what are those

it's been a while since i have touched turtle

ohh

brave widget Nov 6, 2020, 6:08 AM

#

btw it doesn't need to be the exact origin becuase

#

remember there is going to be a hitbox

#

i hope i didn't was the time for that lol

ya sorry I'm kind of getting distracted

I'll get you your spiral enventually

brave widget Nov 6, 2020, 6:08 AM

#

your already going out of your way to help lol

#

I'm already extemely thankful because you've spent like the past 2-3 hours trying to help lol

I'm just stressed out because a 5 week assignment is compressed into 3 days lol

last moon Nov 6, 2020, 6:09 AM

it's no problem I'm having fun with this

#

ah ya that sucks

brave widget Nov 6, 2020, 6:10 AM

#

and I have no prior knowledge

#

so it was quite stressful becauase

#

my school region decided to have a hybrid learning enviornment where we would go to school for 2 days, and the rest would be ascynchronyse learning, and

#

our semsters normally had 4 courses and would last 4 months each, its not compressed to 4 semesters each containing 2 courses and each semester lasts 2 months

mossy harness Nov 6, 2020, 6:11 AM

#

@last moon

#

so

#

what you want to do

#

you take the point for a circle

#

you know how to do that?

last moon Nov 6, 2020, 6:11 AM

#

spiral into the origin starting at -250, 250

#

lmao barely

mossy harness Nov 6, 2020, 6:12 AM

#

loop through each angle and x = sin(angle) * circle_radius and y = cos(angle) * circle_radius

#

plus that in and you get the point of a circle

#

and so each step you increase the radius

last moon Nov 6, 2020, 6:12 AM

#

what if I use left/backward/etc/etc?

mossy harness Nov 6, 2020, 6:12 AM

#

wdym

last moon Nov 6, 2020, 6:12 AM

#

where the input is an angle

#

turtle

mossy harness Nov 6, 2020, 6:13 AM

#

oh

#

um

#

lets see

#

start at something like 0, 0

#

yeah

#

0, 0

#

and then step through some amounts of rotations

#

increasing the angle each time by some amount

#

each step, increase the radius by some amount

#

then get x, y coords

#

and subtract the previous coords from that

#

and thats how much you move

last moon Nov 6, 2020, 6:14 AM

#

oh so I need to iterate until the spiral hits -250, 250 and run through the range backwards

mossy harness Nov 6, 2020, 6:14 AM

#

if you want to have a 2d spiral, yes

last moon Nov 6, 2020, 6:14 AM

#

that's the plan

mossy harness Nov 6, 2020, 6:14 AM

#

eh

#

i wouldnt reccomend setting a point as the end thing

#

i think it would be better to set the params, then tweak them as you like

last moon Nov 6, 2020, 6:15 AM

#

that's what i've been trying to do
idk I need to walk throught the math for a sec

#

so the initial radius needs to be the sqrt(250^2+250^2)

#

like where the turtle starts

mossy harness Nov 6, 2020, 6:17 AM

#

initial radius would be zero

last moon Nov 6, 2020, 6:17 AM

#

ig it's x,y coords so that doesn't matter

mossy harness Nov 6, 2020, 6:17 AM

#

final radius would be that amount

last moon Nov 6, 2020, 6:17 AM

#

no it needs to be the other way around

#

unless I draw it backwards

#

which is the same thing

mossy harness Nov 6, 2020, 6:18 AM

#

are you looking to set the spiral to go to a certain point?

#

or are you just trying to make a spiral in general?

last moon Nov 6, 2020, 6:18 AM

#

ya (-250,250) -> (0,0)

#

last coords should preferably be at least (0,0) ± 1

mossy harness Nov 6, 2020, 6:19 AM

#

oh woops cosine is for x sine is for y

#

ok

#

so

brave widget Nov 6, 2020, 6:20 AM

#

How big should I make the hitbox for the turtle because I think that would reduce some of the issues

#

or not tbh idek

mossy harness Nov 6, 2020, 6:21 AM

#

what i would reccomend doing is taking that last point, taking the distance from the last to first point, dividing by the amounts spirals you want, dividing by the steps per spiral, then using that as the radius increase per step @late quartz

last moon Nov 6, 2020, 6:24 AM

#

how do you take the inverse cos/sin in py?

mossy harness Nov 6, 2020, 6:36 AM

#

acos / asin

#

so

#

math.acos/math.asin

last moon Nov 6, 2020, 6:42 AM

#

im getting somewhere

📎 unknown.png

#

decided to use polar coords and convert them

#

a = 0
b = 1
for i in range(200, 1, -1):
    phi = i
    rho = a + b*phi
    x = rho * math.cos(phi)
    y = rho * math.sin(phi)
    enemy.goto(x, y)```

#

just need to tweak a,b

brave widget Nov 6, 2020, 6:45 AM

#

oh wow

#

btw thanks once again, I'm going to call it a night, its almost 2 am and I got school tmr

last moon Nov 6, 2020, 6:46 AM

#

alright have a good one, ping me tomorrow, I'll have it figured out hopefully by then

brave widget Nov 6, 2020, 6:46 AM

#

alright

#

btw I don't want to discourage but wouldn't that be too many cycles?

last moon Nov 6, 2020, 6:46 AM

#

probably lol

brave widget Nov 6, 2020, 6:47 AM

#

I would say if its just 5-10 it would be more than enough, and we don't need it to go directly to the center because remember we are working with a hitbox

#

so as long as the last spiral is close enough for the two hitboxes to touch, we should be fine lol

last moon Nov 6, 2020, 7:00 AM

#

@brave widget py first = True a = 0 b = 1.5 freq = 3 multiplier = 4 exponent = 9/10 _min, _max, _step = 250, 1, -1 for i in range(_min, _max, _step): phi = i / freq rho = a + b * phi**(exponent) * multiplier x = rho * math.cos(phi) y = rho * math.sin(phi) if first: enemy.up() enemy.goto(x, y) enemy.down() first = False enemy.goto(x,y)

#

so it doesn't start at -250, 250 specifically

#

but you can tweak the range so it's close

#

_min, _max, _step = 250, 1, -1
a = 0
b = 1.5
freq = 9
multiplier = 10
exponent = 9/10``` that seems to work pretty well

idk pygame but I'm assuming you'll have to redraw the background + paddles + new ball pos

little eagle Nov 6, 2020, 10:31 AM

#

ok

last moon Nov 6, 2020, 10:32 AM

you can see it's happening to the paddles as well so you have to update those

it might be a bit easier if you stick the sprites in class instances

i have pip and pip3

#

python3.7

#

20.4 i think

flat dew Nov 6, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

If you are using pip install without the python, you need to use pip3. but sometimes just using pip3 installs pygame in a different version of Python that the program is not using

#

So, use python -m in front of pip in order to specify that you want to use the pip that is a module command in that specific Python version

glass forge Nov 6, 2020, 4:38 PM

Successfully installed pygame-2.0.0
You are using pip version 8.1.1, however version 20.2.4 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

olive parcel Nov 6, 2020, 4:57 PM

@glass forge it looks like you have multiple versions of Python and pip3 corresponds to a different one for you than python3

Maybe try running with python3.7 instead

Or uninstall and reinstall Python to clean up the mess

Those are different Python installations than the ones that come from the Ubuntu repositories.

#

That's the problem

If you type python3 you might get the system version, and if you type /usr/local/bin/python3.7 you might get the version in /usr/local

Depends on how you installed it… if you built Python from source, which it does look like, then calling "sudo make uninstall" inside the source code directory is the best way to do it

#

If you no longer have the source code directory, well, then… I guess you would just need to carefully manually delete a bunch of locations within /usr/local

Hey guys, I need some help here please.
First of all, I don't really know in which channel I should ask for help, so I apologize if this is the wrong one.
Here is the deal:
I'm trying to merge two images with python.
I've searched the web, and came to a (sort of) little script for doing it. Here it is:

📎 unknown.png

#

But the problem is that my IDE tells me that PIL doesn't have any "image" method.

#

I think that my PIL installation went a bit wrong, but how can I fix it, please ?

last moon Nov 6, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

Image not image, it's a class

willow mirage Nov 6, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

I had tried this, but same problem here:

📎 unknown.png

brave widget Nov 6, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

Import, the issue is with the second picture, idk why tho

last moon Nov 6, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

ah so PIL's __init__.py's a bit odd, it's not actually importing Image.py or any other file

#

just call from PIL import * or from PIL import Image

#

im trying to figure out if there's another way but I haven't seen a library modeled like this in a while

willow mirage Nov 6, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

With from PIL import Image, it works !

#

Thanks a lot !

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pydis.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

!traceback

frank fieldBOT Nov 7, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

Please provide a full traceback to your exception in order for us to identify your issue.

A full traceback could look like:

Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "tiny", line 3, in
        do_something()
    File "tiny", line 2, in do_something
        a = 6 / 0
ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero

The best way to read your traceback is bottom to top.

• Identify the exception raised (e.g. ZeroDivisionError)
• Make note of the line number, and navigate there in your program.
• Try to understand why the error occurred.

To read more about exceptions and errors, please refer to the PyDis Wiki or the official Python tutorial.

anyone know how to update the window after drawing polygons with arcade?
I can't call .draw() because it's not a sprite, and I seemingly can't crate it as a sprite without an actual texture
Is there some GL workaround or am I missing something

What are you using to draw the polygons?

arcade.create_polygon()?

quick question, not trying to be disrespectful. do you guys view python game development as like a novelty or learning instrument, or are you trying to actually make real games using python?

#

games are incredibly dependent on performance and i can't imagine python ever being the best tool for the job in that arena

olive parcel Nov 7, 2020, 8:00 PM

#

One approach is to use Python for game logic while relying on an engine written in C++ with Python bindings (this is more or less the model of Panda3D)

Hey got a question
can someone help me with the mask function in pygame
i implemented it in the code and i got no errors but i never have a collision xD

    def check_ball_collision(self):
        player_mask = player.get_mask()
        ball_mask = pygame.mask.from_surface(self.ball_img)

        b1_left_offset = (self.x_left - player.x, self.y1_left - player.y)
        b2_left_offset = (self.x_left - player.x, self.y2_left - player.y)
        b1_right_offset = (self.x_right - player.x, self.y1_right - player.y)
        b2_right_offset = (self.x_right - player.x, self.y2_right - player.y)

        b1_left_point = player_mask.overlap(ball_mask, b1_left_offset)
        b2_left_point = player_mask.overlap(ball_mask, b2_left_offset)
        b1_right_point = player_mask.overlap(ball_mask, b1_right_offset)
        b2_right_point = player_mask.overlap(ball_mask, b2_right_offset)

        if b1_left_point or b2_left_point or b1_right_point or b2_right_point:
            return True

        return False ```
well thats probably not really possible to understand without context

#

📎 Unbenannt.PNG

#

so the b1 and b2_left balls are the both balls on the left
the balls keep in there row and just move left and right
and i want to check for collision between those balls and the red rect

hello guys should i learn pygame ?
@waxen patio Yes pygame is very easy for beginners

#

and if yes do you have any tutorial?
@waxen patio Yes there are many good tutorials on youtube just search "Pygame Tutorials"

@floral tartan so i cant do a 2d big project with this?

sturdy forge Nov 10, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

I actually made a tictactoe game , its kind of long , so how do I send that?

sterile dust Nov 10, 2020, 11:55 AM

#

Im currently working on a little collision system, but collision is only detected at the right and upper side of a rect, any tips on how to solve this?

if mob.x < ship.x < mob.x + mob.width:
    if mob.y < ship.y < mob.y + 
       mob.height:                            mobs.remove(mob)
            hp -= 10

sturdy forge Nov 10, 2020, 11:59 AM

#

what is mob?

sterile dust Nov 10, 2020, 11:59 AM

#

basically a meteor moving down the screen

#

So I want to chech if the ship crashes with a meteor

sturdy forge Nov 10, 2020, 12:07 PM

#

I think you should send whole code,

Hers the link to all the code

sturdy forge Nov 10, 2020, 12:24 PM

Hey

dawn quiver Nov 10, 2020, 1:57 PM

#

Can anybody help me with pygame?

marsh dust Nov 10, 2020, 1:57 PM

#

@sterile dust just an idea, tell me if I'm wrong but i believe you need to create two separate collision boxes around both the ship and your mobs, so that when they intersect it is detected. You would have to outline the boxes by specifying the size and make them follow the centre point of the ship and mob. That is my my best guess at helping...

dawn quiver Nov 10, 2020, 1:58 PM

My character doesn't move when I press the keys:

import pygame

@dawn quiver try this (pressed_right/left is moving_left/right):

dawn quiver Nov 10, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

so do i just have to do add pygame to the inputs?

marsh dust Nov 10, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

you should have a set speed variable that you can add when the conditions are met

#

yes

#

for checking keys, at least when running pygame, yes. I believe so.

maiden egret Nov 10, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

Sure he has to

dawn quiver Nov 10, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

not works when i add pygame to everyone

maiden egret Nov 10, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

Something like

#

x -= vel

marsh dust Nov 10, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

vel being player speed?

maiden egret Nov 10, 2020, 2:11 PM

#

Sure

#

Velocity

#

And you dont have to use the key up events

#

And he doesnt even have to use the Booleans

#

moving_right = True etc

marsh dust Nov 10, 2020, 2:16 PM

#

it is true that he can add velocity in the direction he wants when key pressed straight away. In my short experience it was easier to have them separate in case i wanted to change the key binds later.

maiden egret Nov 10, 2020, 2:16 PM

#

Ok i like it more the other way...

@proper coral That is a problem with numpy. If you have 1.19.4 you might want to downgrade to 1.19.3

how exactly do i downgrade

@dawn quiver you never use the player_location variable it seems

dawn quiver Nov 10, 2020, 10:56 PM

#

u could start w godot@rotund hearth

#

or using pygame or most python game engine that i think, blender

#

Or start by creating a simple game

#

In python

dawn quiver Nov 11, 2020, 12:07 AM

I'm trying to do a contiune loop because the loop gets stuck in the for event loop

u could start w godot@rotund hearth
@dawn quiver godot isn't too friendly with beginers and even after I started learning pygame I couldn't really figure it out too well so idk

def checkClick():
  mouse_pos = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
  for event in pygame.event.get():

@dawn quiver I think it might've been the order of iterating through the circles and events

no problem

#

From my experiences with pygame, you often want to limit how many timesyou are calling event.get() (maybe to like once an update or so)

Hi guys
I made a space invaders game using python - pygame
And it worked well in my pc
I put it to github so my friends could see and use it too
But then I realised that they were telling that the space bar button doesn't work for shooting
I tried identifying the prob but couldn't find it
Now here is the code on GitHub https://github.com/sudo-nikhil/Space-Invaders
GitHub
sudo-nikhil/Space-Invaders
If someone could please clone it and identify why only the space bar doesn't work but when i clone and run the same code on my pc, the space bar works! it would be helpful
I am a 14 year ol beginner in python so please don't judge my code quality
Please ping me if anyone finds a solution to fix
Thanks!

also a useful tip: make a requirements.txt file on your root and
pip freeze > requirements.txt and it will make a list of all the libs you use in your virtual env, and then the user could just pip install -r requirements.txt

How do you guys structure your game.py and all your modules and classes?

#

I am making a game and it's going amazing but I have hit this wall where I just don't know how to organize all this mess

#

and don't know how to do it differently

#

it's a rogue-like engine, not necessarily for rogue-like, but you get the picture

#

I want it modular, compact, easy to read, for the sake of productivity

fervent rose Nov 12, 2020, 8:45 AM

#

For the code part, I usually separate the engine, the level-related code (loading, unloading, major level gameplay), the sprite (different objects that can go in your levels), gameplay elements and UI stuff

#

And I put all the art related stuff in a totally different folder, and separate them too

hey guys, I'm trying to code the enemies in my 2-D game and I want them to simply move left to right, here's the code it have so far...

#

#Enemy Movements
    enemy_movement = [1, 0]
    enemy_movement[1] += enemy_x_momentum
    enemy_x_momentum += 0.2
    if collisions['left']:
        enemy_movement = [-1, 0]
        enemy_movement[1] += enemy_x_momentum
        enemy_x_momentum += 0.2
    if enemy_y_momentum > 3:
        enemy_y_momentum = 3

    enemy_rect, collisions = move(enemy_rect, enemy_movement, tile_rects)
    
    if collisions['bottom']:
        enemy_x_momentum = 0
        air_timer = 0
    else:
        air_timer += 1

    display.blit(enemy_image,(enemy_rect.x - scroll[0], enemy_rect.y - scroll[1]))```

#

my problem is that the enemy only moves right, but does not move back left

#

any ideas?

sweet condor Nov 12, 2020, 6:31 PM

#

@frank spear I'm not 100% sure what's going on there but two things stand out to me:
You add 0.2 to enemy_x_momentum twice, before and in the if statement detecting left collisions
You never test for collisions on the right

frank spear Nov 12, 2020, 6:50 PM

#

I see, I changed it up so it looks like this now,

#

#Enemy Movements
    enemy_movement = [1, 0]
    enemy_movement[1] += enemy_x_momentum
    enemy_x_momentum += 0.2
    if collisions['right'] == True:
        enemy_movement[0] *= [-1, 0]
        enemy_movement[1] += enemy_x_momentum
    if collisions['left'] == True:
        enemy_movement[0] *= [1, 0]
        enemy_movement[1] += enemy_x_momentum
    if enemy_y_momentum > 3:
        enemy_y_momentum = 3

    enemy_rect, collisions = move(enemy_rect, enemy_movement, tile_rects)
    
    if collisions['bottom']:
        enemy_x_momentum = 0
        air_timer = 0

    display.blit(enemy_image,(enemy_rect.x - scroll[0], enemy_rect.y - scroll[1]))```

#

It tests for both left and righthand collisions now

#

but, the enemy still only walks to the far right and stops after colliding,it doesn't walk back

I think you need to configure it to the scripting program you're using

😦

frank spear Nov 12, 2020, 11:52 PM

#

so

#

I made some changes to my original enemy AI

#

but I still can't seem to get them to move back and forth after colliding with an object

#

#Enemy Movements
    enemy_movement = [1, 0]
    enemy_movement[1] += enemy_x_momentum
    enemy_x_momentum += 0.2
    

    enemy_rect, collisions = move(enemy_rect, enemy_movement, tile_rects)
    
    if collisions['right']:
        enemy_movement[1] = [-1, 0]
    if collisions['left']:
        enemy_movement[1] = [1, 0]
    if enemy_y_momentum > 3:
        enemy_y_momentum = 3
    if collisions['bottom']:
        enemy_x_momentum = 0
        air_timer = 0
      
        
    display.blit(enemy_image,(enemy_rect.x - scroll[0], enemy_rect.y - scroll[1]))```

#

there it is

#

any ideas?

livid dove Nov 13, 2020, 12:07 AM

#

@frank spear it's hard to tell what is happening here without more code, but you seem to be changing enemy_movement[1] from an integer into a list

#

and in your previous code you were using enemy_movement[0] to store your direction

#

it's very hard to tell what you're doing here without more code

frank spear Nov 13, 2020, 12:17 AM

#

here lemme show you

#


def move(rect, movement, tiles):
    collision_types = {'top': False, 'bottom': False, 'right': False, 'left': False}
    rect.x += movement[0]
    hit_list = collision_test(rect, tiles)
    for tile in hit_list:
        if movement[0] > 0:
            rect.right = tile.left
            collision_types['right'] = True
        elif movement[0] < 0:
            rect.left = tile.right
            collision_types['left'] = True
    rect.y += movement[1]
    hit_list = collision_test(rect, tiles)
    for tile in hit_list:
        if movement[1] > 0:
            rect.bottom = tile.top
            collision_types['bottom'] = True
        elif movement[1] < 0:
            rect.top = tile.bottom
            collision_types['top'] = True
    return rect, collision_types

#

this is the code for collisions here

#

I'm using this to determine the directions in which the enemy is hitting the block

#

enemy_rect = pygame.Rect(50, 50, enemy_image.get_width(), enemy_image.get_height())```

#

this here is the hitbox for the enemy, for obvious reasons

flat dew Nov 13, 2020, 12:19 AM

#

Is the enemy at (50, 50) all the time?

frank spear Nov 13, 2020, 12:20 AM

#

and the first code I gave you tests which sides of the block the enemy is hitting and is supposed to have them turn around

#

well no but I'll change it to a randint after i get it to work so it spawns randomly

flat dew Nov 13, 2020, 12:20 AM

#

But for now the enemy doesn't ever MOVE right?

frank spear Nov 13, 2020, 12:21 AM

#

it moves...but only to the far right then it stops once it hits a block

livid dove Nov 13, 2020, 12:21 AM

#

You seem to be switching your x and y values in the first code

#

which would cause x movement to be zero

#

if I'm looking at this correctly

#

movement and enemy_movement both have a direction and momentum, are structured the same?

frank spear Nov 13, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

playr_movement and enemy_movement?

#

yes

livid dove Nov 13, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

"nevermind

#

still a bit confused tbh

frank spear Nov 13, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

no your right

#

they a structured similarly

flat dew Nov 13, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

So what is the problem with your code right now?

livid dove Nov 13, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

his player is supposed to switch directions when they collide to the right

frank spear Nov 13, 2020, 12:28 AM

#

the enemy is supposed to move from left to right when it collides with the blocks

livid dove Nov 13, 2020, 12:28 AM

#

In your first code you are using enemy_movement to calculate enemy_rect, then blitting the image based on the new rect?

#

except when you change enemy_movement, enemy_rect had already been calculated prior to that

#

maybe this is the problem

#

enemy_rect is not going to save the changes made to enemy_movement until you recalculate enemy_rect

frank spear Nov 13, 2020, 12:32 AM

#

hm

#

I see

#

so I should implement enemy_rect to the collision code as well?

livid dove Nov 13, 2020, 12:35 AM

#

    
    if collisions['right']:
        enemy_movement[1] = [-1, 0]
    if collisions['left']:
        enemy_movement[1] = [1, 0]
    if enemy_y_momentum > 3:
        enemy_y_momentum = 3
    if collisions['bottom']:
        enemy_x_momentum = 0
        air_timer = 0```

#

are these ifs supposed to effect enemy_rect?

frank spear Nov 13, 2020, 12:36 AM

#

they are supposed to check for possible colllisions

livid dove Nov 13, 2020, 12:37 AM

#

display.blit(enemy_image,(enemy_rect.x - scroll[0], enemy_rect.y - scroll[1]))

#

except as soon as you do this, none of those ifs changed anything

#

because you only changed enemy_movement and enemy_momentum

#

post more code

frank spear Nov 13, 2020, 12:38 AM

#

ok

livid dove Nov 13, 2020, 12:40 AM

#

your code is just really wierd

#

I do a lot of grid stuff but this is wierd

#

no offense

frank spear Nov 13, 2020, 12:41 AM

#

sorry

#

this is really my first time trying pygame

livid dove Nov 13, 2020, 12:41 AM

#

it's ok

frank spear Nov 13, 2020, 12:41 AM

#

okay so here's some more code

#

enemy_y_momentum = 0
enemy_x_momentum = 0
enemy2_y_momentum = 0
enemy2_x_momentum = 0
air_timer = 0

true_scroll = [0,0]


player_rect = pygame.Rect(50, 50, player_image.get_width(), player_image.get_height())
enemy_rect = pygame.Rect(50, 50, enemy_image.get_width(), enemy_image.get_height())```

#

that set up the hitboxes

#

and the variables for momentum

livid dove Nov 13, 2020, 12:42 AM

#

so wait is this not a tile-based grid?

frank spear Nov 13, 2020, 12:43 AM

#

well It's a 2-d platformer, are you asking to see how I made the map?

livid dove Nov 13, 2020, 12:43 AM

#

nvm

frank spear Nov 13, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

I see

#

no It isn't a tile-based game

livid dove Nov 13, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

ok so first, I'm not sure why Rect is getting 3 arguments, it's supposed to be x,y,x,y or (x,y),(x,y)

#

unless get_width is returning width and height?

frank spear Nov 13, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

player_image.get_height gets the height

#

those two numbers spawn the actaul character and enemy

livid dove Nov 13, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

sorry, I didn't see the 2nd line of that, nemvermind

frank spear Nov 13, 2020, 12:49 AM

#

no problem

livid dove Nov 13, 2020, 12:54 AM

#

I think I am the wrong person to help, sorry

#

anyone have experience making android games with python, using recent technology?

#

I want to know if anyone has found a good way since it is still a new thing

#

something without many limitations and only knowledge of python needed

#

something I can release as a professional app

#

native UI and/or cross platform is a plus

#

game dev/gpu capabilities are a plus but not necessary

#

by "good way" I mean advice from somebody who has tried different libraries and actually finished a game

#

I need to get this game out ASAP

#

I once used Kivy and compiled an android app using linux. It is not suitable for professional work

#

It might be better now, but it's still not native. If it works good with pygame now I might try it again

#

but honestly I would rather use something else

#

and how is the new pygame for that matter?

How can i overload the constructors like it's done in pygame? I tried to search in pygame source but Rect is implemented in C

📎 unknown.png

#

import pygame

class PhysicObj(object):
    def __init__(self, x, y, w, h):
        self.rect = pygame.Rect(x, y, w, h)

    def __init__(self, pos, size):
        self.rect = pygame.Rect(pos, size)
    
    def move(self, movement, platforms):
        pass


p = PhysicObj(10, 20, 30, 40)
p = PhysicObj((10, 20), (20, 30))
``` e.g this doesn't work

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "physic.py", line 14, in <module>
p = PhysicObj(10, 20, 30, 40)
TypeError: init() takes 3 positional arguments but 5 were given

honest monolith Nov 13, 2020, 9:28 AM

#

they probably check the parameter types, you can't do overloading

sharp hornet Nov 13, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

do everybody use just pygame because i dont have pygame.
I make games by importing the turtle module does anybody else do like that?

#

I make games by the turtle module*

dawn quiver Nov 13, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

@sharp hornet imo turtle is not good for gamedev

#

atleast i used it to learn for and while loops years back 😅

fair tulip Nov 13, 2020, 6:04 PM

#

@sand granite overloading is not typically the go-to.

you can setup a (self, *args, **kwargs) method

#

PhysicObj(pos=(10,20), size=(20,30))
PhysicObj(10, 20, 20, 30)

#

to access pos or size

#

kwargs["pos"], kwargs["size"],
kwargs.get("pos") to check if pos was a given keyword argument
kwargs,get("size") to check if size was a given keyword argument

#

or, to futher extend your method.
try doing this

p = PhysicObj(10, 20, 30, 40)
p = PhysicObj(*(10,20), *(20,30))

last moon Nov 14, 2020, 1:53 AM

#

you haven't started the window

#

or inited anything actually

#

so before any mechanics, you need pygame.init() to start the window
and window/win/surface/whatever you want to call it = pygame.display.set_mode(arguments)

Hey @dawn quiver!

It looks like you tried to attach a Python file - please use a code-pasting service such as https://paste.pythondiscord.com

dawn quiver Nov 14, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

@dawn quiver Can you post your code at the pastebin or something?

#

I can't copy it.

#

I'm new to that so idk

#

I will try though

#

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

#

@dawn quiver here you go, any help will be appreciated

#

@dawn quiver Why are you using move_ip? In PyGame Doc Same as the Rect.move() method, but operates in place., that means, returns nothing.

#

Ohh

#

Thank you, I'll try it

#

@dawn quiver that did nothing

#

Also, even if you change to Rect.move it won't work either.

#

Of course.

#

Why?

#

ball_pos is a list, so it doesn't has topleft attribute.

#

So, we should provide topleft?

#

You should learn how the PyGame coordinates works, you are mixing x and y coordinates with top, left, bottom, right and its variations

#

I know them

#

Its variations means topleft, topright, etc

#

Yeha I know @dawn quiver

#

But for move_ip, should we provide topleft as the parameter?

#

@dawn quiver

#

@dawn quiver The top right coordinate of a Surface is (width, 0). If you want to move to the center of the surface, for example, then you have to move in the negative x direction, but in the positive y direction rather than the negative y direction.

#

@dawn quiver I am actually trying to make a breakout type of game

last moon Nov 14, 2020, 3:10 PM

you could/should move ball into a class

dawn quiver Nov 14, 2020, 3:11 PM

So the circle rec is the ball

#

And it moves to random poses

#

That's why move_ip

#

you could/should move ball into a class
@last moon actually I want to do it without classes

@dawn quiver
@lament hamlet is there a name to it?

lament hamlet Nov 15, 2020, 3:23 AM

#

@dawn quiver not that I know of. But its O(N*2) which is way better than O(N^2).

#

You can rewrite it to be O(N)

#

have no idea what O(N*2), O(N^2), or O(N) mean

#

but O(N) looks easier to digest

I would read something like this -> https://stackabuse.com/big-o-notation-and-algorithm-analysis-with-python-examples/ its is called Big O it gives you an idea on how fast something is

Thanks @last moon , the issue AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'topleft' was resolved, but I got another problem

pygame 1.9.6
Hello from the pygame community. https://www.pygame.org/contribute.html

I did what you suggested

here is the code

#

im assuming that means either circle_rec.x or circle_rec.y is too large

#

I don't see any handling for vertical movement

dawn quiver Nov 15, 2020, 6:36 AM

#

I don't see any handling for vertical movement
@last moon like what do you mean

#

Should add exception for that?

last moon Nov 15, 2020, 6:37 AM

#

if right and player_rect.right < 1364:
  player_rect.x += speed
elif left and player_rect.left > 2:
  player_rect.x -= speed```

#

you have handling for the horizontal

#

not the vertical

dawn quiver Nov 15, 2020, 6:37 AM

#

that is the bottom paddle

#

like in breakout

last moon Nov 15, 2020, 6:37 AM

#

ok then you don't have any handling

#

the ball isn't going to collide with the window, it's going to keep going

dawn quiver Nov 15, 2020, 6:38 AM

#

like in breakout

#

the paddle moves only in horizontal

#

not vertical

#

so

#

ohhh

last moon Nov 15, 2020, 6:39 AM

#

OverflowError: signed short integer is greater than maximum
I'm assuming this is because your circle_rec is trying to be drawn outside the window

dawn quiver Nov 15, 2020, 6:39 AM

#

oh

#

I see it now

#

I'll add exception around move_ip() itself

Hey guys I would like to ask about how to delay a function for 2seconds (its like a skill cooldown)

fierce wraith Nov 15, 2020, 9:01 AM

#

@willow mirage i would do that by masking off the rest of the image using a mask like this.
Pillow has a great function called putalpha that will set the mask as the alpha value for the image.

📎 2RltR0S.png

#

mask = Image.open('mask.png').convert('L')
im = Image.open('image.png')
mask = mask.resize((im.size), Image.ANTIALIAS)

im.putalpha(mask)

im.save("out.png")

#

here is the full script after playing with it a bit:

from PIL import Image

mask = Image.open("mask.png")
mask = mask.split()[-1]
im = Image.open("image.png")
mask = mask.resize((im.size), Image.ANTIALIAS)
im.putalpha(mask)

im.save("out.png")

#

a higher res mask

📎 mask.png

#

produces this output

📎 out.png

Thanks a lot Leterax ! I will try to do as you said ! Have a great day 😄

hi there, im currently working on a game through the coding engine "renpy", and i'm stuck - let's say i have a list of words, and i want to choose random words and put them in a choice menu. is there a way to do it without making a pre-set menu?
also, i wanna guarantee there will always be one word that already appeared and one that did not.

dawn quiver Nov 15, 2020, 1:19 PM

mmm

dawn quiver Nov 15, 2020, 3:31 PM

can u reapeat in other words please ?

Hey, lately I've been working on a little game which his main idea is images falling from the sky,
and you have to catch them with moving right and left.
I am struggeling now to get the objects to fall from the sky each xxx seconds, without getting the code lagging with threads. Can anyone suggest an idea to implement this?

#

pygame library ↑

@ for answer

severe saffron Nov 15, 2020, 11:21 PM

#

array of current images which you add one to if the current time is such that it's been long enough?

#

@unique narwhal

solar sail Nov 16, 2020, 12:10 AM

#

@unique narwhal add a counter variable that updates every tick or so. And then every Z ticks, create a new image?

#

This shouldn't be too laggy especially if your game is running at a set fps

@unique narwhal the python scheduling library would be great for thus

It's called sched

somber creek Nov 16, 2020, 12:18 PM

#

@fierce wraith Would that also work in tkinter?

last moon Nov 16, 2020, 12:29 PM

#

@somber creek you could 'easily' do it in tkinter or pyqt/pyside2

somber creek Nov 16, 2020, 12:30 PM

#

how could I easily do it in tkinter?

last moon Nov 16, 2020, 12:33 PM

#

I said 'easily' but you need an update function
looks like tkinter.Frame.after is used for that if you use OOP
create buttons wt colours and handle the logic based on which button is pressed
after pressing, update the frame with new colours

somber creek Nov 16, 2020, 12:34 PM

ok but how would I make the round buttons?

Rounded button tkinter python

I am trying to get rounded buttons for my script using tkinter.

I found the following code:

from tkinter import *
import tkinter as tk

class CustomButton(tk.Canvas):
def init(self, parent,

#

just do that but with circles

somber creek Nov 16, 2020, 12:36 PM

#

Ive already made circles and then tried to to put buttons behind the circle but that did not work

last moon Nov 16, 2020, 12:37 PM

#

the buttons should be attached to the circles otherwise you'll have to update the screen + define which colour is behind which button

#

but you can load an image onto the button which im assuming will be easier

#

might have to play around with randomization tho because you won't be able to change the colour unless you reload the image

#

so you can move the button instead

#

and the button will be directly correlated with that colour

somber creek Nov 16, 2020, 12:39 PM

#

Ive also been able to put circles onto the button

#

but the problem is I get errors when trying to do multiple even when assigning variables?

@somber creek

somber creek Nov 16, 2020, 12:58 PM

oh nvm i figured out that I can use a canvas to upload multiple images, but if I wanted to access only 1 of the image i would have to put canvas.image name right?

no clue

So if pygames is used to make 2D games what’s a good one to make 3D games? @ me if answer me 😀

patent ruin Nov 16, 2020, 2:41 PM

#

There's Panda3D. Haven't used it though. So I cannot tell you enough about it.

#

@waxen nebula forgot to do this

last moon Nov 16, 2020, 2:43 PM

#

panda is pretty good from what I've seen

#

pyglet's another great option, gets into c programming a bit too

#

you can use pyglet\OpenGL through arcade too, so having some pre-built features with access to the libraries

waxen nebula Nov 16, 2020, 2:45 PM

Wow thanks all look into both thanks 🙏🏻
