Does anyone know of any good way to implement dragging code?

#

I'm working on making a solitaire game in python

#

Is it just handling the MOUSEUP and MOUSEDOWN events?

hey guys, how are you doing?

Hey, check this out:

I'm creating a web based game, I'll need to have some kind of map, but it's not a common map, its like a galaxy map, a good example is stellaris maps, how can i do something like that in js?

#

📎 Boter_Stellaris_1_Map.png

#

something like this

#

i dont need that lines and symbols, just a big galaxy generated with data that I've created

#

with some very basic interaction, like: click a galaxy and zoom in to the planets

@ionic depot

ionic depot Sep 28, 2020, 5:58 AM

#

Put 1000 , 700 at pygame.dsiplay.set_mode ()

#

And then add more at clock.tick

#

For me it moves smoothly

#

When I added more' speed'

#

Or just make the player smaller

#

Idk if it works that way

So I have this but the background never changes colour.

sacred trout Sep 28, 2020, 9:24 AM

You are indeed drawing it only once. You need to put all this in a loop so that it is drawn every frame

lusty oyster Sep 28, 2020, 9:25 AM

now it is saying

#

how do you make code repeat 60 times per second?

#

put it on loop

#

yeah but how do you make it 60

#

do tick.clock(60)

but you need to make an var

rotund talon Sep 28, 2020, 12:35 PM

I started studying pygame through school, and theres a question here I got stuck on.
I need to draw 100 lines from the center of the screen, all in the length of 350, to create a "circular" shape from all the end points.
I'll send an image as an example

#

📎 unknown.png

#

my issue here is purely mathematical, I know how to draw lines its just I have no idea how to perform the movement to achieve this shape

#

I assume its something to do with trigonometry

sacred trout Sep 28, 2020, 12:39 PM

#

all the endpoints are of the form center + radius * (cos(angle), sin(angle)) idk if this helps

#

the reason is that cos and sin are the projections on the x and y axis of a unit vector of a given angle, so you can get the (x, y) coordinates of a vector with a given angle this way

#

then scale it radius * ... and shift everything so the center (0, 0) become center so center + ...

rotund talon Sep 28, 2020, 12:45 PM

#

I'll try this, thank you

#

Okay, it comes out pretty close to the end result

#

it comes out like this

📎 unknown.png

#

where my code is like this:

#

    for i in range(100):
        pygame.draw.line(screen, (255, 0, 0), [350,230], [350 + 250*math.cos(i), 230 + 250*math.sin(i)], 1)
        pygame.display.flip()

#

So I wonder what im doing wrong

#

the center point here isn't (0,0), its worth mentioning that

#

its 350,230

#

240*

sacred trout Sep 28, 2020, 1:03 PM

#

cos and sin want angles in radians, so between 0 and 2*pi. If you want equally spaced rays, you will want the angles to be equidistant in [0, 2*pi]

#

With n rays, it the distance between two angles is 2*pi/n so the i'th angle is i * 2 * pi / n

rotund talon Sep 28, 2020, 1:05 PM

#

ah okay that worked

#

thanks!

Hi, I'm not really sure if this counts as game development but in school we were assigned to create a Rubik's Cube Solver and I never coded before so I have no clue where to start. Can anyone just give me a good starting point or some IDE's that might be useful? Thanks in advance! 😄

lmao i hate pygame now after making a platformer a year ago

sacred trout Sep 28, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

@jolly sigil download Pygame 😎
@glossy gust You don't need graphics to do this... you need to 1) learn python 2) write down precisely what the movement of the cube are 3) implement how you would solve the cube by hand

#

And 4) if you are very good, learn how good algorithms work to solve it in a few movements (they are quite complicated and interesting)

jolly sigil Sep 28, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

Thanks guys, I've downloaded all the programs now and I'm starting to decompose the problem. Fingers crossed it all works out 😄

@sacred trout my bad I thought he needed graphics to show what the cube looks like
Yeah, i wanted to have a 3D simulator of what the cube looks like so that the user can rotate it and have a look at it. I don't know if that's too ambitious though...

sacred trout Sep 28, 2020, 9:13 PM

#

Your whole project is ambitious, but doable 😉

#

It is a bit more than a one weekend project if you've never coded though

jolly sigil Sep 28, 2020, 9:15 PM

#

Yeah I agree.. it's going to be pretty hard. We have the whole academic year to finish it though so I think I have time to learn 😄

Then you just need to start by learning python. First objective could be to code a "guess my number" game in python after learning about loops and conditions

silver coral Sep 29, 2020, 1:20 AM

#

hey i am currently trying to make a text based game in python becuase i wanted to try something else after doing it in C++

#

i made a prototype for it in C++ and it was a good prototype, it was a turn based rock paper scissors rpg type of game. and i balanced a lot of it for melee combat but i have no idea how to balance it if the player wants to used ranged attacks

#

the way it works is each there are three types of melee attacks and defenses, each count the same attack and defense. aka pierce attacks are countered by parries. and if the same attack hits each other they get into a bind, if two defenses hit nothing happens.

#

if you block an attack you get a pot shot in as well. but i cant seem to find a way to make bows and arrows/ranged magic fit into this system

#

there is melee magic

#

but not ranged. and i dont know what to do for it

#

i could make ranged spells and bows be a special move used once per turn

#

but idk

#

maybe that will be what will be done but idk

There is a lot of work from just if/else to something like minecraft. @dawn quiver

#

Do you know about OOP ? Classes, methods, functions ?

#

Loops (while/for) ? Lists ?

#

If not, you should learn basic python stuff before trying to make such a big game.

@lusty oyster I apologize for not giving you an error, the previous methods ive tried did not give me an error, I just didnt get the collision. And for the code you provided. i would put ```python

so

#

just use that

signal root Sep 29, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

where

#

i get that, this is where i would stop my player, reverse velocity etc

#

but where would i put this if statement? It needs to be constantly run to check if a collision happens

#

So would i just throw it in an infinite loop?

does anyone have any recommendations for 3d physics engines to implement in an existing engine?

Hello, ive been workign with pygame trying to do a collision system. and ive been having issues with my code. Basically I have a player class, and inside that player class there is a self.rect which is equal to pygame.Rect blah blah blah. thats all well and good, and I can see that rect is working because I drew it, and it displays the correct size and all that. Now my main issue is when I try to detect collisions with other rects. I tried doing python if player.rect.colliderect(rect): print("Collision!") and I just get an error saying type object player has no attribute rect even though i assigned it self.rect. I dont know why this isnt working. Here is my full code:https://gist.github.com/ethanedits/c9d0eaa5bf90a7a9a8085fae86a0bcfa

I think you meant man.rect, not player.rect
This is why it's a good idea to capitalize class names

what's the difference between community pycharm and pro

tough coral Sep 29, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

community pycharm is pycharm pro, but a version that's about 6 months old, iirc. It should be fine for pretty much 100% of users.

fast moth Sep 29, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

is coding hard?

tough coral Sep 29, 2020, 10:22 PM

#

at times, yes. At other times, also yes. But practice makes it easier.

signal root Sep 30, 2020, 12:11 AM

#

@tranquil girder i did that, same error

tranquil girder Sep 30, 2020, 12:16 AM

#

You haven't defined rectanywhere. The one you're trying to colliderect with

#

line 86, in <module>
    if man.rect.colliderect(rect):
NameError: name 'rect' is not defined

signal root Sep 30, 2020, 12:27 AM

#

Ok, so i tried doing this instead: ```python
if man.rect.colliderect(wall.rect):
print("Collision!")

#

@tranquil girder

#

Ok, so how would i reference it if its from pygame?

tranquil girder Sep 30, 2020, 12:41 AM

#

False

#

But again, you're referencing the class and not the instance

#

the instance is called collider1

#

Yeah, the rects don't update either, so they will never collide

signal root Sep 30, 2020, 12:43 AM

#

ok

#

so instead of rects i should be using sprites?

#

What if I want a invisible collider

#

@tranquil girder

tranquil girder Sep 30, 2020, 12:53 AM

#

I don't know much pygame, sorry

signal root Sep 30, 2020, 12:54 AM

I can't seem to animate pygame movement properly despite having all the files needed...

silver coral Sep 30, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

i think general is a bit busy so ill try here because my code is a game

#

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ehomucawey.py

#

i think its simple but i dont know why it doesnt do what i need it to do

#

basically

#

when a player types in an attack a bool goes true

#

when the enemy then reacts to that then selects an attack another bool goes ttrue

#

when both are true it prints that i got that far

#

but it doesnt

cinder nacelle Sep 30, 2020, 2:09 PM

#

pylint is just a warning that maybe something is wrong. Do you get an actual error message when running the code?
@unique dragon Please install mkl-service package

ionic depot Sep 30, 2020, 2:09 PM

#

And then quit ()

unique dragon Sep 30, 2020, 2:11 PM

#

Can you screen shot that error message if pygame.quit() doesn't fix it?

ionic depot Sep 30, 2020, 2:11 PM

#

There are missing a lot of things in your code

unique dragon Sep 30, 2020, 2:11 PM

#

Actually, quit is already being used so I don't think that's needed again

You forgot about pygame.K_RiGHT

And so on

You are using QUIT but Python doesn't know where QUIT is coming from

ok great

#

do you guys use any resources for pygame?

#

like is there a tutorial to get me started anywhere

#

i have an idea i want to make it's a ninja star throwing game

ionic depot Sep 30, 2020, 8:55 PM

#

@frozen knoll cool

#

@gilded grove hmm

#

Have you done any project so far?

gilded grove Sep 30, 2020, 8:56 PM

#

no i figured I would start with a project

ionic depot Sep 30, 2020, 8:56 PM

#

A simple game?

gilded grove Sep 30, 2020, 8:56 PM

#

yeah

#

the ninja star throwing one

#

so i can have something for my resume

ionic depot Sep 30, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

Hmm

#

Start with simple games

#

And then build the game from what you've learned

#

@gilded grove

gilded grove Sep 30, 2020, 9:01 PM

#

it would basically just be like a reflex game

#

you have your character and some other person running at you and you have to throw a shuriken

ionic depot Sep 30, 2020, 9:02 PM

#

Idk what to say

gilded grove Sep 30, 2020, 9:02 PM

#

i'll watch some videos to teach myself and then get back here

ionic depot Sep 30, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

If you are new to pygame , you should start with small things

gilded grove Sep 30, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

like what

ionic depot Sep 30, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

An example

#

Snake game

#

Or chess game

#

Any game from what you can learn stuffs

#

In order to make a game by yourself

gilded grove Sep 30, 2020, 9:06 PM

#

ok

ionic depot Sep 30, 2020, 9:06 PM

#

Good luck

gilded grove Sep 30, 2020, 9:07 PM

#

thank you

ionic depot Sep 30, 2020, 9:07 PM

#

@gilded grove another good example of game could be flappy bird

gilded grove Sep 30, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

i'll try following some videos first before making games

ionic depot Sep 30, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

Yeah

#

Go ahead

#

One more thing , don't just follow others code

gilded grove Sep 30, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

do you think the ninja star throwing game is too difficult for a beginner

ionic depot Sep 30, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

Understand them

#

What is that ... why is it there ... how does it work ...

#

Ask yourself

#

I really don't know

#

It depends

gilded grove Sep 30, 2020, 9:11 PM

#

guess I'll find out

ionic depot Sep 30, 2020, 9:12 PM

#

Yeah

stuck stone Sep 30, 2020, 9:57 PM

#

Not sure I understand

#

but at first glance, iterating through a dict seems like something that can be done faster

#

I see

#

First of all, it's more convenient to iterate over only the dict values

#

with myDict.values()

#

another thing you can do, is to approximate math.hypot

#

by adding the numbers instead of doing math.hypot for example

#

then you can at least filter out most of the foods

#

also, min probably needs to run its own loop

#

so it's better to have that be part of your main loop

#

https://forum.unity.com/threads/clean-est-way-to-find-nearest-object-of-many-c.44315/

#

instead of math.hypot(a,b) then abs(a) + abc(b)

#

@prime juniper
it also depends on what on the rest of the code

#

like...

#

if you're running this on every frame

#

you know that nothing changed between two frames

#

they spawn every frame?

#

yeah! that's probably the best

terse reef Oct 1, 2020, 9:40 AM

But repl.it is really REALLY bad with sharing graphics.

#

Normal terminal programs work well, but when you go to video, it is bad.

#

The framerate is bad and the compression is bad.

It could also be a region problem

Discord has support for Markdown, which allows you to post code with full syntax highlighting. Please use these whenever you paste code, as this helps improve the legibility and makes it easier for us to help you.

To do this, use the following method:

```python
print('Hello world!')
```

Note:
• These are backticks, not quotes. Backticks can usually be found on the tilde key.
• You can also use py as the language instead of python
• The language must be on the first line next to the backticks with no space between them

This will result in the following:

print('Hello world!')

@proven vault you are running run_game() in run_game() function

probably the nesting of function is causign issue

also there is a weird space here flip ()

put it in your while run loop

gilded grove Oct 1, 2020, 10:55 PM

#

making the ninja star throwing game

#

what does pygame.keydown mean

#

i looked it up on the doc

#

File "main.py", line 38, in <module>
screen.blit(background(0,0))
TypeError: 'pygame.Surface' object is not callable

#

import math

#player ninja
playerImg = pygame.image.load("player.png")
playerX = 370
playerY = 480
playerX_change = 0
playerY_change = 0

#enemy ninja
enemyImg = []
enemyX = []
enemyY = []
enemyX_change = []
enemyY_change = []
num_of_enemies = 6


#game loop
running = True
while running:
  #RGB
  screen.fill((0,0,0))
  #background image
  screen.blit(background(0,0))
  for event in pygame.event.get():
    if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
      running = False
    
    if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
      if event.key == pygame.K_LEFT:
        playerX_change == -5
      if event.key == pygame.K_RIGHT:
        playerX_change = 5

#

what does that error mean

gilded grove Oct 1, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

i just want to have my background set up

gilded grove Oct 1, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

i don't know what's wrong with it

gilded grove Oct 2, 2020, 12:33 AM

#

do you guys know what’s wrong with it?

tranquil girder Oct 2, 2020, 12:42 AM

#

There's an error on line 38
What arguments are you passing to the function?

gilded grove Oct 2, 2020, 12:51 AM

#

idek i just got this from a youtube tutorial and tried to make it work on code for another game

#

blit()
draw one image onto another
blit(source, dest, area=None, special_flags=0) -> Rect
that's what it says in the doc

tranquil girder Oct 2, 2020, 12:55 AM

#

make sure you're not missing a comma

gilded grove Oct 2, 2020, 12:56 AM

#

i don't see a missing comma with the 0,0,0

#

i'm mad confused

tranquil girder Oct 2, 2020, 1:01 AM

#

This line, 38:

screen.blit(background(0,0))

gilded grove Oct 2, 2020, 1:03 AM

#

i added an extra comma after the second zero

tranquil girder Oct 2, 2020, 1:04 AM

#

How many arguments are you passing to blit()?

gilded grove Oct 2, 2020, 1:04 AM

#

2

tranquil girder Oct 2, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

Are you sure?

gilded grove Oct 2, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

is it 3

tranquil girder Oct 2, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

No, only one

gilded grove Oct 2, 2020, 1:05 AM

#

😅

#

uhhhhh

#

yeah i don't know how pygame works

tranquil girder Oct 2, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

not, pygame specific
python
you're just missing a comma

gilded grove Oct 2, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

oh is it after background

tranquil girder Oct 2, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

yes

gilded grove Oct 2, 2020, 1:07 AM

#

my oh my

#

i'm big dumb

#

sorry

tranquil girder Oct 2, 2020, 1:08 AM

#

sometimes you just have to double check you didn't have a typo
or you can try rewriting it to make sure it's correct

gilded grove Oct 2, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

can you explain what .blit does

tranquil girder Oct 2, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

in simple terms it just means to draw it on the screen

gilded grove Oct 2, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

oh ok

Hey may someone help me I’m trying to make a game called guess the blocks where there’s three blocks and there are the colors red, blue, yellow, orange, purple, and green. If the user guess block 1 correct then they move on two block 2, if they guess block 2 correct they move on to block 3, if they guess block 3 correct the game will end and tell them the number of tries they had. So it’ll also count the correct and incorrect tries. I just don’t know how to get started.

#

I have the text and stuff set up

#

📎 image0.jpg

#

I want the user to be able to enter answers in the guess here box and they can click text

#

Check*

#

Currently if I click check it’ll close the program

Hello. If anyone would like to contribute to a open-source game project for an organization and be it's Lead Developer, please drop me a message.

#

You can either make from scratch or use an existing open-source project, no worries about that.

gilded grove Oct 2, 2020, 4:40 PM

#

idk @spare cloak if i'd be the lead i'm still very new to game dev

#

what language would you be using

ionic depot Oct 2, 2020, 4:42 PM

#

C++ and/or python

#

Or both

#

@gilded grove

#

Most likely

spare cloak Oct 2, 2020, 4:44 PM

#

@gilded grove You're at freedom to choose that. Basically I'm the Founder of the crypto currency Xolentum, and the Devs will be working on the core itself which needs lots of fixes and stabilization.

#

So we're looking for a separate set of developers to work on a game that will use our crypto currency.

#

Integrating the payment system won't be very difficult, you just need to setup a good game with a payment system, into which we will integrate Xolentum payments.

#

You can use any language you want to make it from scratch or use an existing project from GitHub, we don't have any issues with that. 🙂

gilded grove Oct 2, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

it would look good on my resume but I think I want to stick with my shuriken throwing game

#

it's more basic and a good introduction to pygame

spare cloak Oct 2, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

It's your choice, the one who joins in first will be the lead Developer and maintainer of the game, so a good opportunity just waiting to be filled. 😄

i'm willing to give credit to people on github for the ninja star throwing game

#

if you want that on your resume idk

spare cloak Oct 2, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

Well, I'm mostly juggling between school and my existing projects, that's the primary reason of outsourcing the game because I don't have time for it, but a much needed entity for the project's success.

best of luck man

i'm new to pygame so i'm trying to create a basic one haha

spare cloak Oct 2, 2020, 4:52 PM

Yeah no issues.

#

Can I have a look at your repository for the game?

um

i don't know github so well tbh

#

i tried watching some tutorials

#

do you create a repository every single time you have a new project?

ionic depot Oct 2, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

Idk actually:))

spare cloak Oct 2, 2020, 4:58 PM

#

do you create a repository every single time you have a new project?
@gilded grove Yep

#

And if it's just a code snippet that you'd like to share with the world you use GitHub Gists

gilded grove Oct 2, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

me a clown bc i did this thing where i coded a spongebob mocking meme function where it turns stuff like bug into bUg

#

it was just one function and i shared it as a repository

#

LMAO

ionic depot Oct 2, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

@gilded grove lmfao

gilded grove Oct 2, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

oh ok good you can delete the repository happy

ionic depot Oct 2, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

@gilded grove you want to create the game as 2d or 3d

gilded grove Oct 2, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

2d

ionic depot Oct 2, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

First person perspective

#

Or third

gilded grove Oct 2, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

third

#

so the spaceship/ninja would now be on the left side of the screen and the aliens/ninjas on the right

Hmm

#

Sounds interesting

yeah so far i'm trying to get it to have a background but that's not working

spare cloak Oct 2, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

@gilded grove I checked your repo. Probably you're new to GitHub so .. anyway, you don't upload zip archives to GitHub.

No issues take your first step at learning Git

#

That's how the files should be, and to do that, you need to either upload each file individually or use the CLI tool git to push the files all at once.

alright i'll change it

ionic depot Oct 2, 2020, 5:14 PM

#

@gilded grove how many lines of code does your game has so far?

gilded grove Oct 2, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

around 45

#

45 incorrect lines of code bc i still can't see a background

#

what's the difference between .keyup and .keydown

#

both control what you hit on the arrow keys

ionic depot Oct 2, 2020, 5:20 PM

#

Key down is when you press the button

#

And key up ...

#

Do you understand?

#

It's the opposite

#

If you need help with the game

#

Or with the main parts

#

Tell me

gilded grove Oct 2, 2020, 5:22 PM

#

should i just DM you instead of blowing up this section

ionic depot Oct 2, 2020, 5:22 PM

#

As you wish

#

@gilded grove btw , I'm a beginner too

#

But I learned a lot of stuffs from what I've made so far

#

And still learning

gilded grove Oct 2, 2020, 5:32 PM

#

That’s good

#

I’ve been trying to learn pygame for a while now but I never built up a good understanding of it

dawn quiver Oct 3, 2020, 7:37 AM

#

can anyone teach me how to use class

celest iron Oct 3, 2020, 8:01 AM

class is a blueprint, collection of fields and methods

#

from it you instantiate object

class Car ...

car = Car()

how can i make an sprite collide

when i run it

#

it says no rect

#

how can i make an sprite have an rect

celest iron Oct 3, 2020, 8:04 AM

you must add to it bounding rect

how/

@celest iron \

celest iron Oct 3, 2020, 8:07 AM

#

didn't use pygame

dawn quiver Oct 3, 2020, 8:07 AM

#

ok

celest iron Oct 3, 2020, 8:12 AM

#

hmm draw rect

#

https://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/draw.html#pygame.draw.rect

#

Draws a rectangle on the given surface.
so you have rect on the sprite

#

and then spritecollide

#

hmm you don't need to draw rect

#

just get the rect from image

#

self.rect = load_image('head.jpg', -1)

#

in this way if you use class way

#

if you extends your class with Sprite

#

for example

class Head(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
    def __init__(self):
        pygame.sprite.Sprite.__init__(self) 
        self.image, self.rect = load_image('head.jpg', -1)```

dawn quiver Oct 3, 2020, 8:33 AM

#

how can i do it without class

celest iron Oct 3, 2020, 8:34 AM
