just assign one standard max velocity in the x and y axis respectively
then find out the angle the mouse is pointing from the thing that is shooting the bullet
then take sin and cos of that angle and multiply that with max velocity across y and x respectively

then update your bullets x and y points with the velocity

open the project and run the game you just use arrow keys to move its a zombie and when it touches a brain it and your score goes up by 1
my teacher for homework said that i have to add a nother character
that is in the sprites folde r as you can see if you go into the sprites folder
then session 3
there are zombies
and there are robots
he told me to add the robots into the game and make them move with w a s d
so basically i can control both characters
also open challenge.py
and run that one
that one is the one for how
its basicall t a done version of the game without the robot
and i have to add the robot
and make it move with w a s d keys
in the exact same way the zombie does
except with w a s d
also i use arcade library

How to do most basic game on py?

@magic gazelle depends what kind of game. Text based? graphics?
magic gazelle
no just text in IDLE
potent ice
Can start with something very simple. use input() to read text input from the user and react to that
bonus if you find a way to make your project a bit more organised using functions
low shadow
try making a simple hangman game using some reference u can find online
or just copy it and understand what each statement does
and make something new on your own
potent ice
That also works. Focus on understanding how every part of the program is working.

That also works. Focus on understanding how every part of the program is working...
yea
otherwise its pointless to build the game

Definitely. I see way too many newbie programmers skipping important steps in the learning process and get completely stuck when they try to make something bigger. It's so important to understand the details!

What in my code is making my sprites movements so terrible?
I'll press left arrow and nothing happens, I hold it down, nothing.
I spam it, sometimes it moves to the left
or gets stuck moving to the left
sometimes pressing left makes it go right
and vice versa
dawn quiver
@lean falcon you're only moving the ship right one pixel when the left key is released (so once)
the indentation is inconsistent as well, that's a big no-no in python
lean falcon
and that would cause the program not be able to move properly tho?
I hold left arrow and nothing happens, I spam it then stop and it non stop slides to the right
sometimes nothing happens
limpid gyro
I hold left arrow and nothing happens, I spam it then stop and it non stop slide...
becuz of a boolean
severe saffron
@lean falcon i don't really see how you would expect this to do anything else
the only time you move the ship is when the user has released the left arrow key
you ignore your ship.moving_left and moving_right variables completely

@arctic fjord You can definitely make more advanced things than snake. What tools are you using?
radiant echo
how do I make images disappear when clicked in pygame
potent ice
Break down the problem into smaller parts.
You probably need to look at the mouse position when clicked and figure out if the mouse is selecting one of the clickable objects.
Then you remove that object for the next frame you draw
This is not too complicated with rectangles at least
Sprites have collidepoint that can help
severe saffron
i feel like we should have some kind of guide for that kind of problem solving, cause a lot of answers to those sorts of questions are kind of explaining the same things, and while it's very valuable it feels like something which a lot of people miss out on
i guess it's 'asking the specific question you want an answer to' or the bit of the problem you're stuck on
although often it's really useful for the person to get an overview of an approach to solving their problem
potent ice
That also kind of depends on the library you are using.

if you are using a virtual environment in PyCharm then I have no clue, pip install pymunk should install it for everywhere, so it will be also available in PyCharm (unless venv)

how do game engines deal with frame rate with accordance to time? for example when moving a character, it would certainly travel farther if the frame rate is higher right?

You keep track of time passed
I usually have a timer giving me time (seconds elapsed since the game started) and a frame_time being the delta time since last frame.
Some game libraries have this built in

Try to increase enemyNX_change and enemyNY_change
oh lol I never thought it would be that simple
that worked
tho I am a bit confused why they suddenly slowed down after adding a background
potent ice
That is also a good idea, but nothing wrong with hard coding absolute paths to begin with
potent ice
tho I am a bit confused why they suddenly slowed down after adding a background
Probably because your framerate was insane before you did that

Does anyone know how to make animations for your character while moving or standing still?
And implement it?

Load the animation images into a list and whenever you move the character you cycle through your list

Guys so I'm using pygame to make a game
and when the lives drops down to 0, I want the player to drop out of the screen
but the boundaries prevent it from doing that
so how do I make it drop down
I don't wanna disable the boundaries while someone is playing either
worldly flare
Guys so I'm using pygame to make a game
just increase the y value of player
worldly flare
just increase the y value of player
this way you dont even have to disable anything
worldly flare

dawn quiver
If I increase the Y value the boundary function stops him from dropping out

hey, first of all you shoukld add a clock object else you will have problem with speed and making your game framerate independent
dawn quiver
I will google how to do that
worldly flare
but I want to show him dropping down and out of the screen instead of magically ...
make a value for gravity such as 0.6 or something play with these value and you will get a value which is good for you drop down effect
worldly flare
I will google how to do that
this is the code: clock = pygame.time.Clock()
dawn quiver
this is the code: clock = pygame.time.Clock()
just put that at the beginning of the code or in my main loop
worldly flare

just a quick advice 60 is great for frame rate and most game's run on 60 fps
dawn quiver
I think I will increase because the game is still very slow
worldly flare
ok I put it in
also, higher fps will provide higher speed
did you use clock.tick(60) in your main loop
dawn quiver
well not that slow but kind of slow
I'll try to experiment with something bw 60 and 120
the game is lagging a lot
no matter what value
worldly flare
well not that slow but kind of slow
also,in youtube search how to make your game frame rate independent in pygame, a youtuber called DaFluffyPotato will appear you can watch him
dawn quiver
ok
worldly flare
the game is lagging a lot
would you like to show me your code as, it can be because of your code
worldly flare
the game is lagging a lot
also make sure you are not using so many loops for no purpose

Hey @dawn quiver!
dawn quiver
ok here it is
worldly flare
let me check
worldly flare
ok here it is
I think i am sure its your CODE! yeah,its your code
dawn quiver
yes it is mine
worldly flare
so,the problem is your approach to write code
dawn quiver
wydm?
worldly flare
wydm?
I mean just try to use OOP in your code it will make coding way easier and efficient
dawn quiver
is there anything I can do about my game lagging?
worldly flare
is there anything I can do about my game lagging?
yeah you can split your code into various files(dont split them into so many as it takes time to find file) this will make it more clleaner to read
and to eliminate lag you have to use OOP in yoour code to learn it watch the tutorial series by the youtuber i suggested he is really good at explaining stuff.
dawn quiver
Ok thank you I will try that
worldly flare
and also you are using lot of unnecessary stuff in main loop which can be done outside the loop
this will decrease the game speed
as the game have to do many things in single frame and doing so many things will definitely make your game slow
frank fieldBOT
Hey @worldly flare!
worldly flare
👍
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ocewacimul.lua this is my code just try to understand the approach
dawn quiver
right now the problem is that he doesn't go out of the screen
when the game is over
if lives_value == 0:
playerX == 2000
enemy1Y == 2000
enemy2Y == 2000
enemy3Y == 2000
enemy4Y == 2000
enemy5Y == 2000
the boundary function stops them for doing it
I need some way to stop the boundary function when game is over i.e lives are 0
worldly flare
what is boundary function doing?
dawn quiver
def boundaries():
if playerY <= 0:
playerY = 0
elif playerY >= 536:
playerY = 536
boundaries = True
this is the boundary function
worldly flare
you can make a bool for this blocking = true
dawn quiver
I want it to stop
worldly flare
I want it to stop
why dont you just make boundaries = false
if playerY <= 0 and boundaries == true:
playerY = 0
dawn quiver
I want it to stop when lives reach 0
worldly flare
here is added another condition for your if statement
dawn quiver
def boundaries():
if playerY <= 0:
playerY = 0
elif playerY >= 536:
playerY = 536
blocking = True
if blocking == True:
boundaries()
how is this?
I added what you said
worldly flare
```
def boundaries():
if playerY <= 0:
playerY = 0
...
let me write a code for you
dawn quiver
that would be very nice of you
worldly flare
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/fuweditezu.yaml here when boundaries is false and the player life == 0 then the boundaries will not work
is it fine or you want someting else you can just type the condition in if statement adn if the condition is true then boundaries will work else they will not
dawn quiver
now the boundaries are not working from the start
the player can go out of the screen
worldly flare
now the boundaries are not working from the start
its because the players value is not zero before it dies

@low shadow You can create games with great performance and lots of objects on the screen using python. Pick the right tools for the job. Also you can combine C/C++ with python to optimize specific parts. With what game library did you have this problem?

I dont think you can display it with tkinter in pygame window
they will be 2 seperate windows...

or you might be able to change tkinter's location on screen to match pygame's window location
i dont really know if there is a command for that tho

zenith parcel
I want to make a 2D game with lots of self-made "eye candy", including self-designed particle effects and shapes fading in and out of opacity and randomly moving light sources and all that craziness.
I've been using Pygame for the past twelve years, and I've remained entirely out-of-touch with recent developments in new Python libraries that are available. While Pygame is a fantastically easy-to-use library, it doesn't seem to be super friendly when it comes to "dynamic graphics" (...for lack of a better term) and can also be very slow when individual-pixel-access is involved.
My question is, is there a better tool for the job? What options do I have as alternatives?
frozen knoll
For particle effects I recommend using shadera.
The Arcade library is pretty friendly if you want to dive into opengl graphics.
dawn quiver
What would be a lightweight game engine for python that focuses more on game logic rather than graphics. It could be for text based games or minimal 2d graphics but ideally an active / modern project that has some community. Is there such a thing?

It's definitely more focused on game logic

mystic lodge
@potent ice is arcade a good game engine for python?
is it more complex than pygame?
potent ice
It's much simpler and has lots of docs and tutorials
It probably has more limitations though
Every library have pros and cons
@gleaming zealot Use our code pasting service instead : https://paste.pythondiscord.com/
gleaming zealot
pls someone help me im desperate ive been trying to figure this out for 2 days now
potent ice
What exactly are do you need help with?
gleaming zealot
So im trying to make a bot i guess that places randomly pieces, so lets say you are a player and the bot being the opponent
potent ice
How advanced is this supposed to be?
potent ice
Ok, so the bot is just supposed to pick a random free cell?
gleaming zealot
well how do i put it in words, i guess it should choose random free cells but also know that 3 in a row makes you win
the bot should be able to win
but not too advanced
potent ice
So it should only place the 3rd symbol if that makes a win?
potent ice
I guess the mus() function can respond (after the player symbol is added)
Should be 8 in total including diagonals
You could prepare a list of indices for each of them
[
(0, 1, 2), # top row
(3, 4, 5), # middle row
...
]
Those are the indices in pjaser
Also a bonus with english varaible names and comments 🙂
wise vine
what font is that?
gleaming zealot
[
(0, 1, 2), # top row
(3, 4, 5), # middle row
(6, 7, 8), # last row
]
like this?
@wise vine im using IDLE
potent ice
yeah just an idea so you can just loop that. need 8 of them
For each entry throw them in a new list with 3 elements. Then you can simply use count() ```python
["X", "X", ""].count("X")
2
Might be smarter ways, but this is at least simple
You can test this logic in a separate script as well.
gleaming zealot
so i guess if (spelbord [i] == "") the bot places a piece where i being i = 0; i < 9
bruh im not even sure on what im typing
im so lost
potent ice
Start simple and find the free positions and make the bot just pick a random one
>>> board = ["X", "", ""]
>>> free_positions = [i for i, v in enumerate(board) if v == ""]
>>> free_positions
[1, 2]
>>> import random
>>> random.choice(free_positions)
1
Maybe this can give you some ideas
Looks up enumerate, list comprehension and the random module and understand what it is
gleaming zealot
looked it up
so enumerate tells the program the empty spots in Board
how would the program know when its empty or full though
also is it the index or element in this case
proper peak
how would the program know when its empty or full though
it's the listcomp that checks that
if v == ""
gleaming zealot
oh thats so obv
its 4 am here sorry xD
alright let me try it out
do i stick the code under mus()?
nvm i do
this is what i get
oh wait a sec
nvm
im sorry for being a pain in the ass, i would gladly send you over money if yall need me to
@potent ice u there? sorry for pinging
potent ice
It means exactly what it states. It cannot choose(..) from an empty list, so you need to check for that
potent ice
Sure. It can be depending on your code
Paste the relevant code snippet
use !codeblock if you can
!codeblock
frank fieldBOT
gleaming zealot
oh okie
free_positions = [i for i, v in enumerate(pjaser) if v == ""]
random.choice(free_positions)
u mean this?
potent ice
!e ```python
pjaser = ["", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ""]
free_positions = [i for i, v in enumerate(pjaser) if v == ""]
random.choice(free_positions)
@potent ice :x: Your eval job has completed with return code 1.

print(random.choice(free_positions))
@potent ice :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.
4
im literally not able to sleep
the code is haunting me
so what ive been reading off is that i need to make a list of 1st row second and third
and when playing the game the code fills that list up
so for example if im placing a piece of X in the bottom left corner
[
("", "", ""), # top row
("", "", ""), # middle row
("X", "", ""), # last row
]
and the enumerate goes on from that list and choses a free random place where the bot places the piece
potent ice
nono. ignore that list for now. We're simplifying the scope by having the bot just pick a random free position
One step at a time 😉
Isolate one problem at a time and solve only that problem
gleaming zealot
okay! 🙂
so my current issue would be that there isnt a list for the bot to choose from
potent ice
paste the code again here : https://paste.pythondiscord.com/
free_positions = [i for i, v in enumerate(pjaser) if v == ""]
if free_positions:
ai_position = random.choice(free_positions)
print("Picked position", ai_position)
else:
print("No free positions")
printing stuff is always a good idea to see what is happening
if free_positions will be false if the list is empty
Once you understand the code better you can remove the prints
(or keep them.. personal preference)
You can also check if len(free_positions) > 0 or if len(free_positions) == 0
It's just that the truthiness of an empty list itself is False
!e ```python
print([] is False)
print([1, 2, 3] is True)
@potent ice :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.
001 | False
002 | False
@potent ice :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.
001 | False
002 | True
That is better
gleaming zealot
Alrighty
so this is what ive came up with
if free_positions:
ai_position = random.choice(free_positions)
print("Picked position", ai_position)
else:
print("No free positions")
if len(free_positions) == 0:
print(bool([]))
print(bool([1, 2, 3]))```The last if is pointless here 😉
All you need to do is to figure out how to place the computer's symbol based on ai_position
potent ice
free_positions = [i for i, v in enumerate(pjaser) if v == ""]
if free_positions:
ai_position = random.choice(free_positions)
print("Picked position", ai_position)
# Place the comptuers symbol
pjaser[ai_position] = "X" # Or is it "O"?
# We might also need to draw it?
else:
print("No free positions")
You already know how to determine box from an x and y position, so now you need to do it in reverse
Could also make those into functions to make things a bit cleaner
cold storm
gleaming zealot
so in this case i determine where i want the bot to place the random pieces along with where, and also who and what position the bot starts on via the cords of box
potent ice
@cold storm looking good 🙂

basically you are seeing about 2.5 hours of coding
and about 4 minutes of scene setup
potent ice
Yup. That's what I thought. Good results in that amount of time

Hey @cold storm!
gleaming zealot
einarf thank you very much for ur help hopefully you have a good night sleep, if you need compensation for the help just throw away a dm and ill gladly send over some money! ill i guess work on this tomorrow and hopefully finish it somehow even though im lost asf
potent ice
@gleaming zealot No problem. Don't compensate people for helping here.
@cold storm Looks clean. Pathfinding mesh, collision etc. Makes perfect sense.

It's definitely more focused on game logic
I am taking a look at it. The need for opengl might be a limitation but maybe its optional if you actually dont draw sprites
dawn quiver
it is very nice, gg 🙂

print("Picked position", ai_position)
pjaser[ai_position] = "X"
else:
print("No free positions")
len(free_positions) == 0
print(bool([]))
print(bool([1, 2, 3]))```Thank you
BUt it still doesn't do aonything
potent ice
@gleaming zealot The only thing you need to do is drawing the symbol the AI is placing
pjaser[ai_position] = "X"
# -> Draw the X here
And of curse make sure that the player only places O symbols
gleaming zealot
okay so should i paste this under that code you sent
pjaser[ai_position] = "X":
def Cross(x,y):
up()
goto(x+20, y-20)
setheading(-45)
down()
forward(226)
up()
goto(x+180, y-20)
setheading(-135)
down()
forward(226)
up()```like this?^
potent ice
just call the Cross(x, y) function
The job is to figure out what x and y is based on the ai_position
You already calculate box (It's also an array position) from the x and y position of the mouse
so you should be able to do that in reverse
pjaser[ai_position] = "X"
# Draw the X symbol, but we need to figure out what x and y is!
Cross(x, y)
so cross(x, y) cords of each box
pjaser[ai_position] = "X"
# Draw the X symbol, but we need to figure out what x and y is!
Cross(x, y)```Well at least for the box the ai placed
It's turtle. You just keep adding to the canvas
gleaming zealot
so this is for the Bot starting position which is in the middle, so i need the cords x , y for the middle box correct
potent ice
You are moving ahead too fast
ai_position can be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8
Those represents all the positions on the board
If need to make a function or code snippet calculating where turtle is supposed to draw it
This is an x and y posiiton
You already convert a click position to an array position ```python
def mus(x,y):
global Omvant, pjaser
radda = (x+300) // 200
rad = (-y+300) // 200
box = radda + rad*3
box = int(box)
pjaser[box] = Omvant
ai_position would be the same as box here. You need to do the reverse figuring out x and y based on the box value.
Just try something and print the values
gleaming zealot
alright so let me get this straight, ai_position[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8], im supposed to turn these numbers into cords for the turtle to print out, in mus() i did it from cords to numbers in the grid, and here i have to do from numbers to cords
potent ice
Just the one position it picked
for example ... 7!
The ai picked position 7 and you have to plot that to the screen with turtle
You need a formula like the one you already have (in reverse) : #game-development message
dawn quiver
Do someone here have good platform tutorial

Ive been trying to figure this crap out for 1 hr now with no success 😞
potent ice
@gleaming zealot What did you try?
gleaming zealot
Trying to understand, but i can’t seem to figure it out
potent ice
Where are you stuck exactly?
gleaming zealot
Literally where we left off
potent ice
and why are you stuck? What is the question?
@gleaming zealot https://paste.pythondiscord.com/oqubekuzel.apache
gleaming zealot
I’m not sure on what to do to solve the issues I have
potent ice
What about that?
gleaming zealot
Yup exactly
Okay 1 sec
-
my issue is that i both have to start for myself and for the bot before the bot starts picking random locations
-
also i would love for the bot to start in the middle position with X, where im O
3.Also i can place both X and O on the same position (overlining it)
potent ice
So you did solve the first problem we worked on?
The version I posted works fine except that the user picks the first position
blissful depot
Is there a good server for Python Arcade?
because it is showing promise and I will most likely need help... lots of help.
gleaming zealot
thats how it is currently
einar if you could help me make 1 position placing for the bot ill try doing the rest
like if you show the code for 1 piece so that i understand ill try later on to do it for the rest
potent ice

Is Arcade or Pygame better for an intermediate programmer
potent ice
It really depends what you want to make
pygame is a bit more flexible, but low level. Arcade is higher level
A difference is also that Arcade use the gpu and are mainly limited to run on win, linux and mac
While pygame is possible to run in more environments
Arcade is much more powerful related to how much you can draw per frame
It's all about tradeoffs
blissful depot
ok

how famous is arcade compared to pygame?

thats good
i thought i had to go through some extra stuff for arcade

extra stuff? 🙂

ig arcade is good, but idk
code on the graphics card is always faster and games require lot of calc

extra stuff? 🙂
i assumed there might be some problems converting from cpu to gpu based programs

Nah. It's fairly high level. You work with Sprites mainly

kinda depends if u wanna make a game or learn how a game works
the same as telling using an engine to make a game or making an engine and a game
potent ice
Well. Its not that high level. It gets you started faster

pygame and pyglet are like graphics/media libraries while arcade is a bit closer to a game engine
You still need to do the work though
