How do you go down a folder in pygame when trying to load an image? for example the folder you wanna access is not within current working directory but 1 level below it

Im trying to make a prototype of a platformer with a rectangle as the charecter but the jumping is way too jittery if someone could help that would be great

How do you go down a folder in pygame when trying to load an image? for example ...
Just the folder name and the image name separated by a forward slash and in quotes if you want to use a string as the path
Or pathlib or os.path.join(), just the folder name and the image name

But thx for helping. It made me remember this actually

Ahh cool
Also do you know how to do the same thing but for imports? Like importing from a lower level
Outside of cwd

I learned some os.path.join() from a Clear Code tutorial, it's really nice for these paths actually

You mean to import from lower folders?

Yeah
limber veldt
Just list the folders separated by .

It's repeatedly reading many keypresses when you hit space and thus jumping as fast as the framerate
limber veldt
here is the link to the github page: https://github.com/Laughattack7339/all_thin...
I made a couple of small changes, just suggestions, but this gives a little better jump https://paste.pythondiscord.com/M4SA

Oh no wonder I didn't have the problem. I used mouse press to jump cuz I ran it on my tablet (touch screen) 💀
limber veldt
Basically, I only capped the framerate at 60 per second and used the event loop to read the space key being pressed down instead of get_pressed() which reads keys being held down
So no matter how fast you press and release a key, get_pressed() will read a press for every frame and at 60 frames per second, that's a lot of jumping = True essentially
Hmm, I'm not sure how to read touchscreens with pygame

Guys, I'm having a funny error while raycasting some rays...
cosmic olive
Hmm, I'm not sure how to read touchscreens with pygame
For touch you have can use the regular mouse inputs but it only takes 1 touch at a time when you do this. And what I mean is you can't use multiple fingers with mouse inputs since you can only click a mouse once. The better alternative is to use finger events like finger down/up or finger motions. There is no finger get pressed() command outside of the event loop it seems tho. (But atleast you can get multiple fingers)

I was meaned for starting creating gamees
pine smelt
i mean i started and would recommend starting in pygame
but u gotta realise that its not a "game engine"
at least to the level of unity
many of the features that normally u can just click and drag into ur game, u need to make from scratch
physics being a notable example
on the flipside that means u have direct access to handling or changing code or memory as u see fit
proper peak
I agree that pygame and unity are very different kinds of thing, though because of unity's shit i'd recommend godot instead of it.
pine smelt
true ye
godot has pretty pythonic syntax asw right
the switchover shouldnt be too bad compared to c#
normal silo
I was meaned for starting creating gamees
You can start making games without any libraries (in your terminal).
You are going to have to be more specific about the type of game for a better answer.
pine smelt
i would assume he means actual graphical games if he specified pygame or unity

Anyone had any issues with 2D games and shooting a projectile where it seems to snap to specific angle rather than have full 360 degrees of rotation?

pine smelt
very much working ray caster in python 👍
That's rly cool
Can I ask what the difference between the green and red lines are
twin tendon
Can I ask what the difference between the green and red lines are
green lines represent hitting a horizontal point of a wall in the grid and red ones represent the vertical point
pine smelt
Oh makes sense
twin tendon
then u pick the shortest one, and if u cast like 60 of them u can project them with rectangles and create a basic 3d scene
twin tendon
to put it in another way, green lines have some complicated shit for the X offset, and to check the next row for walls it just adds 100 because thats the wall offset
i mean grid
pine smelt
ah OK makes sense
twin tendon
Oh so is a "wall" just a bunch of little vertical rectangles
oh that yea
pine smelt
Cool stuff
twin tendon
but in my version the rays sometimes dissapear for some reason at certain angles

Well to access the rect of your class instance, instead of squares.rect, use square.rect within the event loop.
For detecting collision with the mouse, you can use the collidepoint method of the rect object.
And try this code :
if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
if square.rect.collidepoint(mouse_pos):
print("Collision detected with mouse!")
Just to be sure for work will be printed in console "Collision detected with mouse! " Just to test if work

i got a player and shop class able to work with each other after some time
grave inlet
Like when can a player use it
i havent implemented it but i plan on maybe having like a sequence of inputs to get there like for example:
Main Actions:
1 Explore
2 Inventory
3 Quit
then if player pick explore itll have another options
Explore:
1 Town
2 Beach
3 Forest
then if player chooses town another options appear such as
Town:
1 Shop
2 Quest Board
3 Armory
then ect ect untill the player gets to the shop then the shop options would have more options
Shop:
1 buy
2 sell
i dont know if that answers your question but thats how i understanded it xD

O ok
Gl hardcoding all of that logic lol

how would one go about making a pygbag game into a multiplayer HTML5 game? as in a multiplayer turn based game
proper peak
I'd start by adding something like a requests.get("some server that I have") to the pygame code and testing whether my server gets these requests when I run the game (because it might be that the way pygbag packages games disallows that).
If this works, then, well, implement multiplayer whatever way you want.
honest drift
yeah, I'mm unsure if pygbag would support because it html5 nature, websockets I guess
thanks sorry
looking for a thread to pull
proper peak
I was thinking of websockets too. I figure if you can make a basic GET request you can probably make a websocket connection too, but you could test specifically a websocket connection to be sure.

It was an indentation 😭
So it didn't override the super().draw() method which indeed takes two args and is why that particular error message

not really, about the same. doing slots=True to make it a slotted class gets you some small performance gains.

doesnt "normal" class need like pickle or somethin to save
pine smelt
u can pickle classes??
ive always just saved the attributes as json and reinitalised it
proper peak
depends on what you mean by "need". saving a dataclass instance as json works the same way as saving a normal one - you convert it to a dict first. dataclasses just have a handy method for that.
grave inlet
yeah i used it to save my inventory filled with classes
pine smelt
cool
proper peak
personally I never use pickle because I tend to write my data structures in such a way they can be easily dumped to JSON, and JSON is human-readable and not a massive security (and correctness) risk
pine smelt
wdym by correctness risk
proper peak
wdym by correctness risk
pickling a class instance pickles the class, too. Meaning if you use pickle to store saves, and you load a save from the old version of the game, it'll be an instance of the old version of this class. Good luck figuring out why you are still getting bugs you fixed several versions ago 🙂
pine smelt
ah makes sense ye
grave inlet
thats usefull to know
pine smelt
is there ever an instance pickling is more efficient or better to use over json
json just seems leagues easier and better
proper peak
picking is faster, funnily enough. not by a lot, and only when using the builtin json and not a faster library.
not sure why
pine smelt
oh
proper peak
my suggestion for saves is "zipped json". non-zipped is fine too if your saves are small. (Looking at you Egosoft - if your saves are 500MB of XML, use compression! 😩)
pine smelt
thx for the info 👍 ill look into that next time i need to save stuff

I've made a game using pygame and I have a file classes.py with all my classes.
How can I generate a class diagram automatically?? Is there any way??
limber veldt
I have a pickle save method but it's just saving what is basically a class with a dict of data
Things like sprite position, rotation, room

I've made a game using pygame and I have a file classes.py with all my classes.

whats a class diagram?
limber veldt
And the load reads that and re-instances according to those attributes

can you send me a DM? so I can show you an example of a class diagram

Pycharm Professional can show the class diagram for a class. Otherwise, there's some tools like pyreverse.

Yo guys, i need to make a car racing game(2d) with python but i never used pygame. Do you guys have sources that i can use so i can build a game like that. I only have a week to make it:(
pine smelt
uhh
do u have any experience at all with python
also how complex does it need to be
chrome pewter

I almost learned every basic

at this rate your only chance is to youtube pygame tutorials

That entire Nature of Code series is great, even though not in python, the logic (and his whiteboards) is great
Probably not really beginner python projects though, since they're in java or js

thought id have a bit of a fun with this so its definitely not a beginner project per say, nor finished for that matter but i made this quickly
theres no camera boundaries or offsets but works as a proof of concept of whats possible?

even in command promt
its like a certain point where it glitches out

alr
my code is going well
im going to make the story line later
but how to make italics?
and the type writer effect
grave inlet
but how to make italics?
print("\033[3m'Sentence In Here'\033[0m")
the random giberish in the left side is what makes it italic and the right side is what resets it
but what you have to change is just the 'Sentence In Here' and you should be good
barren topaz
print("\033[3m'Sentence In Here'\033[0m")
alright thanks
pine smelt
its like a certain point where it glitches out
oh thats really weird is it just a normal while loop
pine smelt
and the type writer effect
my guess is using the end="\r" parameter in print functions and keeping a timer for the current letter ur on
tho idk how Christian implemented it
text = "This is a sentence."
t = 0
speed = 0.001
while t < len(text)+1:
print(text[:int(t)], end="\r")
t += speed
print()
this works but i dont think it's that robust
barren topaz
alright
grave inlet
oh thats really weird is it just a normal while loop
yeah
for i in range (0,50):
print(" ")
this is a class that makes a type writer effect, the way to use it is
EnhanceDialogue(text="Your Sentence",
color=EnhanceDialogue.green, # The EnhancedDialogue.green is kinda like my own colorama.fore.
speed=0.02, # Controll the speed with this variable.
rainbow=True # Just a silly addition .
)
a little far off
yeah, i dont really know how to make a buffer/delay

you could put it in a separate file and use the import

you could also do that

i have to use import sys,time, os
so you kinda just import the file by using the file name
pine smelt
create another file in the same directory

i have to download the file tho right?
grave inlet
yep
barren topaz
alright

the one u created earlier
which one
the one christian sent me?
i have no idea about this but ig check your venv?
cuz thats what happened to me
pine smelt
this one
barren topaz
alright
pine smelt
in ur main.py
after u import os
put this line
os.chdir(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
barren topaz
i didnt import os tho
pine smelt
oh import os then
pine smelt
im so confused ur file layout is very complicated

this is kinda the simple version of importing for future reference

i might switch if i can have anime girls in it though ||joking||
pine smelt

demnn

what do you mean?

no
grave inlet
now im confuse
pine smelt
ohh

do you need like a typewriter effect for pygame?
pine smelt
now that i can provide
grave inlet
yep im just the terminal guy lmao
barren topaz
do you need like a typewriter effect for pygame?
i dont need it for pygame i need pygame for typewriter lol
barren topaz
choose your adventure game

i want to create a type writer effect in my choose your adventure game
barren topaz
yes
barren topaz
terminal
grave inlet
oh
the code i provided is a typewriter effect but i could make it simpler so it legit is just the type writer effect if you want
barren topaz
yeee
grave inlet
aight

why did he need pygame then

ohh ok
barren topaz
yeaa

i think i kinda zoned out, did u end up getting what u wanted lol
not yet
christian is writing the code rn ig?
pine smelt
i mean
grave inlet
Well writing isnt really the best way to put it
pine smelt
ye
grave inlet
Even vs code just crashed
pine smelt
bruh what happened
grave inlet
No clue
barren topaz
damn
grave inlet
Restarting it
barren topaz
dats crazy
pine smelt
ill give a shot at editing the code in the meantime
is it in the pastebin link u sent
pine smelt
simplify it in terms of
barren topaz
alright
pine smelt
commenting it or optimising it or?
grave inlet
Removing unnecessary stuff such as the rainbow function, color function, and only leaving the type writer function since its the only thing he needs
pine smelt
understood
oh i think that was it
import time
class EnhanceDialogue:
def __init__(self,text:str,speed=0.1) -> None:
self.text = text
self.speed = speed
self.print_input()
def print_input(self):
for char in self.text:
print(char,end='',sep='',flush= True)
time.sleep(self.speed)
EnhanceDialogue(text="Your Sentence",
speed=0.02, # Controll the speed with this variable
)
eh mine's pretty close i cut it down to this
import time
def __init__(self, text: str, color=red, speed=0.1, ):
self.text = text
self.color = color
self.speed = speed
💀
grave inlet
Uh
That doesnt really give a typewriter effect i dont think
Nor does it print anything
barren topaz
That doesnt really give a typewriter effect i dont think
yea i know now
i just said it was close
grave inlet
Well maybe like a couple letters you coulda gotten jt
grave inlet
```python

Also i think thid is it
grave inlet
So you see when you import it you have to use it like
Example if the file name imported is
Cool_Dialogue.py
import Cool_Dialogue
Cool_Dialogue.EnhanceDialogue("Cool Messege")
imo i would use from just to save myself typing it so many times
barren topaz
So you see when you import it you have to use it like
Example if the file name ...
alright thanks
barren topaz
imo i would use from just to save myself typing it so many times
what do u mean?
pine smelt
from Cool_Dialogue import EnhanceDialogue
EnhanceDiaologue("Cool Message")
EnhanceDiaologue("Another Cool Message")
compared to
grave inlet
Yeah that one too works and easier
barren topaz
```python
from Cool_Dialogue import EnhanceDialogue
EnhanceDiaologue("Cool Mess...
ah that is easier
grave inlet
Unless you have like a big module
barren topaz
```python
from Cool_Dialogue import EnhanceDialogue
EnhanceDiaologue("Cool Mess...
what about print and input?
grave inlet
Doesnt need one
pine smelt
ye its in the class already
grave inlet
Yeah already implemented for you
grave inlet
Is that the original module?
pine smelt
its cuz Enhanced Diaologue basically just prints stuff with the typewriter effect
so when u do
grave inlet
Also you could just put the name inside of a {name} like {fore.cyan} so you dont have multiple string
pine smelt
name = EnchantedDiaologue(...)
name doesnt have any text in it
barren topaz
name = EnchantedDiaologue(...)
name doesnt have any text in it
ahh
barren topaz
Also you could just put the name inside of a {name} like {fore.cyan} so you dont...
alright
grave inlet
Oh wait you tried to use it as an input
barren topaz
what about the color part?
grave inlet
There is a built in function (if youre using an original) that lets you pick a color
pine smelt
.
grave inlet
it isnt shwoing
Use EnhanceDialogue("text here",Fore.CYAN)
barren topaz
it isnt shwoing
but what bout the your sentence?
grave inlet
Try
barren topaz
but what bout the your sentence?
its shwoing at the start
barren topaz
You should just do
Print(fore.cyan)
EnhanceDialogue("some funny")
fore.cyan in that bracket?
pine smelt
hes gonna get the same error i think
barren topaz
or {}
grave inlet
No need
grave inlet
Well making it was kinda hard
barren topaz
hmhm
pine smelt
im predicting TypeError

What happend
what you told me to do?

knotty marsh
hey there, looking to start a new project based on a drag racing game. I'd like to use this proof of concept: https://www.reddit.com/r/pygame/comments/1277t1x/had_an_idea_for_a_game_involving_drag_racing_with/ . But, I'm not sure where to start with all the physics. I understand physics well, but how can I create an accurate model to work out speed in MPH from RPM, gear, HP, torque, grip etc...? Any ideas? Thanks.
pine smelt
how realistic do u want it
also what perspective
like those arcade games or old topdown mario kart
or a pseudo 3d thing like the proof of concept thing i sent a few days ago
knotty marsh
how realistic do u want it
as close as i can get it, somewhat like 'AngeTheGreat' engine simulator
but rather than simulating the engine, taking those values and making it into a drag racing game.
Also the perspective will be similar to 'pixel car racer'
appreciate the reply @pine smelt means a lot
pine smelt
no worries
pine smelt
Also the perspective will be similar to 'pixel car racer'
oh thats very doable
graphics wise it helps that its pretty much completely flat
the physics hm
ok well ig first step is decomposition as with most things
knotty marsh
graphics wise it helps that its pretty much completely flat
ya, the physics is the main part of the game
pine smelt
ye
specifically what would physics entail then
first obvious is gravity and friction
then based off the AngeTheGreat sim u mentioned
pine smelt
ye
i wont lie i dont know much about cars in general but
i think first off is just making a physics based body
probably a rigid body than soft
then adding wheel objects attached to it that experiences its own forces
knotty marsh
quick q, do you think it's possible in pygame
pine smelt
then car relations such as HP, torque, RPM, grip, gear ratios etc
then beginning to link up all of these values in a way that the entire body's math takes it all into account by itself
pine smelt
quick q, do you think it's possible in pygame
ye defo
will be harder than say using unity and c++
knotty marsh
i didnt really wanna use a sep engine
pine smelt
but POSSIBLE yes
knotty marsh
just pygame and vsc
pine smelt
fair enuf ye
u might need to sacrifice complete realism at some point due to how intensive calculations can be in python
but its definitely worth a shot
knotty marsh
u might need to sacrifice complete realism at some point due to how intensive ca...
yea
knotty marsh
idek where to start with the physics calculations.
i mean, i have one useful one
for cars in general, not physics
Torque = (HP x 5252) / RPM
but then again, I need to be able to find out much more from this
well, I guess i could work out general force using F = Torque x gear ratio / tire radius
then use this to find acceleration due to f = ma
im just processing my thoughts lmao
pine smelt
do you know how u normally apply acceleration and stuff in pygame
pine smelt
i mean pretty much but when applying it to code its euler-cromar integration
velocity += acceleration * deltatime
position += velocity * deltatime
knotty marsh
dt great
pine smelt
ye
tho
for games thats usually just
the time taken between each frame
its more for "framerate independence", having the game run at the same speed even at different fps's
knotty marsh
how would i even integrate dt into pygame
pine smelt
velocity += acceleration * deltatime
position += velocity * deltatime
with this basically
when u apply any force as a vector
just multiply it by that deltatime
knotty marsh
i meant finding dt due to framerate
obviously the game will not run at the same speed at different fps's if a constant is used
ig u could have ur FPS as a var
1/fps = dt i guess
pine smelt
Sry I was busy
pine smelt
1/fps = dt i guess
That's very inconsistent
The time between each frame can vary very slightly
I usually just
It's very simplistic but have a temporary var of the time last frame
And finding the difference to the current time
Then updating the last frame time every time
knotty marsh
makes sense

There we go
pine smelt
also sry my slight ocd couldnt take ur code presentation
import pygame
pygame.init()
import time
width, height = 1000, 600
screen = pygame.display.set_mode ((width, height))
running = True
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
background = pygame.image.load('testing_back.png').convert_alpha()
question_block = pygame.image.load("question_block.png").convert_alpha()
question_rect = question_block.get_rect(midbottom=(442, 369))
player_image = pygame.image.load("robo_cycle.png").convert_alpha()
player_image.set_colorkey((0, 0, 0))
player_rect = player_image.get_rect(midbottom=(442, 492))
jumping = False
jump_key_pressed = False
gravity = 1
jump_height = 20
velocity = jump_height
while running:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
running = False
elif event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
if event.key == pygame.K_SPACE and not jumping:
jumping = True
print(player_rect.bottom)
print(jumping)
screen.blit(background, (0, 0))
if jumping:
player_rect.y -= velocity
velocity -= gravity
if velocity < -jump_height:
velocity = jump_height
jumping = False
screen.blit(question_block, question_rect)
screen.blit(player_image, player_rect)
pygame.display.flip()
clock.tick(60)
pygame.quit()
also use .convert_alpha() EVERY time u load an image, thats what was causing the major lag

I've had projects where the difference was a lot, so yeah
