[grim current]

no worries 👍

yeah , amazon sucks for these kind of things

[knotty granite]

Good thing I didn’t buy from amazon

[knotty granite]

Yeah

Lol

Thanks man

Imma go back to coding now

The price of controller module is good tho?

Or i should order it from here too

[grim current]

i usually dont use amazon for any kind of modules and such

i usually use that site i sent

but you can compare price on both platforms and go with the cheaper one, upto you

[knotty granite]

Yeah

Thanks again

Byeee

[grim current]

bye 👋

[knotty granite]

Btw i have a question bro

Can i use raspberry pi( the cheapest one) to make the same thing

?

Then i will not need to use arduino

Right?

[grim current]

yes, its raspberry pi pico , and yes it can appear as a usb device , and yes it can be programmed using micropython/circuitpython

but you wont find a nicely made shield for it like you have for arduino , you will have to get your hands dirty and do some breadboard wiring (its not hard tbh)

[knotty granite]

What should i do according to you?

[grim current]

just go with arduino thing, its premade so less chances to mess up

[knotty granite]

Yeah

So i just connect the controller module to arduino

And comnect the arduino to laptop

And then i have a working controller

Just need to use pygame.controller

[grim current]

woah , not that fast

you need to put some program onto that arduino first otherwise it wont know what to do

you should google something like diy USB gamepad with arduino leonardo

you will find many results , go to one of the links , they will explain you how to program the arduino and what code to use

i am not on PC rn otherwise i would have searched it up real quick

it shouldnt be hard to find tho

[knotty granite]

Oh okie

[slate crane]

Like there is no extension too :(((((((((((((( Me sad 😦

[static trout]

guys you have channel i want to learn administration control for my work im currently in computer laboratory assigned im freshment i want to learn basic role of an admin please can someone help me?

[tacit geode]

got back to pygame after some time

btw it was my fav python lib

when i was learning python 5yrs ago

its also random everytime

[vagrant saddle]

you don't have to learn a lot there are ready made programs for handling that shield via serial port

it all depends on if you want to DIY or just make a cheap demo

[knotty granite]

oh

thanks

help needed here

why is the text score out of the rectangle i drew around it

is smthg wrong?

[vagrant saddle]

hard to tell without the code and/or a hand drawing of that you want

[knotty granite]

oh let me give the gist

one sec

https://gist.github.com/ISUCKATCODING2005/e8fbe0468d36891851deaee198913b7e

@vagrant saddle

here is the code

Did u find anything wrong?

[vagrant saddle]

you want a enclosing rectangle bigger than font space ?

[knotty granite]

Yeahh yeah

Also i want the text to be fully in center of the rectangle

Actually getting it in center would solve all the problem

Since its getting weirdly aligned with the centre of the rectangle

But i have alr set its position to center=(400,50)

[vagrant saddle]

if using pygame-ce you can scale_by() the rect

[knotty granite]

pygame-ce?

[vagrant saddle]

https://pyga.me/docs/ref/rect.html#pygame.Rect.scale_by

[vagrant saddle]

the pygame fork from pygame community discord

[knotty granite]

ohh

thanks

i will try this now

[vagrant saddle]

try to put all your images assets in "graphics" fodler not "Desktop/New Folder"

[vagrant saddle]

don't use r"C:..." for path but eg "graphics/Player/player_walk_1.png" instead

[knotty granite]

ok

lemme do that too

Hey bro

I am unable to use the scale

How i do it?

I did pg.scale_by(Score_rect,2)

@vagrant saddle

Can you correct my syntax?

Pls

[vagrant saddle]

works for me

[loud jasper]

I've just developed a ping pong game. Feel free to check it out, play the game, and share any suggestions you may have.

https://github.com/Jugglerish/PingPong_Game_In_Pygame

[vagrant saddle]

paddle movement is a bit slow when using vsync

[loud jasper]

Okayyy, will work on this.

Thankyou

[marble jewel]

pygame-ce supports it just fine

pygame-ce

[quasi patrol]

cool

[subtle jackal]

So.
I know this is a Python Discord.
But does anyone know how to do C# and dealt with RocketMod for a game called Unturned?

Please lemme know ASAP. I went to the C# discord, but they blew me off and just, kept taking about other things when I asked for help on stuff.

[dawn quiver]

Try some of the general programming servers, e.g. world of coding

[pine plinth]

you also can try asking in off-topic channels here

[knotty granite]

@grim current

Cant order from robu

[grim current]

lol wat

[knotty granite]

The arduino leonardo

[grim current]

i have never had problems with that site lol

what name u using ? dont try and use some special characters ig

[knotty granite]

Ohh

I am using my own name

Lemme try special charcters

[grim current]

no , dont
just type ur normal name

it gets used when delivering your parcel.
you dont want them asking around in you neighbourhood , "is there a ISUCKATCODING(#)" nearby ?"

[knotty granite]

Oh i mean i am using my real name in it

Still not going through

[grim current]

try on some other browser / device

if it still remains, try contacting their customer support

also check if you already have an address in the address book tab , if yes then delete it first and then try adding this one

[knotty granite]

Tried on other device

Not going through

Still

🥲

@grim current not going through

Tried different device and browser too

[grim current]

can you show what you are typing in ?
maybe there is some trailing space ??

[knotty granite]

Oh wait

I am putting a space in first name

Removed the space

It went through

Thanks

sorry no time today

[knotty granite]

ohh np

lemme see stackoverlow

@olive grotto if free can help me?

[pine plinth]

can you stop pinging random people and start reading your error messages?

[knotty granite]

no

now read my name again

hello

[polar shore]

im here

[knotty granite]

okie. imma share my gist

one min

https://gist.github.com/ISUCKATCODING2005/f41349930d5aaa6abb5e56941177c8fc

[vagrant saddle]

you lack () after convert_alpha

[knotty granite]

ohhhhhh

[polar shore]

convert_alpha

[knotty granite]

thanksssss

but why was it indicating an error in line 37

its real strange how this all works

💀

[polar shore]

@knotty granite line 36 gets the function

stored inside the variable

line 37 gets the function as an argument

[knotty granite]

ohh

thanks for the explanation

u guuys da best

[polar shore]

np

in my opinion you should also shrink the line whenver u can

would help you to debug it and detect problems more shortly with your eyes

@knotty granite

what i think u should do is at the start of the file place all the paths in string variables

and use those string variables inside the functions etc

that way the lines would be shorter and also u'd be able to change the paths more easily

[knotty granite]

yeah

that would be so much clean ong

[polar shore]

yep

[knotty granite]

the youtuber i am watching has the same messy code lol

its so difficult to locate everything

[polar shore]

yea so change it and do it better on your own

always think what u can split etc

everything that starts with r" etc, place inside strings at the beginning of the file

[knotty granite]

ok

can i also make an asset section in the beginning?

like store all the paths in variables at start

[polar shore]

yea thats what i said

or u mean something else

[knotty granite]

ohh

[polar shore]

path = r"etc
var = somefunc(path)

[knotty granite]

i mean the same thing

[knotty granite]

yes

[polar shore]

store all the paths at the beginning of the file

in variabbles

[knotty granite]

okie

[polar shore]

then use the variables as function parameters later on

i'd also move screen width and height there

bbefore the first function

@knotty granite

so that it could easily be changed

[knotty granite]

ohh

yeah

i will make changes now

so it looks better and readable

[polar shore]

yea

i dont have a problem with long lines personally, even longer than that, but only when it's necessary

[dry cloak]

I remember before i learnt about the triple quotations i would litterally write entire descriptions in a single line (using /n) and it would stretch for miles

[knotty granite]

Lol

Triple qouatations are the best to write comments

Fr fr

https://gist.github.com/ISUCKATCODING2005/0536ed6bb152721692bc043357a1be29

@unkempt wren can help me ,if available?

Anyone here?

[knotty granite]

@olive grotto can help ?

[brisk yew]

they're not for comments, # is for comments
you either use """ for multiline string values (that you'd use) or docstrings (probably most common usage) (ig docstrings can be considered comments in a sense, but they have a particular structure, so not really)

maybe make it web playable

[knotty granite]

@olive grotto hey 👋

Are you available rn?

[olive grotto]

sure

[knotty granite]

So my code is working

But i am spawning only 1 mob both in sky and on ground

💀

I have 2 mobs and i dunno why it’s spawning just one everywhere

Lemme send the code

[knotty granite]

https://gist.github.com/ISUCKATCODING2005/0536ed6bb152721692bc043357a1be29

here is my code

i should be getting 2 mobs(snail and fly) one on ground and one in sky, but i am getting a fly at both locations when i run the game

[olive grotto]

i see.. why do you get two when you think you should get one of each?

[pine plinth]

.bottom is never equal to 270, so you are never rendering snails

[vast pagoda]

Hello guys

[knotty granite]

Ohh

But isn’t the y set 270

[knotty granite]

Yeah

I am getting 2 flies

And no snails

[knotty granite]

Yeah

I get it finally

It should be .top==270

Lol

old news

[knotty granite]

i want to make my background do infinite scroll

so i wrote this code

import pygame as pg

pg.init()
h=800
w=450
game_ac=True
screen=pg.display.set_mode((h,w))
#surface
surf1=pg.image.load(r"C:\Users\LENOVO\Desktop\UltimatePygameIntro-main\graphics\Sky.png")
surf2=pg.image.load(r"C:\Users\LENOVO\Desktop\UltimatePygameIntro-main\graphics\Sky.png")
surf1_rect=surf1.get_rect(topleft=(0,0))
surf2_rect=surf2.get_rect(topleft=(450,0))

a=True
while a==True:
      surf1_rect.left-=1
      screen.blit(surf1,surf1_rect)
      if surf1_rect.left==449:
            screen.blit(surf2,surf2_rect)
            surf2_rect.left-=1
            
      if surf2_rect.x==0:
         surf1_rect.x=450
         screen.blit(surf1,surf1_rect)
      pg.display.update()
pg.quit()

but the background still keeps stretching

why is that

help?

btw this is just a test run i made

[crimson hound]

Does anyone have some article/book/blogpost/example on networking in an ECS architecture?

[vagrant saddle]

google for "Distributed Object System"

[crimson hound]

🤔

that does not sound helpful

[vagrant saddle]

weird i thought it was helpfull and that's why disney implemented astron to make some mmorpg with ecs

some videos here https://discourse.panda3d.org/t/distributed-networking-astron-and-owner-view/27232/2

[crimson hound]

ah, that's a name of some specific technology? because google showed me some very generic thing

[vagrant saddle]

that's very specific to game and computing cluster and tbh it can get very complicated very fast

especially for games that have unpredictable motion ( eg FPS )

for fixing network time sync related problem there's not much litterature

maybe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NLe4IpdS1w

[quartz fossil]

@crimson hound @vagrant saddle In my not-yet-battletested opinion, ECS and networking are orthogonal to each other. Consider networking as a system that updates affected entities, and sends out updates, at a defined point in your cycle of systems.

Anyway, I want to implement an economy-based game about extracting, transforming, and transporting resources. How that'd look like in the trivial case (continuous amounts of resources, zero travel time), I get; A directed graph of transformations, a bunch of linear equations, and finding the point where the line crosses 0 or the maximum capacity of some storage. When I consider the non-trivial case, an abyss of "There are probably lots of special cases to consider... But which?" opens up. Since this kind of problem has probably been researched to death by economists, what models do they use?

[normal silo]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrIY0eIyqmI

[dry cloak]

Firstly you dont need to load the same image twice - its a waste of memory

I will explain more but i gtg

[unreal river]

So in your game loop, you are constantly decreasing surf1_rect.left by 1, that is 0, -1, -2, -3, and so on. but you are checking if it's 449 which will never happen

[knotty granite]

some improvements

but still not working as intended

import pygame as pg

pg.init()
h=800
w=450
game_ac=True
clock=pg.time.Clock()
screen=pg.display.set_mode((h,w))
#surface
surf1=pg.image.load(r"C:\Users\LENOVO\Desktop\UltimatePygameIntro-main\graphics\Sky.png")
surf2=pg.image.load(r"C:\Users\LENOVO\Desktop\UltimatePygameIntro-main\graphics\sky2.jpg")
surf1_rect=surf1.get_rect(topleft=(0,0))
surf2_rect=surf2.get_rect(topleft=(800,0))

a=True
while a==True:
      screen.fill((0,0,0))

      surf1_rect.left-=1
      if surf1_rect.left==-800:
         surf1_rect.left = 800
      if surf1_rect.left==range(0,800):
         surf1_rect.right=surf1_rect.right
      if surf2_rect.left==-800:
         surf2_rect.left=800
      screen.blit(surf1,surf1_rect)
      screen.blit(surf2,surf2_rect)
         
      pg.display.update()
      clock.tick(60)
pg.quit()

[knotty granite]

am using 2 diff imagess

[fallow glade]

Your second if statement is wrong

[knotty granite]

Can you correct it pls

I am totally burnt out 💀😭

[fallow glade]

It's tough to explain but I can change the code

[knotty granite]

Yepp

[fallow glade]

So lemme try explaining first

[knotty granite]

Oh okay

[fallow glade]

To check if the number is between two ends, you need to replace the equality check with "in"

left in range(0, 100)

This will check it the value of left is any whole number from 0 to 99

[knotty granite]

Ohh

I am using the range wrong?

[fallow glade]

Yes

[knotty granite]

Damn

Done

[fallow glade]

Then the statement inside, you are setting the same value to itself

You probably want to change surf 2's left edge to follow surf 1's right edge

[knotty granite]

Oh okay

Which if tho

?

2nd one?

[fallow glade]

You need to find that out

[knotty granite]

Yeah

Done

[fallow glade]

Any change in output?

[knotty granite]

Umm lemme check

Nope

Still the same

 surf1_rect.left-=1
      if surf1_rect.left==-800:
         surf1_rect.left = 800
      if surf1_rect.left in range(0,800):
         surf1_rect.right=surf2_rect.left
      if surf2_rect.left==-800:
         surf2_rect.left=800
      screen.blit(surf1,surf1_rect)
      screen.blit(surf2,surf2_rect)
         ```

current state

[dry cloak]

My question is why are you using the range function?

import pygame as pg

pg.init()
h=800
w=450
game_ac=True
clock=pg.time.Clock()
screen=pg.display.set_mode((h,w))
#surface
surf1=pg.image.load(r"C:\Users\LENOVO\Desktop\UltimatePygameIntro-main\graphics\Sky.png")
surf2=pg.image.load(r"C:\Users\LENOVO\Desktop\UltimatePygameIntro-main\graphics\sky2.jpg")
surf1_rect=surf1.get_rect(topleft=(0,0))
a=True
while a==True:
      screen.fill((0,0,0))

      surf1_rect.left-=1
      if surf1_rect.left==-1600:
         surf1_rect.left = 0
         
      surf2_rect.x = surf1_rect.right
      if surf1_rect.left > -800:
          screen.blit(surf1,surf1_rect)
      else:
          screen.blit(surf1, (surf1_rect.x+surf2_rect.width, 0))
      screen.blit(surf2,surf2_rect)
         
      pg.display.update()
      clock.tick(60)
pg.quit()

That should work presuming both the images have a width of 800px

And could be improved by implementing deltaTime so that it is consistent

How it works is you just move the first image to the left each frame, and reset its position back to 0 once it reaches 2x its full width off screen

You always draw the second image to the right of the first one, but if the first image is fully off screen then you draw it to the right of the second one so it fills in the gap after the second image

[crimson hound]

I've seen this video twice maybe I should rewatch it though

[finite hatch]

can anyone help me with this i dont know how to resolve the issue and i need to have this done for college haha

[crimson hound]

What is actions?

Can you share all the code?

!paste

[frank field]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[finite hatch]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/PW7Q

[crimson hound]

What do you think actions['dimension_exit'] should be?

[finite hatch]

bro idek XD

i had my mate help me now im stuck ahahaha

[crimson hound]

What will this program output?

foo = {
  "a": 1,
  "b": 2,
}
print(foo["a"])
print(foo["c"])

[finite hatch]

1 right?

cos theres no c in it

so it wont be able to print anything for c

[crimson hound]

The last line will raise a KeyError

[finite hatch]

oh so i havent defined what dimension exit is?

[crimson hound]

!e

foo = {"a": 1, "b": 2}
print(foo["a"])
print(foo["c"])

[frank field]

@crimson hound :x: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 | 1

[crimson hound]

Yes. If you look at the actions dictionary, there's no "dimension_exit" key

[finite hatch]

ohhhhh thankyou so much dude

i had dimension exit in locations

should i of had it in actions

aswell

[knotty granite]

Can you pls give me the code? 😭🙏🏻

I am burnt out bruv

[dry cloak]

I did...

Its above my explination

[knotty granite]

Ohh

Thanks

Lemme implement

[dry cloak]

I typed on mobile so it may have a few flaws

[knotty granite]

ohh np i will make changes if there will be any indentation errors

its working but the same stretching issue is still there

@olive grotto

Hey bro

I need help

Big one

I gave been struggling for 2 days with my code 🥲

[olive grotto]

you should ask your question 😄 there are probably many that can help out 😄

[knotty granite]

But you are the best 💀🙏🏻

import pygame as pg

pg.init()
h=800
w=450
game_ac=True

         surf1_rect.left = 800
      if surf1_rect.left in range(0,-801,-1):
         surf2_rect.left=surf1_rect.right
      '''if surf2_rect.left<-800:
         surf2_rect.left=800
         surf2_rect.left=surf1_rect.right'''
      screen.blit(surf1,surf1_rect)
      screen.blit(surf2,surf2_rect)
         
      pg.display.update()
      clock.tick(60)
pg.quit()

Still having problem

i have gotten to this point

but i dunno why surf1 is not going behind surf 2

[olive grotto]

do you have the sky2.jpg and Sky.png files to share?

[knotty granite]

Yes

[olive grotto]

maybe on is transparent png while the other is just a jpeg

[knotty granite]

One is reversed one is normal

[olive grotto]

its also unclear to me what is wrong

[knotty granite]

I want to make a infinite scroller background

But it always stops at surf 2

Or if i try something else in my code it works but there is this weird stretch

This is the the other video

[knotty granite]

Did you find smthg that could help me?

My brain is hurting 💀

[olive grotto]

why do you use two images? wouldnt it just be better to use one image?

[knotty granite]

Oh than it would look its not in continuouation

This is how these 2 different images joined together looks like

If i use the same image

It doesn’t join in middle like this

[olive grotto]

i see, so tell me again why your using two images?

[knotty granite]

Thats why i am using a reversed image

[knotty granite]

So i can get this thing done

[olive grotto]

if you want to make an infinite scrollable background, you just have the left side of the image match up with the right side and you use one image

[knotty granite]

Oh

Is there any easg code for it

I checked some tutorials but , oh boy they are difficult to follow💀

I am done with the game alr

I just want to add this final touch

So that it looks better

[olive grotto]

let me read something in the docs, i dont know pygame you see.

[knotty granite]

Ohh

I will try to find smthg too

pmp might be able to help me

@vagrant saddle heyyy

Bro

I need your help if you are available rn

I am so stuck rn 😭

[olive grotto]

so the key to get this to work is to think of the scrolling how many tiles of images do you need to fit the witdth of the screen

and here im just thinking about the same image repated over and over again

so if my background image was this image

the game window would show this

with me on this so far @knotty granite ?

[knotty granite]

Yeah

I saw this same thing in the tutorial

So i need a new background now

That looks the same everywhere?

[olive grotto]

well.. i dont think you should focus on that

figuring out how to repeate and tile the background is more important

@knotty granite the key point here is that you need to be able to blit the image on the screen next to each other

and since your moving the images some speed amount, you need to have more then the exact screen width of tiling images

[knotty granite]

Yoo

I have an idea

I cut out the background into a 200px image

And then find a part that will make it look more continuous

[knotty granite]

Yeah

[olive grotto]

no need for that, the point im making is that you have to think of it as a tiling placement

[knotty granite]

Hey i have another idea as well. Should i try to define a function that would append in loop and always take the surface on list index 1

[olive grotto]

if your image is larger then your screen, you still have to add one more image copy on the side so you dont see black when you scroll

[olive grotto]

learn how to do this with one image

[knotty granite]

And then keep subtracting 1 from it to make it move

[olive grotto]

then you can expand this to more then one surface if you want

[knotty granite]

Yeah

Yeah

[olive grotto]

the animation above is one image

[knotty granite]

Lemme make a new program then

For just 1 image

Then i try with 2

[olive grotto]

and if you do it incorrect, it looks strange

[knotty granite]

Yeah

[knotty granite]

Your frames look really good

[olive grotto]

this is with the wong left offset

https://i.imgur.com/G6wHTbm.gif

[knotty granite]

Ohh

I still have one more thing to do

[olive grotto]

so dependant if you move to the left or right, you need to add more then one to offset the screen width

[knotty granite]

Program this thing to work as a controller

[knotty granite]

Yeah

But wont that make it fast

?

Oh nvm

I thought you were talking about the value to be subtracted

Lol

[olive grotto]

im talking about tiling the same image on the left or right side depending on what way your scrolling

if the image is small, its easier to see it working

here i need to already have one more image to the right

do you want more help or do you want to experimient yourself?

[olive grotto]

very cool 😄

[knotty granite]

Oh thanks

I will experiment it myself. I dont want to bother you

I will learn more if i do it the hard way

[olive grotto]

true

I have written a short example of this using the image above, so if you want to see how i did it later, just let me know

[knotty granite]

Yepps

[knotty granite]

Okie

[olive grotto]

im also building a controller 😄 getting parts in the mail tomorrow or next week

[knotty granite]

W

I got mine for 20$

A clone arduino leonardo

And a controller module

[olive grotto]

yeah, i got mine for a bit more, and i have to solder every part on a PCB myself

and 3d print the case

[knotty granite]

Thats so cool

[olive grotto]

so a bit of work, but its very fun

[knotty granite]

I am using a 3d pen to make a box for my controller lol

[olive grotto]

a small raspberry pi for the controller

[knotty granite]

Dont have 3d printers here

[knotty granite]

Ohh

Raspberry pico?

[olive grotto]

no, the even smaller one

[knotty granite]

Ohh

Never knew there was even smaller one

[olive grotto]

ermm... let me see if i can find an image

[knotty granite]

Lol

[knotty granite]

Oh okie

[knotty granite]

I am making this controller so i achieve the dual aspect of the exhibition make a working code module , make a working model

[knotty granite]

Damn

Thats so smol

[olive grotto]

nice to see we are doing the same thing 😄

[knotty granite]

Yepps

[olive grotto]

yeah, hope i dont break it

[knotty granite]

I dont know arduino so i am just gonna copy and paste lol

Cauze i will technically have to learn C for it

But one day i sure will learn further

[olive grotto]

you dont have to learn much C to make it work, only less then 1% of C

[knotty granite]

Ohh

[olive grotto]

thats what makes arduiino programming so nice

[knotty granite]

Just the basic syntax would work?

[olive grotto]

yes

[knotty granite]

Any small courses you would suggest?

Like really short

Since now i am short on time

I must submit a prototype on monday

💀

[olive grotto]

i have not done much, and all i have done has been from learn.adafruit.com

[knotty granite]

Ohh

I will check that

[olive grotto]

#microcontrollers is also a thing we have here

[knotty granite]

I just want to learn it so i can programme my arduino to work with my controller

[knotty granite]

Oh yeah

I am taking help for lord tyrion there

He is pretty good at this stuff and knows alot about micro controllers

He even helped me choose the right components

[olive grotto]

yeah true, hope you have some progress with it

[knotty granite]

Yepps

[olive grotto]

when you get your thing to work i can still show you my pygame thing

[knotty granite]

Yepps

I will be waiting

I made up the math last night to get texture cords from the closest triangle on another mesh

so you can scale / move the triangle and it moves the decal - we can set a per face attribute 'offset' to change the section of the atlas the decal is using

I am helping someone create a game that consists of shopping for grocery items and then bagging the items tetris style. But I'm not sure where to call pygame.display.update(). The current behavior is that the grid is drawn as well as the first item. However, after we press a key to move the grocery item, the item isn't redrawn in its new position.

[olive willow]

why do you use the is keyword i think you can just type "while shopping"

but im not a very experienced python programmer so idk

im not even 100% sure what the is keyword does

[pine plinth]

im doing surface.set_at(pos, col) in a loop
im drawing a lot of points
is there a faster way to do that?

pyhon can be used to make games ?

[bright plover]

There is an engine too. But you can still make games in ide using pygame library

remove the __class__ use type() function

type() function takes an object as an argument and returns the class of the object.

The object whose class you want to get.

If you cannot use the type() function to get the class of the classoption object, you can simply pass the classoption object itself to the lambda function.

    with open(os.path.join(currentdir, "Worlds", worlds[option] + ".json"), "r") as worldd:

im trying to make a text based game and im wondering how to output this in the console

from a reference like this (just example)

[vagrant saddle]

maybe with chafa.py

[tame drum]

ooh whats that 👀, can ya send a link to it?

[vagrant saddle]

https://hpjansson.org/chafa/ py bindings https://chafapy.mage.black/

[tame drum]

thanks 👍

[tame drum]

heres another reference image i wanna change to ascii text art. just looked at chafa and also found ascii_magic(kinda buggy) but im wondering if there are any other libraries like that.. better if the rows can be changed

also to change the background (white) to be transparent/null
and only make the ascii text color to be only 1 color(e.g. green)

[grand apex]

Does anybody know the name for the shade of green that old computer/phone/calculator screens used to be?

[brisk yew]

you use some sort of an API usually, for example, moderngl

[meager plover]

hi guys i need some help i was learn about pyinstaller for my pygame and it was work i want to know about how to be an .apk and could it be should change the controler system become touch screen becouse the platform is coming from hp it self,,,,my question is what should i use a module to be an apk not an exe...thanks you.

[vagrant saddle]

for touch you could have a look to page source here https://pygame-web.github.io/showroom/pygame-scripts/org.pygame.touchpong.html

[meager plover]

wait is that a game sample pong thankyou btw for reference

[willow heron]

So I saw something about interactive LLM powered NPC's. Where you can use AI to interact with NPC using voice and there's an open source code on github. So my question is if anyone is familiar with the project or the idea. I wanna try to rebuild that code to other game rather than the reference game which was Cyberpunk 2077. But it seemed too complicated to my poor knowledge of using python

Also I don't know but it seemed like one needed 2 displays + a webcam for it to work. Does anybody know about this project and can share more input?, would be very helpful and thank u

[meager plover]

i didn research about that but it posible to be create, pygame have web camera detect, and the voice you can use module that i was forget couldbe whisper. so when some one talk it coulbe detect the word for NPC. and it gonna a lot of work and it feel so lazy to doing that without good food consuming. hope it open about game dev you want

i was try to combine pymunk and pygame and it gonna be fail again for this month...sad story of my coding. hiks.

[willow heron]

Yeah precisely, it has already been done. But I wonder how much work needs to be put in to recode for other games, and also which steps one should take. I'm new to python I mainly use c++ and c#

[meager plover]

iam not an expert programing iam only using python programing language, my suggestion is reinstall your pc. make sure you say goodbye to your code c++ and c#. you gonna be not suitable for coding becouse it have a same code syntax, step 1st is only follow to other tutorial beginer and using software for run python iam using PYCHARM. but iam not suggest you to use same like me. just find what you feel confortable.

and step 2 imnot suggest you to use python, c++ and c# it have same good to why coming to python ?

[willow heron]

I want to learn python because it's more useful when to it comes to AI training and LLM. It has far more options for developing for some aspects

And also very useful for security purposes

[meager plover]

ohk ok goodluck hope you enjoy on it, many tutorial in website you can find it.

[odd remnant]

Can code 2d games like card game?

[cold storm]

yeah easy

you can use geometry nodes and attributes

from mathutils import Vector
kx_object.blenderObject.data.attributes['CardOffset'].data[index].vector = Vector([.25,.25,0])

kx_object.blenderObject.data.vertices[index].co = kx_object.worldTransform.inverted() @ some_world_point

is the code to move a vertex and to pass a attribute into the geometry nodes and the shader graph

(geometry attributes are like per vertex/edge/face/uv corner / instance uniforms)

we can use 'instance on point' to emit a card

and offset to select the UV sheet spot for that card @odd remnant

[meager plover]

in python that i know have 2 methode

1. is a list
2. dictionary
   use insert or append
   have you buy a book on pygame its so many tutorial on there..

or you can use free tutorial, you can browser on there,

[meager plover]

when it complete use .pop for make sure it not increase to much data you was append or insert.

after that use .os write when game was closed so it will be saved when you try to play continue

[hot girder]

hi someone know how do I develop a game on python? were to start?i know some python but i dont know how to create a game

[leaden fjord]

HelloHello! I have seen a tiktok with a person taking notes in class in minecraft in a book instead of writing them in word or notepad. I have also seen working android infotainment dashboards in asseto corsa and working browsers in San andreas multiplayer.

What I am wondering is whether a game exists in which I can build a html,css, Javascript website. This year in the computer science class all of us will be building websites for a certificate and I would really like to build it in a game.
Image.

Basically I want to make a website within a game. Do you know if such a game exists?

[quartz fossil]

I don't, but embedding browsers in game engine isn't too hard; I once embedded CEF in Panda3D, but that was a bit of a failure since cefpython wasn't really maintained all that well. But why not consider the browser right in front of you?

[proper peak]

I dimly remember there was some minecraft mod that allowed rendering (interactable) websites. Why, though?

[quartz fossil]

For 3D, Panda3D.

[fossil sail]

How do you add smooth transitions using pygame? E.g: Card shuffling motion. I have started programming a card game as of a side quest to get more familiar with pygame and just coding projects in general and so wanted to know how to do this

[leaden fjord]

Where is the fun in that?

[quartz fossil]

In getting things done. You've got two problems, "How do I make a website?" and "How do I embed a browser in a game engine?", and I wouldn't rely on getting extra credit for the latter unless you ace the former.

Hi Everyone , Can someone tell me how can I deploy my pygame project?

I have heard pygbag could be used but are there any better alternative that offers easy deployment!!

[supple lantern]

I need an advice. I decided to build a shisen-sho game and I am not sure what tools to use. So far I've looked into kivy and I think that's most likely candidate since I can build for android, and I looked into tkinter since I know of a project that got away with using it and it is not that bad. I am not in a rush to finish it, it might even take a year or more so it is really important I pick the right tools. So any suggestions? What tools or libraries to use?

[little apex]

What are good methods on preventing large amount of enemies from stacking in a top down game

[dry cloak]

you didnt provide enough details, so im going to assume the problem is too many spawn. In which case you would just impose a limit to how many enemies can exsist at once

[dry cloak]

pygbag is for if you want to export your game to the web (e.g. having a game run in itch.io on the browser) and it definitley offers easy deployment, it takes 1 command and takes me like 40s to have a functioning app even with my slow pc.

but anyways if you want to export your game as an application/executable i would reccomend pyinstaller or cx_Freeze (i reccomend pyinstaller more - ive had/still have issues with cx_Freeze + pygame)

[golden cedar]

Hello guys

I just finished learning the basics of python and I wanna pursue game development. What should I do?

[brisk yew]

learn more than Python basics probably

[dry cloak]

You could try to dive straight into making games but if your 'basic knowledge' might trip you up, so i agree with matiis but then again you wont learn anything about how to actually make a game if your not trying to make a game - and it can be difficult to learn beyond the basics if you dont have a set goal/project

If you are keen on starting to see some results you can pick out a game/graphics library (such as pygame, ursina, panda3d, ect... Its up to you to figure out which one you want) and read up + watch some tutorials. But make sure to try to go beyond tutorials (take what you learn and make something different) 🙂

(@golden cedar ) i realised i responded a bit late and i should have replied so you got the notification

[tranquil girder]

I think there's a special way to install modules in pycharm.
Maybe you could find a tutorial on how to install them in pycharm specifically.

just pip install pygame won't work if you're using venv which is default when making a new project in pycharm

[proper peak]

the "special way" is just to write the pip commands in pycharm's terminal. or use the Packages tab, which is a GUI and rather self-explanatory.

guys can someone explain this

greeting()

I heared is to invoke

and its like setting a variable

[dreamy pollen]

You are defining a function that simply prints hi. It doesn't do anything until you call it. You called it by entering "greeting ()"

Functions are different than variables.

There are lots of good free basic Python tutorials online you may want to try.

doing intensive maths is not sth Python can natively do very fast, you may want to check out numba for this or find a library that can do raytracing for you where it's implemented in C but you can use the Python API, you can make it in C and port it to Python yourself too
using numba tho is probably one of the easiest options tho

also consider using a more optimized raytracing algorithm like DDA
javidx9 has a vid on that on yt

[lavish geyser]

oh ok

i also made a c++ version
but i am suposed to do it in python

here is the code btw
its a bit broken rn..
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/R2KS4WFRF6UQW5IZH24CV3GQLI

[brisk yew]

did you try with numba and/or dda yet?

[lavish geyser]

imma do that now

[tidal obsidian]

Wth is numba?

[vagrant saddle]

it's a member of the ever growing family of python compilers/jit

Try using PyPy it should make it super fast, or also Cython can give you the same performance as C, since all these objects can be converted to pure C code

hihi i am using pygame and wanted to implement a database, how can I prevent players from exploiting the database to give themselves more in-game items? like even if I make a database server can't they just decompile the game and use the code themselves to cheat?

also if I just use pybag and put it on itch will my game's source code be hidden? 😭

[vagrant saddle]

maybe in the future with a closed source licensed version 😄 and don't forget the "g" in pyGbag 😉

[vagrant saddle]

note that you cannot hide the database exchange either in the browser or on desktop with tools like MITM proxies or ethercap around

if you want to limit cheating you need to go P2P mode and implement some kind of "proof of gaming" where players validate transactions upon each other

beware that some people may have filled patents for that

[vagrant saddle]

btw if using pygbag you should come on pygame community discord there's a channel for pygame-web

[quartz gale]

😭 oh tyvm for the answer

[quartz gale]

suresure

[proper peak]

you mean, in a singleplayer game? realistically, you don't - you can make cheating harder but not prevent it.

(e.g. save editing can be prevented by encrypting and/or checksumming your saves - but then an attacker can look at how your source code reads/writes them and use that. That can be made harder by not providing source code but only compiled bytecode, but that too can be solved by e.g. running your game in a debugger, stopping, and editing the game state while it's in memory...)

[little apex]

I've been watching this for a bit now, they're really interesting! What libraries are you using for the game?

[marble jewel]

pygame-ce, opensimplex, and rsa

sockets

thats it

[little apex]

what's the difference between pygame and pygame-ce?

[marble jewel]

more up to date, more devs, more performance

more features

lots of bug fixes

[little apex]

would you suggest using it on bigger pygame projects?

[marble jewel]

over regular pygame, definitely

[little apex]

okay thanks!

I have more than 10 hours trying to get just a game on my phone

I am also using pygame btw

[quartz gale]

what if i like put the game on itchio to be able to play from the browser? then the source code wouldn't be accessible right? and if I put a database to record scores and stuff, the users wouldn't be able to cheat it or edit the database?

[proper peak]

what if i like put the game on itchio to be able to play from the browser
depends on how you do it, but typically frameworks for this execute the code in the user's browser.

[quartz gale]

oh damn

tyvm

[quartz fossil]

You run a server on top of the database that does not let players make interactions that they are not allowed to do, and let players connect only to that. In the case of itch.io, only the client's code would be accessible.

This should hold true for most data in the game anyway.

[quartz gale]

but wouldn't they be able to also use the server to edit the data if the client's code is accessible?

true

[quartz fossil]

No, because the client can only make requests anyway. It is up to the server to verify that they are valid.

[quartz gale]

icic

sorry but can you give me an example of how it would validate it?

[proper peak]

Ultimately this'd require rewriting your code to make it a client-server game, though. Like, the only way the server can be sure about validity is if all the state is stored on the server and the client just sends actions to it.

how to write tool that will log all:?

• key presses
• mouse movements
• optionally: periodic screenshots
  (i want it for my personal use, not for any malicious stuff)

this channel feels the most suitable for this question, because game libraries kinda solves same problem: they handle different events
but i want to log events that happen in any app in any context, not only when my logger is in focus

[dapper wolf]

Hi everyone

I'm new here

I'd love to learn and grow in this space

[placid mural]

hi guys

im new to game dev like pygame

id love to learn lots here so please guide me

[quartz fossil]

Hi, new people. Long story short, pygame for 2D, Panda3D for 3D. 🙂

Ursina is @tranquil girder's opinion on what an abstraction on top of Panda3D should look like.

I'd recommend WECS, as that is my opinion, but it needs a bit more work for prime time.

[tidal obsidian]

Guys should I use unreal engine, godot or unity for game dev?

what type of game is unreal engine good for?

is there anything special about unreal engine that other game engines dont have?

ok what about unity what kind of games is it good for and is there something special about it?

[quartz fossil]

Are you sure that this is the best server to ask about engines that do not even provide Python bindings?

[pine plinth]

bump

[quartz fossil]

Not exactly a typical use case for game engines. Keystrokes and mouse are security-critical, therefore at least under Linux you don't get access to them at all unless your window is focused. You could run a process as root and access them directly, but that's not a use case that e.g. Panda3D would support, nor any other engine that I am aware of. Similarly, it could screenshot its own frame buffers, but accessing the desktop one? I've seen someone use XShm for that.

[pine plinth]

pyautogui can do roughly that
it can send keystrokes regardless of active app, can move mouse and can take screenshots
im not aware of how that works, but i think it is achievable

seems like that is easier than i thought it is
seems like keyboard module can access global keystrokes (without elevated permissions???) and pyautogui can access global screen buffer (also without elevated permissions???) (i guess i should find more suitable module specifically for taking screenshots)

What is your favorite library for making games in python?

[vagrant saddle]

pygame-ce/panda3d

[quartz fossil]

[quartz fossil]

Does pygame have an emoji, so that we can make it a poll?

[rapid crescent]

does anyone here know if the font stuff in pygame works cross platform? i dont have a windows machine to test on and i remember there being some funky stuff with windows fonts, if it matters im using cascadia-code since its monospace, and afaik is installed by default on win 10

[vagrant saddle]

i think you need put the font file in the game folder and load it via full name

so you need to check that the font is licensed for redist, which seems ok there https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code/blob/main/LICENSE

[rapid crescent]

hm, alright thank you :p

[uneven folio]

I'm looking at different python based game frameworks, in particular for 2D games. Which has the best story for exporting to web and mobile? I'm also evaluating Defold but I'd rather use python over Lua, but I really want to be able to easily target mobile and web

[vagrant saddle]

for web including mobile safari 15 you can have pygame-ce, Panda3D and raypyc (raylib ctypes python bindings)

pygame-ce has out of the box multi-touch support https://pygame-web.github.io/showroom/pygame-scripts/org.pygame.touchpong.html

[uneven folio]

What's the difference between pygame-ce and just regular old pygame?

[vagrant saddle]

old pygame does not run on web without manual plumbing

[uneven folio]

I see

And mobile support? Android shouldn't be too hard I guess, tricky one is iOS

I just installed and going through a defold tutorial, looks ok

[vagrant saddle]

android is not hard with python-for-android and for ios web with home screen url is the simplest way

ios devices are very powerfull, they handle wasm just fine

[uneven folio]

Interesting

Also a fan of raylib, that's not a bad option. Panda3D looks pretty cool. I also don't really care for engine editors, that's why I'm evaluating frameworks instead, but Defold looks really solid to be honest, but I use Emacs and already have something setup for Python, I'd have to see what Lua support looks like

What are you working with these days, @vagrant saddle ?

[uneven folio]

I guess you already answered it here

Do you often switch back and forth between the two?

[vagrant saddle]

i'm more onto pygame-ce since i'm the wasm maintener, but Panda3D is going better soon

i don't use raylib

[uneven folio]

Arcade looks pretty cool as well, that's the other one I was checking out. I saw some stuff about using SDL's hardware accelearation, is that still a thing?

[uneven folio]

How come?

[vagrant saddle]

i just ported @spark ether bindings

he may know better for raylib+python web support

[uneven folio]

It's fine, I can just check out pygame. Do you have any thoughts on Arcade?

I can start by making sudoku I guess

[vagrant saddle]

well it may suffer the same problem as raylib when webgpu comes

[uneven folio]

Ah I see

[vagrant saddle]

afaik lots of internals rely on opengl

[uneven folio]

Yeah that's kind of what Defold has going for it. I'll have to evaluate them each for a few days, see which one clicks

Pygame has interactive coding?

[vagrant saddle]

yes

[uneven folio]

As in hot reloading

[vagrant saddle]

Panda3D too

Panda3D on safari 15

Panda3D interactive on android https://pmp-p.github.io/aiodemo_webview.mp4

[uneven folio]

I see, then you said something about a shortcut icon or something, I'm an android user so I'm not familiar with this. Is it a way of converting a website to behave like an iphone app?

Oh nevermind, you just said to create a bookmark, right?

[vagrant saddle]

a bookmark and add something about full screen in the html template

[uneven folio]

Yeah, this looks promising, even though Defold looks nice, I would really rather stay in the Python ecosystem

I don't need yet-another-programming-language I have to work with

Do you have any of your games up on the web that I could check out?

I've actually been using python for game dev but I was using Pyxel, if you've seen it

It has wasm support, I actually have a couple of things I did up on my github

[vagrant saddle]

itch collections in the links

[uneven folio]

Pyxel is really nice, I really like it over using full blown engines like Unity or Godot

But it's too limiting, Pygame looks like Pyxel but much more open

Alright, I'll play around with pygame-ce, thanks for the info @vagrant saddle

[vagrant saddle]

[gloomy vector]

You could set the PYGAME_HIDE_SUPPORT_PROMPT environment variable (either before launching your program, or even in your program with os.environ, just make sure it happens before the import pygame)

[gloomy vector]

If I am importing other files of my own that use pygame too, should I implement that before import pygame?

never mind I just tried that and it worked, thanks!

[white bobcat]

I have some basic code where the player shoots a fireball

but the issue is that the fireballs keeps on flickering?

how can I fix that?

My guess is that its because i update the display twice

def draw(player, elapsed_time):
    SCREEN.blit(BG, (0, 0))

    time_text = FONT.render(f"Elapsed Time: {round(elapsed_time)}s", 1, "black")
    SCREEN.blit(time_text, (30, 30))

    pygame.draw.rect(SCREEN, (24, 38, 33), player)

    pygame.display.update()

...(some code)

def main():
    run = True

    player = pygame.Rect(200, (HEIGHT - 25) - PLAYER_HEIGHT, PLAYER_WIDTH, PLAYER_HEIGHT)
    is_jumping = False
    
    clock = pygame.time.Clock()
    start_time = time.time()
    elapsed_time = 0

    while run:
        clock.tick(144)
        ...(more code)

        if BULLET_STATE == "fired":
            shoot(BULLET_x, BULLET_y)
            BULLET_x += POS_CHANGE
            pygame.display.update()
        
        draw(player, elapsed_time)```

[pine plinth]

you dont have to update display directly after drawing

[white bobcat]

Oh, where should I update the display?

[pine plinth]

in one place instead of two

after you've done all drawing

[white bobcat]

I tried placing it here:

     # Prevent the player from going below the ground
        if player.y >= (HEIGHT - 25) - PLAYER_HEIGHT:
            is_jumping = False
            player.y = (HEIGHT - 25) - PLAYER_HEIGHT

        if BULLET_STATE == "fired":
            if facing == "right":
                shoot(BULLET_x, BULLET_y, facing)
                BULLET_x += POS_CHANGE
            else:
                shoot(BULLET_x, BULLET_y, facing)
                BULLET_x -= POS_CHANGE
        
        draw(player, elapsed_time)
        pygame.display.update()```

but the fireball doesnt show up

i can see everything else though

[pine plinth]

because the first thing draw() function does is clearing screen

[white bobcat]

ohhhhh

hmm

what should I do to fix that

wait

I just moved pygame.display.update() above the draw

and it worked

THANKYOU!

[pine plinth]

not really

now it is drawing half of the stuff in one iteration, and seconds half in next iteration, and the updates screen

it is weird, causes confusion and produces incorrect frames at the beginning and the end of your program

[white bobcat]

oh what can I do to fix it

kinda struggling lol

[pine plinth]

• draw bg
• draw bullet and all other stuff

Hi i use sprites to animate snake and it works great but my implementation a little bit weird. my snake sprites basicly consist of different part of snake each 40x40 size and my method uses basicly handles every case of snake movement and changed some part of snake according. i am using python 3.8 and i realize that this version even do not have match/case statement do you have any genius idea to handle this kinda stuff more efficiently and professional?

  # if animation event happens then i animate snake and apply corresponding texture
  def update(self):
        if not self.animation_lock:

            self.__move()
            self.__apply_texture()

            self.animation_lock = True

...
...
...

    def __apply_texture(self):
        # -- apply texture -- #
        for i in range(len(self.body) - 2, 0, -1):
            prev_segment = self.body[i - 1]
            curr_segment = self.body[i]
            next_segment = self.body[i + 1]
            
           
            if prev_segment.type == 'tail' and next_segment.type == 'head':

                if prev_segment.direction == 'left' and curr_segment.direction == 'horizontal' and next_segment.direction == 'right':
                    curr_segment.direction = 'horizontal'

                elif prev_segment.direction == 'left' and curr_segment.direction == 'horizontal' and next_segment.direction == 'down':
                    curr_segment.direction = 'bottom_left'

                elif prev_segment.direction == 'left' and curr_segment.direction == 'horizontal' and next_segment.direction == 'up':
                    curr_segment.direction = 'top_left'

...
...
...

SnakeBodypart Class has 3 tpye tail, body and head in this case i cannot even count probably there are 16 case to handle just tail and head case which means if the segment is between body and head there are two other cases

[] tail and body
[]body and body

@hollow heron shouldn't second in range statement have temp_list.append(image) ? Could you show output of print(self.animation_list)

[hollow heron]

it does on line 54

[hollow heron]

where should i enter print(self.animation_list)

[mellow imp]

Last line of first in range before you empty temp_list

I think you got an error there by appending self.animation_frames twice, but we'll get there in a sec 🙂

[hollow heron]

this is what i get

[pine plinth]

sepf.animation_list contains tsndom mix of surfaces and lists, and then you are subscripting item of it, which fails because surfaces are not subscriptable

[hollow heron]

how would i solve this

[pine plinth]

dont add surfaces to this list

20/20 i love this type of game

[mellow imp]

Thank you, any suggestions ?

[dawn quiver]

Skin for the player

To add microtransactions and make money (Blizzard Mentality)

[mellow imp]

Big no

[dawn quiver]

I was joking lol

[mellow imp]

I gathered 🙂

[dawn quiver]

@mellow imp i have a question

Is it possible to make a mobile game using python and pygame ?

[mellow imp]

Yes

[dawn quiver]

And how to import it on mobile ? Rn i have a game made for pc on my pc but i can add mobile control, but then how do I import the game to my phone?

[vagrant saddle]

just use pygbag to get a mobile web game

[grand apex]

Anybody got any ideas for a halloween-themed project i could make using pygame?

[marble jewel]

You play the pumpkin-headed rider and have to fight against the demons of mundanity.

How good is PyGame for 2d large tile based worlds

(Top down(

[marble jewel]

it can do infinite tile based worlds just fine

[fading perch]

nbvcxcvbn,;:!

[quartz fossil]

Good enough to be THE choice for 2D games in Python.

[astral pike]

How did you add the cube button up there?

I've been tryna figure

[mellow imp]

Which button? As far as I know theres no buttons in my game 🙂

[shrewd python]

I am trying to rotate my character using the mouse, i managed to get it to work but there is one issue
it doesnt look right
looks slightly off

[lunar venture]

Rotate your sprite 90°deg

[shrewd python]

    def character_rotation(self, x, y):
        mouse_position = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
        x_mouse = mouse_position[0] - x
        y_mouse = - (mouse_position[1] - y)
        angle = math.degrees(math.atan2(y_mouse, x_mouse))
        self.image = pygame.transform.rotate(Shooter.original_shooter,  angle - 90)
        self.rect = self.image.get_rect(center=self.rect.center)

this is what i currently have

the rotations is angle - 90 which is a 90 deg rotation relative to my sprite

[lunar venture]

Do you want the sprite's center to point right at the direction of the mouse?

Then get rid of the - 90

[shrewd python]

Oh shit, you are right

Or wait now its weird again

Its like, when i moved the mouse from the game and went back

it messed up the coordinations or something

[lunar venture]

The problem is you are adding to the current angle some other angle

The actual change in angle should be calculated

[shrewd python]

hmm is this why it gets messed up after i move the character

I realized now thats when it happens

If i move the character, it becomes an issue

[lunar venture]

Instead of pygame.transform.rotate, is there a way to set an angle absolutely?

angle already has a normalized angle probably

Just set the sprite's angle to it

[shrewd python]

set the sprites angle to the mouse angle?

im confused

[lunar venture]

That's what I'm thinking

[shrewd python]

I was hard coding the x,y coordinates for the character in the game loop

forgot to remove them lol
