potent ice
What kind of game?
potent ice
So a 3D game?
potent ice
Or you can use Panda3D directly
That's at least the easiest way to make that kind of game with python
You can use other game/graphics libraries as well, but those are more low level (more effort)
If you have never worked with 3D before and find this very difficult you might want to try something 2D first 🙂
There is a Panda3D discord server as well

Hi guys, I tried to make a simple game in which a player can shoot after a 3 seconds countdown to increase his score. However, if the player shoots, before the countdown ends, I want him to get minus points at his score. Everything is working fine, however I have one problem: I tried to deal with the countdown with a simple "time.sleep()" function, however, while I was running the "if" statement, the player was unable to shoot... can anyone help me? Im using pygame...
waiting = True
if event.type == pygame.KEYUP:
#If the player presses "g" the game begins
**if event.key == pygame.K_g:**
**pygame.time.wait(1000)**
**print("3")**
**pygame.time.wait(1000)**
**print("2")**
**pygame.time.wait(1000)**
**print("1")**
**pygame.time.wait(1000)**
**print("GO")**
**waiting = False**
#If the player shoots while "waiting" is true, he gets points subtracted
**if waiting:**
**score_value -= 1**
**else:**
**score_value += 1**
The countdown works, but while it is running, the player is unable to shoot bullets... Can anyone help?

well either way you're not moving anything physically
either way you only draw the bits of the terrain that you need to draw, from a performance perspective those two are exactly identical just with positive instead of negative numbers

any game engine that uses python
two most well-known "game engines" that use python are pygame and godot, but technically godot uses a seperate language called GDScript that is similar in syntax to python but is mostly different from what i've heard. but there's a lot more like kivy, arcade, and etc. check out pins if you're interested in those
potent ice
@hushed bear pygame is not really a game engine. It's a lower level graphics/media library.
When people say "game engine" it's not always easy to know what they mean
Outside of python a "game engine" or "game framework" is probably Unity, UE4, Godot etc, but that's often not what people are asking about in the context of python programming.
Might be better to say "high level" and "low level" game/media libraries
Low level libraries can for example be: pygame, pyglet, pySDL, OpenGL, Kivy
High level libraries can be : Panda3D, Ursina, Arcade, cocos2d, Wasbi2D, RenPy etc
crisp junco
alr so i use pygame, is there any way to make a button inside of the game which ...
The basic concept is you need to make a rectangle and then check if the coordinates of the cursor when mouse button is clicked lies in the rectangle then you can just do pygame.quit() and sys.exit()

It's really just an image

What makes it a sprite is the additional functionality they provide. For example collision detection

your for loop iterates over pygame.event.get()

hi guys
is there anyone who makes 3D games with Python?
i just wanna make some but i can't find how to
if you use any game engine, please tell me which one should i learn
valid seal
Godot it probably your best choice
Though I'm not entirely sure if it supports vanilla python
wide smelt
hmm
valid seal
what I do know is that it has its own language very similar to python
But I believe I saw something at some point about support for normal CPython
wide smelt
i actually found a engine that creates only 3D but it's not popular and this creates a problem
the engine called UPBGE
valid seal
Never heard of it
wide smelt
i want to use it but because it's not popular, it creates a problem for support
valid seal
wide smelt
what i mean is that if you had any problem it's hard to find solution bc there is so few people using it and they might not have seen this problem before
valid seal
Ok after a quick google search it doesn't seem that CPython is supported
but if you already know python
learning GDscript shouldn't be hard
wide smelt
thx
i heard about Panda3D
is it good?
i don't prefer only-script engines
because you gotta see another things
and make them with your hand i guess
so do you think Panda3D is good?

@woeful brook This is a python discord and help in DMs is not a good thing.
potent ice
Wdym?
Yes. It's a huge misconception that python is too slow for games. It really infuriates me at times.
Should you make cutting edge AAA games with python? Probably not.
.. but there is a lot of area between a simple "pong" game and a cutting edge AAA game python can cover
Will it be harder than using a game engine with UI? Most likely.
Would you sometimes have to be a bit creative to make things run fast? Most likely.
.. but there is so much to learn from python game dev
potent ice
I think a lot of people start out with pygame and judge python game development from that experience alone
There are other options out there. Pygame is awesome for what it was built for. If you need more performance or use the gpu more efficiently there are lots of other options.

what's the difference?
potent ice
@last moon pre-calculating the curve in python vs having a shader do it realtime
Can be translated to python of course 🙂
There are simpler curves as well. Points with tangents.
Then you have Catmull-Rom splines (easier)
last moon
oh so you'd iterate through that to get your line?
potent ice
Iterate through what?
last moon
the bezier function you just sent
potent ice
As long as you have an extra start and end point 🙂
With splines you normally calculate p1 -> p2 when passing in p0, p1, p2, p3
They needs the info from neighbors
last moon
so does a spline interpolate the rest of the pixels based on the start & end point + 2 other points on the curve?
my understanding of a bezier curve was that it uses the start & end but 2 control points that aren't on the curve
last moon
vectors 
potent ice
Well. points unless they are tangents I guess 😄
These are great for NPC pathing for example : http://graphics.cs.cmu.edu/nsp/course/15-462/Fall04/assts/catmullRom.pdf
Unless you like them moving in squares (depends on style)
last moon
ill take a look at it later, that's too much math rn 😄

You can find the simplified formula elsewhere 😉

sprite.vertex(x+100, y+100);
sprite.vertex(x, y+100);
sprite.vertex(x, y);```ah. That is a bit higher level.
last moon
I kinda figured considering it's a 100 course
potent ice
You still have to define the geometry. That is the important part 😉
The rest is just syntax differences I guess
I think processing is doing the rendering based on opengl version.
last moon
im pretty sure it is but the docs don't get too specific about it
potent ice
Still close enough!
last moon
ya idk im having fun with it and it's helping a lot of concepts that I've heard about/seen here click for me
I thought you literally told sprites to move, not that 'moving' was redrawing them
potent ice
Yeah you have to redraw everything per frame
Each frame starts with a blank screen
Usually the underlying graphics driver is exposing a double or triple buffered surface
You draw in the hidden surface and it's swapped to the front when ready
The previous surface is hidden and cleared ready for a new frame
Speed today relates to how much you can batch draw first an foremost
You have about 1000 draw calls per frame before it starts to become sluggish. Sprite systems will in most cases collect all the data and batch draw it all in the end.

Is there some sort of app to help me with it?

Just print out the mouse position?
I'm pretty sure 0,0 is upper left corner both for mouse coordinates and pixel coordinates

neat thanks ill have to look into it more
potent ice
neat thanks ill have to look into it more
If we're talking about simple sprite systems on the cpu it will of course be somewhat different. Moving all the sprite logic to gpu is not always that easy. You can still update data to gfx memory every time something changes. Stil.. most sprites will probably be rendered in one more more batches 🙂
You might have a buffer for sprite positions (xy)
Maybe a few more attributes like rotation/color or whatnot
.. but all that data is at least at some point synced up to gfx memory for drawing 🙂
A huge tilemap that doesn't change stays in gfx memory and are easy to just draw
Moving players and enemies is something completely different
In a 3D scene the cpu is often calculating rotations and translations, but the geometry is already ready on the gpu
There are ways to transform data on the gpu as well. Lots of techniques to solve common problems.

You are missing an argument for example.
Screen.blit() means draw something on the screen. But you didnt give the function anything to draw.
For example you could have a file called monkey.png
So you want to draw it.
You would go screen.blit(monkey.png)
Hope that helps
You have to put it in a while loop or it would appear for 1 second and dissappear

Do this
Lets say
Monkeyimg=pygame.image.load("monkey.png")
Then do
Screen.blit(Monkeyimg)

Unless u r going to use it multiple times for multiple images

You would have to store a state somewhere like a list. Keep track of when it was added using pygame.time.get_ticks() and remove it after some time.

Just assigned a variable to True or false
When collision happens it is true
When the player presses r it is false

is python actually useful for game making?
2d games? Maybe.
3d game? Absolutely no
Learn C++
coral anvil
yeah ok
tranquil girder
is python actually useful for game making?
Yes, it's great both for 2d and 3d. Symon doesn't know what they're talking about
Try ursina or panda3d
coral anvil
oh ok
tall vine
Yes, it's great both for 2d and 3d. Symon doesn't know what they're talking abou...
Oh really? Good for both? Are you gonna compare unity and unreal engine with ursina?
That is why most 3d games r made in C++
Python is good for data science AI and web development
Python isnt made for games
tall vine
oh ok
Python is good for data science AI and web development.
If you are into game development. I recommend C++ pokepetter dosent know what he is talking about. Most popular 3d games r made with C++ using Unreal engine or Unity. Which works with C++ and not python.
potent ice
This is the python discord. We like doing things with python 🙂

potent ice
@tall vine The thing is that for example Panda3D is written in C/C++, but the api is python
The same goes for moderngl. It's a python api written in C++ for performance
Even the same situation with numpy
It's a huge misconception that python is only good for data science, ai and web development. There is a lot you can learn from making games in python
Will it be easier than usingUnity or UE4? Probably not. Will you learn new things? Definitely.
coral anvil
thank you both
i actually asked if its efficent only to know.
i dont think you should say other people doesnt know what they are saying
to both of you
potent ice
Yes, there are probably better ways.
But .. @tall vine is kind of arguing with the creator of Ursina here.
potent ice
I do understand the frustration. Both me and pokepetter are developers on opensource game engine / graphics libraries for python.
potent ice
@tall vine Example: moderngl (python library) is C++ 🙂 : https://github.com/moderngl/moderngl/tree/master/moderngl/src

There's a fork called UPBGE now
oh F thx for that
tranquil girder
But even with ursina I use Blender as a level editor for 3d games
ripe basin
@tranquil girder do u use UPBGE ?
tranquil girder
And it's always a good idea to make a custom editor if you want to be productive. With unity for example, there's always a lot of work put into making tools anyway
tranquil girder
<@!247461552888741888> do u use UPBGE ?
No
But they post some updates on the development here sometimes
tranquil girder
I don't know, I haven't used it
It has good graphics, but I'm not sure about how it is to program for it. There's also the licensing issue

So guys, I been messing with pygame now for about 2 days, and I have built a 2D camera, scaling, and can basically load tilemaps up to 1500x1500 tiles from Tiled before Tiled whines and almost crashes 😅
All while getting around 180 fps with a core i5
I'd say pygame is pretty suitable for 2D games in such case. I mean 1500x1500 is kind of overkill, it was just a test. 😄
I know people say "For 2D games" but that isn't really self-explanatory. Something like Starbound is 2D and requires a decent PC to play, and it's even C++.
I think pygame+python is capable of doing something like Starbound but you'd definitely need to do some optimizations.
potent ice
It can definitely perform well. I'm not sure how well it would handle doing lights, but there might be some tricks.
frozen knoll
Do you render the tiles to a surface, then display? You don't draw 2.2 million tiles every 1/60 of a second, do you? Or is that sparsely populated?
potent ice
I assumed it was organized in chunks
potent ice
@solemn bridge right? 🙂
dawn quiver
you guys know how to use ursina? i just found out about it
solemn bridge
@frozen knoll @potent ice Kind of. I only render and process within a set tile radius around the player.
potent ice
ah ok, so it can be done faster by rendering to surfaces I guess.
Usually 4 surfaces each containing a chunk
Separate animating tiles drawing them manually etc

hello, I am making a somewhat game/assignment for my python class this semester, I have made it fully with turtle
But I cant seem to find out how I can stop a program when it hits the bin
this is the assignment
turtle.bgcolor("grey")
# Bin #
turtle.penup()
turtle.goto(200,-300)
turtle.pendown()
turtle.begin_fill()
for i in range(2):
turtle.forward(100)
turtle.right(90)
turtle.forward(20)
turtle.right(90)
turtle.end_fill()
# Bouncing Ball #
turtle.penup()
turtle.goto(0,0)
turtle.shape("circle")
turtle.penup()
x, y = 0, 0
xdir, ydir = 3, 3
xlimit, ylimit = turtle.window_width() / 2, turtle.window_height() / 2
while True:
x = x + xdir
y = y + ydir
if not -xlimit < x < xlimit:
xdir = -xdir
if not -ylimit < y < ylimit:
ydir = -ydir
turtle.goto(x, y)
turtle.mainloop()
Here is my code

Every time I use cmd prompt it sends me to Windows Store to install python 3.9 and I've already installed in with python installer.

I thought I had but I'm not sure. I don't recall checking the box before installing.

Uninstall it and reinstall it and hit the checkbox
see if you can run then, if not ill do research
dawn quiver
Yeah, I should try that.

Yes?
I installed the windows store version as well an it seems to work now. But I'm not sure if that is going to cause any confliction.

But I cant seem to find out how I can stop a program when it hits the bin
maybe you could put all the non setup stuff in a loop with a runnning flag, so when your ball hits the bin running = false and the program stops

exotic sparrow
is this classified as a 2d or 3d game:
potent ice
That would be 2D. It's an isometric tile map.
exotic sparrow
thank you
potent ice
Each tile has the same size. There is actually no perspective here
exotic sparrow
what would it be called if the tiles are straight on the vertical axis but still at that angle?
liek this:
but not exactly that
so the tiles are straight down but still at an angle
potent ice
still here are no perspective here.
The closest you can get to "3D" with that kind of setup is "2.5D" : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2.5D
potent ice
Even this 2.5D game does not have perspective projection. It uses parallel projection : https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4b/Lincity-ng.png
This has perspective projection : https://i2.wp.com/css-tricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/cube_min_ani.gif?ssl=1
This cube does not : https://media1.giphy.com/media/67sbrfNMsjwmTYwygV/giphy.gif

i tried making a credit card system
for example there are vip card, vip+ card, vip++ card, mvp card, mvp+ card, mvp+++ card, god card
i created 1 class for each card and at last a total of about 15 classes were made as they all have totally different features
is this how oop works im still learning

That's for what, a random int in some range?
If that's in seconds, you might want to check out numpy.random - it's faster if you need a lot of random numbers:
import random
for N in (10**i for i in range(0,5)):
%timeit [random.randrange(100) for i in range(N)]
Results:
1.14 µs ± 63.4 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000000 loops each)
6.58 µs ± 539 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100000 loops each)
57.4 µs ± 979 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10000 loops each)
626 µs ± 46.6 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000 loops each)
5.86 ms ± 308 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100 loops each)
With numpy's random:
import random,numpy as np
for N in (10**i for i in range(0,5)):
%timeit np.random.randint(0,100,N)
# starts off pretty slow:
18.3 µs ± 450 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10000 loops each)
19.8 µs ± 1.69 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10000 loops each)
# overtakes random at 100 elements:
18.8 µs ± 966 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10000 loops each)
27.3 µs ± 360 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10000 loops each)
# is 52 times faster at 10000 element:
112 µs ± 2.92 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10000 loops each)
for 1 million, random takes 622ms and numpy.random 10.2ms.

hi so I'm pretty much of a noob just finished a bootcamp and some other tutorials and was wondering whether a battleship game (with no GUI - just printing the board) is a realistic first on-my-own project. I already done some basic game projects like tic-tac-toe, war and blackjack (with classes and all) but not sure if a battleship project isn't a bit of a deep-water for beginners. what do y'all think?

self.image, self.rect = load_png('ball.png')
what is happening in the code
(dx,dy) = (z*math.cos(angle), z*math.sin(angle)) this is tuple unpacking ...ikr

```self.image, self.rect = load_png('ball.png')```
but wbt?

nvm i used pycharm to go to the function {load_png} implementation and discovered it returns two values img and rect.... and i totally forgot tuple unpacking can be done without without parenthesis.... i left python for long went creating apps with java lol

@void glacier Maybe use the modulo % operator on the mouse coordinates to figure out what box you are in? Then it should be a simple enough formula to find the center of each box.

To play music in loop just do pygame.mixer.music.play(-1)
So, the final code should be:
pygame.mixer.init()
pygame.mixer.music.set_endevent()

pygame.mixer.music.load(choice)
pygame.mixer.music.play()
