@potent ice So I FINALLY have my code working with Python 3. I don't know why but the import system has changed and that really messed me up. I guess the Turtle module has changed as well......

#

anyway, I can start on working this problem now...

img = pygame.image.load("pic.png").convert_alpha()
rect = img.get_rect()
img_clean = img.copy()

# game loop
while True:

    rot += 10
    img = pygame.transform.rotate(img_clean, rot)
    rect = img.get_rect(center=rect.center)
    screen.blit(img, rect)
``` errmmmmm what's the point of blitting both the `img` and the `rect`?
quasi valley
#

the rect isnt something to be drawn, its the coordinates to draw it on

#

so the image's rect is where on screen it will be drawn, in this case

finite briar
#

so in rect = img.get_rect(center=rect.center) what's rect.center? i presume that's the coordinates of the rect

Hi I needed some help with my a function, its supposed to take in a tileset a map list and a surface, go through the map list and blit the correct tile in the correct coords:

unknown.png
#

The main.py compiles fine, but the tiles arent blited onto the surface

#

I think it has to do with the map list though

unknown.png
#

but when I take the function out and test it individually it works fine

#

Everything works fine so I think im missing a stupid mistake, am incredibly lost either way

finite briar
#

Rect_1 = rotated_surface.get_rect(center=500,500) I've looked around, but as far as i know this creates a rectangle for the surface at those coords? Does that move with the surface? I need to work on collision (Like when a bullet hits a sprite) and i dont know how to detect the collision or how to make the bullet dissapear, i guess I'd break the function from the while loop? Cant say I'm sure how I'd do that but i guess I'd put the whole loop inside of the function?

I’ve been taking a Coding Class this past year, and my final project is to make a Text-Based Adventure Game.

It’s so weird cuz like....I’m learning about the History of Gaming and Game Design? Like....I spend all my free time watching game reviews and playing them.

Never thought I’d learn about how β€œModern games such as Half-Life and Kingdom Hearts have rivaled movies in terms of graphics and details....”

Thanks! I'm required to make it a text-based choose-your-own adventure game. So far, i'm envisiong like a "Horror" game with a taxi driver that makes the player uncomfortable with their questioning. It'll have a couple endings and a secret, final ending. That's the plan anyways

3d games are not that good on python. I would recommend you to use unity with java or smthg. if you still want to do it I cant help you cause I dont know how 3d games work.

quiet salmon
#

so by 2d
do you mean games like mario

fervent horizon
#

yeah

quiet salmon
#

ohk

fervent horizon
#

or for example a board game

#

you can use pygame for that

quiet salmon
#

but are there any specefic coding like python for a 3d game
for eg c++

fervent horizon
#

I dont know

#

If there is its probably bad

quiet salmon
#

ok

# quiet salmon ok

you can make a 3d game with Pygame, but yeah Python wouldnt be nessicarily the best language to make a 3d game out of.

Colours
Similar to Guitar Hero. Red, yellow and green coloured dots will move across the screen (L to R) towards similarly coloured zones. You must tap the corresponding coloured button on your keyboard when the dots reach their matching coloured zone.

Letters
A 4-6 letter sequence will appear for roughly 5 seconds which you must memorise. After a short delay, you will be shown 4 sets of letters in each corner of the screen, and you must select the sequence of letters which match those that you memorised.

#

Numbers

Simple mental maths. Quickfire questions to test your multi-tasking. Addition, subtraction, division and multiplication.

Any tips on making this

so, i started to learn some pygame on youtube about a guy doing a fast flappy bird in pygame

how can i draw a new window to say something like "you lose" and close the game without needing to call the process manager

frank fieldBOT
#

Hey @hollow zephyr!

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

Feel free to ask in #community-meta if you think this is a mistake.

How do i get coordinates of the window sides

the game i'm making is a 2d platformer with the camera following the player

dawn quiver
scarlet cloud
#

i mean coordinates in relation to the player

#

because i wanna make an object disappear when it's no longer on screen

dawn quiver
#

There pygame might be a function for that (iirc) otherwise you could check if the object (e.g. player) are outside the bounds of the window coordinates

how would I do that

check if the object is outside

For a circle you just need to find the distance and know the radius

stray obsidian
#

i am writing kind of paint program with pygame .

#

but if i move the mouse to fast it draws with gaps

#

can someone help me fix this

proper peak
#

well, you can store the previous mouse position too, and draw a line between the positions.

ancient marsh
#

You might need to increase the speed of your clock as well?

stray obsidian
stray obsidian
shrewd copper
#

clock.tick(x)

stray obsidian
#

when i use clock it shows more gapsπŸ€”

ancient marsh
#

Afaik the clock sets your TPS, so a higher number should result in more updates.
Otherwise, the method suggested above is good too, although you might get less smooth lines as a result.

stray obsidian
#

so what should i set it to

ancient marsh
#

I think for my game I set the clock to 120 and made it independent from my FPS

normal silo
stray obsidian
ancient marsh
#

Yes, I'm aware. I assumed they were already using one but had it set to something like 60 or so

normal silo
#

Also pygame's clock tick is approximate, it will not get you a perfect constant ticking.

proper peak
#

The problem is, I feel like they wouldn't be able to get enough FPS to draw smoothly.

#

Just because pygame isn't very fast, and you can move your mouse quite fast indeed. Even if 120 FPS is possible, is that actually enough to not have gaps in a quick movement across the screen?

normal silo
#

The problem is often not the fps, but actually the input event rate, which is often lower than the max fps your cpu can do.

proper peak
#

ah, that's fair too, pygame's event loop is likely only so fast

stray obsidian
#

so can i do something

normal silo
#

But it's fast enough, but still, you want to add interpolation. Linear is the most simple but you can do better, since it's for drawing and should be worth the extra compute.

proper peak
stray obsidian
proper peak
#

well, have a variable storing the last mouse position, and look at it when you need to draw. To draw a "rounded line" (of circles), you can just draw many circles close to each other along the line, though perhaps pygame.draw has a better method for that

stray obsidian
#

aaaa ok

#

thanks

normal silo
#

You can draw a rotated rectangle between the points and then draw two circles at the ends.

@ashen flame what's with all the unnecessary parentheses and int() calls? But the problem is you have = True which is an assignment and not a comparison.

ashen flame
olive parcel
#

It obviously is, D_2 and new_num_two are already ints, why convert an int to an int

crisp junco
olive parcel
#

The + operator doesn't turn an int into something else

#

Only the division operator can do that.

faint berry
olive parcel
#

That is still invalid, it should be if two_num: or if two_num is True: or at the very least ==

#

And concatenating strings is not recommended, it is cleaner to use string formatting:

print(f"{num_1_2},{num_2_2},{new_num_two},{new_num_two_two}")

this is the image i would like to show

someone can help me pls?

yall know pygame?

true trail
faint berry
#

everything seems true

true trail
#

yes

#

but they disappear

#

idk how to let them up

faint berry
#

because you are cleaning surfaces

true trail
#

yeah i know but i don't know ho w to resolve

faint berry
#

if you want them to dont disappear try using sprite and groups with their own surfaces and check bullets whether in display size if not delete it's surface

#

or do without sprites and groups but like that

yeah i'm not very good with "sprite"

pine marlin
#

is it better practice to use image sprites or to have code to create the sprites

faint berry
#

when you create a bullet add his surface and positions a bullet list and read them in for statement check their size

#

or use your own class without sprite

#

I use sprite but I dont use groups

true trail
#

probably i should learn something more

faint berry
# 
class Bullet(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
    def __init__(self, surface, x, y, rot):
        pygame.sprite.Sprite.__init__()  # i dont remember whether it wants 'self' var, if gives error try adding self
        self.surface = surface
        self.position = pygame.math.Vector2((x, y))  # or just  x, y
    def update(self):
        # if position >= surface.get_size()
        # check position in here like that
true trail
#

omg

faint berry
#

and create this class and call update method in your game loop

true trail
#

that's too difficult for me

#

xD

#

i'm a beginner

faint berry
#

or modify this and keep list of bullets and create one main class

faint berry
true trail
#

nono

faint berry
#

if you can't create your own class you must learn python before.

#

It is essential for learning fundementals of python before staring game development πŸ‘

Is there simply just nothing that’ll be suffice?

craggy acorn
#

How could you do this with pygame? And also make it so you can choose multiple options

unknown.png
#

is there any documentation?

#

or tutorials

nova lance
#

I would say find the cursors position and do some maths to check if the cursor position is hovering over a certain β€œhit box” per say and then just change some colours

#

You would be able to select everything with that hit box positioned over it

#

I’m not sure how to word it better

craggy acorn
#

I understand what you mean but I was hoping that you could just do a blit command and just add options but sadly thats not a thing

It would make life a lot easier if it was

Hi, I've been wondering if you can edit tmx files with pytmx

#

For example, I want the player to be able to make and destroy blocks. I think that a way I could do that is to have pytmx edit the tmx file, but I'm not sure if that is possible.

shrewd copper
# blissful depot For example, I want the player to be able to make and destroy blocks. I think th...

You can do that. The way I would do it is
1: Use the objects tool in tiled map editor to place objects in the map that will end up being the blocks.
2: Load the map in using pytmx
3: Create your block class in pygame
4: Write some code to set each object you created in tiled map editor as an instance of your block class. Your code might look something like this

for object in tiledMap.tmxdata.objects:
  if object.name == 'block':
    block = Block(object.x, object.y)```
To have your player create blocks, just write a function for your player to be able to spawn an instance of your block class. And likewise, to destroy these blocks, write a function to either manually remove the blocks from the groups they're in, or use pygame's convenient function `sprite.kill()`

The main issue now is that I can't move the player whilst a pixel is falling because of the nature of the sleep() function. And async doesn't work with the text editor you need for this

whats a good library or framework for some fun game development with python? Would pygame be the best option?

Pygame for 2d games

Its relatively simple and fun

If you wanna do 3d maybe look at using ursina engine or maybe panda3d

hi guys

#

im using pygame with my graphical interface

i need to draw rectagnles over and over but im not clearing them, instead of i always screen.fill(background)

#

so after 2-3min of using my interface it starts lagging, how i clear old draws?

I think We can't remove surfaces just paint them and redraw all object onto it.

Hey guys - so I am using pygame for the first time and as an exercise I decided to make a chess game.

I created a subclass to pygame.sprite.Sprite named "ChessPiece". The Objects created from this class get put into a pygame.sprite.Group object

my problem is that when I iterate over that group the iterator gets assign the "Sprite" class which causes me to lose access to the methods of my "ChessPiece" class.
Is there a way to create a subclass from pygame.sprite.Group and change the type for the list (or whatever data structure that it uses) or to tell python that this is in fact not a "Sprite" but a "ChessPiece" or better yet is there a method in pygame.sprite.Group that I missed?

I searched for a while but came up empty - any help is greatly appreciated!

#

just fyi I did create a workaround by just creating a static method for it - pycharm does give a warning that it is expecting "ChessPiece" and not "Sprite" but it works.
However that solution is hella ugly xD

Is there a built-in way to get an intersecting Rect or Mask between two Mask objects,
something similar to Rect.clip(...), while taking transparency into account?

I did some research on Google and read some posts but couldn't find something useful :/
Attached an example image, white and grey representing actual filled pixels, blue and red being the rect of my sprite. I am trying to get the green area but keep getting the yellow one.

@proper peak
Hey, hope it's OK to ping you, sorry if it's not.
Yes, I tried it with overlap_mask, but that gives me the yellow area instead of the green one

In regards to python not being good for game dev, I partially agree. I am using Unity for some years now, and it's a great engine, if I'd want to make a serious game I'd always prefer it over anything with python, but in my current situation I just want to write a very small game that's supposed to run on a RaspberryPi and receiving its Input via Buttons, a GameEngine would be definitely overkill, and I also doubt that it's possible to access RaspberryPi GPIO Pins from inside Unity, so pygame is my way to go.
Correct me if necessary.

Also, I have no idea why/how python should be buggy, it's just a language like any other one. If you've made buggy experiences with python, it's probably because of your own code, not because python is buggy 🀨

ok...
so where should I include the keyboard inputs...

again should I move the sprites through its rect...

or just its x and y pos...

normal silo
#

A game loop is as follows: Get input (all events), Update game state (e.g. compute new ship position), and Render output (e.g. draw the ship). Thus you need to get the keys pressed in every iteration (get input phase).

normal silo
hard sky

so both are fine...

If it moves the ship, it's fine.

dawn quiver
#

i heard that they won't accept any boring projects

shrewd copper
#

The way I see it is if you've got what it takes to get whatever role you're applying for, then your portfolio will reflect that. Someone could make a really crappy project with Pygame and put it on their portfolio. A company probably won't care for it. Put someone else may make an outstanding project with Pygame, and the same company might love it and hire them. Pygame has the potential to allow you to make portfolio worthy content, but just because you use pygame doesn't mean it will be portfolio worthy or not

what's an 'advanced' game in pygame

shrewd copper
#

To answer that question, let's look at what I would consider a basic game of a particular genre, Mario. The first 3 Mario Bros. games for the NES were pretty basic platformers. The games had a default player state where you could deal damage by jumping on certain enemies, and there were few physical differences between walking and running that changed the way you would play the game. Other than that, there were a few different forms you could take that would change these properties ever-so-slightly. I think that Mario is a good example of a 'basic' game you could make in pygame. Now, what makes a platformer in pygame 'advanced' is pretty open-ended IMO, but in comparison to a Mario Bros game or clone, there's a myriad of properties you could give the player and the world to make it infinitely more advanced. A list of inherent properties of the player could consist of health points, damage and defensive stats, different forms or states that affect all of your stats, external objects that affect your stats I.E a weapon that gives you more physical damage, as well as can block a specified amount of damage, ETC... With this in mind, I might make a game that I consider advanced, yet someone who plays it might think it's basic and easy. If you want an example of what I would consider an advanced game made with pygame, then Drawn Down Abyss would be a great example https://store.steampowered.com/app/1146560/Drawn_Down_Abyss/. On the surface, it's a platformer, yet it combines the inherit and spatial properties of the player with a deck of cards!

TLDR; An advanced game is pretty subjective, but most games that are more advanced and/or in-depth than a lot of the popular retro games could easily fit that description, as well as be made in Pygame.

Make sure it's pygame.QUIT and not pygame.quite Aside from that, a circular import means that you're inheriting values from one module/.py file more than once in a sequential order. Make sure that each time you import a module, that no other modules use values such as variables and functions from previously imported modules. This creates a loop, which, although isn't technically logically impossible, is redundant and extremely inefficient.

Hello ! I'm currently making a little environment where you can drive a car in a custom made map from a file.

#

I'm loading the map from a text file filled with 0 or 1s.

#

for now I'm only drawing a black square for each wall

#

but how Can in detect collision with my car object ?

#

I stored all the position and size of all the little wall squares in a list, inside of a "Map" object

#

And the car has a rectangle hitbox, but it may be tilted so I'm not sure about how to do the collisions

#

I think checking the collision with every square on the map will not be efficient

#

(I'm using pygame btw)

#

how Can I handle the collisions ? I don't need to know where it hit, just know if the car hits any black square

I won't bother making the stats persistent

#

So per session is fine

#

Might be neat to put scrolling functionality into that report so the entire hand could be reviewed, not just the last...frame I'll call it

#

I mean, I could just leave the entire report up there but it'd get long at times and interfere with the board or run off the bottom of the screen during the CPU's deal (when the report is placed in the empty space at the bottom of the screen instead of the top)

in pygame, is it bad practice for a sprite to kill() itself during its update function?

If it's age is more than its lifespan, why not?

Drawing the cards just became a lot easier, just blit the image instead of drawing all those primitives

#

Of cours, the image in a rect offset by card value times card_width on the x and card suit times card_height on the y

#

Because the cards are all one sheet, 4 rows of 13 columns

Hello. I will make this simple and concise. I need help. I don't need someone to do all the work for me, I just need help.

Help with what? It's a game very important to me. Something I have been making for 4 years. Imagine an old school MUD, something like dungeons and dragons, and the GUI is made with tkinter. It's a text adventure but with some added features making it a little more complex than making simple story branch choices.

I have reached a plateau of my skill level and despite attempts to self teach, I am struggling to make any more progress. I was self taught at the age of 27. I had just gotten my GED and turned my life around and picked up programming as a hobby. It has taken me a long time to reach a skill level that many I think achieve so easily.

Anyway, that's not important. I can communicate my challenges to you, and I am hoping I can find someone that can help me achieve my dream game.

If that sounds cringey or cheesy, oh well, it's true. I have been working on this game for 4 years and it's really important to me to finish it so I can play it and share it with people.

Please DM me if you are serious about getting involved. Thanks. By the way, I can't pay you. However I can assure you fun, accomplishment, and hey you never know when something small can become something greater than you first thought.

Hi
I can not import pygame after downloading it in my windows
I did pip install pygame in command promt
And it also shows there is pygame library in my windows

#

Well guys this last week I asked myself maybe a stupid question, is that why it is impossible to do Pygame projects for a website? I have been researching a lot on the subject and i see that i am not the first person who had the same idea, i also see that there are some projects that are trying to achieve it but they were all abandoned. I know it's very hard to render pygame project on websites because it works with SDL.

Why im talking about this subject? Because i wanna make a project that solve this problem. I have a simple idea to fix the render problem of pygame in website and it is to adapt it so that instead of using SDL it uses HTML5 Canvas to render it, maybe this option won't work like Vanilla Pygame but is a solution that the comunity can do.

#

I also did an real test of my idea if someone it's interested i could show it here

normal silo
earnest canyon
#

On the other hand I would like to try even if it can end badly, you know, just for fun. Although I think your idea of making a new engine from scratch is more tempting.

mint zenith
#

The bigger problem is that Python is not designed to run in a browser

#

There's brython, which transpiles Python to JS, but I believe that works only cause they provide equivalent web APIs in Python so it knows what to transpile them to.

earnest canyon
#

But

#

The problem with this is the lag.

#

If your server is very slow, you know? Players will have a lot of lag 🧐 mmm...

mint zenith
#

Yeah I considered that. It may be acceptable for certain kinds of games.

#

Never mind, I misunderstood.

#

I was thinking of something else

#

Yeah that could work but then it's not really comparable to using pygame

earnest canyon
#

Yeah

#

Your right

#

The other way that i see from other users is try to use webassembly. Personaly i never use this technology so idk how it can help on this

finite briar
#

Can somebody tell me why that isnt working? I'm trying to get it to move with the keys and I've gotten it to work before with roughly the same code i just dont remember what I'm doing wrong... Nothing is happening when i press any keys but it is blitting to the screen ;-;

normal silo
#

(Remember computers are fast)

# 
A. Lines 1 to 7.
B. Lines 8 to 22.
C. Lines 23 to 29.
finite briar
#

C probably, but it goes through the loop at 60 times a second and checks if that key is pressed and then moves it based on if the key is pressed, and i held down the key and nothing happened :<

#

It should have detected that the key was pressed but it didnt???

finite briar
normal silo
#

C is correct. In that section of code, is there any code that changes the ship's position?

finite briar
#

Yes

normal silo
#

Which line number(s)?

finite briar
#

15, 17, 19, and 21

normal silo
#

Are those line numbers in section C? (23-29)

finite briar
#

Uh no?

normal silo
#

Correct, so is there any code in section C that changes the ship's position?

finite briar
#

But even if i put them in the while loop nothing changes

normal silo
#

Try changing the ship's position in section C. Something like Ship_x += 10.

finite briar
#

I did, the same thing happens

#

Oh

#

Oh wait one min i misunderstood

#

It was instantly at the top...?

normal silo
#

It moved off the screen quickly?

finite briar
#

No it didnt move off the screen, it hit the top and didnt move

normal silo
#

try += 1

finite briar
#

Oh thats why

#

Whoopsie

#

i typed =+ 1

#

well now it moves

normal silo
#

ok, so why do you need to put the position change code in section C to see movement?

finite briar
#

Because it needs to check it every single loop

#

er

#

run the code really

#

but now the key detection is in the loop and its still not doing anything ;-;

normal silo
#

don't worry about input yet

#

one thing at a time

finite briar
#

its like its either not detecting the keys (which is confusing because there is no syntax error)

#

uhhh okay

normal silo
#

So animation gives the illusion of motion by taking an image, showing it, moving it, and showing it again repeatedly very quickly (your brain thinks it's moving).

finite briar
#

right

normal silo
#

This is what the loop in section C does for you. You blit the Ship image (show it on screen), move the ship, and repeat, quickly.

#

So if you want something to "move" you need to do it in this main animation loop.

#

Now moving on to input.

#

There are two ways to get input. The first is to setup a "callback" or "hook" or "listener" which waits for a certain input to happen and when it does it triggers some code. The second is "polling" which is periodically getting the current state of some device (this is done repeatedly). Pygame gives you the latter via get_pressed().

#

So you need to constantly get the current keyboard state in the main loop in section C as well (the current up-to-date keyboard state).

#

key = pygame.key.get_pressed() will result in the current keyboard state being stored in the variable key.

#

Now that you have the most up to date keyboard state in the main loop. You can check and see if certain keys are being pressed and if they are, move the ship.

#

As for the pygame clock and getting 60 FPS. Without the clock the main loop in section C will run as fast as the computer can run it (much more than 60 FPS). This is bad because you want the animation to run at 60 FPS, and without that timing the speed of the animation will also depend on which computer it's running on since different computers will run the loop faster or slower (also when your computer lags due to other programs running on it).

#

To solve this problem, pygame provides the clock tick method which will stall any loop it's in so that the loop runs at about 60 FPS (it's not exact, but close enough).

#

Thus Clock.tick(60) should also be in section C to make the main loop run at 60 FPS.

# 
import pygame
from Colors import *

pygame.init()

screenh = 500
screenw = 500
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((screenh, screenw))

Clock = pygame.time.Clock()

Bullet = pygame.image.load("C:\\Users\Felix Laptop\Downloads\Roughbullet.png")
Ship = pygame.image.load("C:\\Users\Felix Laptop\Downloads\Ship.png")

Ship_x = 250
Ship_y = 250

A = True
while A:
    Clock.tick(60) # Stall this loop so it's run at 60 FPS.

    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            pygame.quit()

    key = pygame.key.get_pressed() # Get the current keyboard state.

    # Maybe move the ship depending on the keys pressed.
    if key[pygame.K_LEFT]:
        Ship_x += 5
    if key[pygame.K_RIGHT]:
        Ship_x -= 5
    if key[pygame.K_UP]:
        Ship_y -= 5
    if key[pygame.K_DOWN]:
        Ship_y += 5

    # Do the drawing.
    screen.fill(purple)
    screen.blit(Ship, (Ship_x, Ship_y))
    pygame.display.update()
#

@finite briar I hope this answers all questions you might have.

finite briar
#

You can make the clock tick run without it being in the loop just fine, from my experience anyways. although yeah, i know the code its just i wrote it a different way from the original and my IDE updated and ruled out my way of doing it

IDE are just text editors combined with other stuff (all in one).

#

Which makes them complicated and not suitable for beginners.

#

(Also senior programmers tend to ditch IDEs later on anyhow)

#

CMD is window's terminal/console it's a program that let's you interact with windows without a GUI.

#

And in CMD you can tell windows to run certain programs in the same way you would when you click on an executable (but in text, not by clicking on a GUI icon).

#

So in CMD you tell windows to run python and also tell it which file to run python on.

#

something like python my_python_file.py

#

out of the shadows Pardon me for interrupting but out of curiosity, why wouldn't we use an IDE with built in syntax checking, autocompletion and directory structure trees (to name a few benefits)?

normal silo
broken estuary
#

Hmm, fair enough

#

I probably don't give notepad++ enough credit

normal silo
#

Notepad++ is just a starting point, though I know some people stick with it forever.

#

And for small fast edits of random files it's perfect.

broken estuary
#

I mean.. I'm using PyCharm and notepad++ concurrently, but have used notepad++ exclusively in the past- especially on slower systems where a full IDE bogs the system down way too much

normal silo
#

As some people like to put it, linux is the IDE (you can hack emacs or vim to be just as feature-full as visual studio).

broken estuary
#

Hmm, that's very true

normal silo
#

Or just use a window manager like openbox and just run all the programs separately that do all the things.

#

It will look and feel like an IDE then.

broken estuary
#

Anyway, sorry to hijack lemon_sweat just had a moment of curiosity

#

Hmm, yeah, that works as well

normal silo
#

Starting with an IDE can be too many things all at once. If you start though with just some text editor, you can always add more later (one step at a time so you understand it all, also its your setup how you prefer then).

#

Eventually you can pick up any editor / IDE and be fine (though many people stick with their setup forever, like using emacs forever).

finite briar
#

Well, I'm not too worried about the overcomplication. I dont use most of the functions and it looks good and I'm getting used to it.
