Mac being stuck at 4.1 has been bothering me for years.

If they squeeze Vulkan out then someone will have to make some kind of cross platform open source lib that wraps both, or it will be a nightmare to port stuff.

#

(At which point they might as well allow Vulkan to be a thing)

potent ice Mar 9, 2021, 5:02 AM

#

There is a reason many python game / media libraries are using GL 2.1 / 3.3 still

#

Can still do a lot with tranforms and geometry shaders.

#

.. and still support 8 year old hardware

#

Can even do simple SAT collision detection on gpu with that instead of making C/C++ module

#

Also it's not a complete waste to learn the GL pipeline and simple GLSL shaders. There is quite a bit of overlap with vulkan

#

But definitely use a higher level GL wrapper. Writing everything that is needed to get that up and running is.. not fun

#

So may pitfalls and weirdness it's not even funny

normal silo Mar 9, 2021, 5:22 AM

#

You mean creating the opengl context? Yeah that is a nightmare specific to the OS (all of them are terrible).

#

I also find it funny that the opengl headers are just on some random website rather than shipped with the OS.

#

(Or packed with an IDE like visual studio)

#

"SDK"

potent ice Mar 9, 2021, 5:25 AM

#

Yup. Got to parse the registry : https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KhronosGroup/OpenGL-Registry/master/xml/gl.xml

#

I had to make this to generate bindings for pyglet and moderngl : https://github.com/moderngl/opengl-registry

GitHub

moderngl/opengl-registry

A tool for extracting information from the OpenGL API Registry - moderngl/opengl-registry

#

Core context only, so it's not that bad

#

I hope no one is starting from scratch doing that for their own projects.

#

That xml file is what generates the header files

#

There are higher level libraries (for example pyglet and moderngl) that provides higher level abstractions for a buffer, program, texture etc. That's what I mean.

#

Playing with things on a higher level just learning simple shaders and the pipeline

#

It's not going to cut it for more fancy projects, but it's ok as a learning tool

you might want to take a look at asyncio.sleep(), it'll allow you to freeze the part you want while still drawing/updating the objects, or you could set up flags and count how many second have gone by:

# start of event
if # condition to start event:
  flag = False
  start = time.time()


  if time.time() - start == n_of_seconds:
    flag = True
  else:
    # event```

#

smthing like that

asyncio.sleep() would let you separate your logic a bit more tho

dawn quiver i want to get the current playing position but not in 2323, i want in 1:05 like ...

If that is the case you will need to just do the math

pygame.mixer.music.get_pos()
get the music play time
get_pos() -> time
This gets the number of milliseconds that the music has been playing for. The returned time only represents how long the music has been playing; it does not take into account any starting position offsets.

so if you want that you should convert it to min/sec and then display it

i think your next step at least for now would be to get this get_value you are writing to return you two things first is the mm:ss you wish to see but then also a second which is % of total song length. Percent of total song length looks easy if you did

percent_total = pygame.mixer.music.get_pos() / pygame.mixer.sound.get_length()

Find the Length of a Song with Pygame

I'm building an Radio Automation Program, but I can't figure out how to have a timer countdown the number of seconds left in the song. I'm currently using Pygame and don't really want to load another

#

that should tell you as a percentage how far though a song you are, although it should be a 0.95 rather than 95 so you may need to do it *100

ah ok ty i will try

dapper sky Mar 10, 2021, 8:14 PM

to get it into minutes and seconds that should be some simple math to get seconds it would just be pygame.mixer.music.get_pos()/1000 and then you could do some more math to get minutes/seconds remaining from that

In your code take a look at two things #1 in your initialization bit in the first screenshot look at the goto calls. unless i am reading this wrong you are putting them in the same x,y position you will want to change "where" they draw so they are seperate the #2 thing is i don't see you binding anything to paddle B so u can move it

Hi i’m looking for developers to develop a game on roblox based off the netflix series “The Order” if you don’t know what it is, it is:

When Belgrave University student Jack Morton joins a fabled secret society, the Hermetic Order of the Blue Rose, he is thrust into a world of magic, monsters and intrigue. Out to avenge his mother's death, he uncovers dark family secrets and lands in an underground battle being waged between werewolves and practitioners of dark magic. Assisting Jack in the fight is Alyssa, a tour guide at Belgrave and fellow member of the Order, which is led by Jack's estranged father.

Please dm me if you can help

But hello i have arrived for a question

#

I am trying to import a sprite for my python game and its supposed to 2d but i cant figure out how to actually get the sprite in the game. Am not using a game engine am using visual studio code. Ive been trying to search it up on how to actually code that (putting the sprite in the code/game)

potent ice Mar 12, 2021, 1:43 AM

#

What graphics / game library?

#

and by "not using a game engine", how are you planning to draw the sprite?

#

tkinter maybe?

#

Game / graphics libraries will give you better and easier access to efficient draw operations for (for example) sprites.

#

Unless you just want to display textured surfaces in tkinter (slow, but works) ..

last moon Mar 12, 2021, 3:06 AM

#

I sort of had a half-working camera but I realised both the player and the cam were moving together + I had an issue with negative indices and all that fun stuff

#

so I've now got a signal bus that updates both the player sprite + the camera to move (in opposite directions) and locks that dictate which one should actually move

potent ice Mar 12, 2021, 3:07 AM

#

Some of the simple examples are just adding walls with for loops like this : https://github.com/pythonarcade/arcade/blob/8b98302490b06e79ad470bfba74a89df43406cf0/arcade/examples/sprite_rooms.py#L53-L70

I want the 'camera' to move when the border of the map isn't visible and the player to be the one moving when it is

so the player will stay in the centre of the screen as long as the borders aren't being drawn

What does this have to do with tile maps? You are asking for a camera that follows the player, but not out of bounds.

potent ice Mar 12, 2021, 3:14 AM

It does the culling for you, yes

Sprites / tiles outside of the viewport will not be rendered. We weed them out in the pipline (geo shaders).

last moon Mar 12, 2021, 3:16 AM

im not actually sure if that simplifies anything but that's nice to know

normal silo Mar 12, 2021, 3:17 AM

#

It means that you just act like everything is drawn from your pov, but it's not so it's fast.

#

If you want a camera centered on the player, but not centered on them when they reach the edge of the map (the player just moves around in the view at that point), then you can just clip the camera position based on the map bounds and camera half size.

#

(The camera is always in bounds)

last moon Mar 12, 2021, 3:20 AM

yup

Review https://arcade.academy/examples/platform_tutorial/step_05.html?highlight=camera

potent ice Mar 12, 2021, 3:22 AM

#

There is an experimental camera in arcade.experimental.camera, but it doesn't have scroll limits added yet (on the list) : https://github.com/pythonarcade/arcade/blob/development/arcade/experimental/camera.py

#

I should probably try to get that working for 2.6 release

normal silo Mar 12, 2021, 3:24 AM

#

Can add some other things to the camera while at it, like smoothing where the camera drags behind (acceleration).

potent ice Mar 12, 2021, 3:24 AM

#

yup 🙂

normal silo Mar 12, 2021, 3:26 AM

#

Other interpolation things, like a current position and target position and it just moves to it smoothly (can also add for zoom and rotation, allows for some nice animations like starting out with a large view of a map and then zooming in to the player (cinematic)).

#

Black bars for cinematics would be convenient.

potent ice Mar 12, 2021, 3:28 AM

#

Already does black bars. Just need to make aspect_ratio settable. Not a bad idea

normal silo Mar 12, 2021, 3:29 AM

#

(But with interpolation too, black bars that very slowly come in are used a lot)

#

Interpolating all the things is a very easy way to make your game look way better.

potent ice Mar 12, 2021, 3:31 AM

#

Definitly

#

That's also fun to make. I'm normally deeper in the arcade library fixing other stuff. Got few horrible things to fix before the fun starts

#

Such as proper texture atlases and text rendering

normal silo Mar 12, 2021, 3:35 AM

#

Btw something you could add which many game libs don't is dev GUI stuff (via DearIMGUI), for making in-game tools / in-game editors.

Any IMGUI will do, but dearimgui will have a lot of work done for you if you are doing any c++ stuff.

Yea so do you plan on having any kind of in-game editor (since python has run-time reflection for all objects).

potent ice Mar 12, 2021, 3:40 AM

#

For arcade?

normal silo Mar 12, 2021, 3:41 AM

#

Yeah

#

Like select and edit object in-game, inspect state.

Not at this time. We would need more contributors to pull that off

normal silo Mar 12, 2021, 3:42 AM

idr does arcade have a game object / scene system?

potent ice Mar 12, 2021, 3:42 AM

#

Not really, no.

normal silo Mar 12, 2021, 3:43 AM

#

Ah, ok, such an in-game editor would make more sense with a unified game object system so you can view and poke at any object in the game.

#

Normally for something like this in c++ one needs to add a reflection system for game objects, but since it's python you get that for free and can even dynamically add properties.

potent ice Mar 12, 2021, 3:45 AM

#

Could work with a simple scene system and a way to poke around runtime at least

normal silo Mar 12, 2021, 3:48 AM

#

Usually this system is also combined with code hot-loading so one can edit code while running the game and push a gui button in game to reload all game object logic.

#

I think python has built in module reload

#

It can go something like this with the in-game gui: freeze game clock -> inspect object -> edit properties and/or game logic code -> reload

#

I rarely see this is hobby / smaller engines, but it's not too hard to add.

potent ice Mar 12, 2021, 3:50 AM

#

It could work as a separate project. arcade-editor or something

normal silo Mar 12, 2021, 3:51 AM

#

When in game it's even better as one can freeze and inspect when bugs happen (can also buffer last couple of frames for rewind).

Not sure one needs a full blown ECS, but that can work.

It's sort of different way of thinking than the typical OOP.

#

The inspector in-game is like running a debugger, but at a higher resolution / more specific to games.

#

And allows for fast iterations with reloading

potent ice Mar 12, 2021, 3:58 AM

If it's a debugger and a editor that doesn't save state I definitely see the usefulness

It's a constant, not a function

normal silo Mar 12, 2021, 4:01 AM

#

potent ice If it's a debugger and a editor that doesn't save state I definitely see the use...

Yeah, and it can even rewind a few frames back if you get a bug you can quickly hit pause and step back to see the state change. The buffering can be turned off when not needed to save memory, but many games already double buffer their state (and even more in the case of multiplayer).

#

oops caps

normal silo Mar 12, 2021, 4:02 AM

#

(being able to change the framerate / slow down helps too in that debugging case to catch it in time)

#

Making so that it saves state if you edit stuff is a whole other thing that can be done, but is not needed. It's mostly just to give insight in what is happening.

self.y_start: int = (self.pos.y - SCREEN_HEIGHT) // TILE_SIZE
self.y_stop: int = (self.pos.y + SCREEN_HEIGHT) // TILE_SIZE

I don't know what's happening but this is what I meant by my math being wacky
`x_start`/`y_start` shouldn't be negative + the stops are too low (I think it should be ~(6, 14, 5, 14) but I'm not 100% on that either)

actually no nvm the pos should be replaced with half the map size, but even then it's about 2 tiles too wide/tall

@ancient marsh what does it mean by manager

You also probably lacking general programming hints / ways programmers typically do things knowledge. For example: if you see an all capitalized variable name it's probably a constant and if there are several of them that belong to some group it's probably an enum.

If you read the pygame docs for keyboard input and scroll down you will see a bunch of constants for various keys (hinting that there is an enum, or just a loose collection of constants that act like an enum).

real solar how can i make my camera follow my player

This is quite hard to answer as it strongly depends on how does your game work. If you have something really simple, the just instead of moving your character move everything else. If your game gets complex, you should keep your own position of every object, and in some frame then render all objects that can be seen in that frame but positioned relatively to the player/camera position.

Class inheritance is like black magic but mmm it feels good to use this dark power ```py
class MenuArea(Rect, Group):
"""
An object that can be be used to group sprites together and position them
within a rectangle on the menu. The rectangle is initiated with a size
parameter, which should be a tuple containing width and height values.
"""
def init(self, size, *sprites):
Rect.init(self, 0, 0, *size)

Hey @real solar!

It looks like you tried to attach file type(s) that we do not allow (.ttf). We currently allow the following file types: .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .mov, .mp4, .mpg, .png, .mp3, .wav, .ogg, .webm, .webp, .flac, .m4a.

drowsy rampart Mar 14, 2021, 11:06 AM

vivid crag Mar 14, 2021, 11:06 AM

#

you can

real solar Mar 14, 2021, 11:06 AM

#

yea

#

just alter the FPS var

#

also

#

FPS=60 and clock= pygame.time.Clock() then clock.tick(FPS)

#

:c

#

nice score = kool

vivid crag Mar 14, 2021, 11:08 AM

#

yes

real solar Mar 14, 2021, 11:08 AM

#

now time to figure out while i break the fuck out of my code on how to move the camera

#

ah well get to that later

#

now

#

time to try something

#

is there a way to delete bob

#

like

#

bob.kill

vivid crag Mar 14, 2021, 11:09 AM

#

add some if statement

real solar Mar 14, 2021, 11:10 AM

#

i did

vivid crag Mar 14, 2021, 11:10 AM

#

above ur while: dead = False

real solar Mar 14, 2021, 11:10 AM

#

if health == 0:

vivid crag Mar 14, 2021, 11:10 AM

#

replace this: window.blit(bob, (x, y))

#

with this

#

if health != 0:
  window.blit(bob,(x,y))

#

that way, it only draws former-jesus when his health isnt 0

k i am here

#

@grand imp

grand imp Mar 14, 2021, 2:34 PM

#

ok

#

what i was trying to tell you over the noise in the other channel is that this is a lot more complicated a problem than you initially thought.
if you are trying to do an approach of just blindly intersecting arbitrarily shaped polygons that are rendered to tiles, that's partly the same as rendering polygons to a bitmap

#

and then doing a logical AND over two bitmaps

#

does that make sense?

chilly coral Mar 14, 2021, 2:36 PM

#

uhh

grand imp Mar 14, 2021, 2:36 PM

#

ok you used photoshop before ever?

#

or GIMP

chilly coral Mar 14, 2021, 2:36 PM

#

i use photoshop

grand imp Mar 14, 2021, 2:36 PM

#

lemme do a really quick easy diagram

#

so you have two layers with shapes in white, each set to 50% opacity, right? on a black background

#

partially overlap them

#

the area that is 100% white is the collision

#

i can draw that if you want

chilly coral Mar 14, 2021, 2:37 PM

#

hold on

grand imp Mar 14, 2021, 2:37 PM

#

but i think you can imagine it pretty easy

chilly coral Mar 14, 2021, 2:37 PM

#

opening photoshop

grand imp Mar 14, 2021, 2:39 PM

#

oh no

chilly coral Mar 14, 2021, 2:39 PM

#

ahh yes

grand imp Mar 14, 2021, 2:39 PM

#

ok im not on photoshop

#

it broke it

#

hold on

chilly coral Mar 14, 2021, 2:39 PM

#

?

grand imp Mar 14, 2021, 2:39 PM

#

@chilly coral the brighter area is the intersection

#

yeah

#

like that

chilly coral Mar 14, 2021, 2:39 PM

#

k

grand imp Mar 14, 2021, 2:40 PM

#

the problem is that when you're trying to let the user do arbitrary polygons, you have to decide how to draw the white area of each

#

does that make sense so far?

chilly coral Mar 14, 2021, 2:40 PM

#

yes

grand imp Mar 14, 2021, 2:40 PM

#

now, there are multiple approaches you can take to this
