Iβve watched the video your talking about
Itβs made in the turtle module which I do not know much about
However I made a pong game using pygame which is much better and there are plenty of tutorials online

In terms of your code I think you need to define black. Do black = (0, 0, 0) at the top
You also need to define white

Looks like you have an infinite loop on lines 17-18
run never gets set to False, so the loop will go on forever and everything below line 18 will never execute
Perhaps you meant to put code past line 18 inside the while loop too (by indenting it inwards by 1 level)

i want to implement the ability to aim using a mouse causing the character to point something at that direction

hasty sand
hi there, im trying to code a character creator for my terminal text adventure game and i really could use some help. i want the user of the program to be able to create as many characters as they like and then view the stats of a character by typing ? @character_name into the prompt. i have a function that creates a new instance of the class playable_character and then appends the instance to a list named playable_characters.
the part of the code that is supposed to provide the inspect functionality:
elif '?' in user_input.split()[0]: if '@' in user_input.split()[1]: pc_name = user_input.split()[1].replace('@', '') pcs.index(pc_name) if pc_name in pcs else -1 print("@@@") eval(pc_name).show_stats()
my character creation function:
def create_pc(): character_name = input(" What is thy name?\n> ") # append the new pc to the list of playable characters pcs.append(pc(character_name))
my show_stats function (i tried using it as a class method and as a normal function outside of the player class - instead of passing self the function then takes a character object):
def show_stats(self): print(" Edge", self.edge, "| Heart", self.heart, "| Iron", self.iron, "| Shadow", self.shadow, "| Wits", self.wits, "| Harm", self.harm, "\n Momentum", self.momentum, "| Health", self.health, "| Spirit", self.spirit, "| Supply", self.supply)
my implementation of the functionality described yields a name error: 'character_name' not defined. my diagnosis of the problem is that the playable_character is not available in the namespace (at least thats what i gathered from my stack overflow searches). so when trying to call the function that is supposed to show the stats for that character it results in that Name Error. I appreciate any help very much, thank you. π
tranquil girder
Maybe it's the eval? Why not do pcs[pc_name].show_stats()?
hasty sand
this gives me the following error:
TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str
i changed this part of the elif statement like so:
elif '?' in user_input.split()[0]: if '@' in user_input.split()[1]: pc_name = user_input.split()[1].replace('@', '') for pc in pcs: if pc_name == pc.name: # eval(pc.name).show_stats() pcs[pc_name].show_stats()
tranquil girder
Oh, my bad. I assumed it was a dict
you can use the return value from pcs.index from the line above then
pc_name is just a string
so eval(pc_name) won't do anything
hasty sand
you can use the return value from pcs.index from the line above then
@tranquil girder can you eloborate please?
like so?
for pc in pcs: if pc_name == pc.name: pcs.index(pc.name).show_stats()
hasty sand
this gives the error:
ValueError: 'pc_name' is not in list
pcs.index(pc.name).show_stats() gave me the same error
by the way thank you for responding π

I'm trying to get several objects to spin around a player. I create them just fine, but calculating their position is giving me some trouble.
`def floatWeapons(player, weapons, iteration=100):
if iteration:
iteration -= 1
else:
print('finished running')
for weapon in weapons:
weapon.teleport(player.origin)
weapon.remove
return
x,y,z = player.origin
r,ΞΈ = cartesianToPolar(x,y)
for i in range(0, len(weapons)):
x2,y2 = polarToCartesian(r+60,ΞΈ + ((math.pi/2)/6 * (i+1)))
weapons[i].teleport(origin=Vector(x2, y2, z + 60))
Delay(.02, floatWeapons, (player, weapons, iteration))
def cartesianToPolar(x,y):
return math.sqrt(x2 + y2), math.atan(y/x)
def polarToCartesian(r,ΞΈ):
return r * math.cos(ΞΈ), r * math.sin(ΞΈ)`
hollow mica
x,y,z = player.origin
r,ΞΈ = cartesianToPolar(x,y)
why do you calculate polar coordinates of a player?
hollow mica
r,ΞΈ revolves around (0, 0, 0) point of the world
for every weapon, calculate relative cartesian coordinates first:
rel_weapon_pos = weapon.pos - player.origin
then transform these relative coords to polar
In your code you rotate weapons around world origin, 60 points farther than player
also, cartesianToPolar can raise division by zero error in expression y/x
split tulip
good observation...
hollow mica
There's special function for this case https://docs.python.org/3/library/math.html#math.atan2
split tulip
I would have a collection of food objects
Food objects would theoretically have a location attribute
Assuming the AI knows where all the food is, iterate over all the objects, calculate distance, sort the results, and move to the lowest value
hollow mica
@prime juniper There're lots of spatial tree datastructures, easiest of them are quad/oct trees. They optimize reading (finding nearest food) and make writing somewhat slower (adding food). But for the user it looks like "a list" with ability to add and remove.
split tulip
I'd go with neumond's suggestion though. It has the benefit of having pre-calculated values, although if your AI moves a lot it could be more (time) costly

I recommend using a dict, @hasty sand, if you don't need to be able to have several characters with the same name

eager gate
Hi everyone. I'm participating in my first PyWeek and using PyGame for my game.
I have this issue: When 2 keys are pressed simultaneously I can detect them with pygame.key.get_pressed() but not with event polling (pygame.event.get()).
with event polling only the last key pressed generates KEYDOWN events and the other one is completely ignored even after releasing the last key.
Is this a bug in pygame?
frank fieldBOT
Hey @eager gate!
mint zenith
You should see an event for each key, you just have to process the events one at a time
eager gate
This is Python 3.8.0 and PyGame 1.9.6
mint zenith
But using get_pressed is probably more convenient anyway
eager gate
Apparently it's the only way that works. I'm baffled no one in the PyGame community identifies this as an issue. I use an event loop to process all events but I can't get them all.
mint zenith
Well, you should get an event for each key. The events shouldn't disappear
eager gate
If you have PyGame experience, could you take a qiuck look at my posted code to see if there's some obvious mistake from my part? it's simple enough that I think should just work.
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/iquvehogok.cs
@eager gate This one @mint zenith . Thanks
mint zenith
It looks fine
Which two keys are you trying to detect?
Even if you do a simple ```py
while True:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
print("key down ", event.key)
elif event.type == pygame.KEYUP:
print("key up ", event.key)
and press some keys at the same time, you should see an event for each keyIs it either moving or jumping, but not both?
eager gate
right. I tested the simple loop you suggest. Pressing any 2 keys, only reports events for the one pressed last.
mint zenith
I tested the same thing, and I get an event for both keys
eager gate
Maybe it's a version or OS thing. I'm in Linux. PyGame 1.9.6. Python 3.8.0
I converted the code to use get_pressed() and it works that way. So I guess I'll just use that.
Thanks @mint zenith
mint zenith
I was testing on Windows for what it's worth
eager gate
Well, I actually get both events. However, one of the keys reports one event and nothing more while it's still being pressed.
I press RIGHT and hold, then press SPACE immediately after.
events go like this:
right, space, space, space, space, ..., space
while it should be:
right, space, right, space, right, space, ...
while keeping both pressed.
mint zenith
Not sure what you mean. The events only get reported twice: once for key up and once for key down
For the events to repeat like that, you'd have to spam the keys rather than hold them continuously.
eager gate
I set key repetition, but I guess the issue is there. ( pygame.key.set_repeat(1,100) )
mint zenith
Yeah maybe. I actually didn't notice you did that.

I want to set maximum and minimum values for these types of class attributes (momentum cannot be greater than 10 and not be lower than -6), but have not been able to implement it so far. i tried using a lambda function to always return a value in a specific range, but if i assign the lambda function to the class attribute, obviously the function is being returned instead of the value. Any advice?π π

I want to set maximum and minimum values for these types of class attributes (momentum cannot be greater than 10 and not be lower than -6), but have not been able to implement it so far. i tried using a lambda function to always return a value in a specific range, but if i assign the lambda function to the class attribute, obviously the function is being returned instead of the value. Any advice?π π
@hasty sand so basically you want to validate what can go into the attribute?
hasty sand
@stark anvil the type of the attribute does not change. in the case of momentum it will always be an integer between -6 and 10. i want to make sure that it never can go outside of this range, eg: if an action of the PC lowers their momentum to -7, it will be -6.

i hated working with pygame
if i had the skills i would make a better python game library

Does anyone know how to download pygame?

pip install not working?
@brittle orchid
python -m pip install pygame at the command line
for windows at least

Ok i will have a look

I hate pygame
Pyglet is better imo, especially if you know how to use decorators and such
dense creek
Pygame is good in itself but is very limited. I had to switch from pygame to pyglet

@stark anvil thanks for the tip again. i have been reading a lot about the property decorarter and checked out the code sample that you provided for me. i got it working in a seperate file:
`class Player:
def __init__(self):
self._momentum = 2
{at}property
def momentum(self):
return self._momentum
@momentum.setter
def momentum(self, value):
self._momentum = max(min(value, 10), -6)
def face_danger(self):
print(self.momentum)
self.momentum += -20
print(self.momentum)
pcs = {}
name = 'eric'
pcs[name] = Player()
print(pcs)
pcs.get(name, {}).face_danger()`
when i implement it in my game file it raises an attribute error when trying to resolve self.momentum += 20:
AttributeError: 'PC' object has no attribute 'momentum'
why can i not call the setter on self?
Im really confused as to what is going exactly, maybe you can help me out again?π
i got it working by not using property at all.
self.momentum += -20 momentum = self.momentum self.momentum = max(min(momentum, 10), -6)
i created a new function as a class method of PC since i need this logic a bunch of times, so its not too bad i guess?
however i was wondering if there is a better way involving properties
had to remove the proper syntax because of discords tagging

# user should input the rank again
self._rank = value

def swear_an_iron_vow(self):
self.name = input("Give this quest a name: ")
self.rank = int(input("Give this quest a rank: "))
self.description = input("Give this quest a description: ")
self.progress = 0
iron_vow = Vow()
swear_an_iron_vow = Vow.swear_an_iron_vow()
print(iron_vow.name, iron_vow.description, iron_vow.rank)
**i want to make sure that the rank of an iron vow is always between 1 and 5. **
since the player provides the rank when swearing an iron vow i thought the range check for rank should occur in the rank.setter? am i mistaken? should i just implement a check in the classfunction after the player provided a rank? tyπ

guys, any good source of "balance" in multiplayer games?
i'm developing a browser game that is by far unbalanced
excel is not handling such problem
hahaha
hasty sand
@somber bramble he is talking about card games, but the conceptual approach he takes to balance is very nice. i think balance is often a problem regarding agency. an unbalanced game removes player agency because there are to few playing styles that are optimal or at least viable. removing player agency is bad for games since they are all about that. one way to balance your game might be to focus on winning playstyles in the game that you have, disregarding the rest. a game like rock paper scissors for example has only 3 play styles but it is balanced because each play style is countered by one of the other two. so the fun of rock paper scissors is guessing what your opponent chooses. even though there might be less variety in rock paper scissors than in rock paper scissors lizard spock it might be more fun because of it.
somber bramble
i'll watch it, my game is space based, so there will be races, each race with different approaches with different playstyles, some will be able to start colonizing when they start, others don't, the main problem is equalizing the economics :X
but thanks π

why?

@dawn quiver can you send the part with the screen.blit
where are you getting console_arrow_rect\_* from
I get that ya
but if the values are incorrect/negative that'd explain it
and your calling pygame.font.init()?
actually nvm ya that doesn't need to be there
would "{}\n".format(commands[console_text]) work?
output = game_font2.render("{}\n".format(commands[console_text]), True, white)```sorry I'm not to familiar with pygame
would you not have to update the screen
I'm pretty sure you have to pass the blit() to an 'update' function
"PyGame's built-in dawning functions and the .blit() method for instance return a Rect, so you can simply pass it to the display.update() function in order to update only the "new" drawn area."
but you'd have to pass the blit to update() in order to update the window
because as far as I can see you're just building one
last moon
Ya so (I could be wrong someone correct me) I think you're not actually initializing the blits
idk actually sorry pygame without oop confuses me
where are you getting again from
can you add something like print("error") after the if again:?
could be that it's not going into the condition at all
or a breakpoint would work too ig
last moon
where are you getting draw_again from then
is that %100 working
like it's not displaying any sort of error
actually can you send the whole script so I can run it?
!paste

na just the script you're working on
na just the one you're working on
I can change the sprites

try if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:

unless you have something like KEYDOWN = pygame.KEYDOWN you'll need to change each one

@brittle orchid hmmn
can you open the command prompt?
Go to start menu, type "cmd", hit enter
From there, type the following:
python -m pip install pygame
you DO NOT need to go to any website and download any files
the command does it all
@brittle orchid
after that's done, you can just import pygame to use it in your scripts

Hey, I'm making a space invaders game with pygame, can you tell me how do I do collisions of bullets with enemies??
Thanks in advance:)
tardy sage
I am not using pygame but am making a very small section of a game and am having trouble
I'm trying to calculate hit chance in the most simple way and it is not working at all.
I've tried a hundred different ways of doing the same thing and none of them have worked
import random #Imports random class
randhit = random.randint(0, 10)
crit = 10
if randhit < 4:
print('Miss!')
else:
pass
if randhit > 5 and crit:
print('Hit!')
elif randhit == 10:
print("That was a critical!")
print (randhit)
Here, it says invalid syntax because of the line "if randhit >5 and crit"
But why?
If both of those things are True boolean, it should print the line "Hit" right?
I get this with the lesser than operator as well.
"if randhit is greater than 5 and less than critical, which equals 10, print the line "hit""
Why is that invalid syntax?
I tried using randrange, randint, random.choice
none of those work because it says that I can't compare an integer with a range
What's the point in even using a range then?
if randhit < 4:
print('Miss!')
elif randhit > 5 and crit:
print('Hit!')
elif randhit == 10:
print("That was a critical!")
print (randhit)
.
Changing the code to his now works, but when I hit a 10, it still just prints out 'Hit!' instead of 'That was a critical!'
I've spent about 12 hours off and on searching google
and nobody can tell me what I'm doing wrong, or what to use
import random #Imports random class
randhit = random.randint(0, 2)
crit = 2
hit = 1
miss = 0
if randhit == crit:
print('You hit a critical!')
elif randhit == hit:
print('You hit!')
elif randhit == miss:
print('You missed.')
print(randhit)
This is the only thing I can get to work, but I want the critical to not be a 25% chance, I want it to be lower

What exactly is queue?
I'm making a text based game written in python, but I want to display sprites using pygame. Would I need threading to achieve this or would a queue be good enough?
near wedge
@frigid knoll I'm pretty sure that self= is invalid Python; I don't know where you picked that up from. You can just use pLayer.name()
@tranquil robin A queue is a list/array-like data structure usually used for pushing stuff into one end and popping from another. I am not sure what it has to do with displaying sprites in PyGame though.
Also, needing threading for displaying sprites sounds like asking if you need an airplane to get to the grocery store. I highly doubt you'll need to do some threading (of your own, don't know about PyGame internals).
frigid knoll
i know sry, its because i was using ```py
class pLayer:
def __init__(self):
user.append(input(">>> " + user[0] + " . . . "))
def name(self): # <---- i was putting self right there
user.append(input(">>> What is your name? . . . "))
Ah, yes, that is the correct spot for self.
The first item passed into an instance method is the instance itself.
You could really use any name for the first argument, but self is the convention.

pygame.display.flip()
Here's a threading code for displaying a circle on a separate screen when you press either 'w' 's' 'a' or 'd'
near wedge
@tranquil robin any particular reason to use input()? PyGame should have a non - blocking way to get inputs.
However, from a high level, what you have should work, and is a basic producer-consumer pattern. It just seems overly complicated for basic stuff.

Please dm me for more info
west egret
sigh You do realize you're going to get kicked or something right
you're just slightly rephrasing the question so that it doesn't sound like recruitment anymore
strong raptor
@brittle orchid not sure then. @ someone else maybe they know more than me
ionic depot
@west egret lmao
@tidal magnet what's the prob
I could probably help you

hey im new to python can you make games with it
ionic depot
@ancient olive yes , ofc
valid wyvern
I want to learn how to make games fast with python independently can I get help for it
valid wyvern
Any game
valid wyvern
But a platform game would be preffered
ionic depot
What exactly
valid wyvern
Like a endless runner or one where the Player must dodge obstacles like undertale
valid wyvern
Yep
valid wyvern
But I've made snake game
A ping pong game
But they were from a tutorial and I want to learn to do it off the top of my head
ionic depot
Oh , so you want tips
ionic depot
Hmm
valid wyvern
Cuz like I would prefer a long one where I actually learn things and not just Hello world
i was trying to make a cube
@rigid brook :(

fresh fiber
beginner here trying to get into game designing, whats the difference between python game development and c++ game development. which is better?
@prime juniper thank you for the answer, is it better to start with c++ or python if you're a complete beginner with no prior experience in coding except HTML, CSS and a little bit of python?
last moon

@fresh fiber

Python game devβll probably be a bit easier if you have experience with py but like sfdsf mentioned, youβll be limited by the library
That being said libraries like pyglet (+ others) use low level stuff like OpenGL
untold bramble
hi all. do you guys know of any packages that involve NLP for the purposes of text adventure games? I was thinking about Facade's use of NLP. i would love to see more of that or maybe just mod facade to create another story.
There's monumental room for Facade-like games.
dawn quiver
eh I downloaded a pygame flappy bird looked at the code and said nope and never touched it again this channel is not for me.
that much code should never be in a game so little as flappy bird.
ionic depot
@dawn quiver that's the reality
Other big games have millions lines of code
Are you new in this programming thing @dawn quiver?
@dawn quiver Btw , how many lines of code does your flappy bird game has?
dawn quiver
I didnt count atleast 50
just for a quick animation and a random set of pipes obviously with gravity and controls but still
but they werent like 3 word lines they were packed
ionic depot
How old are you?
dawn quiver
13
listen, my age shouldnt matter I personally dont like people who think im not "old enough" or "experienced" enough to know how to code or learn.
ionic depot
Yeah , the age doesn't matter
ionic depot
what brought you to the python world?
Some kind of influence
Or from pure curiosity
?
olive quail
13
@dawn quiver samee
dawn quiver
@ionic depot oh me I wanna be a dev
ionic depot
@olive quail what about you
dawn quiver
I have been coding for like 3 years and im off to a good start.
ionic depot
How many projects do you have ?
dawn quiver
over 20
ionic depot
And in what programming language?
dawn quiver
node.js and python
ionic depot
And you find flappy bird hard to make?
dawn quiver
yes.
ionic depot
That's impossible
dawn quiver
something about pygame just isnt in my list of capable things
olive quail
Tried to make a bot once with java script once without knowing it at all, and quit that after like a week, I'm trying to make another but but this time I'm using python, but I don't know python at all so I have to watch videos for it lol, planning on trying to learn it but with school idk @ionic depot
ionic depot
Is one of the most easiest games out there
dawn quiver
dude I took one look at it and said no.
olive quail
My Grammer sucks
dawn quiver
all the different functions ima stick to c# in unity
ionic depot
Can you show the code?
dawn quiver
yea lemme find it again
prisma beacon
Error it is showing is.... There is no module named 'pygame'........
After I written import pygame...... Why???
ionic depot
But it's limited
dawn quiver
python just isnt meant for games. unless we talking og mario graphics
prisma beacon
Means.... From where...
ionic depot
@olive quail try to learn python in free time
dawn quiver
personally I love to code bots but I have moved to much bigger things...
dawn quiver
theres a bot for everything yea you get credit but better to use someone elses bot thats already more known and then you dont gotta pay for servers
ionic depot
To move from small thing to bigger ones
prisma beacon
Can i get a source of of a game.... I want to learn it...... Just a begginer
dawn quiver
oh for me it was easy I didnt start with bots I started with big things... then moved down then back up
ionic depot
https://www.edureka.co/blog/snake-game-with-pygame/ @prisma beacon
prisma beacon
Thanks broo
ionic depot
One more thing
ionic depot
There are some issues with first stpes
@dawn quiver send the code
I want to see it
ionic depot
Right
dawn quiver
it dont even got a menu and it still complex
olive quail
Jesus that's old
ionic depot
You should find tutorials from 2018 to 2020
Those are the newest ones
And the easiest
Cause python evolved
ionic depot
YouTube is a good source to find projects
dawn quiver
readmes are usually useless but I know what most functions do.
prisma beacon
Where to give command to pip install pygame??????
ionic depot
Vs or cmd
olive quail
Why so many question marks?
ionic depot
:))
olive quail
lol
ionic depot
Cause he's desperately fixing that prob
prisma beacon
cmd means????????????
ionic depot
A beginner thing
olive quail
Fair
ionic depot
Hmm , how to explain
It's much easier on Vs code
@prisma beacon download Vs code first
prisma beacon
Then Vs means?????
ionic depot
Visual studio
prisma beacon
From where should I download it
olive quail
prisma beacon
First I have install pygame module..... Or just directly open Vs
prisma beacon
I have pycharm
dawn quiver
yea about me making my own code I do as I told you 20+ projects games in python just arent my strong suit
prisma beacon
Okk
ionic depot
@dawn quiver but you did in other programming languages
prisma beacon
After downloading python in Vs.... What I should do
ionic depot
I don't understand that :))
dawn quiver
I make tools im not allowed to discuss here not really games I just wanted to make some I could play offline for boredom and yea I think unity is a great engine for games I can easily make em in that
prisma beacon
I should run my program in Vs then.... It will not say error in import pygame
olive quail
@olive quail are you trying to make bots?
@ionic depot discoed bots lol, just not at my computer so I don't know whats wrong with code rn or what I wanna add
At some point I wanna try to make a game but lol
I can't apell
Spell
ionic depot
@olive quail lol
olive quail
Why do you ask?
ionic depot
From curiosity
olive quail
Ah
olive quail
No u haven't, don't really know what a gamebot is, well besides its prob a bot in a game or ai or somthing
Idk coding lol
ionic depot
Oh , okay

Hi, I am working with tutorial and I can't get camera rotation to work. It works when I rotate (even though the screen rotation is the same), because my flying direction is changed. Here's my code -
