so for that you need to make your pygame.display.set_mode((500, 500)) part a variable
#game-development
inland arrow
this is usually called something like screen
so in ur case this:
screen = pygame.display.set_mode([500, 500])
sly agate
i looked and couldnt find any "screen" anywhere
inland arrow
sometimes its also called display
anyway to color your display you need to do that screen = pygame.display.set_mode([500, 500]) in place of pygame.display.set_mode([500, 500])
and then to color the display you just screen.fill(color)
and then just replace the color with an rgb value or for example something like "black" or "red"
you can also do pygame.Color("#ffffff") if you want to use hex values
sly agate
another thing is when i define my colors some tutorials tell me to define alpha for opacity but other say i dont need to
sly agate
thats why i only did it for white
inland arrow
ah ok
sly agate
if i dont does it automatically go to full opacity?
inland arrow
yes
sly agate
k thanks
inland arrow
do you need any more help?
sly agate
red = (255, 0, 0)
green = (0, 255, 0)
blue = (0, 0, 255)
black = (0, 0, 0)
white = (255, 255, 255)
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((500, 500))
pygame.display.set_caption("game")
screen.fill(white)
i tried this and it didnt work
inland arrow
what is the error?
sly agate
there was no error it just didnt change anything
inland arrow
did it just create a 500x500 window that is just white?
sly agate
no it created a black one
sly agate
ohhhhh i remember hearing that
inland arrow
put that after screen.fill
sly agate
it work thank you so much!
inland arrow
no problem :)

@near wedge - upbge just about has 1to1 feature parity with old 2.79 bge now !
youle did soft bodies the other day

Nice!

hey guys anyone here to help?

Hey @cold storm!
vernal kettle
Zip it
frank fieldBOT
Hey @cold storm!
cold storm
nope ๐ฆ
vernal kettle
Bro
Zip that file and then upload it to some file sharing sites like mega or something
And share the link here
near wedge
@cold storm pasteall supports blend files
Taking a look at the video, that looks pretty neat. Does this have any advantages over using Blender's particles?
near wedge
Ah, I just instance the particle system on export.
cold storm
yeah - everything works in game now
near wedge
Gives pretty good control and randomization options.
cold storm
volumes - TAA - even grease pencil
so this is like giving you instancing
for upbge basically
we can also join meshes now using ops but it's expensive
near wedge
So, why the script instead of particles?
near wedge
Cool ๐
cold storm
added_mesh = bpy.data.objects['Plane'].data.copy()
added_mesh.name = "Plane"+str(i)
object_data_add(bpy.context, added_mesh, operator=None)
i+=1
bpy.context.active_object.location = (x,y,0)
bge.logic.getCurrentController().owner.scene.convertBlenderObject(bpy.context.active_object)
own.scene.convertBlenderObject(bpy.context.active_object)
will duplicate a instance of a mesh - move it to a point - and then process it's game object
(create it's physics shape and initialize it's logic etc)
the engine is all grown up / full circle now
still some kinks to be worked out for sure
we can use blender guts to load meshes from disk
then convert them in game
libFree is still an issue though
(freeing mesh / bpy ob without crashing anything)
I have been able to generate procedural worlds in game that are performant
but removing old chunks is the next issue
I think I can overwrite their mesh - make a new cube probably
but then I need to run it through the converter again
own.updatePhysicsShape() is handy for stuff like deformations
I think the only advantage @near wedge about the instances here - is you can align the normal to any angle you wish
compared to particles
and also scale
(there is a opportunity to randomize scale as well)
as it's using face data for rot/scale
there is a cube on the scene that can record gameplay to fcurves too

Why is it that in python
if "a" or "b" in variable:
# do this
if "c" in variable:
# do this
c doesnt run, only the first IF statement passes as true?
tranquil girder
I think you meant
if "a" in variable or "b" in variable:
but it should run, if you have either some code there or pass
dawn quiver
I just dont get why I need to write it that way
merry echo
Because that would be evaluated like this
if ("a") or ("b" in variable):
# do this
and "a" is evaluated as True
fallow coral
yes it shouldnt
dawn quiver
Is there a reason why tho?
if "a" or "b" or "c" in variable:
is a lot more clearer code than
if "a" in variable or "b" in variable or "c" in variable:
yes bc these are 3 condition
but even
if ("a") or ("b") in variable: # do this ``` doesnt work properly
@dawn quiver and here you mix it
dawn quiver
I'm just curious why each condition needs to be checked in the variable in what seems to be a longer way
fallow coral
it is bc of the or
merry echo
because of the or
fallow coral
after the or you set a new condition
dawn quiver
right right, I see that now, I've gotten messed up from that before
or is different from and in that regard then right?
or is it the same
if "a" and "b" in variable:
would work right

Hey @plucky folio!

merry echo
no
grave carbon
ok
merry echo
jk what do you need
grave carbon
Im trying to create a randomized spawning system in pygame for blocks
like a block can only spawn if the there is a block next to it and no other block can occupy that place
merry echo
like a terrain generation?
grave carbon
kinda
but its more specific than noise
like a block can only spawn if the there is a block next to it and no other block can occupy that place
for the first layer
then the second layer has different rules
and so on for 4 layers
@merry echo can u help
??
merry echo
ok what do you currently have
grave carbon
I just currently have a list of one block that im drawing
but obviously i need more with those specific rules
merry echo
you can make that using something similar to a kernel mask
like lets say a 3x3 2d array that is used to check the borders of the tile
merry echo
you could do that
that might get big if you decided to add more blocks
you can do that first to test and see before scaling up
grave carbon
I need an infinite amount of blocks
and my game is totally random
so if you generate terrain while going ahead
merry echo
is this a 2d side scroller?
merry echo
is the terrain editable/destructible?
grave carbon
no
and also
it isnt like normal platformers where if you go back while generating terrian you would see the same blocks loaded
its totally random no matter what direction you go
except for the spawning rules
merry echo
ok then
you could divide the world into big chunks and only generate the closest ones near the player
grave carbon
you dont need that tho
bc every single chunk is random no matter where you go
so let me explain
say that you just passed over completly flat terrain in the first chunk
when you go back to the first chunk the terrain could be totally different
merry echo
well you'd still have to store the close ones since you you want to generate it every time
merry echo
yes just how much you need
for the blocks do you only need the adjacent blocks for the rules?
grave carbon
yes
thats it

Is pygame easy to learn? And is it ever too soon for a beginner to learn pygame without even getting to know about every aspect of the language?
I feel pygame is too difficult and it's of no use but I am using pygame too
and I am not able to add images anywhere
restive mica
@leaden ingot If you want to make games you can use the Godot Engine it is open source, easy to learn
and you can code in C# or in there Built in Language Gd-Script which is a mix of Python and Java Script
and verry easy to learn.
leaden ingot
Oh thank you, very cool
olive parcel
Godot unfortunately isn't Python, alternatives for 2D games are Arcade and PyGame, for 3D games Panda3D and Ursina

Which language should I choose for my pathfinding program, I've already built a pathfinding system with dijkstra in python but the problem is that it's way too slow, I heard some suggestions about using C/C++ but I'd like to use something a little higher level since I'm not that familiar with these C languages and it'd probably take way too much time to learn them just for this, any suggestions?
potent ice
Why does it need to be faster?
gray spear
I'm using it for quite big simulation and it uses over 10^6 nodes with a lot of paths between them, current speed is quite slow and it simply isn't sufficient
potent ice
Maybe you can get some speedups with cython?
That is a decent middle ground and fairly quick to do
potent ice
Yeah. definitely look into it if you don't want to make C/C++ extensions
gray spear
so with cython I can simply include C code into python?
potent ice
Cython is Python with C data types.
It then generates and compiles C code for you
I don't think there is another solution that requires a lower amount of effort
gray spear
alright, I'll look into it, thanks a lot!

There is also numba, but I have not played with that much. Both probably will do fine!

So, Say BTC's Max Peak was 18,172 (Our New Max Range Value)
and BTC's Lowest Peak was 4,120 (Our New Min Range Value)
and BTC's Current Price is 13,150 (Our Current Value)
How do i tell a variable (0.00 to 1.00) its value from max and min depending where its at between the range
last moon
So the number is between 4120 and 18172?
seems like a normalization problem
x_norm = (x - x_min)/(x_max - x_min)
altho actually if your range is [1,0] instead of [0,1], you'd need to do abs(x_norm - 1)

just as a rule of thumb, for ascii art I like to use \\ regardless of if it's escaping a char or not
saves a lot of effort trying to figure out why it isn't working right

or did I misunderstood something?

You are not allowed to use that command here. Please use the #bot-commands channel instead.
last moon
I'm not sure I haven't used them
signal plank
@last moon they basically make the special chars you would need to escape not needed to escape anymore.
Only relevant to the input, a raw-string just converts the given string into a "normal" string
last moon
ya I don't do enough for it to have an effect on me
I'll usually draw it and add the escapes at the end
signal plank
with a raw string you can just add an r before the string just like you would do with an fstring and dont need to escape the special characters
hidden field
Isnt making a game with unity or something easier
signal plank
might be, python is not designed to be used for games in the first place. C++ for example is faster than python by magnitudes

Ok

I could be wrong but it looks like cocos is fully depreciated (or at least the docs are out of date), arcade, pyglet as well as (g)ui libraries such as kivy and pyqt are used for 2d python 3.7+ games

Switch back to using the BGE/UPBGE? I prefer to not be forced to make my games GPL =/
merry echo
Oh all games made in BGE have to be GPL? How about paid plugins?
cold storm
No
the only thing that is forced GPL is your python
not your assets / music / levels / content etc
I plan on giving away everything anyone needs to make any game anyway
Krum 2 sells on steam and Krum 1 , tomato jones 1,2,3 - Arctic alive and more
you can also use BpPlayer and encrypt your asset cache
import bge
adds gpl to script
import someLib #is not forced gpl
import bge
near wedge
Correct, only the scripts are GPL
merry echo
Are you guys doing nodevember?
umbral ruin
No
@cold storm hi!.... so... let me see if I understand: tomato jones and krum were made with UPBGE?... if so... if I contact their developers and ask their python code... they are oblged to give it to me becasue it is GPL?
๐ I do not really want their code, but I do want to know what could possibly happen if I make a game with UPBGE

navmesh - I wrote my own A* but that is already free
but recast / navmesh in C are included

your not making a engine
we need moguri's thesis re-applied
but I think the geometry nodes project will do this
(*hope)
but yea
import myLib
import bge
does not make myLib gpl
umbral ruin
I did not know that... interesting....
so I could put whatever I want to keep "secret" inside myLib ... and let's say the main "game process" that does the import is the one will be GPL ... interesting....
And... just a detail, my code does not need to be secret because is special or magical ๐ , but, I am thinking if I could use this to make data visualizations for clients. There we get into Non-Disclosure agreements and all that stuff (like a regular software project thing) and then it does matter that they (the clients) and only them are the ones with access to the code
cold storm
yeah we have pointclouds
vdb
remeshers / bloom
all sorts of stuff
your stuff could be magical with little effort
and the vulkan port is almost done
and all the draw calls are already behind the abstractions
so one day it will be like a vulkan switch is there soon
near wedge
In that case, I believe myLib still needs to be GPL compatible.
I find the GPL to be a real pain for a library/framework/engine, so I prefer to avoid the GPL for this stuff. This despite the fact that all of my gamedev stuff is open source.

why even use pygame over a game engine?
last moon
personally arcade > pygame but one advantage is that you're working with a higher level language. 'Some' py libraries are also a decent way to learn c(++)/etc style game-dev with sld, OpenGL, ModernGL, etc, etc
It's all the same basic concepts but you have the advantage of not having to worry about mem management, etc, etc
vagrant jolt
yes bro malloc and free is super hard
and pointers ๐คฎ
ok let's not discuss why python is more superior (in some areas) than C, I know why
last moon
imo (and im not the only with this opinion), pygame isn't the best option because it allows you to avoid learning those basics
neither is superior overall
they both have their advantages

pygame is useful if you want to build your own game engine.

why not use pyglet or panda for that?

Fair enough. I haven't used pyglet/pygame enough to have a meaningful opinion on that.

I think a and b would be x and y?
brave widget
maybe?
last moon
give me a min I'll try to find an answer
brave widget
Wait lemme explain the purpose of my game
So its basically space invaders, except the invaders are trying to get the origin, that is where the shooter is located. And if they get to the origin or colide with the shooter, its game over
and I would have the shooter shooting at where ever the head of the turtle would be
last moon
a.forward(20+i)
a.left(30 - i/1.5)```
smthing like that over a range would do ityou'll have to fiddle with the values tho depending on what you want
brave widget
I see, I have no idea how to impliment that in my code though ๐
last moon
when do you want the spiral?
last moon
so you want them to start at a point and spiral out?
brave widget
because what I'm trying to do right now is that the invaders are moving in a rectangular shaped spiral
spiral inward
towards the origin = 0 (where the shooter is)
and I was wondering if there is a way to make it a direct spiral
last moon
oh ok so it's most of a 4 plane space invaders compared to the original 2 plane?
if you used something like this
you'd have to modify it a bit
but you'd use it to set the position of each turtle (enemy)

This is what I am trying to do right now
where the pentagon is the shooter
but I was wondering if I can set it to travel in a spiral instead of that rectangular shape
last moon
welp I found out how to make a pointy circle
brave widget
oh lol
last moon
or whatever you call this
brave widget
Tbh I'm not even sure how I would impliment these in my game itself
Consider me like a complete noob, I have like 3 weeks of experience with python
last moon
well you need to move the enemy forward + left/right each time it updates
the amount depends on the detail of the spiral
pointy donut?
brave widget
Sorry to ask, but would you mind getting in a voice vall? I feel like i could explain / show you on there
last moon
maybe in a bit
brave widget
Alright
last moon
I understand what you're trying to do, I'm just trying to get it to work
brave widget
yep, and I want to get it to try and sprial inwards from a starting point in this case it would be (-200, 250) because that is where the first enemy spawns
last moon
for i in range(1,200):
xcor.append(enemy.xcor())
ycor.append(enemy.ycor())
enemy.right(30 + i / 5)
enemy.forward(150 - i / 1.5)```that's as far as I've gotten
idk how to center it
brave widget
oo
last moon
like it's making spirals, it's just not doing them in the right place/right size

@last moon that's cool
