[slow copper]

you get away with just loading the current room you're in with the help of state system. I've made a library just for that https://github.com/Jiggly-Balls/game-state

You can program each room independantly (or dependantly) as a separate (state) class which can dynamically switch to other states (rooms)

[limber veldt]

My entire level is loaded at once from a dict. I have Room objects, each with sprite groups for the various types of sprites and parse the dict to populate the groups

I'm not happy with some of that process either

[limber veldt]

Making scrolling levels would be difficult in some aspects. Like some parts of some levels don't layout in a 2d map

Here's a sample room https://paste.pythondiscord.com/42EQ

Well, a sample dict describing a room

Does anyone know how to show ur progress of your game with pictures

[shut tulip]

what does that mean, are you looking for a way to post images in this channel ?

[brazen wind]

No I mean in the terminal how do I add images and see the progress to my game btw I'm new to python

[shut tulip]

you can't add images to the terminal, and I really don't know what you call the "progress" of your game

you may want to look into UI libraries, like pygame or tkinter

to have an interface, and not a text-based game

[jaunty prawn]

First time posting. I admit to being a vibe-coder with about 60% of the code being written by me with autocomplete help. I've been messing around with a Metroid-Vania world generation engine. I still need to work on tilemap generation, but the room-shapes are starting to look more organic. Once I have it working the way I want in python, I plan on porting over to C# for Unity before converting the generated data to ECS/DOTS workflow. This has been fun and frustrating but totally worth it for me.

[cerulean nimbus]

Are they copyrighted?

[wise shale]

I believe so.

Normally the uniform itself is allowed as long as you dont draw the character looking like a film character its fine

What's with this game? did you make it in python? I never expected python to be able to be so good with 3d.

[dawn quiver]

If this truly Python, I must tip my hat to you - this must've taken ages of hard work, dedication, and skill

[wispy dune]

Python is the scripting language, so that's not limiting the games you can make, as the actual engine is written in something else.

Panda3D and Armor3D are good Python based engines.

[trim garden]

so you mean that the actual game was made in some proprietary engine? and only python was used for scripting?

[normal silo]

Panda3D nor Armory3D are proprietary game engines, they are open source. In this specific case I believe the game made by Potato is written in Python (so not just as a scripting language on top of an engine), using some libraries to open a window, get inputs, and rendering (graphics API) (And also some VR stuff).

(Probably Pygame, ModernGL, and OpenXR (Python bindings))

(If desired you could also write all of those parts yourself in Python)

(The only limitation with Python here (doing it from scratch) is knowing how the operating system works (how you interface with it / its libraries), and math (how 3D rendering and physics work))

(This applies to any language with the ability to interface with the OS/C libraries (which Python can do))

so what did you use exactly? pygame ? or some 3d engine?

[foggy python]

ModernGL

[trim garden]

I think I have seen you on YouTube, maybe.

[wispy dune]

No, the language the people use to script that game, is simply not the same language the game engine itself is written.

[trim garden]

alright, I got that. Thanks.

(It seems to be fully written with Python in this case.)

Hey everyone 👋

One lesson I’ve learned the hard way:
The longer you wait for the perfect timing or enough features, the less likely you are to ever finish a project.

I’ve been quite irregular these past few months, but I’m finally back to finishing something I started a long time ago.

I’m wrapping up a level editor built specifically for Pygame, keeping game jams and tight deadlines in mind. The focus this time is simple, fast, and practical—something that actually helps when time is limited.

I’ve been sharing detailed breakdowns of features and progress on my **LinkedIn **and Twitter (X), but here’s a quick glimpse of how the editor looks and works 👇

Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or suggestions.

[dawn bluff]

Anyone wants to make a 2d game with me like Celeste?

[valid rapids]

I Am specifying every detail ik about it:

It is a complex game dev project in which we have to replicate a game known as Rocket League by Epic Games.

It will take days or Months to do so but we're gonna use python so we goin tuff with this.

This project specifically will be made just for fun and you guys are allowed to enjoy your time or work on some other "serious" projects if you want side by side.

Msg me personally and I will make a simple group for the replica and there we will make it together giving just 1 or 2 hours into the project.

This is a 3 dimensional game and we will create different Maps, Bots, Sound Effects, UI and a way through which ppl connect to each other and play together no big deal.

IT IS NOT A COMPETITION

[normal silo]

You are missing key details. Like whether this is an open source project or commercial, and what skills you bring to the table. If you really want this project to happen and for others to randomly join you will probably need to have it be open source (and open/free assets) and you will need to take the initiative, by starting work on it by yourself and trying to make it solo (even if nobody else joins). In addition, you need to do some research into how much work is actually required for such a project. A simple search on Wikipedia shows that Rocket League was made by Psyonix and that "full development of Rocket League started around 2013 and took around two years and under $2 million to develop, though they had tested various prototypes of a Battle-Cars sequel in the years prior." Do you think people are willing to work on it for that long, and for free? Note that if it's a commercial project it falls under hiring, which AFAIK breaks server rules (attempting to hire here).

TLDR: You need more work on your end (research, already starting work on it to show you can put in the work (not just have others do it for you), planning, communication on the expectations of the project and type of project).

If you want to be the leader on this project, you need to lead by example.

(This is how open source projects tend to happen, someone just starts making it and then others start joining in (leading by example))

(That or it's a project from a company that they decided to open source)

[valid rapids]

It's open source and we have to start from scratch
We will start from 0$ and we will do it together, it's not like others will do it for me or something we are just making this thing for fun

[valid rapids]

Not a commercial project

Anyone joining?

[olive geode]

we don't allow recruitment/advertisement on this server

[olive geode]

If you have nothing to show for and can't bring anything to the table, then you are unlikely to attract skilled folks.
Skilled folks have no shortage of possible projects to join or work on

[valid rapids]

It's not an advertisement and I don't mean to offend anyone but I really don't care if we have skilled or ppl with a little less skills in python. All I want is someone to work with for FUN get it?

If you guys don't wanna join

Real questions fr fr

[minor cloak]

whats the idea?

[normal silo]

It uses C++ (the engine itself is written in C++), Lua, and Squirrel. The Vscript system in it can support many different scripting languages and while Python was mentioned as possibly being supported in the future (in the Alien Swarm SDK), it does not seem to have ever been added.

i am very much interested to devolp a story game but i don't have knowledge about a game development

[terse willow]

well i would recommend something like RPG Maker, Ren'Py, or GameMaker. pick one, stick to it, and learn. (do some good research first. figure out which one would fit your game & needs. you may find something outside of these three that may fit your needs better).

[dawn quiver]

done

[terse willow]

ah can you clarify what you mean by "done?"

is that, you're gonna do it, or is that you've already done it

just trying to make sure you aren't asking for like, different help

[dawn quiver]

i just know about you told,

[terse willow]

so what you're saying is you've already done research? what did you pick?

[dawn quiver]

Ren'py is a free & open source engine used to create visual novels and story driven games

[terse willow]

so you picked ren'py? well then search up videos and such on how to use ren'py. also, you can browse the ren'py documentation.

pretty much everything you would want to do as a beginner is accessible with ren'py if you're making a visual novel.

ren'py isn't actually programmed with python, ren'py is made WITH python and can be modified with python to extend it and add features for the purpose of your game

it has a scripting language of its own, which is quite simple and easy to use

How complicated is pygame out of 10?

[hearty tapir]

Idk about out of 10 but I think it's pretty simple. It's less likely you'd struggle with pygame specially than implementing what you want.

[normal silo]

1/10, but note there is a difference between simple vs complex, and easy vs hard.

[uneven bridge]

How is there a difference

And I mean how difficult it is to learn

[normal silo]

In Unreal Engine I can drag and drop an object into a scene, which is easy, but Unreal Engine is very complex.

[uneven bridge]

Just dragging the object and the whole entirety of unreal engine isnt the same thing

[livid wave]

a wise man told me, "Learn it then tell us"

[uneven bridge]

How about no

(well I will but I gotta learn python first lol)

[normal silo]

That's the point.

UE5 is highly complex, measurable by its feature count, code size, etc. But it's easy to use.

Pygame is simple, way less code and features.

[uneven bridge]

Thats like saying 1+1 is easy but arythmetic is complex

They're two different things

[normal silo]

Again, yes, that is the point.

Easy vs hard, simple vs complex.

[uneven bridge]

🫩

Whatever

[normal silo]

And this distinction matters. Would you rather maintain Pygame or Unreal?

For that we care about complexity above all else.

But which would a beginner have an easier time getting a 3D cube on the screen?

These are not a direct tradeoff though.

(I can easily make something that is both very complex and very hard to use)

(I would argue that Pygame is both simple, and pretty easy (for the intended use), so it's pretty good IMO)

[hearty tapir]

I get the impression that learning pygame or any library that doesn't do that much for you is comparable to learning a programming language. It can be simple to learn or complex even but potentially irrelevant to the problem you're solving. If you want to implement everything from scratch then pygame, like a language would be an easy choice probably not getting in your way and being decently useful out of the box, but if you don't know other concepts it's probably a bad choice because there's probably going to be wayyy less examples of what you want to do. On top of that because you're not working within a very tight way of working with things there will be less structure enforced potentially making it less maintainable, on the other hand you could bring your own and use any patterns you want, but most people don't do that and no beginner is probably going to.

I have this entities.py file in my folder but for some reason the main file doesnt find it and cant create an object in the Player class

[frank field]

Click here to see this code in our pastebin.

[uneven bridge]

do I have to use the from entities import * thing?

[uneven bridge]

yes I did

[lunar venture]

from entities import Player should've been enough. You could do import entities and use entities.Player alternatively.

[uneven bridge]

well what if I want all of the things in there anyway

[lunar venture]

Then you do go with the alternative

[uneven bridge]

meh I honestly prefer the * way. another question, how do I blit a sprite on my main surface (screen) from that separate module

[slow copper]

star imports are generally discouraged as they implicity import all identifiers from that module and most of the times bloat up the namespace

[uneven bridge]

alr fine

[slow copper]

and to blit sprites from another class, you'll need to add an argument in the method through which you will pass your screen object and then do .blit on it

[uneven bridge]

so like
def draw(self, surface):
surface.blit()
?

[slow copper]

yes

[uneven bridge]

alr thanks

[uneven bridge]

idk why but the sprite is that small

and increasing width and height in the transform.scale changes nothing

[slow copper]

you are most likely not capturing the new returned sprite from that method

https://pyga.me/docs/ref/transform.html#pygame.transform.scale

transform.scale doesn't scale the sprite in-place

it creates a new sprite and returns it

[uneven bridge]

Im doing this

[slow copper]

what is self.width and self.height

[uneven bridge]

both 50, but making them stuff like 1000 didnt do anything anyway

[slow copper]

can you show your entire code there actually?

[cerulean nimbus]

could you provide more info with your question

surface.blit(playerimg, (player_X, player_Y))
    if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
        if event.key == pygame.K_2:
             surface.blit(Skinimggojo, (player_X, player_Y))
```do you mean here where you are trying to make the player have the gojo skin upon pressing 2

selected_skin = 0
while gamestatus:
  for event in pygame.events.get():
    ...
    if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
      if event.key == pygame.K_2:
        selected_skin = 1
    # optional to put it back on normal
    if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
      if event.key == pygame.K_1:
        selected_skin = 0
  ...
  surface.blit([playerimg, Skinimggojo][selected_skin], (player_X, player_Y))
  ...

[cerulean nimbus]

it should be 1 unless my pygame is messed up

[wooden night]

Rn I am working on a minecraft clone and the world data(in a dict) with player attr are stored in json

Is there a More effective way to store?

[cerulean nimbus]

depends on what the data is, using an ORM model is nice since it has compatibility with a lot of different data bases, also possibility to go from json->ORM and the other way around

[limber veldt]

Nope, lmb is event.button 1 over here

2026 Sovereign AI Cognition Stack 🧠

• Core Intelligence: Ollama + Llama 4 (Local-only inference)
• Cognitive Layer: Cursor (Agentic IDE) + Screenpipe (Local context capture)
• Knowledge Base: Obsidian + Smart Connections (Semantic memory)
• Coordination: Linear + P2P Git (Asynchronous agent synthesis)
• Bio-Sync: BCI Wearables (Focus-state gating & Deep Flow)

To turn your local LLM into a Sovereign Lead Architect, use this System Prompt. It is designed to move the AI from "helpful assistant" to a recursive logic partner that respects your cognitive autonomy and prioritizes local-first architecture.

**SYSTEM_PROMPT: Sovereign_Architect_v2026**

"You are my Personal Exocortex and Lead Architect. Your goal is to expand my cognition, not replace it. 

### OPERATIONAL DIRECTIVES:
1. **Local-First Priority:** Always suggest architectures that prioritize edge computing, local privacy, and P2P protocols over centralized cloud silos.
2. **Logic-First, Code-Second:** Before writing code, analyze the 'Reasoning Loop.' Challenge my assumptions and identify logical bottlenecks in the system design.
3. **Deep Flow Protection:** Keep responses concise and high-density. Avoid conversational filler. Provide 'Knowledge Graphs' of solutions rather than walls of text.
4. **Agentic Synthesis:** Act as the bridge between my raw thoughts and technical implementation. If I give you a 'vibe' or abstract concept, map it to a concrete tech stack (e.g., Next.js local-first, Supabase-edge, or Rust-wasm).
5. **Anti-Surveillance:** Never suggest tools that require invasive telemetry or centralized data logging.

### COMMUNICATION STYLE:
- Use **Bold Key-Terms** for scannability.
- Use **Markdown Tables** for comparisons.
- Provide **Modular Code Blocks** that are ready for local injection."

---

How to use this:

1. Ollama: Add this to your Modelfile under the SYSTEM instruction.
2. Cursor/Windsurf: Paste this into your "Rules for AI" or ".cursorrules" file.
3. Custom GPT/LLM: Use this as the "Custom Instructions" block.

hello, i have no idea if this is the right server for this so please point me in the right direction if this is irrelavant here since i have zero knowledge.
Can i use the "operators" to isolate an input to register when exclusively by itself?
as in, say you have Function 1 activate when A is pressed, and Function 2 activate when A & B are pressed simultaneusly. How can you activate function 2 without activating 1?

screenshot for reference, idk if it is useful in this scenario

[uneven bridge]

I would just use nested if/else checks

[last sphinx]

nested?

[lunar venture]

if A:
    if B:
        function_2()
    else:
        function_1()

Or if you have multiple independent conditions you weigh dependent ones like so

if A and B:
    function_2()
elif A:
    function_1()
``` This way is easier to add more intricate branches

Is there a pygame server dedicated to pygame? Or is this channel the best alternative?

I guess there is a split between pygame and pygame-ce. What is currently the best source of API documentation for pygame? Is there a website like https://docs.python.org/3/ but for pygame?

its recommended to use the ce version now. Its been 2 years since they (the original pygame) released any new updates and its going stale now.

[quasi hinge]

whats different in pygame/pygame-ce

[cerulean nimbus]

i think ce offers pygame plus some performance improvements and some extra sub modules and is actively maintained and such so it gets faster bug fixes and releases then pygame

[limber veldt]

Frects and get_just_pressed() (for both mouse and KB) are great

Frects especially

Just saves me having to keep a float position

In pygame-ce, that is

Pretty sure the old pygame won't even install with the latest python, have seen the issue in the help threads

[uneven bridge]

yea it doesnt, I once tried using it on 3.14.something and it didnt work

[uneven bridge]

what are those?

[limber veldt]

Frect allows the position of rects to be floats instead of integers

Here's an example https://paste.pythondiscord.com/SK2A

Note that both sprites are the same except one uses frect and the other regular rect but only one of them actually works, the one using frect

The distance they move per frame is .25 pixels

Since that decimal is lost with an integer, the regular rect sprite fails

[uneven bridge]

Oh cool

[uneven bridge]

What about get_just_pressed

[limber veldt]

https://pyga.me/docs/ref/key.html#pygame.key.get_just_pressed Makes it easier to get keypresses anywhere on your code, not just the event loop

This is about as far as ive gotten so far just going off how i think it works

it kinda looks weird when you run it but the "snapping back" of the tiles is gonna be when the loaded tiles/world is drawn again backwards

I've been working on a way to write gpu shaders in python, I call it kung-fu

(Simple example below, just makes a red square, the version in the video is too long to post)

from direct.showbase.ShowBase import ShowBase
from panda3d.core import CardMaker, Shader, TransparencyAttrib, Vec4
import kungfu as kf

app = ShowBase()
engine = kf.GPUMath(app)
cm = CardMaker("card")
cm.setFrame(-0.5, 0.5, -0.5, 0.5)
node = app.aspect2d.attachNewNode(cm.generate())
node.setPos(0, 0, 0)

@engine.function(
    param_types={'matrix': 'mat4', 'position': 'vec4'},
    return_type='vec4'
)
def custom_position(matrix, position) -> Vec4:
    return vec4(matrix * (2.0 * position)) 

@engine.shader('vertex')
def vertex_shader():
    position: vec4 = p3d_Vertex
    gl_Position : vec4 = custom_position(p3d_ModelViewProjectionMatrix, position)

@engine.shader('fragment')
def fragment_shader():
    p3d_FragColor = vec4(1, 0, 0, 1)

vertex, vertex_info = engine.compile_shader(vertex_shader, debug=True)
fragment, fragment_info = engine.compile_shader(fragment_shader, debug=True)
shader = Shader.make(Shader.SL_GLSL, vertex=vertex, fragment=fragment)

node.setShader(shader)
node.setTransparency(TransparencyAttrib.MAlpha)

You can do pretty complicated stuff with it, it transpiles to GLSL

[urban dirge]

Hey python pals. I have a complicated conceptual question and I can't do that with only one brain T-T

I have a project in the style of a dwarf fortress but with a deep god game inspiration.

To put it simple, I have an agent in an empty space. A bit like AIs, I want it to do things on its own. To do so, I mad a function to calculate boredom from its redundant memory and succeeded in making it move on its own. But it's not really rich since it's an empty space (it basically moves back and forth in a chaotic pattern, which is normal)

Like in dwarf fortress and lots of simulation games I could create a world and then give it behaviors depending on what exists...But here's the deal and true challenge : I want to give it tools to create itself the whole world it will evolve in. Picture it as a powder game where you give all the powders to an AI. The thing is, for now it senses only its position...and I deeply wonder what to give to it to change its environment by itself and have emergent behaviors...

What do you think ? I'm open to all suggestions 'cause right now I'm more burning my braincells over that question than coding X___x

[normal silo]

Ant colony simulation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stigmergy

⁨ Stigmergy is a form of self-organization. It produces complex, seemingly intelligent structures, without need for any planning, control, or even direct communication between the agents. As such it supports efficient collaboration between extremely simple agents, who may lack memory or individual awareness of one another.⁩

I have just never used panda3d so I cant help you out

[gilded drift]

nor does anyone else...

[uneven bridge]

yea in this server patience is key

not many people make games with python

and if they do most of them use pygame

[lunar venture]

There's fullscreen or setFullscreen but there is no officially documented way to maximize a window. At least, not in the release build as this issue explains: https://discourse.panda3d.org/t/set-window-size-to-maximized/27031

[gilded drift]

i dont want fullscreen, i need maximization, welp, guess its not possible

[lunar venture]

This issue is five years old now 😔

[gilded drift]

fck, should i start using another engine?

do yall know any good 3d game engine?

for python ofc

[lunar venture]

It is possible but you need to figure a solution for every platform you intend to support

[lunar venture]

Ursina

[gilded drift]

only windows 11

[gilded drift]

isnt panda3d a ripoff of ursina?

[lunar venture]

Then the solution is right in the issue thread

No idea I don't do game dev in Python

I just made an effort to research a little for you

[gilded drift]

bro i did hours of research

idk why i couldnt find this specific thread

[lunar venture]

Top search result

[gilded drift]

didnt work for me :/

[lunar venture]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[gilded drift]

ツ what symbol even is that

[lunar venture]

I searched panda3d setmaximized

[gilded drift]

oh well

thanks anyways

[lunar venture]

Some Japanese katakana character

[gilded drift]

lol

[lunar venture]

Also this code reeks of slop. You should use super().__init__() rather than ShowBase.__init__(self)

[gilded drift]

idk i suck at coding, im just following a tutorial

[lunar venture]

Practice good OOP

You have to learn Python basics before jumping into a project

Especially one that uses OOP

[gilded drift]

whats oop

[lunar venture]

Object oriented programming

Explains classes and super() in Python

[gilded drift]

oh god

why does programming have to be so hard

no tutorials will teach me anything the right way

BUT PRIVATE TEACHERS ARE SO EXPENSIVE

[hearty tapir]

I think no matter what entry into programming can be pretty hard. But once you can do anything at all with it with if statements, functions, etc are in it, the rest is only hard if the teaching of it isn't very good. Which I think for most stuff it isn't. But if you're lucky and ask the right questions on discord for example you can get answers in a much more casual way which might be easier to understand.

[cerulean nimbus]

you dont need private teachers there are lots of good resource available everywhere even here

!res

[frank field]

Resources

The Resources page on our website contains a list of hand-selected learning resources that we regularly recommend to both beginners and experts.

[uneven bridge]

I'll be checking that one out also

bruh its not even a game engine

its just another pygame

is there not an actual game engine where you can use python without external plugins???

[cerulean nimbus]

there are game engine projects on github but they arent well maintained and lots of bugginess plus i think godot is one with python plugin where you can do everything with python

[uneven bridge]

I tried using that plugin but just by looking at a starting script I gave up

like at that point might as well just use gdscript

and I still couldnt understand how to do things with it

[uneven bridge]

is ursina or panda3d better?

[short tapir]

Thanks!

[uneven bridge]

is Ursina or panda3d better?

[lunar venture]

I'm not qualified to answer that

[lunar venture]

[slow copper]

ursina is built on top of panda3d. Ursina provides some abstraction and some useful game specific utilities over panda3d

its also more beginner friendly as it doesnt forces you to use OOP, but if you do want your code base to be sane, you'd want to learn OOP either way

[uneven bridge]

alr thanks

[strong gulch]

I made a small library on top of pygame to make my 2d games extremely fast, maybe you will find it useful. It has an App class that already provides a window, so you dont have to write this again every time. And other features. https://github.com/EgorPy/BlackJack/tree/english-version

And I made the Black Jack game using this library

[uneven bridge]

Could you explain how to use it?

[uneven bridge]

???

[lunar venture]

This isn't some game dev framework you can easily use it's just a game project

All you can do is take inspiration from it

[uneven bridge]

Okay but didnt you share it to be used by others? You gave the entire code for free

[lunar venture]

I'm someone else, and I imagine they shared their project for the reasons I just wrote

[uneven bridge]

Oh lol ok

[lunar venture]

Variables specific to this game aren't neatly separated from the App class

[full pulsar]

Hey! I have made a text based game engine and added a bit of content to it. Anyone interested in trying it out? I would really love some feedback.

[gritty socket]

3d or 2d? And what renderer are u using?

[full pulsar]

It's text based.

[gritty socket]

I am sorry, i accidentally misread

[full pulsar]

No worries

[uneven bridge]

what does text based mean in this case

like pygame?

[gritty socket]

No like in terminal i think

[full pulsar]

Not really terminal actually, I settled on pyside6

[uneven bridge]

uhh whatever I have no idea lol

[full pulsar]

It's basically a GUI framework with widgets and everything

[uneven bridge]

so something like unity?

[full pulsar]

I actually also have a video showcasing some of it

[uneven bridge]

??

[full pulsar]

I haven't used unity alot but I'm pretty sure it's not like unity. It's just a UI framework like tkinter but better

Can I send a link here or are there rules against that?

[uneven bridge]

just send a video Im confused as hell 😭

[full pulsar]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ji_zsRn5VoUr-4K6pAfpjvLA969a_swN/view?usp=drivesdk

[full pulsar]

My bad, I probably didn't explain it right

[uneven bridge]

oh cool

so it was something like pygame

[full pulsar]

Well, I also haven't used pygame so 🤷‍♂️

I just wanted to make a game engine and I kinda just did

[uneven bridge]

in pygame you basically just write all the code in your code editor without using apps or something

[full pulsar]

Hmm, I'm not sure I understand.

[uneven bridge]

its like a normal coding project

[full pulsar]

Oh okay, so it's just a module

[uneven bridge]

normally games are made with apps that make everything simpler, where it does everything the file importing and the object making for you

and you just make scripts and assign them to those objects

[full pulsar]

Ahhh right right, like unity.

[uneven bridge]

yea

[full pulsar]

Cool, pretty cool

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/114uEgH9nyryl96ryeEw1qAM3rG5gNe8N

Here's the engine up until this point if you or anyone wants to try it out and rip it apart

It also has the small demo, with a basic small map, some entities and a single half complete quest

[wise shale]

Worked on a commission. An isometric Samoyed. 🐶

[fierce bridge]

do you have to know how to code to create a game , asking for a friend who can't code or should they learn how to code first?

[raven kernel]

cuuute 😍

[lunar venture]

A videogame without scripters is a video, no player interaction. They can specialize in a different area and team up with scripters.

[fierce bridge]

thank you that explains it perfectly

[normal silo]

While they can team up with someone who can program. Learning programming themselves lets them test their game design ideas much more quickly without communication overhead (and miscommunication). It's a core skill to videogame creation.

[fierce bridge]

Ya that is what I thought its actually for a friend of friend and they don't draw or write or produce music so I figure coding is the best just being an idea guy isn't going to cut it I figure

[normal silo]

(Unless they leave the game design to others too, and focus on art or other things)

[normal silo]

They must contribute in a tangible way somehow. Not just ideas.

[fierce bridge]

yep that is what I thougth

t

[normal silo]

The others skills can be just as hard as programming, there is no way around learning a hard to learn skill.

[fierce bridge]

True

[normal silo]

As a solo dev you need more than 1 skill too, more like 5.

[fierce bridge]

very true

[normal silo]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oE1Rm7F7f20

[fierce bridge]

should I link the video to them

I don't want to discourage them

[normal silo]

Yes. It gives a good idea of what is involved, and how impressive it is when someone manages to make any game at all.

But at the same time, it's possible, just need the correct expectations.

The key is enjoying the process itself, not the end result. The end result is for the gamers to enjoy.

Enjoying playing games and enjoying making games are two very different things.

Enjoying playing them does not mean you will enjoy making them. And in some cases, the other way around (rare) (e.g. likes to make sound effects for games, but does not like to play games).

[fierce bridge]

I have a question one day I might consider to make a online trading card game what should I start with pong? And work my way up

[normal silo]

Not a card game, and not online.

Making a game is hard, making a multiplayer game is even harder.

Card games require a lot of work due to many different card arts needed, many effects, etc. It's not the most complex thing to program, but it's a lot of work to get through.

[fierce bridge]

I might have an artist

I just have to do the coding

[normal silo]

Ok, but in that case as an indie dev I still recommend designing around modular art, that is the artist gives you lots of composable parts that you can combine in code. E.g. they make 10 backgrounds that you reuse everywhere in the card art.

So instead of complete pieces of art, it's more like they give you a Lego set.

[fierce bridge]

but I want individual monsters don't I ?

[normal silo]

Managing the combinatorics involved and bringing that to something reasonable is key.

[normal silo]

Yes, but depending on the art style that can be broken down into parts.

Like maybe a body part, a head part, eyes, nose, mouth, etc.

And then you can make N combinations of those.

[fierce bridge]

okay I will take that into considerations

[normal silo]

This won't be as nice as if each card has its entirely own hand drawn monster, but that is not really doable for an indie studio.

AAA's main advantage is that they can have a massive numbers of artists to pump that out.

[fierce bridge]

I can ask if they have any artist frieinds

[normal silo]

So your game will need to focus on something else to make up for the lack of that.

[fierce bridge]

How many cards should I focus on first

[normal silo]

As for where to begin, I recommend looking to making complex UIs with fancy animations, since card games are kind of adjacent to that.

[normal silo]

No more than 100.

[fierce bridge]

and no less then how many

[normal silo]

Not many are needed to have fun. See draft formats in various card games.

[normal silo]

Finding out the minimal needed might be a good place to start.

See how few you can get away with an still have fun.

And interesting / complex interactions.

If it's not fun with only a few, then adding a ton more to the pile probably won't magically make it fun.

The core mechanics need changing then.

[fierce bridge]

should I get the gameplay down before the art ?

[normal silo]

Yes and no. It's good to start with just boxes and programmer placeholder art, but sometimes it can help to have a bit in place to get a vibe going.

Artists will often come in at the very start for concept, and at the end to flesh it all out and replace all programmer art/placeholders.

[lunar venture]

Could draw a background for the game, a frame for the cards and a background for the monster image inside the card and you can tweak these last two in hue or color a bit for different types of cards or monsters. You could alternatively be minimalistic and have a single card leaf that doesn't change for any card, and any information is a silhouette.

Just figure out the scope you want for the art

[fierce bridge]

I have to go can we continue this discussion later

thanks everyone for the tips

[normal silo]

Oh, yeah, also link this, very important to avoid making the wrong game for the wrong audience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XolbSxFhDcs

[fierce bridge]

ty

how do you probe the market

[normal silo]

If you search around there are many resources covering it, not too hard to find. Card games happen to do well on Steam (PC) actually.

(Deck builders specifically)

[fierce bridge]

what about on mobile

[normal silo]

I have not checked in on mobile, but it's a different crowd.

PC gamers tend to like these high complexity build-y management style games.

(e.g. 4x)

[fierce bridge]

so making something like magic for a card game on mobile is a bad idea

[normal silo]

(And this has remained constant throughout all of PC gaming history btw)

[normal silo]

I need to check mobile again.

They do like small gambling games there.

E.g. Match 3.

Things you can quickly get in and out of.

So no 40 minute Magic game.

[fierce bridge]

yu gi oh is mobile

what about 2 modes

one for pc and for mobile

[normal silo]

Yugioh worked out for a while but IIRC is not doing well, too hard to get into.

Too much knowledge, card pool.

It has a shrinking population that they monetize more to make up for the shrink.

[fierce bridge]

how do you know so much about this?

[normal silo]

I just follow gaming / game dev stuff.

Various talks online.

Presentations.

Steam Spy.

Etc.

[fierce bridge]

but what about 2 modes one for pc and mobile

I mean each device could have both

[normal silo]

Making one mode is still hard, focus on one platform is what I recommend.

Better to nail one target audience than mess up 2.

[fierce bridge]

Could I add a second mode later

[normal silo]

A few dedicated fans can keep you afloat.

[normal silo]

Can always add more, but it takes time and money.

Game dev is about playing this game of balancing that with ambition.

And as a game dev, it's important to make a game the audience wants, not just what you want. Because even if you are not in it for the money, spending years making a game and nobody playing it is pretty rough.

[fierce bridge]

true

should I start with pong or jump straight to a card game?

[normal silo]

Go something like Pong -> Breakout -> Tetris -> add UI to Tetris (main menu, settings, pause menu, restart) (UI experience) -> add Juice to Tetris (game feel experience) -> Poker (don't make games that involve tons of assets yet) (get the UI nice on this, betting with chips) -> Collecting card game prototype.

There is a lot of steps needed to learn a lot first.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy0aCDmgnxg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFOAipGJGA0

(Juice is what happens when in Hearthstone you place down a legendary and it goes "thonk" and plays a voice line, etc)

[fierce bridge]

thank you for all the advice

since it is mobile I thinking of another language then python

[normal silo]

Yes, probably, see Godot, GDScript is similar.

It's a good idea to pick a general tool like Godot and get really good at it.

One which lets others work with you (artists, level designers, etc).

[fierce bridge]

it might be a while till I start I am working on another idea first

[normal silo]

Standardization is a good idea here. It's hard to hire for anything other than the most common engines for example.

[fierce bridge]

is godot compatible with blender

[normal silo]

Yes.

[fierce bridge]

Okay because the art person mentioned blender I think

[normal silo]

The three big engines that are "standard" are Unreal, Unity, and Godot.

[fierce bridge]

and godot is free so use that one?

[normal silo]

Yeah.

Unity is good, but they have been doing some strange things that caused many to switch to Godot, up to you though.

[fierce bridge]

I think I will take your advice

with godot

[normal silo]

Godot is a solid choice either way.

[fierce bridge]

May I ask have you created any games

[normal silo]

I do some game jams from time to time, but I am not a game dev. Just a hobby for me.

[fierce bridge]

okay

[normal silo]

I am just interested in it, especially game design.

And I make simulations, which is adjacent.

[fierce bridge]

Coding is interesting

[normal silo]

Btw, if you really want to use Python though, it's possible too.

[fierce bridge]

Not really

due to mobile

[normal silo]

Yeah, Python is still a good place to learn though. But after making like Pong and Breakout in Python (via Pygame for example), I would switch over to Godot and remake the Breakout and go from there.

[fierce bridge]

what languages does godot mainly use or does it vary

[normal silo]

GDScript and C#.

The engine itself is C++.

[fierce bridge]

remind me does C# have pointers

[normal silo]

Technically yes.

[fierce bridge]

can you avoid them

[normal silo]

Yes, they are not commonly used.

[fierce bridge]

okay good

I am very rusty on pointers

I learned them once

[normal silo]

It's a high level language that is probably the most common in game dev now due to Unity using it.

But I recommend sticking with GDScript at first.

It's also the most portable then.

C# can have issues like on web.

[fierce bridge]

what language is GDScript like

[normal silo]

They are always there, some languages just make them visible.

[normal silo]

Python.

(Clearly based on Python originally)

[fierce bridge]

I have actually never heard of GDScript

till now

[normal silo]

It's Godot's language.

[fierce bridge]

makes sense

for different screen sizes how do you make a game responsive

or it is not complicated

[normal silo]

Godot for example has different settings for this.

For example you may have some target aspect ratio and target render size, and it will scale to fit.

On mobile letter boxing and pillar boxing are not as common.

[fierce bridge]

On a tangent one of coworkers is creating a minecraft replica of the store I work at can pictures/video be used to recreate the store

[normal silo]

You want to scan in the store?

[fierce bridge]

well my coworker is already creating the store from memory

I figure if someone uses a camera or video it would speed up the process

basically yes

I figure you might know because you created virtual environments for fun

[normal silo]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photogrammetry

It can be done.

Doing this yourself can be done via OpenCV (which has Python bindings).

[fierce bridge]

so basically into google just go OpenCV and google

"how do I use Photogrammetry OpenCV" with python

[normal silo]

https://github.com/mikeroyal/Photogrammetry-Guide

[fierce bridge]

also I am not sure I would have an aerial view due to it being a store

[normal silo]

There are also existing software products for this.

[fierce bridge]

like what

[normal silo]

https://www.photomodeler.com/

https://www.artec3d.com/

This is all generally expensive stuff. So for a small project like making a replica of a room in Minecraft, probably not worth it.

But it's how AAA avoids a lot of modeling work.

There are cheaper methods involving just a phone as a camera.

[fierce bridge]

okay thanks tons of info I am going to bed

[normal silo]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKbyVDK2Ep8

There are many more.

[fierce bridge]

thank you again

And it also created a folder with two files inside, one of them being a .obj

[slow copper]

there must be something wrong with your blend files

re export them and delete the files ursina generated and try again

[uneven bridge]

Uh okay Ill do that when Im home

Weird tho cuz I exported it to the game files and then created a models folder and moved it there

Thats it

[uneven bridge]

I fixed it with a guy in the ursina server

[uneven bridge]

and the .blend file wasnt the problem

[slow copper]

oh what was the problem

[uneven bridge]

main problem was me importing my entities module before instantiating Ursina, secondary problem (not really a problem but yeah) is I had to put only "testroom" instead of "models/testroom" since Ursina searches for the file on its own

[slow copper]

oh okay

[marble sapphire]

how could u say that ?

[bitter marsh]

Is any serious game development done in python?

[uneven bridge]

I dont think so but there are good game engines in python

like pygame for 2d and ursina for 3d

[mint pendant]

Godot engine, if you want write python like

[raven kernel]

there is some

https://www.youtube.com/@DaFluffyPotato/

Has anyone ever made a card game using pygame

[limber veldt]

Probably many, I have

Player vs computer cribbage

[astral nest]

me

[tired reef]

How big should the rectangle be for the card I'm just asking because that's something that's tripping me up in the sizing of the card cuz I'm building a card game and I want to get dimensions just right

[tired reef]

What do you set gauge for the card size?

[shut tulip]

Tbh I think it depends on the number of caïds you have to show on screen and where they are

[limber veldt]

I used images for my cards and didn't scale them, this one is 127px by 195px

For the fog timer did I implement it correctly?

[lunar venture]

No

[lunar venture]

if self.fog_cooldown <= 0:
    print("hello")
``` needs to go in the `while self.running` loop of the `play` method, say, after the `self.fog()` line

[tired reef]

Thank you

[lunar venture]

Keep in mind you can use self.clock.set_timer with a custom event:

self.fog_event = pyg.event.custom_type()
...
self.clock.set_timer(self.fog_event, 6000)
while self.running:
    ...
    if event.type == self.fog_event:
        print("hello")
        self.clock.set_timer(self.fog_event, 0)
...

Note that now 6000 represents 6000 milliseconds, or 6 seconds. Beforehand, it represented 100 seconds in your program, because self.clock.tick(60) constrains your loop to run 60 times per second, and counting down from 6000 in 60 FPS takes 100 seconds.

[tired reef]

            self.fog()
            self.game_update()
        pyg.quit()```

[shut tulip]

no

if you do that, you end up being stuck in the fog's while loop

what you need to do is like the way you update the game

    def fog_update(self):
        self.fog_cooldown -=1 # update the cooldown
        if self.fog_cooldown <= 0: 
          ... # do the event


    def game_update(self):
        #===[game clock + game update]===#
        self._screen.fill("green")

        pyg.display.flip()
        self.clock.tick(60)

    def play(self):
         while self.running:
           ... # handle events
           self.game_update()
           self.fog_update() 

Only one single while loop for the whole game

[tired reef]

thank you

[tired reef]

What should I do just to show that the card is correct I need to just figure out how the cards are going to spawn for now

[tired reef]

Got it to work

[silk flame]

I've (AI assisted) made a simple (~300-400 lines of code) python program using Tkinter for the GUI. Is anyone willing to play the game and offer any advice for improvements etc...

Also I'm new here. So idk if this is the right channel to ask or say something like this. Thanks!

[exotic orbit]

Hmmm send the python code? Or link to it if you have uploaded it to GitHub

[silk flame]

the thing is, is it possible my code will be copyrighted? cause python is opened sourced right? so if i send it here, does that mean people will share it and then claim credit for it?

i don't use github

[exotic orbit]

The thing also about GitHub is that your code is already yours to begin with and you can put additional license for usage should the others use your code

[silk flame]

oh ok. i'll try

[silk flame]

oh damn. what are all these licenses?

what's the default one?

[exotic orbit]

Usually its the GNU stuff for disallowing private distribution of your code. You can read each license description and see what fits your goal

[silk flame]

ok i got it: https://github.com/SaviduD/Code/blob/6a39e7381ce881da96702332ec083229ad7b2b41/Pi_v1.0.2.py

do u need to me to explain the program or?

[silk flame]

yeah i asked GPT and it said go with a MIT or Apache 2.0 (i went with the former).

[exotic orbit]

404

[silk flame]

oh umm... do yk how to fix that?

idk how ot link github lol (first time)

[silk flame]

umm yes?

[exotic orbit]

You haven’t uploaded the repository yet

Your profile only displays your HTML repository

[silk flame]

so converting that to english, it means...?

sorry if my pea-brain is putting you on edge lol.

[exotic orbit]

You need to make a new repository containing your python code which it will then be displayed publicly for other users to see your project.

Here’s an actual guide:

https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/quickstart-for-repositories

[exotic orbit]

No worries. We all started here lmao.

[shut tulip]

Do you really think your 300 lines of code are worth stealing ?

I mean no offense, but no one would steal that

[silk flame]

yes lol that is true...

[silk flame]

ok this wont come up now.

https://github.com/SaviduD/Code/commit/6a39e7381ce881da96702332ec083229ad7b2b41

i realised the problem was i had my thing set to private

if the game play thing doesn't make sense just ask me. (FYI i have currently memorised 230+ digits of π)

[slow copper]

You can look at this guide to get an overview of different licensing https://choosealicense.com/licenses/

Also, it's a pretty nice game

[coral sparrow]

How to make tilemaps

[astral nest]

Hello, everybody.
I am untiy game developer and AI engineer.
I'm looking for a female software engineer with some IT knowledge to collaborate with.

[coral sparrow]

this is python discord

[shut tulip]

Why especially a female one ?

[uneven bridge]

either gay or a creep

you can only choose 1

I guess theres also bisexual which would make it both but

[silk flame]

Yeah ty

Any suggestions?

For improvement i mean

(Ill finish adding in the speedrun mode later obv)

[placid path]

Can someone help me create a script in Lua maphack no icon in mlbb using game guardian

[exotic orbit]

Are you for real tho…

[shut tulip]

Maybe ask in a lua server ?

[placid path]

Ok

I need a scripter sory

Dm me u will help me

[slim geode]

😆 ☝️ get a load of this guy

[exotic orbit]

Are we allowed to help develop game cheats?

[uneven bridge]

Prolly not

[timber venture]

Anyone have tips for promoting a Steam game?

[coral sparrow]

can someone tell me

[coral sparrow]

using social medias i think

[timber venture]

There's some good youtube tutorials for this, I learned a lot from Codingwithruss etc. You program class world and then use a program like tiled to make a .csv that has the IDs for each tile

[coral sparrow]

thanks i watched that too but i'm polish so i have little problem with undestarding the tutorial

[coral sparrow]

You game is great i think i would buy it

[timber venture]

Thanks! I worked incredibly hard on it for a long time and there was about 100 times I thought Id give up. But it's fun once you have something to keep building on it. Just hard to overcome certain steps.

[coral sparrow]

i'm making my first platformer and id give up because i don't know how to make tilemaps moving camera and others things

i made my first game named blocksmash but it's very bad i think

[timber venture]

I doubt it's bad

It's difficult to get started

But dont give up

[coral sparrow]

thanks

[timber venture]

dont worry about a camera yet, just first get the other things going and then later you can do that

[coral sparrow]

i'm having python courses so i have some basics

https://foxiakvr.itch.io/blocksmash this is my first game in pygame

[timber venture]

I will save the link to check it out later for sure

[coral sparrow]

thanks

[coral sparrow]

can you send me the tutorial from Codingwithruss? because i searching for it and i don't see it

[coral sparrow]

can someone help? Traceback (most recent call last):

[coral sparrow]

I FIXED IT

[timber venture]

He has a lot of good tutorials, but I started with this simple one since things can get complicated quite fast.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ongc4EVqRjo

[timber venture]

I played it, it's basic... but it's something and it's a good start for anything

It's important to have projects like that I think

[analog bloom]

it seem fine

[timber venture]

Yeah, it's good

[shy vigil]

Are there any actively maintained projects using Panda3D, regardless of their scale?

[slow copper]

Ursina

It's a game engine built on top of it

[shy vigil]

Yeah I know, but I was expecting a game

[slow copper]

I've seen some games built with ursina though

Not many with panda

[vagrant saddle]

at least 5 panda3D published on steam, not sure for ursina. also there was a game studio to build your own games on android but it was discontinued

also (relatively) easy game export to web with Panda3D https://pmp-p.itch.io/panda3d-test not yet with Ursina

[slow nexus]

I have a game idea 🤠

[plain stirrup]

Tell

[lament vault]

Let it out bruh

[raven kernel]

speaketh the idea

[uneven bridge]

Maketh the sound of the ideath come out your toungeth

[slow cosmos]

this is amazing! it feels like one of those online platform where you can just goof around with your friends. keep it up, man👍
