this dude oskar stalberg is freaking cool

How would I go about making a double jump feature in pygame?
This is my code for jumping
sprites.py

    def jump_cut(self):
        if self.jumping and self.vel.y < 0:
            self.vel.y *= 0.5

    def jump(self):
        # Check For Platforms
        self.rect.y += 1
        hits = pg.sprite.spritecollide(self, self.game.platforms, False)
        hits_1 = pg.sprite.spritecollide(self, self.game.small_box, False)
        hits_coin = pg.sprite.spritecollide(self, self.game.items, False)
        self.rect.y -= 1
        if hits and not self.jumping:
            self.game.jump_sound.play()
            self.jumping = True
            self.vel.y = -PLAYER_JUMP

        if hits_1 and not self.jumping:
            self.game.jump_sound.play()
            self.jumping = True
            self.vel.y = -PLAYER_JUMP

main.py

    def events(self):
        # Game Loop - Events
        # Game Loop - Update
        for event in pg.event.get():
            # Closing Window
            if event.type == pg.QUIT:
                if self.playing:
                    self.playing = False
                self.running = False
            if event.type == pg.KEYDOWN:
                if event.key == pg.K_w:
                    
                    self.player.jump()

            if event.type == pg.KEYUP:
                if event.key == pg.K_w:
                    self.player.jump_cut()

Any help would be good

@vestal vessel like you'd do any kind of 3d modeling tbh, you start with some primitive, extrude into all the different tower, bevel all this sh*t, make the roofs with a mirror modifier because you're lazy, add the stairs and the other details (windows, thingys on the roofs, doorways...) and then texturing

#

Although thanks you, because this is going into my inspiration box lemon_fingerguns

vestal vessel Sep 2, 2020, 7:46 AM

#

Ahh sweet thnx for the info sounds easy lol. Hopefully its ez as u make it sound haha. N ur wc

#

Textering seems the harded :()

fervent rose Sep 2, 2020, 7:57 AM

#

IMO it is the easiest here

#

With some very basic technique you can do some cool stuff

Can you screenshot it, I'm on mobile please ?

vestal vessel Sep 2, 2020, 8:02 AM

haha well im just getting in 3d modeling

#

let me send u a video then

#

📎 pc.mp4

#

the most fascinating thing about it is

#

when u actually destroy the middle bit

#

it will implement the structure the whole structure based on that

#

but i wanna implement more of earlier artstyle on this. well thats not the issue atm haha

fervent rose Sep 2, 2020, 8:09 AM

#

The video doesn't play smh

#

But I'm guessing based on what you place, it generates the rest of the structure?

vestal vessel Sep 2, 2020, 8:11 AM

#

yes

#

? how do u accomplish that

#

its mp4 lul 🙃

fervent rose Sep 2, 2020, 8:12 AM

#

Phone says the video is corrupted

#

It might be the wavefunction collapse algorithm

#

Hold on

#

This https://github.com/mxgmn/WaveFunctionCollapse

GitHub

mxgmn/WaveFunctionCollapse

Bitmap & tilemap generation from a single example with the help of ideas from quantum mechanics - mxgmn/WaveFunctionCollapse

#

It generates a larger image based on a small sample

#

This algorithm is crazily simple but awesome

#

There's a "Higher dimensions" section at the end

nvm freak the video

#

i wanna make something like the game townscaper is implementing ?? 😄

#

def gonna learn how to make the artstyle adapted with that game

#

this game arts really breath taking

fervent rose Sep 2, 2020, 9:02 AM

#

Riiiight I see

#

Basically, for every square, you choose the asset you want to draw depending on the current type and the the neighborhood squares

#

You'd want each asset to be as modular as possible, so you can fit them together seamlessly

#

Sometimes you'd even have many modular meshes inside the same square

#

About the style of the game, it looks like low poly with some stylized drawing-like texture, if you want to Google that

vestal vessel Sep 2, 2020, 9:11 AM

@dawn quiver I am not the best at it

#

But I can understand a bit of it

#

So on the right side 0-9 decimal is represented by 0-9 hexadecimal only

#

While the letters A-F represent decimal 10-15

#

These are the 16 units

#

While as in binary system which consists of only 1 and 0

#

0 is written as 0000

#

1 as 0001

hum okay

hasty geyser Sep 2, 2020, 6:11 PM

2 as 0010

And so on till 9

A as 1010

Do you know how to convert decimal to binary?

whats the best ide for game development?

near wedge Sep 3, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

If you're looking for a Python IDE, PyCharm is a good one. I wouldn't say there is a "best".

#

VS Code is also a good editor with a lot of plugins available.

acoustic gulch Sep 3, 2020, 4:41 PM

#

alright thanks

night bluff Sep 3, 2020, 4:53 PM

#

vim, vscode, pycharm 😉

#

The first two are more like advanced editors while pycharm is a full IDE

#

What options do I have for rendering a huge point cloud (realtime) in python? Each point is a circle with varaible size and color. Need to be able to explore it.

#

I know this is more related to rendering than games in general

near wedge Sep 3, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

@night bluff I am guessing you'll want a 3D representation of the point cloud? Panda3D would be my go to, but I haven't played around much with the other options (e.g., Pyglet, ModernGL, Ursina).

Hi, here is a question for someone who knows pygame !

I am doing a pac man but when I move my pacman, the older view still there.

Here is the code to move the player:

    def move(self):
        self.pos[0] += self.dir[0]
        self.pos[1] += self.dir[1]

        self.draw()

    def draw(self):
        self.window.blit(self.image, py.Rect(self.pos, self.size))

(self.pos is a tuple representing the position)
(self.dir is a tuple representing the direction equal here to (1, 0))

I am searching where is the problem in my code but... I don't find at all

📎 unknown.png

#

level is a dict containing multiple lists of rects and the player object

📎 unknown.png

#

here is the loop

📎 unknown.png

umbral crow Sep 3, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

how many self draws() do you have

else:
     percentage = (self.groupgathering / self.difficulty) * 100

     if random.randrange(0,100) < percentage:
       self.success()
     else:
       self.failure()

#

If the player's skill in that particular task (groupgathering) is lower than the required level (difficulty)

#

the player can still attempt to do it and have some % chance of succeding

#

depending on how close they are to the difficulty

#

however, it always fails, no matter what, even if the percentage should be eg. 97%

#

It should almost always suceed in that case, but it doesn't work

#

it always fails even after minutes of trying

acoustic gulch Sep 3, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

guys is the tkinter module alright for python game development?

placid wigeon Sep 3, 2020, 6:39 PM

#

I have no idea why this doesn't work

#

I tried to hard-code some values such as eg. to check if it's exactly 50% of the difficulty

#

and then it works and sometimes fails and sometimes suceeds

#

but when I try to make a general one like this

#

it always fails

umbral crow Sep 3, 2020, 6:41 PM

#

do you have an idea of what groupgathering and difficulty values are?

placid wigeon Sep 3, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

When you assign characters to a particular task, their individual gathering skill in that particular resource is added to the tasks's groupgathering attribute, because you can assign more then one character to a task

#

eg. Character1 has 5 in food gathering

#

Character2 has 4

#

when you assign them both to the same task their skills are added together as the groupgathering

#

so you get 9

#

and the groupgathering is compared with the difficulty to see if the expediton succeds or not

#

the succeeding part works fine

#

but the failing part doesn't

#

It shouldn't matter how small the values are since this is percentage

#

25/50 and 2/4 are both 50%

sacred trout Sep 3, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

You should print all those values to see if they correspond to what you think they are ;)

placid wigeon Sep 3, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

🤔

#

Hey, I’d like to build a google maps like feature with my own game map where you can click on pins and it’ll give you more data about that location or the player instantly travels to that location. It would be awesome if you could zoom in and out and the pins stay the same size... is that possible with pygame? Or is there another way to do it? Do you have any suggestions as to which libraries/functions could be useful for that? Thx!!

placid wigeon Sep 3, 2020, 7:34 PM

#

@sacred trout I think... I found the problem?

#

If I print the percentage, it shows up as 0

#

even though it should be 50

#

Why isn't it correctly set to what it should be?

#

if self.groupgathering > self.difficulty:
  difference = (self.groupgathering - self.difficulty) * 10
    if random.randrange(0,100) < difference:
      narrator("You received a rare item! (" + self.name + ")")
    else:
      pass

#

This is my primitive version of the rare item check

#

I do it the exact same way as the percentage code

#

and it works

#

but here the percentage always stays as 0

#

Should make it an attribute of the class?

#

and then later clear it?

#

as an attribute used temporarily, like my groupgathering?

#

Alright thanks

#

does he have 2d rpg?

sacred trout Sep 3, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

@placid wigeon its not the same thing, in the first one you have a division and in the 2nd one a subtraction (tho if you want a percentage the first is correct). I think you're using python 2 and dividing two integers, so you have integer division (Aka 2//4=0). Try converting one of them to a float

#

Or use python 3 :p

placid wigeon Sep 3, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

Yeah, the Ren'py engine still uses Python 2

placid wigeon Sep 3, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

It finally works

#

❤️

#

It was all because of Python 2 division

Thank you! @sacred trout

@acoustic gulch There is no "best one." Which one you use will depend on what you're trying to do. I am personally biased toward Panda3D for most use cases.

I think Panda3D might be the only one worthy of the "engine" label. Maybe also Arcade (2D). There rest are graphics libraries.

hm ok

like, the most glaringly obvious one is that pygame doesn't use the GPU for graphics

which means it's much less performant than anything that does.

Arcade is higher level library so at least easier to start with. Can be a spring board for trying out other graphics libraries or engines.

@potent ice thank you so much, I searched on discord and nothing came up!

#

I think Pyglet is a little out of my reach in terms of Python knowledge at the moment. I'm going to try Arcade which is built on top of it and seems to be a little more beginner friendly. I'll come back to it once I understand event dispatchers and things like decorators.

potent ice Sep 5, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

Yes. It's higher level

#

You can always try pyglet later. A lot lot of the things you do in arcade is useful in pyglet as well.

#

Even pygame

Pygame drove me nuts for some reason, took me ages to understand it because I've come from PICO-8.

I might give it another go, the steps to get stuff onto screen seemed to be a lot from what I remember.

placid wigeon Sep 6, 2020, 10:55 AM

#

Something very strange is happening with my lists

#

I have a system in my game where after the expedition there is a status report eg. (character1, character2 and character3 are now tired!)

#

This is achieved by creating a list of characters that are assigned to a specific task and then the first part is a string created with
', '.join that includes all elements of the list except the last one

#

which is then later summoned with the negative index

#

This works perfectly fine in one place, but in the other place the same code doesn't work

#

And some really strange things happen

delicate cliff Sep 6, 2020, 11:02 AM

#

Well, what's the code, and what happens? @placid wigeon

placid wigeon Sep 6, 2020, 11:03 AM

#

This is how this is implemented in the failure code, for example

#

            if len(self.list) > 1:
                self.result = ', '.join(self.list[:-1])
                self.characters_secondpart = self.list[-1]
            else:
                pass

        def failure(self):
            global injured_list

            self.report_generate()
            narrator("The expedition in search for " + self.name + " has failed!")
            if len(self.list) == 1:
                narrator(self.list[0] + " is now gravely tired!")
            elif len(self.list) >= 2:
                narrator(self.result + " and " + self.characters_secondpart + " are now gravely tired!")```

#

This works perfectly and just as intended

#

📎 unknown.png

#

I have implemented a system where when an expedition fails, it's possible for characters to become injured

#

when a certain task fails and injuries occur, the characters that were assigned to it (eg. were in the list of characters assigned to a given task) are then added to a special injured_list

#

and a very similar code is in the injured() function

#

but it doesn't work as intended

#

I think it's something weird related to the .extend command?

#

📎 unknown.png

#

For some reason, the characters from the assignment list are added to the injured_list once as elements, and then second time as a list within a list?

#

I have no idea why this happens

#

if month == "April":
                if random.randrange(0,100) < 99: #it's 100% probability for testing purposes
                    injured_list.extend(self.list)
                else:
                    pass```

#

this is the code responsible for adding the elements from a task list to the injured_list

#

extend should add the elements as actual elements, right?

#

Why does it do that and then adds the entire list again, but as a list?

#

I have no idea why this happens

delicate cliff Sep 6, 2020, 11:28 AM

#

It says on line 18 in "injured" that you're making the call narrator(injured_list). But shouldn't that argument be a string, not a list?

#

@placid wigeon

placid wigeon Sep 6, 2020, 11:31 AM

#

Yes yes, I did this just to show you the error message and the weird string in full

#

📎 unknown.png

#

This is how it looks like in game

tired fjord Sep 6, 2020, 11:35 AM

#

is unity good for developing in python?

placid wigeon Sep 6, 2020, 11:35 AM

#

the list contains the elements of the other lists and then contains the same elements as a list within a list at the end

#

I have absolutely no idea why

#

@tired fjord Unity doesn't support Python

tired fjord Sep 6, 2020, 11:37 AM

#

there is a way to use python in unity though

placid wigeon Sep 6, 2020, 11:43 AM

#

@delicate cliff If I do this with two characters assigned instead of three, this happens

#

📎 unknown.png

#

Something very weird is going on

#

I don't get why the list gets duplicated

#

the only code that modifies/adds something to it is the .extend command

#

otherwise it is empty

delicate cliff Sep 6, 2020, 11:54 AM

#

If that injured_list.extend(self.list) is the only thing that modifies the injured_list, then you need to look further into self.list. Since .extend just puts the elements of self.list into injured_list, then self.list must at some point have a list as an element @placid wigeon

placid wigeon Sep 6, 2020, 11:55 AM

#

But that's impossible, since when identical code is used to generate the general status report using only the self.list, it works just fine

#

📎 unknown.png

#

With self.list it works perfectly

#

but with the extended injured_list the elements are somehow added twice

#

Maybe I should just try deleting the last element?

#

I don't know where it comes from but I can maybe just delete it?

#

Doesn't work

#

📎 unknown.png

#

it deletes the last real element

#

but the duplicate is still created and can't be removed

What is going on here

last moon Sep 6, 2020, 12:02 PM

@tired fjord not that I’m aware of, there are some libraries that use hooks to c(++) graphics stuff but nothing with unity/ue

placid wigeon Sep 6, 2020, 12:03 PM

#

Maybe I can just try using the penultimate element instead of the last one?

#

It works if I use the penultimate element instead of the last one

teal oyster Sep 7, 2020, 12:51 AM

what about making different paths

umbral crow Sep 7, 2020, 12:56 AM

#

maybe you can also assign diff values with the choices
ex
you define some variable with a bool
BLT = False
if the player took the BLT, you would make the variable True and if they didnt then you leave it at False
then you can check on the value and execute the right path

That depends on what you want to do, @dawn quiver

#

RenPy is a very nicely made engine for visual novels, and is very extensible and customizable if you're experienced with python

#

Right now I'm working on an RPG in it

#

pygame is a common choice for games with more real time interactivity, although I have next to zero experience with it personally

#

There is a 3D game engine for python as well, Ursina

#

There is a 3D game engine for python as well, Ursina

    Game.bind("<KeyPress-a>", lambda *args: getaxis(-1))
    Game.bind("<KeyPress-Right>", lambda *args: getaxis(1))
    Game.bind("<KeyPress-d>", lambda *args: getaxis(1))

    Game.bind("<KeyRelease-Right>", lambda *args: getaxis(0))
    Game.bind("<KeyRelease-d>", lambda *args: getaxis(0))```
but changing directions quickly just makes the character stay still. Is there a fix, like Unity's Input.getaxis?

#

are you making a game engine or did u already make one?

vestal vessel Sep 9, 2020, 6:59 AM

#

i mean like i did plan to make one

#

but just catching with all the necessary knowledge needed for it

#

in rust 😄

sacred trout Sep 9, 2020, 8:33 AM

#

Oh yeah rust 🤘

old vessel Sep 9, 2020, 8:36 PM

#

hey can some one explain this to me?

#

for b in range(len(ammo)):
ammo[b][0] += 10 # change this to change speed and direction

for bullet in ammo[:]:
    if bullet[0] < 0:
        bullets.remove(bullet)

for bullet in ammo:
    screen.blit(ammoimg, pygame.Rect(bullet[0], bullet[1], 0, 0))

umbral crow Sep 9, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

in screen blit, pygame.rect is storing the x and y values of bullet
so in the first for loop, each bullet's X in the list ammo, is being updated += 10
the 2nd for loop is just removing the bullets if their X is less than 0 or maybe offscreen

old vessel Sep 9, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

how did it make my code work?

umbral crow Sep 9, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

i have no idea, its a miracle

old vessel Sep 9, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

do you actually not know?

umbral crow Sep 9, 2020, 8:47 PM

#

yes

old vessel Sep 9, 2020, 8:47 PM

#

oh

#

why is it ammo[b]

sacred trout Sep 9, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

You'll getter better help with more specific questions like "why is it ammo[b]" 😉

#

why is it ammo[b]
@old vessel ammo apears to be a lis of bullets

old vessel Sep 9, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

but why the b

sacred trout Sep 9, 2020, 8:50 PM

#

so to get each bullet you do ammo[b]

#

the b is an index

#

It would be cleaner to do for bullet in ammo and then replace the ammo[b] by bullet

old vessel Sep 9, 2020, 8:53 PM

#

what about the range

sacred trout Sep 9, 2020, 9:00 PM

#

I suggest that you do help(range) in a python intepreter. Looking at the docs is a good way to understand what things do

old vessel Sep 9, 2020, 9:02 PM

#

docs?

sacred trout Sep 9, 2020, 9:02 PM

#

documentation ^^

old vessel Sep 9, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

where

sacred trout Sep 9, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

#

Also there are lots of good explanations about (almost) every topic that here : https://realpython.com/python-range/

The Python range() Function (Guide) – Real Python

Master the Python range() function, learn how its implementation differs in Python 3 vs 2, and see how you can use it to write faster and more Pythonic code.

old vessel Sep 9, 2020, 9:07 PM

#

what do you suggest the easiest way of learning pygame is?

sacred trout Sep 9, 2020, 9:13 PM

#

I have the feelingthat you don't know much python, so a good thing you to learn a bit of python first, by doing simpler things than pygame, and once you are more confident with python, learn pygame and have a whole new range of challenges

#

A lot of people suggest Automate the boring stuff with python to learn the langage, but really pick any tutorial and try to have fun and make things that you like

blazing heart Sep 9, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

piggybacking off of that... i do have moderate experience with python. how would I lean to use Pygame?

#

Maybe not moderate, but midweight

sacred trout Sep 9, 2020, 9:37 PM

#

I personally learned with youtube videos. I liked the snake tutorial by sendex (though I starting to get quite old and I wouldn't recommend it). DaFluffyPotato has excellent videos on lots of specific topics and apparently a tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLX5fBCkxJmm1fPSqgn9gyR3qih8yYLvMj), I did not watch it, so I don't know the scope but I can guarentee the quality. http://inventwithpython.com/pygame/ is quite often recommended too

#

Depends on how you like to learn though

How long do u reckon creating one 3d character after u got all the drawing done ?

#

Would take?

dawn quiver Sep 10, 2020, 7:59 AM

depends on your experience

#

if you have no experience probably a day or two

vestal vessel Sep 10, 2020, 8:03 AM

#

hmmm

#

im a newbie

fervent rose Sep 10, 2020, 8:04 AM

#

Depends on the style

#

If you want a good high poly character based on a drawing, assuming you’re a complete beginner, quite some time

#

I’d say a week at 5-6h a day

vestal vessel Sep 10, 2020, 8:05 AM

hmmm i c 😄 thnx guys

#

@shrewd phoenix Make sure you don't have a file named pygame.py in your project.

It'll import from that instead of the pygame package if you do, and cause similar errors.

If you can't import pygame in a console, then pygame is not installed

Yup, you need to basically use your own coordinate system and translate when Pygame needs it. Can whip up an example if you're interested.

It's an image or an array of pixels

molten niche Sep 13, 2020, 2:20 PM

ok

jade kettle Sep 13, 2020, 3:45 PM

#

@sacred trout Piper said the image isnt key colored

#

and I also dont understand anything of what the first comment is saying

sacred trout Sep 13, 2020, 3:58 PM

#

Apparently the way transparent windows work on windows is by making transparent every pixel that is exactly pure pink. The windows itself is actually keyvolored

#

But if you blit someone with transparency, you get something that is not pure pink at the edge, because et blends the ping with your semi transparent border

#

So the resultant color is not pink and so is not made transparent by the system and thus is fully opaque

#

That's why you get the pink. To get rid of it, you need to use sprites with a sharp edge, and no transparency between 0 and 1

jade kettle Sep 13, 2020, 4:07 PM

#

so I went to photoshop and pressed Sharpen Edges

#

There is less pink

📎 unknown.png

#

Compared to the start

📎 unknown.png

sacred trout Sep 13, 2020, 4:20 PM

#

This pink is caused by semi transparent pixels

#

You need to remove them entirely

#

Actually the best thing to do would probably to use colorkeyd surfaces

jade kettle Sep 13, 2020, 4:22 PM

#

So I tried this

Navi = Navi.convert()
Navi.set_colorkey(fuchsia)```

#

while there is no pink

#

📎 unknown.png

#

the image didnt make it

#

new problem

I meant using colorkeyd image when drawing them like in photoshop

#

Thing is, you don't want per pixel alpha in your image

jade kettle Sep 13, 2020, 4:32 PM

#

#

per pixel alpha
u are saying that in my image, every single pixel has a different transparency?

You'd need to either hardcode the logic in, or use some actual machine learning, and the latter is pretty complicated.

viscid nexus Sep 13, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

You're basically looking for game AI which is an awful name for it. There's a bunch of ways to design it, so my first question is what kind of game are you making so I can point you at resources more likely to be what you want?

#

u are saying that in my image, every single pixel has a different transparency?
@jade kettle

so when we're talking about transparency in rendering, there's two big methods for handling it: color keys and per pixel alpha.

If you've ever seen a sprite sheet where the images are on a garish background, usually magenta, those are color keyed. If you tell pygame the color value of that background, it knows how to filter out the color key and leave only the image.

Per-pixel alpha is talking about a color definition known as RGBA. The alpha channel determines how much opacity that pixel has. So a maximum value in the fourth value in the color tuple (usually 0-1 or 0-255) is fully opaque, and a 0 is invisible. Everything in the middle would show up as translucent.

In the update section, check the state of the key, then move the rect (pick any point, I like center, but you might work with topleft) a little bit based on which key was pressed.

If you are using sprites you'd do it in your update function.

near wedge Sep 14, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

OpenGL and Direct3D (before 12) are good if you want a higher-level graphics API. Vulkan is if you really want to get low level.

#

Vulkan is a ton of extra work.

olive parcel Sep 14, 2020, 6:06 PM

#

@quartz cedar if you never need to support anything other than Windows, then Direct3D 11 is simpler to use. Otherwise, OpenGL. If you need to ask, I'd recommend against Vulkan or Direct3D 12.

formal seal Sep 14, 2020, 6:32 PM

#

I’ve heard that Vulkan takes a ton of code just to get running

#

So unless you really need the performance, OpenGL sounds like the best route

@void tusk the first two are the top left corner of the screen, the last two the bottom right corner, I think

It’s a rect

fill(color, rect=None, special_flags=0)

From the docs

@void tusk
