]

@normal silo

[normal silo]

I'm not a Minecraft developer.

[dawn quiver]

Yeah, thats what i thought.

[quartz fossil]

"octaves" means that several Perlin noises which have different scales are added to each other. Typical example would be one with low frequency and high amplitude, which models mountains and valleys, one with high frequency and low amplitude for fine details, and several between them.

[weary burrow]

Hello,

I've been working through Al Sweigarts Beyond Python Programming Book (https://inventwithpython.com/beyond/chapter14.html). Currently I've been coding through the Tower of Hanoi game located in Chapter 14 and I'm hung up on the displayTowers(towers) function of the code:

def displayTowers(towers):
    """Display the three towers with their disks."""

    # Display the three towers:
    for level in range(TOTAL_DISKS, -1, -1):
        for tower in (towers["A"], towers["B"], towers["C"]):
            if level >= len(tower):
                displayDisk(0) # Display the bare pole with no disk.
            else:
                displayDisk(tower[level]) # Display the disk.
        print()
    # Display the tower labels A, B, and C:
    emptySpace = " " * (TOTAL_DISKS)
    print("{0} A{0}{0} B{0}{0} C\n".format(emptySpace))```

The way I'm understanding this, starting from the beginning of the game,  on the first pass, level is 5. Every tower displays the bear pole because 5 is greater than or equal to the `len() `of each list. Then level becomes 4, 4 is not greater  >= 5 so the  `else: ` gets called to display 5 on it's pole while towers B and C display a bare pole.  The loop will continue to fill out all 5 disk on tower A, and the reason why the stopping point is -1, is because otherwise we would be missing a disk? Then the program takes player interaction and the process starts over again?

Is this the correct way to think through the displayTowers() function?

[wintry kettle]

Guys, please help me decide, i want to start working on a game that is an action RPG, one that you have companions that orbit the player and supports them.

Which engine would be best suited for this, unity or unreal?

[dawn quiver]

Wdym by that?

Like make mods with python instead of Java?

[woven scaffold]

In my opinion unity is more likely useful for a RPG game

[tranquil girder]

Neither support Python, so both are bad choices if you want to program in Python. I suggest Ursina or Panda3d, especially if it's 3D. Pygame is also good if you're new to programming, since there's a lot of learning resources like tutorials for it

[tacit geode]

There are a lot of tutorials available for Unity with C# you should try it out Unreal has quite a steep learning curve if you're just a single dev Unity is more than enough again a lot of free resources are available on YouTube.

[tacit geode]

Python is good for making small games i agree i have made quite a lot of games with pygame. DaFluffyPotato on youtube is quite insane with pygame he makes really cool games with it I cant reach his level but still a beginner would be better off using an engine just so he doesn't loses motivation he can see results very fast as compared to the other way. Currently is use C++ with raylib to make games its very very easy compared to SDL2. C++ is still the king for making games other languages are just imagining to be where it is.

[wintry kettle]

Thanks guys 😄

[spice bear]

hi

can i make a game using only /print command ?

cuz its all i know rn about python and some other things

[normal silo]

What are the other things?

[spice bear]

string

variable

[normal silo]

Do you know "if" or "while" or "for?"

[spice bear]

from math import

i know if and else

[normal silo]

Do you know "input?"

[spice bear]

no

i started learning it yesterday

[normal silo]

You need input, to get input, but with print, input, variables, and if, it's already enough to make a very simple game.

[spice bear]

oh what game are we talking about
something like call of duty or pubg or fortnite ?

[normal silo]

No, like a guess the number game.

[spice bear]

oh thats even better !

so what app are u using for coding with python ?

[normal silo]

Vim, but I don't recommend it for a beginner.

[spice bear]

i use PyCharm is it good

[normal silo]

I have never used PyCharm.

Any text editor will do for now, don't worry about which editor.

[spice bear]

do u know how to write a code to a simple number guess game ?

[normal silo]

Yes.

[spice bear]

how many lignes does it takes ?

[normal silo]

If you learn "while," then about 10 at most I guess?

[spice bear]

can you write it for me to test something

i mean i know how to make a simple 2D platformer game in unity but never fully understand the code
so i want to learn how to do it in python and this time understand what i am doing

in the coding side

[normal silo]

Me writing it for you will ruin the learning process for you. Are you sure? I highly recommend not taking the easy path here and instead making it yourself, otherwise you will just get stuck later again because you did not internalize how to write code.

[spice bear]

idk how to start tbh

[normal silo]

I can give you an outline in plain English though, you just need to convert it to Python using the concepts you have learned.

[spice bear]

uhh i can try

[normal silo]

The game is a number guessing game where the player must enter a number and keep guessing until they guess the correct number. The secret number can be some number between 1 and 10.

Execution steps of the code:
1. Create a variable that holds the secret number that the user is trying to guess.
2. Ask the user for an input and convert that input string to a number.
3. While the number entered by the user is not equal to the secret number, ask the user for another number.
4. Now that the user has correctly guessed the number, print a message saying that you guessed correctly.

[spice bear]

😶

how to ask for input tho ?

[normal silo]

I will add a list of concepts needed for each part: ```

1. Variables, integers.
2. Variables, input, strings, integers, string to integer.
3. While loops, input, strings, integers, string to integer.
4. Print.

[spice bear]

4 is the part that i can do rn

[normal silo]

Then you need some more concepts first.

[spice bear]

so i need first to make a variable that contains the number that i want others to guess ?

[normal silo]

Yes, that is step one.

[spice bear]

and...

[normal silo]

Steps 2-4.

[spice bear]

hmmm

print something that ask u to guess a number ?

[normal silo]

Yes, but look up input.

[spice bear]

can i talk to u in private ?

[normal silo]

No.

[spice bear]

ok i understand

why tho

i mean

ok nvm

ohhhhhhhhhhh

i understand now

so its something like this :
print('Enter your name:')
x = input()
print('Hello, ' + x)

[normal silo]

Yes, but before using something new, I recommend looking a bit more into it. What does it take as arguments (what can you put in the () / give it)? What does it return (what does it give back / out)? Etc. To make sure you know what you are working with.

[spice bear]

me go watch tutorial in youtube
me say thanks
me go learn now
me say bye

[normal silo]

In general, just reading multiple sources about it before using it.

[normal silo]

Good luck, have fun.

[thick sequoia]

Can someone help me with an issue I'm having in pygame?

I have this class that should print "Hello" when clicked, however it only prints the debug statement.

class Img_Button:
    def __init__(self, screen, img, x, y):
        self.screen = screen
        self.img = img
        self.x = x
        self.y = y

        self.image_rect = img.get_rect()
    
    def draw(self):
        self.screen.blit(self.img, (self.x, self.y))

    def clicked(self, event):
        if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN and event.button == 1:
            print("debug")
            if self.image_rect.collidepoint(event.pos):  # Check if the click is on the image
                print("Hello")```
There are no errors, the code runs fine, it just doesnt print "Hello".

[dawn nacelle]

In your __init__() method, when you get the rect of the image, the x and y values of the rect will always be 0 and 0 - because it's just the image. You have to overwrite the x and y values in that rect after you get it, like this:

self.image_rect = image.get_rect()
self.image_rect.x = self.x
self.image_rect.y = self.y

[brisk yew]

@thick sequoia or the shorter option of just image.get_rect(topleft=(self.x, self.y)) or image.get_rect(x=self.x, y=self.y)

[brisk yew]

basically self.image_rect = img.get_rect(x=self.x, y=self.y) is what you'd change, that's about it
and tbf, you can shorten it all to just this

[quasi patrol]

what is the game made in? just pygame?

or ce?

[marble jewel]

pygame-ce

its just python, pygame-ce, and the opensimplex module

[haughty parcel]

does anyone know why this dot isnt centered, its driving me fucking nuts.

import pygame
import sys

BLACK = (0, 0, 0)

    g.run_game()```

nvm i think i fixed it

[unreal river]

Personally, I would choose the second one. But, it's up to you which one do you want to use.

[civic fable]

i think its imposible

[manic totem]

i need help, why its overlap with the previous number instead of changing it

    def redraw_window():

        WIN.blit(BACKGROUND, (0, 0))

        level_label = main_font.render(f"Level : {level}", 1, (255, 255, 255))
        live_label = main_font.render(f"Lives : {lives}", 1, (255, 255, 255))

        WIN.blit(level_label, (10, 590))
        WIN.blit(live_label, (WIDTH - live_label.get_width() - 10, 590))

        for enemy in enemies:
            enemy.draw(WIN)

        player.draw(WIN)

        pygame.display.update()

    while run:
        clock.tick(FPS)

        if len(enemies) == 0:
            level += 1
            wave_length += 5
            for i in range(wave_length):
                enemy = Enemy(random.randrange(30, WIDTH - 100), random.randrange(-1500, -100))
                enemies.append(enemy)```

[brisk yew]

you need add WIN.fill("black") before blitting the background to clear the surface

[manic totem]

Thanks

[wild tulip]

Definitely the second one it feels way more clean and organized

[woven scaffold]

Second

what should i add

im a bit new to python

1 - 2 years

[daring willow]

why do we need pygame.USEREVENT in pygame? Someone please help me understand this in layman's term

I know we can have keyboard and mouse events but what are these custom events and why do we need them?

[gray sail]

USEREVENT is the passive listener for user inpuit in general?
not quite sure on this one

just want to get the 50 messages done ...

[knotty hamlet]

If you want to fire your own event it needs a type

If you don’t see the use of custom events don’t use them

[dawn quiver]

Oo, this looks cool!

Simple but still cool!

[manic totem]

All i did is just stole png from google and follow tutorial from some dude on youtube but ok

[glossy radish]

Sorry , i am a newbie to , i would like ask if ; If i made a quiz app in Python ( that i am making now ) once finish , if any friend with windows download my app , does he will need install python ? or , may be i can include a " small kind of litlle framework " or may be better change for .exe ? may be change for . exe and install like any other windows app would work better ? i am asking because my friend , she is very lazy ( changing or testing other languages or apps ) Please anyone have any sugestion , about what i can do for run a python app in a PC without python installed , please ? Thank you very much in advance

There are multiple approaches to packaging Python apps to executables, the most common packagers used for that are pyinstaller, cx_Freeze and nuitka

Good

Hi, I'm working on a card game and I'm getting an error when I try to select a card in the console (I tried using 1 - 8 the ss shows 0 after attempting the rest). Any suggestions?

[brisk yew]

What's the issue exactly here? The list is empty?

Probably should start with why the list is empty then

Can't really suggest much because you have provided almost no information to work with except the traceback which on its own is not all that helpful without the necessary code to reproduce the issue

[small crown]

Ok sorry I was waiting to send the code... Every server has their own preferred method of sharing code...

[brisk yew]

providing info upfront is probably the way to go everywhere

[small crown]

https://sourceb.in/3swlep1RRF

[dawn quiver]

you want the fixed code ?

[small crown]

No, I want to understand why it was broken

[dawn quiver]

an unexpected indentation at that line. 13

i added this

`# Some code...

if condition:
# Indentation level 1
pile.append(card)
# More code...`

[small crown]

Ok cool thanks I'll take a look

[dawn quiver]

its the correct indentation

[small crown]

Yes, please 😬

[dawn quiver]

https://sourceb.in/UY6ZPLnA6Q

take a look at it yourself

[small crown]

return had an unexpected indentation?

line 13

return hand

[dawn quiver]

wait the code you provided works fine it wasnt working at first

[small crown]

yeah it kept crashing after choosing a card

[dawn quiver]

oh wait

[small crown]

U got it to work with code I sent?

[dawn quiver]

for me it was

game.py", line 13 pile.append(card) IndentationError: unexpected indent

[small crown]

...

Did the original code work?

[small crown]

I don't see this in the code u sent me 😕

[dawn quiver]

is this how it suposed to work ?

[small crown]

Yes, but can u choose a card?

[small crown]

for the moment yes

It's not its final iteration I'm just trying to understad the logic so I can create my own rules

[dawn quiver]

i think not

[small crown]

u should be able to put 1 - 8 in the console

[dawn quiver]

yes

i can do that

[small crown]

it doesn't do that for me

[dawn quiver]

i fixed it

[small crown]

but I'm using replit

that's what I'm getting

[dawn quiver]

want the code i added some CHECKS 'DRAW' 'QUIT' to handle input properly

'DRAW' - they draw a card from the deck and continue the game.
"QUIT," the game ends.
3 - i also modified the condition Instead of using any(), a list comprehension is used to generate a list of valid cards based on the is_valid_move() function.
Simplified the card comparison
Instead, I changed it to a direct comparison card == player_choice to check if the card object matches the player's choice.

[small crown]

ohh I have it set to the card number

smfh

damn still breaks for me

[dawn quiver]

https://sourceb.in/79oX4EMcrZ

here

[small crown]

thanks!

[dawn quiver]

the corrected code

[small crown]

Nice!

it works

thank u so much

[dawn quiver]

NP

i added more Checks DRAW and QUIT

[small crown]

I still have to setup the rules and at least one more player before I can adapt it for my discord bot 😄

[dawn quiver]

U got it lmk if u needed Help

[small crown]

ok so it adds a card but doesn't update the player's hand yet I'll start there

I think I need a break 😂

[dawn quiver]

let me add some more fetrues since im not busy

[small crown]

Have you ever played crazy 8s?

It’s similar to Uno but with a standard deck

[dawn quiver]

No

[dawn quiver]

hmm

[small crown]

I actually think I learned some Python backwards because I started with discord.py

[dawn quiver]

i tried coding a discord bot was never successful

[small crown]

I can help you with incorporating slash commands if you want

Unless you’re using discord.py 2.0 a lot of things are depreciated

I started with slash commands because later during polishing stages it’s a lot easier to just add the code

Like cogs etc

I just started developing a new bot…

But I’ve been tinkering for a few years now… I actually started with node.js and then Python

I got tired of punctuating every line like a cyberpunk graphic novel… damn u ‘;’ Python is much more logical 🖖

Node.js has its advantages but I was losing my damn mind before switching to Python

[dawn quiver]

ik node.js aswell

[small crown]

You can run a bot in Python with like 10 lines of code

[dawn quiver]

that right

[small crown]

Again I was using discord api with node so still a beginner 👋

The idea was to use discord bots to teach myself how to code

Luckily I’ll be taking a Python class for my degree… like I said I did stuff kinda backwards

Ofc the class isn’t at the beginning of the program and I don’t always like waiting 😂

[dawn quiver]

hmm

[dawn quiver]

go get it

i started coding when i was 16

[small crown]

[dawn quiver]

14*

now am 17

[small crown]

I’m almost 40 😂

[dawn quiver]

your doin a great job

somehow added to my bot

might need to add some more commands

[small crown]

The mind isn’t quite as sharp at that age like it is at 16 or 17 😂

[dawn quiver]

right !!

[small crown]

I can setup the bot but don’t know the logic to create the game weird huh? 😄

[dawn quiver]

i just dont stick to one thing from js to python c++ and i also devloped some custom FIveM For m friends for free lol

[small crown]

I already have a list of all the rules in my noggin

[dawn quiver]

you should be able to get it completed by 1 week
