im not entirely sure why i should use sublime and not just python
in Geany you write a code and if you press f5 the code pops up and runs in your system console
this guy is the best at pygame
dawn quiver
im not entirely sure why i should use sublime and not just python
you are using python
in sublime
yes yes but
just that
its nicer
okay one second
lets say i type PH = 100
how do i tranfere that into my python project
lol
are you trolling?
this is how a text editor looks
wait
mine doesnt look liek that
this is how what ex suggested looks
dawn quiver
mine doesnt look liek that
yeah im using a different theme
but you can change your theme
how
your looks much more better
yeah
because
ive been using it for a while

i mean, that i have some sort of container / surface one set of sprites are painted on, and another one for a differnet set of sprites. where i can paint these surfaces onto the window. where the sprite positions are relative to the surface and not the window.
basicly similar to surfaces of pygame
frozen knoll
The camera is supposed to be able to that, so you can draw a GUI without having to 'scoll' it along with the rest of the playing field. I haven't used it myself yet.
The 'defender' example showed how to do a mini-map where you drew to a completely different surface. That part is changing for 2.6. If you hop on the Arcade server einarf might be able to help you with one or the other.
wicked lintel
what is the easiest way to draw a sprite list with an offset of the sprites position?
blissful cape
hey guys is there anyone who could help me with moving objects
frozen knoll
You can do this with from arcade.experimental.camera import Camera2D
Create two cameras:
self.camera1 = Camera2D(
viewport=(0, 0, self.width, self.height),
projection=(0, self.width, 0, self.height),
)
self.camera2 = Camera2D(
viewport=(0, 0, self.width, self.height),
projection=(0, self.width, 0, self.height),
)
Set one camera to be the offset:
self.camera1.scroll = (50, 50)
Then use both cameras:
self.camera1.scroll = (50, 50)
self.camera1.use()
arcade.draw_line(0, 200, SCREEN_WIDTH, 200, arcade.color.RED, 2)
self.camera2.use()
self.camera2.scroll = (0, 0)
arcade.draw_line(0, 200, SCREEN_WIDTH, 200, arcade.color.BLACK, 2)
You might need to use the dev branch for this, I can't remember.

you don't have your if statement indented inside your other one
as in, there's no content inside the if event.keyaym == 'Up': if statement
do you know how to use indentation in python?
as in, where things are supposed to be indented?
west egret
ok. So if you want any code to be inside anything else (for example, code being inside an if statement, or code being inside a function), then it needs to be indented. Being indented means that it has a tab before it. So, of the four if statements below your function, only the first one is actually inside it because it's the only one that's indented.

how do i empty out / clear an arcade sprite list?
preferable being O(1) and not O(n) (which would be poping everything manually)
frozen knoll
Just create a new one? That would be the most efficient.
wicked lintel
i have to pass the list into other objects and if i create a new one the passed objects don't get updated
also i have the following code:
the default value of hitbox_color is arcade.csscolor.RED but i change it to arcade.csscolor.GREEN somewhere else.
so now the hitboxcolor (and output) say (0, 128, 0) but the hitbox is still drawn in red for some reason. does anyone have an idea why?

so self.objects_by_name (im assuming it's a dict?) doesn't have a key named player
meaning you're not storing anything called 'player' in your tmx data

what does your tmx file look like?

Tiled then ?

Nevermind, I only got a map that I made on Tiled on .tmx file

Np thanks u so much to try to help me uwu
dawn quiver
In Tiled ? or in Pycharm
last moon
in your script
wait actually sorry no I got confused lol
object types in tiled
and try using "Player" instead of "player" in your script
dawn quiver
What are set as Object is in .tmx so in Tiled
It only change the Key Error at ; Key Error "Player"
last moon
ah dang ok
last moon
ohh ok so get_object_by_name is for getting an object from your tmx, im not really sure how Tiled handles them but basically it's a collection of tiles put together that you can give properties and that sort of stuff
actually lol maybe not sorry
dawn quiver
Well that's what I learn to
last moon
I was thinking maybe it's a property of your map but idk if that's right
dawn quiver
The map come well and I can even zoom on it, I finish the lines for introducing the player, but not the place to spawn him and place it on him
last moon
@dawn quiver if you go to objects, it looks like a point is stored as a object inherited by another object, try getting the first object (with get_object_by_name) and then getting player (with the same method)

I'll look to add the O(1) clearing of sprites to the next version of Arcade. I opened an issue to track:
There isn't anything built into arcade to support raster-based fonts if that's what you're looking for.
Text support will change from 2.5.7 to 2.6, as Arcade will use Pyglet to render text, rather than Pillow.

Try Arcade if you are looking for something with a newer API.
@wicked lintel Each sprite has a reference to what list it belongs to. That needs to be cleared. There is a sprite atlas that holds images of each sprite in the list, and some buffer data sent to the GPU. A bit of research is needed.

hitboxes and collisions are far more advanced

pre implemented a* algorithm (never used it tho, just found it while looking though the docs)

@wicked lintel Arcade 'caches' the hitbox when you draw it. It can batch-draw it again later really fast this way. It isn't expecting the color or line thickness to change.
If you set my_sprite._hit_box_shape = None it should clear the cache.

Arcade seems to use PIL for rendering text and for some reason PIL does not seem to have word wrapping, so the best option is to add line breaks to the text manually.

Squiggle is correct. Although in Arcade 2.6 (current dev branch) Arcade uses Pyglet for text rendering and will support text wrapping.

Well, I think someone can chime in with an easier way, but here's what I do:
Have a directory for your projects: cd my_projects
git clone https://github.com/pythonarcade/arcade.git
git clone https://github.com/pyglet/pyglet.git
cd name_of_my_project
pip install -e ..\pyglet
pip install -e ..\arcade
Then I can always go into the pyglet or arcade directory and do a git pull to get the latest.
flat aurora
You can pip install directly from the git repo with pip install https://github.com/pythonarcade/arcade/tarball/development as well
That will install the development branch at whatever commit it's currently at
This has the advantage of giving you a specific point in time, but obviously you'll have to re-run this to update it if there are changes you want to get, Paul's method is more flexible and that's what most of us do while developing against Arcade's dev branch but installing straight from GitHub is a bit simpler
You should be able to use that installation method for any project that's on github and setup to install via setuptools

Thanks~ But why hack, i dont hack 😦
i just want to contribute yk 
Anyways, so how about this, when someone wants to move the horse, ill add a green tile where they can move it
and it will get placed there
shall i add that?
analog barn
hack as in work xD Impressive, I have always wondered how to do collision like that. Are you just checking for rectangle collision? An yeah that would be awesome to add, I want to eventually show possible moves.
dawn quiver
Ok ill add that then
dawn quiver

Yes rectangle collision
As for the gravity thats pretty simple as well, however this could probably be optomized
anyways ill get working on this in a few hours
im in middle of school rn
sinful lodge
That's the easy part done...
hard part is the logic
wait is the logic part hard
movement logic
dawn quiver
Not that hard but still yeah
whats going to be even harder is the attack logic
When you want to kill a piece
Its okie, me and Rabeljah will manage
last moon
movement logic gets super complicated unless you ignore discovered checks + let the player make whatever move they want
id suggest looking at implementations, altho in all honestly python probably isn't the language to do it
what I had done was having the pieces as objects + the board as a dict
and then computing intersections with .get
but it was slow to begin with and I had no way of telling if the player was in checkmate or if there was a draw
that's where it gets super complicated and if you have a bad implementation (like I did), the amount of recursion you need isn't fesable
https://www.chessprogramming.org/Bitboard_Board-Definition this how modern chess games store the game state (im 80% sure pychess uses it but I can't understand their code)
not to say you couldn't store the ULL in a list, but you have to manually do the insertion + unions + intersections + etc
the logic becomes a bit less intuitive too even if you completely understand the game logic (abstraction from the bit boards for piece moves/calc helps a bit but not a lot)
also chessprogramming.org has pretty much everything you need in terms of figuring out how to do it
last moon
the basic premise of it tho is to store all your piece types (king, queen, etc) as well as all white/black pieces in separate bit arrays:
kings: ULL // unsigned long long -> uint64_t
queens: ULL
...
white: ULL
black: ULL
// then when you need to get a certain set of pieces
white_kings = kings & white
white_pieces = (white & kings) | (white & queens) | ...

dawn quiver
I have a screen that is 800, 600
how can i calculate the player position? like ...
player_img = pygame.image.load('path')
player_pos = player_img.get_rect()
not this what i want, i wanna the (x,y) how it's been calculated on the screen
dawn quiver
Thats the x,y.
dawn quiver
not this what i want, i wanna the (x,y) how it's been calculated on the screen
Ok, so basically
you blit an image on the screen
then you move the images position
so like this
player_img = pygame.image.load('path')
x = 0
y = 0
while run:
x += -1
screen.blit(player_img, (x, y))
You see what i mean?
flint yew
Not this, my explanation is weak, I will use a translator
We have the player standing in the middle of a screen whose measurements are (800, 600)
For example, I want the player to press D, but I don't know how to estimate his new coordinates

So I made an unexpectedly satisfying game of minesweeper in the terminal, with just ascii range 128 and dynamic escape sequences for color;
there is a pointer, wasd to move, space to select, tab to flag or unflag, the pointer skips squares that are already selected, etc.
The problem is my wasd algorithm with qezx for diagonal movement, while it tries to guess where the player wants to go, it is a bit bug prone and due to the last part of above description some squares might be hard to access, especially later on in the game when an unselected square might not align with any other selectable square.
Being able to select a selected square means I'll have to add some tedious escape sequencing and lambdas, and check for selectibility, and overall is not much improvement.
What are your thoughts on a wasd protocol.
And while I'm at it, should I use backspace key to select the smiley face?
Okay I just saw a x += -1 so I'm just gonna go back to hiding in #esoteric-python

Any thoughts on making multi player poker? I was thinking either using a REST api where users can pull their hands from, post their bets etc. Alternatively, the ones I am more likely to go for is something like an SNS topic there it’s all event driven. Users/server post to the topic and both handle it in an event driven manner. Everything encrypted with private/public keys so that one user cannot see another users hands etc.

Like in big games like bf1, GTA V and others???
not really, no
for FPS games you really need every scrap of performance you can get, which pretty much means only C++. (There's other compiled languages like C and Rust, but C is more of a pain to write in for basically no gain, and Rust is a relatively new language so there's less libraries for it).
It's possible to have an engine written in C++ and scripted by a slower language like C# - that's the approach of game engines like Unity. I don't think I've heard of Python being used in that way for AAA games, though it's certainly possible to do (don't know about Unity, but Godot (unofficially) supports Python).

what do you need?
you can slow the ball by setting the fps
i'm not an expert i'm learning pygame too but sure i'll try to help
i don't know anything about turtle
i think it is easier to make to pong with pygame
in pygame you can use clock.tick(fps) in your main loop
and set the fps whatever you want

is it possible to make 2 things happen at once? For example, a stream of numbers is running, increasing by one each time and you click a button which makes a noise. This would cause the numbers to stop increasing by 1 until the noise ends. Is there a way to keep the stream running while the sound is being played?

I'm working on path finding for a bot. Heading(facing which direction) is a float that starts at 0 facing north, then increases when turning left all the way up to 512 then resetting right back at 0.
How can I represent this as degree? Or even cardinal directions?
last moon
how are you getting 512 and by "increases when turning left all the way up to 512", are you talking about the rotation metric you're using?
if so rotation / 512 * 360 should give you degrees (normalization to [0, 1] then * 360 to get degrees ?)
as for cardinal directions you'd just need to define ranges/limits for every step ie: -64 -> 64 is north, 64 -> 192 is west, etc
the specificity of your step depends on how much directional control you need
rare ferry
with ursina you just do

discord struggles to parse the colouring of these format strings
it comes with classic mode, shown above, or sweep mode, which does this:
EDIT: you might notice it didn't finish clearing the safe squares. The moment it detects the game is won it ends right there
it also comes with every classic windows minesweeper feature i can think of, just with keyboard buttons
backspace selects the smiley face, resetting the board, including the timer
the smiley face updates on click, :) for safe, :O while pressing and X( when dead
number on the left counts down when you flag a spot, flags are counted with ```py
flags = sum([self[a]==2 for a in self])
use the h key if you get stuck, or r to pick a random spot

So if u think abt it like minecraft, pressing g changes the block that is placed when left click is clicked
rare ferry
oh, so you want to change block type?
Function of left click: place NewBox, Function of left click after g is pressed: place ramybox
That's how i want it
Hello?
Or is that impossible?
tranquil girder
you can store the block type in a variable
rare ferry
Hmmm... Ok
tranquil girder
something like self.current_block = 'brick'
and then set it to self.current_block = 'grass' when you press 'g'
as an example
rare ferry
something like self.current_block = 'brick'
and then set it to self.current_bloc...
Oh ok thank you so much for the help
tranquil girder
on on left click you place self.current_block
you can maybe try duplicate(entity) for this, since you could do
if key == 'left mouse down':
block = duplicate(self.current_block, position=(xyz))
but current_block should be entities
not strings like in my example
but focus on one thing at a time

What would you like to know?
lunar venture
How does it differ from normal drawing?
frozen knoll
'Normal' drawing, if you have 100 sprites, you have a loop that draws those 100 sprites.
If your game runs at 60 fps, then you draw 6,000 sprites per second.
With 'batch' drawing, you load those sprites onto the graphics card to begin with.
Then you tell the graphics card to draw all the sprites in one call. The GPU takes the heavy-lifting.
So you end up with 60 drawing calls per second instead of 6,000.
If you want to move a sprite, you just send the new sprite coordinates to the graphics card. Not all the image data again.

GPU.. more like.. Great CPU.
frozen knoll
Your graphics processor (GPU) has a lot of horsepower for running calculations. If you can write in a manner that has the CPU doing less, and you offload that stuff to the GPU, you get faster graphics.

Hi people. This is Jaume, a 20-year-old boy with Asperger and a freak of computing. I'm from Spain, and i'm working in a BRSAR editor that can edits all versions, even the old ones. BRSAR is a property file of Nintendo Wii which includes samples, sequences, sound effects... There's an editor for that file called BrawlCrate, but it doesn't support old BRSAR files because is a pretty hard file and I've made a long research for the file and it will help a lot for Wii modding. If someone will be willing for collaborate with me, please DM me. Thank you for your patience 🙂

is 0.000149 seconds to generate possible moves for one color on the board fast enough for a minimax chess algorithm? Getting the available moves 10,000 times takes 1.47 seconds. How many times will I need to generate moves in a normal minimax tree to choose a move with say.. depth 4?

I'm really enjoying messing around with shaders.
proper peak
is `0.000149` seconds to generate possible moves for one color on the board fast...
0.1 millisecond to consider one state does sound pretty high. For contrast, Stockfish (the current best non-ML chess engine) analyses ~5 million positions per second on a modern computer with 4 cores (source:https://chessify.me/blog/nps-vs-time-to-depth-what-you-should-look-at-when-analyzing-with-stockfish/), whereas you get 6800 nodes per second (on one core) (though a branching factor of 10 is significantly lower than one usually gets in chess - google tells me 35).
For unpruned minimax, one needs to analyze all the possible actions of both players for one ply. If there's 10 possible moves per position (on average), one ply would be analyzing, for each of the 10 possible moves by the AI, all 10 of the possible moves by the enemy, for a total of 1 + 10 + 100=111 positions considered (let's round that down to 10^2). For two ply, this number rises to 11111 (~10^4), which you can calculate in around 1.5 seconds, so you're currently looking at about depth-two prediction, and depth-4 will take analysing around 10^8 positions.
Alpha-beta pruning should improve that a lot, but if you could speed up the analysis of each node, that'd be a good idea.

def update():
label.text = str(some_var)
time.sleep() suspends your whole program including your game loop, if you need a timer, you can use asyncio.sleep() to create a timer on a 'separate' thread (or use multithreading) or use the time delta you get with your update method ie:
class Game:
TEXT_ON_SCREEN_CONSTANT: float = 5
text_on_screen_length: float = TEXT_ON_SCREEN_CONSTANT
def update(self, dt):
self.text_on_screen_length -= dt
if self.text_on_screen_length <= 0:
# update text
self.text_on_screen_length = TEXT_ON_SCREEN_CONSTANT

hello, and a pygame question!
I am curious about pygame.time.clock.tick().
When I put that in print(), it prints a real number
and I want to know why, and what that real number means
potent ice
@torpid bloom It's how you control framerate in pygame. You can read more about it in the official documentation : https://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/time.html
For example ```py
while True:
# Make sure game doesn't run at more than 30 frames per second
time_delta = clock.tick(30)
# Handle events
# Draw stuff
It's also used to give you the time delta since the last time you called it
It will only wait if you pass in the framerate argument (like stated in the docs)
Probably more flexible to not pass in a framerate and instead move things based on time delta
torpid bloom
It's also used to give you the time delta since the last time you called it
Oh, it does. I set FPS to 60 and it printed 16 or 17, and it meant milliseconds.
1000 / 60 = 16.67
Thanks!
potent ice
I do think it's more common to not limit framerate at least in development and move things based on the reported delta time so you can measure performance better
Also, you can usually find the answers in the official docs/tutorials 🙂

I can see that you're calling display.set_mode() many times but you need to do that only once as you need a single screen.

There is a function called pg.display.toggle_fullscreen() which can be used to switch between fullscreen and windowed mode so you don't need a full screen variable now.
Try modifying your code as shown below :
import pygame as pg
screen = pg.display.set_mode((w, h), flags=pygame.SCALED | pygame. RESIZABLE)
# In main function under event loop in keydown events
if event.key == pg.K_f:
pg.display.toggle_fullscreen()
The above code will do the work.

understanding/properly managing the game loop and entities are pretty essential, after that the logic is more dependent on what sort of genre the game is (ie: for a platformer you need basic movement, boundaries, enemies, combat, a win/lose condition, score/ui elements, etc)
