hello?
I need help with the Turtle
how do I load a .GIF over the internet using the urllib.request module and make it appear?
because I only found instructions on how to open a .GIF on the local computer

[lunar dawn]

Hello, python noob here. Need some help with bunny and badgers

[lunar dawn]

I followed step by step, even copied the whole thing, and then I get this

error: Couldn't open
resources/images/dude.png

[dreamy swan]

Do you have a folder in the same location as the code named resources, a folder inside of that named images, and a file named dude.png?

[lunar dawn]

I'm currently putting the 2 separately. You think that's what I'm doing wrong?

[dreamy swan]

Is your image in the same folder as your code?

[quaint fog]

how do you make enemy clones shoot at you in pygame scroller?

So you create clones of them and then what do you do with the projectile?

[lunar dawn]

@dreamy swan not atm

[dreamy swan]

Replace the resources/images/dude.png
With the path to the picture file

[lunar dawn]

So same place as the code

[frozen knoll]

@quaint fog Not sure exactly what you are looking for, but there are several examples here:
http://programarcadegames.com/index.php?chapter=example_code

There are non-pygame examples at https://arcade.academy/examples/index.html#shooting-with-sprites that you might be able to take the concepts from and apply to pygame.

[lunar dawn]

@dreamy swan i see. Thank you so much for the help.

[quaint fog]

ok thanks!

[dreamy swan]

No problem

[gritty bay]

What is a good professional graphics tool like OpenGL but with a more straightforward setup

[cold storm]

UPBGE

@gritty bay

you use eevee

so you can use nodes or even write your own frag / vert shaders

https://docs.blender.org/api/current/gpu.html?highlight=gpu#module-gpu

https://github.com/UPBGE/upbge

https://github.com/UPBGE/upbge/wiki/Release-notes-version-0.3.0 - still beta*

[near wedge]

@gritty bay You might want to check out moderngl (might still be too low level though)

Panda3D is pretty easy to get going with and provides a lot of control over graphics (has high-level utilities for a lot of OpenGL stuff), but it may be too abstracted away from OpenGL for your needs. However, I'm mostly speculating as to what those needs may be.

Pyglet is another lower-level option.

Do you guys remember a game called Rocket Mania?

[merry echo]

Oh the pipe connecting game?

[lunar dawn]

Yes, that game

I want to try recreating that game in Python, with tiny twist

But I'm still new to it, so I'd be glad if anyone can help me

[supple blade]

Button input pygame

How would this work?

[potent ice]

Clicking a button for example?

[supple blade]

sure

but in pygame

[potent ice]

You can check for mouse click events and get the mouse position

You know were the button is

[supple blade]

k

[potent ice]

There are some GUI libraries for pygame as well, but that might be overkill for this

Might be worth looking at? https://www.pygame.org/wiki/gui

[supple blade]

k

[potent ice]

Most of those are fully fledged UI libraries. Not sure what you actually need

If you just need to support a few textured buttons I would make it myself.

How do i get the shortest distance to a triangle in 3D space? (Please mention me if you know the answer)

[dawn quiver]

hello

[lyric surge]

I'm trying to make a super basic text rpg game

Very shoddy code as I've been using python for only 2 days now

I have a list of all the weapons, and a dictionary with the weapons and their prices, and a dictionary with the weapons and their "damage" values(simplistic combat it actually just makes it more likely to win)

[clear wraith]

@lyric surge I made a novice text RPG with a customizable set of CSVs for modifying the game , and creating your own turn-based RPG. My project isn't perfect, and I need to revisit it, but helped my close friend and I start to understand classes.

https://github.com/crawsome/pyRPG_mini

[lyric surge]

?

Oh jeez that's a lot of stuff

[jovial fable]

@lyric surge if it works and you're still discovering python it's probably fine

You will want to make objects with property later, so you can have a weapon object with a price and damage attributes

[lyric surge]

oh yeah that's how you would do it

I forgot that objects exist

[jovial fable]

yeah they're handy

[lyric surge]

not like this is object-oriented-programming

Would it be like class { (stuff) } ?

I stopped doing c# right as they started getting into classes lol

[jovial fable]

nearly, python just use class Stuff:

[lyric surge]

Oh

I'm so used to brackets around everything oof

[jovial fable]

class Weapon:
  def __init__(self, price, damage):
    self.price = price
    self.damage = damage

axe = Weapon(100, 2)
big_axe = Weapon(200, 10)

probably something around those lines

[lyric surge]

_init_?

[jovial fable]

it's something called when you create the object

[lyric surge]

Initializing?

[jovial fable]

yes

[lyric surge]

Oh

What're the _'s for

[jovial fable]

you tell it you want the weapon to have this price and this damage

just python thing for any internal stuff, i dont exactly know why

[clear wraith]

https://dbader.org/blog/meaning-of-underscores-in-python

"Underscores and "Dunderscores"

The __init__() is a special method, that is inside of every single class in Python, and it automatically called when a copy of that class is created in memory by the script you are running (instantiated)

I didn't read up fast enough, lol good explanation @jovial fable

[jovial fable]

ah yeah i forgot, then you can just do smthg likeprint(axe.price)

so that makes it handy and readable

[lyric surge]

bro

[jovial fable]

but for now if you have only 2 stuff and you just want to have fun

[lyric surge]

I'm gonna put a note that I need to go back and redo my text rpg

[jovial fable]

dicts are okay

[lyric surge]

I wasn't intending to add anything more

[jovial fable]

nah just have fun and when its super messy you go back

ah okay

cool

[lyric surge]

I just wanted to get it functional

[jovial fable]

yeah thats the first aim

[clear wraith]

That's where it always starts 🙂 Mine started <100 lines and was a simple battle between a monster class and a hero class.

im trying to code my own, and i was wondering if anyone had any tips to make my code less repetitive

lol

i want to try it though

right now im checking for legal king moves

[grim jasper]

I think I can't really provide any specifics, the rule in any code repetition is "figure out what they have in common, and how to encapsulate that"

That is first rate work @foggy python

[fast root]

does PySDL2 have a discord?

[foggy python]

I haven’t heard of one. Pygame 2 uses SDL2 though, so I think it’s somewhat obsolete now.

[fast root]

I am just trying to figure out... there must be a way to pass a BytesIO to a sprite factory?

because I am using the Resources class

and when I try to get my resource from it it will return a BytesIO object

I did try using SpriteFactory.from_object but it complains that my file is not a BMP

(file I am using is a PNG)

so maybe I need to convert it? SpriteFactory.from_image expects a filename afaict

I am trying to get a minmax search algo to work I have generated all the game states in the proper DFS order in a list but im not sure how to now get the values from the list..

Im super frustated if anyone could help itd be greatly appreciated

[fervent rose]

there's water "physics", wind "physics", cloth "physics", particle "physics", collision "physics", and grass "physics"
@foggy python are they actually physics based or hand-animation based? That looks pretty good! 😄

[rancid inlet]

test

there

[candid sandal]

@foggy python what engine did you use to create the map

[foggy python]

@fervent rose they’re all dynamic. None of it was hand animated, but I say “physics” because most of them are simple systems meant to look good, but not be entirely physically accurate.

@candid sandal I made my own level editor in Pygame.

[candid sandal]

Oh.

Nice, nice.

[magic girder]

so you didnt use an engine? just all your own work?

[halcyon hinge]

@foggy python mate, how did you do that?!
It looks so good
Makes my beginner game seem ultra bad

[foggy python]

@magic girder yeah. I’m just using Pygame 2 and a custom framework I’m making.

[magic girder]

@foggy python thats awesome

[potent ice]

That's the way to go. Make it look good using some simplified version of physics when you can get away with it 😉

[burnt stump]

Hi

I'm having a problem with Pygame.
Default rendering is horrible, so I'm trying to use freetype

mod = pygame.key.get_mods()
text = font.render_to(screen, (640, 480), u'This is a test', fgcolor=pygame.Color('white'))
pygame.display.flip()

This displays nothing

What am I doing wrong?

[magic girder]

how hard is it to make a python game online multiplayer

[dawn quiver]

@burnt stump Do you mean the font, and isn't your code wrong?

# This is initialized before the game loop
font = pygame.font.SysFont('Calibri')
# This is in the game loop
text = font.render('Text here', True, (255, 255, 255))
window.blit(text, (0, 0))

@magic girder It depends, if you are wondering for the module to use, socket would do.

[stray ember]

do u guys prefer pygame or pyglet

i dunno which one to chose

[dawn quiver]

On how hard, usually you would implement all sort of per key instructions and store the items, positions, attribute on server side, client side would hold as little as possible.

Pygame for me.

[stray ember]

hmm.

thx!

[dawn quiver]

I think you shouldn't always take somebody else's word.

Just search it up first and see which one is easier for you.

Although i think pyglet is a bit too hard, but whatever...

[stray ember]

have u tried combining them?

[dawn quiver]

No

[stray ember]

I've seen people do that, with pretty impressive results.

[dawn quiver]

Up to you. I haven't tried pyglet yet, but what i saw the references, it's a bit hard than pygame.

[stray ember]

yea

[dawn quiver]

I don't really have a game developing experience in python, really. I know how to use pygame because i have been learning it for 1 and 1/2 years. I usually only use pygame for testing individual parts. Heheh... It's sometimes boredom takes place. My only game dev exp. is using Scratch back then. I am familiar to Python but just don't have the same feelings from using Scratch

Although i've made several programs using python. But haven't made any big plans.

[stray ember]

I've used scratch, I think.

[stray ember]

try combining tkinter, pygame, pynput, pyglet, random. it has mass ability.

[ionic citrus]

Y is scratch that famous??

[dreamy swan]

Are we thinking of https://scratch.mit.edu ?

[gritty crescent]

Hey! How could i make that if i have project1.py that has wood = 0 and project2.py that has wood = 0 and (somehow) produces 1 wood each second, project1.py could display the basic value of wood + 1 each second ? so project2.py is a background process

[stray ember]

@dreamy swan yep.

@gritty crescent The harder way is to do it like you said, with it running in the background. However, the easier way, I think, is to use classes. Here's a link to the way to run the project in the background.

https://www.google.com/search?q=python+running+in+background&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS870US870&oq=python+running+&aqs=chrome.7.69i57j0l7.14020j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#kpvalbx=_FYnOXszFD87z-gTj-YfwBA28

[gritty crescent]

@stray ember it doesn't work...

[jaunty crane]

@stray ember tkinter and pygame wont work well imo because they are both gui-based modules

@gritty crescent i dont understand the use for project2.py since the only real functionality you described is for project1.py to add 1 to the wood variable each second and display it

[gritty crescent]

it's because in my game the wood variable stops 1 from working

@jaunty crane because project1 displays other functions that stops working if i add the wood variable in project 1

[stray ember]

@jaunty crane i dunno. I use tkinter to make pre-made GUI stuff, and pygame + pyglet for game stuff, but I prefer not to use pyglet as much as pygame.

[jaunty crane]

@gritty crescent do you get any tracebacks ? or they just dont work ?

@stray ember i used to make gui s with tkinter before but i got into game dev more and i found out its not exactly easier but its more centralized and for me its much more logical tbh

[gritty crescent]

@jaunty crane what are tracebacks

[jaunty crane]

but everyone had their own opinion and likes nothing wrong there bro

they are errors

in the command line

or shell

[gritty crescent]

no sorry

[jaunty crane]

none ?

[gritty crescent]

yes

[jaunty crane]

do you by any chance get one that says "variable referenced before assignment"?

[gritty crescent]

the problem is it returns a blank screen

[jaunty crane]

hmm

[gritty crescent]

may i sned you a screenshot ?

[jaunty crane]

of the code ?

[gritty crescent]

yes

this is the variable that has to run on background

and basically, the project on the left runs woodprod() among other functions and display the wood variable

[jaunty crane]

did you try importing the function into the other one

like, using

from woodprod.py import woodProd

dunno if it helps but you could try that

[gritty crescent]

Thx

[dreamy timber]

Hi! Is there a tutorial for Arcade available in text doc or pdf format, that isn't just walls of lists of documentation?

[fervent rose]

Sure there is

https://arcade.academy I believe

[dreamy timber]

Oh, I know about that. I can't find the text/pdf version.

[stray ember]

@jaunty crane Yeah, I agree. I don't use it very much, but I do use it for GUI based-stuff where I have to something simple.

[steady kiln]

I understand that this is a python server, but some here might know. I am making a test plugin for Minecraft spigot, I have no idea how to actually compile it. Using InteliJ IDE.

[magic girder]

have a question that should be easy

nvm ill use help

[regal moth]

i wanna make minesweeper, whats a good module? Im new to python so id prefer one simple and used for small games like this

is pygame good? or that turtle one?

[burnt stump]

Hello

Anyone around?

[mint zenith]

Don't wait for someone to be around. If you have a question, just ask right away

[burnt stump]

@mint zenith I want to simulate a console, and I can't get backspacke to properly erase a character on the screen. It's buggy.

Can you help me identify what is wrong?

[mint zenith]

I could try

Can you share your code?

[burnt stump]

Sure

I've been experimenting with it a bit, so some parts will be buggier than they should be

@mint zenith https://nopaste.linux-dev.org/?1318630

there you go

I'm clueless on how I should blit the text to make it disappear after a backspace

[mint zenith]

Ok finally managed to run it

I see what you mean

[burnt stump]

What am I doing wrong?

[mint zenith]

I'm looking into it

Some other issues I've spotted are the blinking cursor being too far to the right

And the debug output not showing the last character I typed until i type a new one

[burnt stump]

I figured that each character will take 10 pixels with the font I'm currently used

[mint zenith]

Oh that last one is a simple fix, just need to print after doing +=

[burnt stump]

each font is a little different

so there's that

[mint zenith]

Ahh it's a font thing

[burnt stump]

Let me give you my fonts

[mint zenith]

yeah i just changed it to arial cause I didn't have whatever you're using

[burnt stump]

Just place them on the program folder

[mint zenith]

You won't be able to send fonts here unfortunately

I don't think it's important for now, don't worry about it

[burnt stump]

ok

Oh that last one is a simple fix, just need to print after doing += -> where?

[mint zenith]

here

                print("Debug: user input is, ", user_input)
                user_input += event.unicode

I guess it depends on how you interpret the debug message. I was expecting it to show the new message after I typed, not the old one

[burnt stump]

Don't worry too much about that

I'm specifically concerned about the GUI

I can't redraw the user interface properly when backspace is pressed

@mint zenith How exactly am I supposed to blit the text after backspace is pressed?

[mint zenith]

One approach you can try is to just cover up the entire previous text and then blit the new contents

But that may cause flickering, not sure

What you're currently doing doesn't make sense

You're blitting the last character in black but it's starting from the very left position

[burnt stump]

I guess I don't understand screen.blit well

The problem is that I thought I'd have to blit the whole line

so, how do I blit only the last character?

@mint zenith How do I fix this?

[mint zenith]

Like I said, cover up previous text and blit new contents

You can do this by generating the text in black and blitting it, then removing the last character and blitting it again in green

That's my naïve approach to it

[burnt stump]

So, like this?

cursor_width += len(user_input)
cursor_surface = font.render(user_input, True, pygame.Color('black'), (0,0,0))
screen.blit(user_render,(user_render.get_width(),10))
user_input = user_input[-1]
cursor_surface = font.render(user_input, True, pygame.Color('green'), (0,0,0))
screen.blit(user_render,(user_render.get_width(),10))
pygame.display.flip()

yeah, that won't work

Hello?

[mint zenith]

You need to do user_input = user_input[:-1] to cut off the last character

Notice the colon in there

[burnt stump]

Still buggy

[mint zenith]

Right cause you blit the wrong thing

[burnt stump]

What am I supposed to blit?

[mint zenith]

Change the name of cursor_surface here to user_render

You created the black font but you didn't blit it!

[burnt stump]

Like this?

cursor_width += len(user_input)
cursor_surface = font.render(cursor, True, pygame.Color('black'), (0,0,0))
cursor_surface = font.render(user_input, True, pygame.Color('black'), (0,0,0))
delete_line = len(memory_text + cursor + user_input) * 10
screen.blit(user_render,(delete_line,10))
screen.blit(cursor_surface,(delete_line,10))
user_input = user_input[:-1]
#cursor_surface = font.render(user_input, True, pygame.Color('green'), (0,0,0))
screen.blit(user_render,(len(user_input * 10),10))
screen.blit(user_render,(len(cursor * 10),10))
pygame.display.flip()_

@mint zenith

[mint zenith]

No

Here is what needs to be done (I'm ignoring the cursor for now):

1. Render the font with the old text in black
2. Blit the black text
3. Remove the last character from the user input
4. Render the font in green without the last character
5. Blit the green text

[burnt stump]

Ok, so first like this:

cursor_width += len(user_input)
text_surface = font.render(user_input, True, pygame.Color('black'), (0,0,0))
screen.blit(user_render,(len(user_input * 10),10))
pygame.display.flip()

@mint zenith right?

[mint zenith]

No

You aren't blitting text_surface

You need to blit that

user_render is not the same thing as text_surface

[burnt stump]

@mint zenith But do I have to? It doesn't change when the user press backspace

You can think of that as part of the prompt

[100] (User input) |

[mint zenith]

I don't understand

[burnt stump]

This is supposed to simulate the interface of a BASIC computer

[100] is the current (initial) memory address

(user input) is whatever the user types, similar to a dos command prompt

[mint zenith]

You're gonna re-render everything in green afterwards so it's ok if you make it black here

Maybe having a separate surface for each line would have been better 🤔

[burnt stump]

Ok, so blit text_surface, user_render and cursor_surface, right?

[mint zenith]

Like this

if event.key == pygame.K_BACKSPACE:
    # Blit the old text in black, which effectively clears all text from the line.
    user_render = font.render(user_input, True, pygame.Color('black'), (0,0,0))
    screen.blit(user_render,(70, 10))

    # Remove the last character from the text stored.
    user_input = user_input[:-1]


# later on... (this is the same exact code you already had)
user_render = font.render(user_input, True, pygame.Color('green'), (0,0,0))
screen.blit(user_render, (70, 10))
pygame.display.flip()```

[burnt stump]

I feel so stupid :/

It's not deleting the text though

It stops at the last char

if event.key == pygame.K_BACKSPACE:
user_render = font.render(user_input, True, pygame.Color('black'), (0,0,0))
screen.blit(user_render,(70, 10))
user_input = user_input[:-1]
user_render = font.render(user_input, True, pygame.Color('green'), (0,0,0))
screen.blit(user_render, (70, 10))
pygame.display.flip()

That's how it's supposed to be, right?

[mint zenith]

Let me look into it

hmm

It starts to work if I comment out this ```py
if mod & pygame.KMOD_CTRL and event.key == pygame.K_c:
quit()

        elif mod & pygame.KMOD_ALT and event.key == pygame.K_RETURN:
            if fullscreen == False:
                fullscreen = True
                screen = pygame.display.set_mode((640,480), pygame.FULLSCREEN | pygame.HWSURFACE | pygame.DOUBLEBUF, 8)
                pygame.display.flip()
            elif fullscreen == True:
                fullscreen = False
                screen = pygame.display.set_mode((640,480), pygame.RESIZABLE | pygame.HWSURFACE | pygame.DOUBLEBUF, 8)
            pygame.display.flip()

[burnt stump]

It does? It doesn't really type anything here if you comment this out

[mint zenith]

Ah right

i think I see the problem

You need to prevent it from appending the backspace character to the user input

Yes, backspace is a character too

[burnt stump]

Oh?

Why do I need to prevent it? How is it being appended?

[mint zenith]

Here

user_input += event.unicode

The backspace is part of event.unicode so you append it

[burnt stump]

oooooooooh

Ooooh

yes, that's exactly what's wrong

Cursor is still a little glitchy though :/

[mint zenith]

I think it'd be a lot easier for you if you had separate surfaces for these

That way you could simply clear the surface and blit again

Without having to worry about blitting exactly over the old position in black like you did with the text

The same thing applies to your cursor

[burnt stump]

@mint zenith you mean a single surface for each line, right?

[mint zenith]

Yeah

And then a single surface for the cursor, which you will clear and move when you go to a new line

Something like that, rough idea

[burnt stump]

Gotcha

I'll do that later today

Just tell me

Why was backspace causing that strange bug?

[mint zenith]

Backspace is a character

It's part of ASCII even

Pygame feeds you all characters, even those that aren't a-z and 0-9

[burnt stump]

Ok, so in reality it was just adding and removing the backspace character, right?

[mint zenith]

Yea

It got "locked" cause you remove the last character, but right after you add a backspace in

[burnt stump]

yes, it makes sense now

Do you have any suggestions on how I can manage more than 1 command line?

(i,e the command is longer than one line)

[mint zenith]

When you render the font, get its width and see if its wider than the screen's width

Hmm ok

You'll want to split the text so that it fits within the screen, but I'm not sure how you'd find out exactly where to split

[burnt stump]

So, maybe a class called console, with total lines?

where each line is a surface

[mint zenith]

yes

I thought you were asking how to move text to a new line to prevent the text being cut off at the edge of the screen

i.e. text wrapping

[burnt stump]

yep, that's what I was talking about

[mint zenith]

OK, I think it's a bit complicated

[burnt stump]

but since we can only have one surface per line, I'll need something that automates this

[mint zenith]

I found this https://www.pygame.org/wiki/TextWrap

So look into that

[burnt stump]

Thanks

You know, I might reuse that code to make a new shell

Windows' 7 default shell is so crappy

@mint zenith I don't think I'll manage to have just one surface per line, btw

I need a flashing cursor

I can't just make one part of the surface to flash, can I?

[mint zenith]

That's why I suggested a separate surface for the cursor

You can have like a cursor_height variable which you use when blitting the cursor

And whenever enter is pressed, you do cursor_height += height_of_single_line

Then clear the cursor surface and blit again with the new height

Hope that makes sense

[burnt stump]

It'll probably have to be something like cursor_width += (width_of_single_line + 10)

we need some space from last character

[mint zenith]

This is height, not width

[burnt stump]

yep

[mint zenith]

Oh right

I see

I was assuming your line height would already account for padding rather than being a snug fit to the font

[burnt stump]

How do I account for padding?

[mint zenith]

Make the surface slightly taller than the font height and then blit the font in the middle of the surface

But yeah, you could also space out the surfaces.

Either way achieves the same thing ultimately

[heady edge]

Heyy, anyone good with Ren’Py here, plz DM me if so, or tag

Hello guys :)
Just for fun I wrote a multiplayer version of BabaIsYou with trivial maps edition : https://github.com/r4mbo7/babaisyou

[gritty crescent]

@knotty galleon lol i don't even know how to use it

[knotty galleon]

Yes it as terribly poor documentation, sorry... I should have fixe that before posting it sorry

First difficulty, find how to start the game haha ^^

[gritty crescent]

lmao but it seems too complicated for me sorry

[knotty galleon]

I gonna fixe that in 10 minutes 🙂

[gritty crescent]

thanks

Boys i need help for a school project

I got this error

nvm I found it out

@deft vine Velazuse could you help me with my issue pls

[deft vine]

do u need help for that issue?

I just drew another rectangle for the hitbox

[knotty galleon]

@gritty crescent README updated : https://github.com/r4mbo7/babaisyou 🙂

[gritty crescent]

where do you clone the repo

[knotty galleon]

I don't think I should add that in the setup instructions :p

[gritty crescent]

@deft vine could you tell me how to run the 2nd script in the bg

[deft vine]

Idk I am very new

@mint zenith Hey, man

Thanks for the support yesterday

Are you there?

[mint zenith]

Hello

You're welcome

[burnt stump]

@mint zenith I've restructured my deletion code

instead of blipping the whole line, it just blips the last char

it's more efficient

I've also created that console class I've told you of

Wanna see how it looks like?

[mint zenith]

Sounds good

Sure

[burnt stump]

@mint zenith, here it is:

https://pastebin.com/2L9pVFmz

I think it looks pretty now 🙂

[mint zenith]

Yes, it is

[burnt stump]

There are just some changes I'll make. E.g, that multiline thing

Can I just leave the accelerated 3D code there?

[mint zenith]

I don't know what you are referring to

[burnt stump]

I added some 3D acceleration into the code

pygame.display.set_mode((event.w, event.h), pygame.RESIZABLE | pygame.HWSURFACE | pygame.DOUBLEBUF, 8)

[mint zenith]

I don't know anything about that

[burnt stump]

It's supposed to make screen drawing faster and smoother if you have a 3D card

I'm always amazed at how compact Python can be, btw

Even though it's still not very functional, this app only has 132 lines and has quite a few advanced features

[heady edge]

How do I add mutagen to my files?

[iron galleon]

@knotty galleon you should post your game in #303934982764625920 once you've added an open source license. it looks awesome!

[zinc pike]

is there a way to make an android app in python?

[frozen knoll]

I think Kivy is your best bet for that.

[zinc pike]

okay thank you so much

[zinc pike]

do I really have to pay 25 bucks to get a google play store developer account?

[gritty crescent]

yup

[fervent rose]

Steam is 100 bucks, be happy

[gritty crescent]

lmao i didnt even know that was possible

[fervent rose]

Oh and steam is per freakin' game

[gritty crescent]

true

[zinc pike]

Steam is 100 bucks, be happy :rooThink:
@fervent rose but i have no credit crad -.-

[fervent rose]

EGS is free though

[gritty crescent]

you do not need a credit card

[dreamy swan]

EGS is a pain
Their EULA is confusing

[cedar pendant]

Hello! Well am a novice in python. I have a project that demands me to create an app so I decided to go in for tic tac toe. Am at the level of making the buttons work now i.e the function I need to make the buttons work properly. Am using classes just to note. Need some help please.

[deft vine]

EULA is bad

[frozen knoll]

Hi, if you are interested in making card games, here's a tutorial I just finished:

https://arcade.academy/tutorials/card_game/index.html

[onyx granite]

@frozen knoll Very cool project i write my snake game 🙂

[spark river]

hello guys, I'm having a small issue

I'm willing to put a small instruction on my object as soon as it is created, but i get this error

    def __init__(self, image, position, kind = False):

        self.image = pygame.image.load(image)    #image a text directory
        self.kind = kind                         #if the ship is an ally ship or not (a boole)

        self.position = position                 #The position of the ship (x, y)

        self.Rect = pygame.Rect(self.position[0], self.position[1], self.image.get_size[0], self.image.get_size[1])                #hitbox

    shipsList.append(self)                       #to add it in the list```

the code

and here is the error

the name 'self' is not defined

if someone can help me out please

shipList is a list and it is already created

[warped spire]

@spark river Your last line is badly indented, so it's out of the __init__ scope.

[spark river]

ohh, so vicioys

I didn't think that it actually had to be in tje __init__ function

[warped spire]

you could create an instance of ship and add it to the list (outside of the initialization) though.

exactly 🙂

[spark river]

Humm yeah tbh I just wanted to make it a way difficult

thank you pal

[warped spire]

o/

[tame chasm]

I have a doubt, what's the reason for the attribute name "kind"?

[desert crypt]

hey im a noob at python but what does elif means

[near wedge]

@desert crypt It's what Python uses for "else if"

[desert crypt]

ohhhh ok thanks!

[dreamy swan]

Ok, so two questions.
1: How possible is it to make a text based rpg without using many libraries...
2: How good would this work as a start to a weapon system?

class weapon:
    type = "melee"
    
    def __init__(self, name, damage, range):
        self.name = name
        self.damage = damage
        self.range = range


knife = weapon("Knife of Kings", 20, .5)
sword = weapon("Guardsmen's Sword", 50, 1) ```

Sorry... the print is so I could test it a bit

There

[umbral fulcrum]

I can imagine what you're trying to do. But i didn't quite understand why you're worrying about using too many libraries

If you want to make a simple input based game, i don't think you'll need too many libraries

And as I have no idea about format of your game, I'm not able answer your second question

[dreamy swan]

The second question was more of a broad statement
I just started using OOP today

And I’m making it on mobile rn so libraries are a pain

As in using a mobile IDE

[pearl urchin]

it's not as bad as using an ide that can't indent on mobile

[umbral fulcrum]

I had this issue when i tried to run my game on a computer that doesn't have audio drivers installed. Because there were some sound effects in game, i had an error. Than I removed all sound effect code lines but it was too unnecessary. I thought maybe I can play the sounds if i can, but it requires too many if-else statement. What would you guys do in this situation?

I was using pygame

[dreamy swan]

Just use try: except statements
If it throws an error, runs the exception

[umbral fulcrum]

Same with if-else way, there'll be too many try-except statements

[dreamy swan]

I’m biased in the fact that my code usually has way too much of else anyway, so I would just start typing the statements, but you can probably make it easier by using an if statement to make a variable true if the drivers are there, and only use that variable instead of the whole thing to check

[atomic sigil]

Quick question: Anyone know why the window opened from my code doesnt line up with my monitor?

Its the same exact dimensions but the window is a bit off to the right of my screen

[merry echo]

What library are you using? Have you tried setting the window position to 0, 0?

[atomic sigil]

I'm using arcade, do you know the function to set where the window is?

[merry echo]

It's set_location(x, y)

https://arcade.academy/arcade.html?highlight=window#arcade.Window.set_location

Looks like they've also added center_window() now aswell for centering the window if you want that

[atomic sigil]

Sweet! thanks

[pliant dust]

@umbral fulcrum with that many if/else statements, would you be better off creating a single function for playing a sound, which takes an argument of the sound played, and within the function is the try/except statement?

[visual pelican]

so idk if you can call this game-development (I am not using pygame) I am a beginner and trying to figure out why my script is not working properly. (I am making a hangman game)

pretty much when I run it and then I write a letter in, it just doesn't finish the script of anything

[frank oriole]

do this: if x.upper() in word_list: for i in range(len(word_list)): if word_list[i] == x.upper(): word_solve[i] = x.upper()

[indigo ermine]

Is Kivy better than Pygame for windows game development?

[frozen knoll]

What are you trying to make? What are you looking for? "Better" depends on this and more.

Take a look at the examples on their websites. Maybe look at Arcade and Pyglet too for even more good options so.

[dreamy swan]

Arcade is best
runs

[indigo ermine]

I'm just trying to make a basic game

Like I want to make an over the top snake game

with powerups and stuff

but I can't even make snake game yet lol so I should start with that

[limpid grail]

I'm relatively new to Python, what should I do to get from outputting to a console, to coding things in a web browser

Like is there anything to look into? I heard about pygame but idk much about it

[indigo ermine]

You wanna make a game in a browser?

[tacit spruce]

Hi, where should I start if I want to start coding games?

[dreamy swan]

Here is one place

https://learn.arcade.academy

As well as

https://www.pygame.org/wiki/GettingStarted

[gritty crescent]

Hi, how could I add a background music in loop?

[indigo ermine]

Do a while True with the music?

But then I think all of your code needs to be in the while loop

Not sure

[gritty crescent]

it already is

what i meant is that i've seen a command with play(music) and you have to type -1 but i don't have the basic structure and lines

[umbral fulcrum]

What are you working with? Which framework or engine? @gritty crescent

@pliant dust I'll probably do something like that. But I kinda wondered how people deal with these problems in bigger projects.. In games, there too many options like this

[gritty crescent]

@umbral fulcrum i'm working on pycharm

[pliant dust]

@umbral fulcrum the way I have heard it is follow the idea of DRY code, Don’t Repeat Yourself. Anything that you code a second time should be changed to a function/ condensed down. In this way, you only ever have to worry about try/except items for certain areas. Furthermore, there are ways to normalize the code, so that it accesses the right area every time if you are grabbing images, or other files. Other games will ensure that anything that is in question for a computer will have those unknown items in the files with the game(such as a font). The simple answer is that they troubleshoot, and do what they need to do so the game is accessible.

[echo harness]

How is python, being an interpreted language, is viable for game dev. I don't mean this in a nasty way, I just want to know how people are using it, I love Python and I want to use it to make games, but I just want to make sure it works

[fervent rose]

It can be used as the main language for 2d games very easily, and it is often embedded in bigger 3d games (even AAA), used by artists most of the time

[dawn quiver]

lua just use lua

[formal forge]

how do i get started?

with like the basics of pygame

and/or game-development

[frozen knoll]

I'd suggest https://learn.arcade.academy

[pliant dust]

@dawn quiver this is off topic of this thread, but I’m curious, why Lua, and what engine are you using to run/code it?

[dawn quiver]

i personally use godot game engine

but i saw lua code and some videos on it, and as a python guy, it looks almost identical or at least very easy to learn

there are many frameworks and engines / editors for lua

mainly because it's fast compared to python

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8yltebgm-w&list=PLS9MbmO_ssyBf6rqCLj0nwaz_uCJ8_XZq&index=4

            win.blit(morte,(380,0)) 

like this ?

[umbral fulcrum]

exactly

and it seems like there are some wrong tabs or spaces, it makes it really hard to read on mobile

[static quail]

I don't know how make differente

[umbral fulcrum]

I guess this isn't the entire code, i'm not able to understand what is pommes

[static quail]

this is my game

and pomme it's name of objet who down

and when objet who down touch fish , the red heart replace to dead head

[umbral fulcrum]

So, what's the error?

[static quail]

when i make this https://discordapp.com/channels/267624335836053506/660625198390837248/717049491961937971

img blit on 1 juste 1frame

and i want blit all time that fish have heart

I want that when the fish comes in colision with the object the hearts this face replaced by another image

and I do the condition and I put display the image , the image appear only for 1s

[umbral fulcrum]

Alright, the first thing came to my mind is like this:

health = 5 #as much as you want
death = 0 #default

offset = 5 #pixel

heart_image = None 
skull_image = None #these last two will be your images

starting_position = (0, 0) #the position where will you first heart image will be
for x in range(death):
  surface.blit(skull_image, (starting_position[0] + x*offset, starting_position[1]))
for x in range(health-death):
  surface.blit(skull_image, (starting_position[0] + (x + death)*offset, starting_position[1]))

There might be a better and optimized way to do this task, but I might use this

as your fish loses his health, death number will increase

[static quail]

why make list ?

no sorry

ok i see this

[static quail]

you mean as soon as the picture gets displayed on the screen it disappears?

[umbral fulcrum]

I didn't quite understand what you meant, but let me explain what I've done

After declaration, first for loop blits the skull images, second one blits heart images

offset is the distance between images

Every time you blit and image, the position must increase by offset

So the next image wont be blitted to same position

To do that, I used x variable from for loops

After blitting every skull image, as the hearts will be next the and after skull images, we need to increase by death * offset , and as usual`we'll use x * offset too. Shortly, (x+death)*offset

[static quail]

mh no sorry it' s not this

i want juste blit image but

this image

pucture appears and desappears

[tough bridge]

yo bois is pygame logical stuff and phsyics hard

for making a game

[umbral fulcrum]

If you're trying to make everything easily in minutes like in Unity, no. But when you get used to it, it gives you wide-open space to build so many things you want.

[tough bridge]

i am willing

invest alot of time

to make a nice game

for my project

[umbral fulcrum]

But there is also Arcade that i haven't tried before

You can check their documents and decide which one you want to use

[tough bridge]

i just dont understand how game physics work

with ticks and stuff

[umbral fulcrum]

This might be a good start for you

[tough bridge]

ill check it out

is there like a couple hour course on yt

[umbral fulcrum]

To understand game mechanics step by step

This might be a good start for you

There are plenty resources, but i personally laerned Pygame by it's own documents

https://www.pygame.org/docs/

[tough bridge]

what is better

[umbral fulcrum]

I can't decide that, but if you're a beginner, you can search on youtube and see what's going on

[tough bridge]

im willing to learn anything

even hard stuff

just have to understand it

u can use unity with python?

[umbral fulcrum]

Nope

Unity is game engine, and uses C#

[tough bridge]

c++ and c#

c++ is unreal engine right

[umbral fulcrum]

pucture appears and desappears
@static quail does that appearing and dissappearing happen continuously?

Or, just one time?

Could someone compare the two?

Because even though I followed along

the result I got was completely different

[fervent rose]

yo bois is pygame logical stuff and phsyics hard
@tough bridge physics is hard yeah, but I yet to see a case where you actually need to implement your own physics engine, there will always be an open source one that fits your needs

[cold storm]

😄

[fervent rose]

That's a cool setup, the nodes looks like hell haha

[umbral fulcrum]

Which program are you using @cold storm, it looks awesome

[fervent rose]

It is blender

[broken sequoia]

hey guys, I'm making a text based rpg

how do I make it balanced

e.g. enemy hp and dmg, cost of buying heals, etc.

[cold storm]

it's UPBGE fork of blender @umbral fulcrum

and I am using nodes + python to get the effect

[umbral fulcrum]

Sounds fun

@broken sequoia What do you mean by balanced?

You need to create many classes to keep your game tidy, and work organized. A class for messages, every character, effect, attack, weapon etc.

At least, this is how I would do it

[broken sequoia]

balanced as in game balance:

not too hard, not to easy

is it a good idea to have enemy health scale w player damage and enemy damage skill with player health

[bright jungle]

@broken sequoia you gotta just keep play testing it and change it as you go. there's not really a go to formula for it. I guess you could always look at stats for D&D monsters compared to players and get an idea of HP and damage done.

[broken sequoia]

ok lol

[broken sequoia]

close!

[atomic sigil]

hey, i was wondering if you guys favored arcade or pygame?

as a lib

[willow pecan]

pygame

[atomic sigil]

any reason why?

[fervent rose]

Arcade for sure, for its OOP nature, and all the fancy stuff it has, like tilemap support and levels

[atomic sigil]

late response but why does pygame seem more popular then?

@fervent rose

[cold storm]

because no one knows about upbge 😛

pygame and pyarcade are good don't get me wrong

but if you understand how to use blender bpy + bge

you become quite godlike with that engine.

I need to get better at C though to be able to help maintain the thing

@near wedge you helped make the orignal eh?

have you tried the fork lately?

[frank field]

Hey @cold storm!

It looks like you tried to attach file type(s) that we do not allow (.blend). We currently allow the following file types: .3gp, .3g2, .avi, .bmp, .gif, .h264, .jpg, .jpeg, .m4v, .mkv, .mov, .mp4, .mpeg, .mpg, .png, .tiff, .wmv, .svg, .psd, .ai, .aep, .xcf, .mp3, .wav, .ogg.

Feel free to ask in #community-meta if you think this is a mistake.

[cold storm]

I tried to share the file so people could see it but it won't let me here yet

[near wedge]

@cold storm I didn't help with the initial BGE implementation, but I did work on it for quite a while.

[cold storm]

it's at feature parity with the old upbge now

a few things need fixing though

(TAA is still pretty weird)

like if anything moves it throws out all the samples

[near wedge]

Erwin Coumans was one of the main people behind the initial BGE. I'm sure there were others, but his name was on some docs and such.

[cold storm]

yeah we are still wrapping bullet too

nothing has changed really except soft body needs re-wrapped

(as we are using bpy mesh structures now instead of KX_MeshProxy)

there is a system to make vehicle constraints easier

oh tristan added in breaking threshold for rigid body joint

so you can hit things hard enough and they break

basically though it's ready for more developers I think - youle cut out all the old unused includes the other day

we are using the same format as master too

clang or whatever

I’m trying to download pygame

And this is their website rn

Wtf

[earnest canyon]

Use pip

[whole goblet]

pip install pygame? I tried it gives some error

[earnest canyon]

Go to command promp
And write:

cough cough if you scroll down

[dawn quiver]

has it been hacked or has the creator changed it

has anyone used Google Firebase with python ? I am using Firebase library for it and have already setup Sign Up system with it but now want to setup a persistent login system with it... How could I do that ?

[buoyant python]

Hey. Pretty new to python and pygame specifically. But basically is there any way of turning a polygon in pygame?

[frozen knoll]

In pygame it isn't that easy.

I think the easiest way it to blit it to a surface, then rotate the surface.

You'll need to keep the original, and show the rotated one.

Pygame is kind of annoying for rotated sprites and shapes in my opinion.

[buoyant python]

Right. See originally I was thinking I would have to changing the coordinates of the points

[frozen knoll]

You could. That would take some math. Think I've got that somewhere.

Here:

https://github.com/pvcraven/arcade/blob/master/arcade/drawing_support.py#L88

[dreamy swan]

Hey Paul, that is for arcade I think lol

[frozen knoll]

Yes, but the math there lets you rotate points.

You can take that function and use it in your own work.

[dreamy swan]

Ah i see

[frozen knoll]

Rotating polygons, shapes, and sprites in Arcade is pretty easy if you aren't set on Pygame. But it is still totally possible in Pygame with a few extra hoops to jump through.

[civic glacier]

Hi

I have with my code!

Problem

Is the thing I am creating a pangame using class method but I have problems with key movement how can add that mine class?

Using tertle module

i had a fucking stroke reading that

what is a pangame ?

[umbral fulcrum]

@civic glacier If you paste you code using (`) three times before and after your code, and also paste your error message here, we may try to help you

[dreamy swan]

So I want to make a class inside of a class...
So I know how to make and use a class, as I already have it implemented. But I want to do something like Enemies.Melee but can’t figure out how to... any ideas?

Because having a Melee class is annoying when I have melee weapons

[gaunt monolith]

Defining classes inside classes can work, but it's not really that common. Why aren't you just leaving them in the same module, and then not using from imports?

[ashen sleet]

@unique laurel Sorry this is a few days late, but regarding your question in #cybersecurity a good license to use if you want to open-source but retain all copyrights is Apache 2.0

[unique laurel]

Ooo! Thank you!

[dreamy swan]

@gaunt monolith ?
I don’t understand what you mean by “the same module”

[gaunt monolith]

@dreamy swan In the same .py file, so when importing you can reference them as enemy.Enemy, enemy.Melee

[dreamy swan]

I’m sorry, but I still don’t understand
I guess I’m just stuck on using classes

[gaunt monolith]

Nesting classes doesn't do anything special in Python. Do you just want to inherit?

[dreamy swan]

I’m guessing that is what I want
I’m wanting something like a main class called weapons
Then a class inside of that called melee so I can do something like sword = Weapon.Melee(<params>) to define it

[gaunt monolith]

That wouldn't be a class, that would just be a module - the .py file the class is contained in.

[dreamy swan]

I’ll take a look at it...

[lapis lantern]

is anyone available right now for a call need to discuss a few things regarding pygame

[umbral fulcrum]

Not available for a call, I can try to help

[lapis lantern]

import pygame
import sys

pygame.init()

size = width, height = 800,600
speed = [1,0]
black = 23, 23, 3

screen = pygame.display.set_mode(size)

ball = pygame.image.load("ball.gif").convert()
ballrect = ball.get_rect()


counter = 0
while 1:
    counter +=1
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT: sys.exit()
    ballrect=ballrect.move(speed)
    print(ballrect.left,speed[0])

    if ballrect.right > width or ballrect.left < 0:
        speed[0] = -speed[0]

    screen.fill(black)
    screen.blit(ball, ballrect)
    pygame.display.flip()
    if counter % 100:
        speed[0] += 0.2

why this is making the ball go offscreen

[umbral fulcrum]

You're not using any clock or something else to make your game work in a decent frame rate. Maybe that's why your game might be finishing very fast.

[lapis lantern]

maybe thats why the ball starts to gain more speed when the simulation runs longer even if i don't increment speed

[umbral fulcrum]

Yeap, every 100 frame, you're incresing you speed by 0.2, and i don't know the amount but there must be too many frame in a second right now

[lapis lantern]

so how do i implement clock as u said

[umbral fulcrum]

pygame.time.Clock() is the object

[lapis lantern]

also can u link me the official documentation can't find it

[umbral fulcrum]

https://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/time.html

[lapis lantern]

thanks a lot

You're welcome, good luck

@dawn quiver do you wanna make a offline or online game? If online, you'll need a database. If you want to make something that will count the players score and display it on the screen whenever needed, you can simply store the data in a json file and then maybe if you don't want the player to change the score by hand, you can try encrypting your data.

I’m a bit new to python and im getting started with pygame. Can anyone tell me why this code says it’s an invalid destination position for blit?

PlayerImg = pygame.image.load(‘pixel_ship_yellow.png’)
PlayerX = 500
PlayerY = 500

Def player():
Screen.blit(playerImg, playerX, playerY)

It still says that it is an invalid destination for blit

[dawn quiver]

@warped peak blit wants a tuple, try Screen.blit(playerImg, (playerX, playerY))

Need to load it as an image first, you're just passing in the string of the filename

Lua isn't as unpopular as you make it out to be. Other games have embedded it to allow for mods and scripting e.g. World of Warcraft and Gary's mod

Use pygame events to detect a mouse click event

I forgot the exact syntax, googling it will suffice

 [1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1]]

and i want to find the 0s in row 6

so i assume i would need to loop through the matrix

but how would i tell the matrix to remember the first 0s it encounters on the corresponding diagonal

or i should say the program, not the matrix

hmm

maybe i can use a while loop

while the values are 1, keep checking

until it hits a 0

then save the coordinates

@rancid inlet thanks mate, I'll watch that tutorial

[rancid inlet]

np

[vagrant crescent]

@rancid inlet if you already know which row and column the specific element is in, you can just use x[5][1] where x = the matrix to find the element on the 6th row and 2nd column :)

[rancid inlet]

the thing is its going to change

im coding a chess engine

this represents the legal moves for one of white's bishops

or will once i finish it

[vagrant crescent]

ohh, i see

are you trying to find one specific 0 each time, or many

[rancid inlet]

it might help if i post my code

[vagrant crescent]

yeah, i cant guarantee i can help, but i'll try my best :)

    def __init__(self):

    def Bishop_Moves(self):
        self.bishop_board = np.zeros((8, 8)).astype(int)
        self.board_pos = np.zeros((8, 8)).astype(int)
        for x in range(8):
            for y in range(8):
                if self.Board_Pos[x][y] >= 1 and self.Board_Pos[x][y] <= 16:
                    self.board_pos[x][y] = 1
                if self.Board_Pos[x][y] == 11:
                    self.bishop_board[x][y] = 1
                    for i in range(1, 8):

                        if x - i >= 0 and y + i <= 7:
                            self.bishop_board[x - i][y + i] = 1
                        #northwest
                        if x - i >= 0 and y - i >= 0:
                            self.bishop_board[x - i][y - i] = 1
                        #southeast
                        if x + i <= 7 and y + i <= 7:
                            self.bishop_board[x + i][y + i] = 1
                        #southwest
                        if x + i <= 7 and y - i >= 0:
                            self.bishop[x + i][y - i] = 1
        legal_bishop_moves = np.bitwise_and(self.bishop_board, self.board_pos)
        print(self.board_pos)
        print(self.bishop_board)            
        print(legal_bishop_moves)

this is what i have so far

so im using a bitwise_xor operator on the bishop's potential legal moves which is assigned to self.bishop_board

and the board position

which is assigned to self.board_pos

im just checking the white pieces first

then i will check the black pieces

and then bitwise_and the two resulting matrices

which should give me a final matrix with 1s only in the legal squares for the bishop

but what i need to do first is turn off all illegal squares

since bitwise_xor doesnt get all of them

it just turns off the squares if a white piece is already there

not the empty squares behind it

hmm

maybe instead of checking from row 0 to row 7

i check from row 7 to row 0

that way

if the adjacent square is a legal move

it would be a 1

and i continue to check until i hit a 0

then every square after that gets flipped to 0

yeah i think that will work

[vagrant crescent]

well, now i think i'm more lost than you are

but i'm glad you figured it out(?)

[rancid inlet]

lol

[vagrant crescent]

but if you're looking to save coordinates, maybe you could create a list and append it with the coordinates whenever a requirement is met?

[rancid inlet]

actually i dont think a while loop will work

but i should be able to use a for loop and an if statement

[vagrant crescent]

yeah, that sounds good

[rancid inlet]

hmm

[vagrant crescent]

and you can append the i, j directly to the list

[rancid inlet]

is there a way to stop a for loop before it exhausts its range?

[vagrant crescent]

yeah, you can use break

[rancid inlet]

how do i use that?

[vagrant crescent]

you can have an if statement within a for loop, and the if statement states under what condition should the for loop be broken

[rancid inlet]

ok

so im thinking something like this

[vagrant crescent]

something like this

[rancid inlet]

for i in range(7):
  if legal_bishop_moves[x][y] == 0:
    for ...:
      code to turn the rest of the squares to 0
    break

and that will stop the first for loop?

ok

cool

[vagrant crescent]

did it work

[rancid inlet]

havent written the code yet

[vagrant crescent]

oh yeah, i just noticed

are you using

for x in range(8):
            for y in range(8):

to scroll through the entire board?

[rancid inlet]

yes

its to find where the bishop is

and also to find the position of the other white pieces so i can create matrices and perform bitwise operations on them

[vagrant crescent]

oh alright :D

[rancid inlet]

is there a more efficient way of doing that?

[vagrant crescent]

no, i just saw the bottom part of the code and realized that it needed to be done that way

[rancid inlet]

ah ok

sorry i should write more comments

[vagrant crescent]

yeah it helps with code readability

but honestly, it seems like you pretty much know what you're doing :D

[rancid inlet]

im surprised honestly

[vagrant crescent]

it's a good thing haha

[rancid inlet]

im pretty new to coding

[vagrant crescent]

yeah, but your logic ability looks pretty good

[rancid inlet]

well thats good

[vagrant crescent]

much better than mine anyways

[rancid inlet]

wdym by logic?

[vagrant crescent]

like the ability to organize your code, know what has to be done etc

[rancid inlet]

ah

thats just my math brain figuring stuff out

[vagrant crescent]

i think you're gonna do well on programming honestly

anyways, it's pretty cool to see people working on bigger projects like these, and i hope it works out really well for you

[rancid inlet]

thanks

i hope it works out too

[tall pewter]

Btw guys

Is Pygame better than love2d?

Or love2d is better?

[potent ice]

There is no answer to that question.

[warped peak]

He meant to say, which is your prefered choice, so that he can make an educated choice.

[dawn quiver]

its rhetorical

[frozen knoll]

Kind of like chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, or peanut butter cookie. What's the best?

...and there's a good chance your favorite cookie was left out.

[cold storm]

yeah there are many good pipelines

and some are better for certain sections than others

upbge for instance is really good for content creation / WYSIWYG but lacks many publishing options like consoles / mobile

Armoury has a ton of potential / + bugs (and does not use py 😦 )

Godot is pretty cool but again - the fact that it does not use real py is a deal killer

panda3d looks cool to me

but I wish someone wrapped it in blender with a UI in a addon

(so it was WYSIWYG like upbge)

[dawn quiver]

godot is a deal killer for not using a language that is just slow at games? like what

Hi, a python noob here. Want to make an AI that can play the board game RISK with me. Any tips on how I can get it to 'visualize' a gameboard? If possible, I'd like to also make the game playable on the computer..

Hello, pygame users

I have a question. How can I scale the window up while keeping it proportional to a 640 x 480 resolution?
