Hey!!

Question, I'm having some issues with pygame

I wish to create a dialgoue type box, but it won't blit the way I want

def load_dialogue(self, pygame, screen, eh):
        pygame.display.flip()
        if self.dialogue:
            surface = Surface((int(SCREEN_WIDTH * 0.8), int(SCREEN_HEIGHT * 0.3)))
            for item in self.dialogue:
                eh.check_for_events()
                # screen.blit(item[0], item[1])
                pygame.display.update(screen.blit(surface, surface.get_rect(center= (
                    int(SCREEN_WIDTH * 0.5),
                    int(SCREEN_HEIGHT * 0.8)
                ))))
                pygame.display.update(surface.blit(item[0], item[1]))
                pygame.time.delay(4000)

        self.dialogue.clear()```
All I get is a black box (Surface) on the screen, but the text doesn't go on it for some reason

I tried flipping around the order of the updates, I tried calling both flip and update with and without args

I don't know anymore

[prisma badger]

i copied your code to find the problem on my editor and fix it but i got the same block surface or whatever problem there imma ty some other stuff if the proble wasnt solved already

surface is not defined

[cunning shadow]

Surface is defined on line 3

I imported it asfrom pygame.surface import Surface

[prisma badger]

so you solved it already ?

[cunning shadow]

Nope...

Lemme show

[prisma badger]

okay

[cunning shadow]

This is what it looks like if I just blit the Font Surface to the screen

[prisma badger]

i fixed some problems with the screen width and length that apeared on my ide

[cunning shadow]

But I didn't know how I would overwrite it, so I thought I could just put it on another surface

But when I try to put it on the other surface

[prisma badger]

hmm

[cunning shadow]

                screen.blit(item[0], item[1])

[prisma badger]

okay you tried overflow ?

no i meant stackflow

or what was it called again

[cunning shadow]

I can't send the ss for some reason

Yea, I searched all around on stack overflow, but wasn't seeing this

[prisma badger]

oh hmm

[prisma badger]

it told me i might have missed a comma

[cunning shadow]

Right, when I try to blit the Font to the surface I create

    def load_dialogue(self, pygame, screen, eh):
        if self.dialogue:
            pygame.display.flip()
            surface = Surface((int(SCREEN_WIDTH * 0.8), int(SCREEN_HEIGHT * 0.3)))
            for item in self.dialogue:
                eh.check_for_events()
                surface.blit(item[0], item[1])
                screen.blit(surface, surface.get_rect(center= (
                    int(SCREEN_WIDTH * 0.5),
                    int(SCREEN_HEIGHT * 0.8)
                )))
                pygame.display.flip()
                delay(4000)

def write_dialogue(self, text):
        text = self.set_render_text(text, 30, 0.5, 0.8, (200, 200, 200))
        self.dialogue.append(text)
        return text

    def set_render_text(self, text, font_size=31, width_percent_offset=0.5, height_percent_offset=0.5, colors=(150, 150, 150), background=None):
        font = Font("freesansbold.ttf", font_size)
        words = font.render(text, True, colors, background)
        word_rect = words.get_rect(center= (
            int(SCREEN_WIDTH * width_percent_offset),
            int(SCREEN_HEIGHT * height_percent_offset)
        ))

        return (words, word_rect)

This is for getting the Font obj text ig

[prisma badger]

perhaps you could search for the indian guy on youtube

[cunning shadow]

XD

Fair

[prisma badger]

lol

he actually taught me the basics of code lol

i watched his free course

[cunning shadow]

Well... I just fixed one issue 😅

[prisma badger]

have you debugged the code ?

[cunning shadow]

I don't need the surface anymore, I just realized why it was overlapping

[prisma badger]

ohh

lemme try removing it too

[cunning shadow]

So surface no longer needed

thanks for talking it over with me

[prisma badger]

no problem i guess problem solved imma go delte my code tab

delete* sorry im always on rush writing stuff

[cunning shadow]

🙏

[prisma badger]

lol

what s the title of your game your developing

contact me if you want a game tester once the beta is done 😉

[cunning shadow]

Thank you 🙇‍♂️

[cunning shadow]

Your Journey

[prisma badger]

why so much thanking are you trying the japan style of thanking ?

ohh cool

i actually started my own business

for app developing

[cunning shadow]

I made this harder than it needed to be... I could have just made a sprite... and I should have been fine

[prisma badger]

not advertising though

[cunning shadow]

neat

All the best with that 🙏

[prisma badger]

i have 10 employees now and thank you

[cunning shadow]

Niceeeeee

[prisma badger]

if you need help with the gae just ask me

[cunning shadow]

Okie

[cunning shadow]

FINALLYYYYYYYYYYY

[cunning shadow]

Got it done...

Realized that instead of trying to actually blit the text onto the surface, it made more sense to just blit it onto the screen on the Coords ontop of the surface

def write_dialogue(self, text, display, screen):
        text = self.set_render_text(text, 30, 0.5, 0.8, (200, 200, 200))
        dbox = Surface((int(SCREEN_WIDTH * 0.8), int(SCREEN_HEIGHT * 0.4)))
        dbox_rect = dbox.get_rect(center=text[1].center)
        screen.blit(dbox, dbox_rect)
        screen.blit(text[0], text[1])
        display.flip()

        delay(4000) 

Another 3 hours of my life wasted on such a minor issue

[sick latch]

can somebody give a link of a really good pygame tutorial?

[simple beacon]

ook

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY9MnQ4x3zk&t=5901s

tells you almost everything you need to know

[true cedar]

yo guys for some reason pygame doesn't check for rectangle collisions event tho it happened and was suppose to check if it happened ```def bullet_h(YELLOW_BULLETS, RED_BULLETS, yellow, red):
for bullet in RED_BULLETS:
bullet.x + BUL_VEL
if yellow.colliderect(bullet):
pygame.event.post(pygame.event.Event(yellow_hit))
RED_BULLETS.remove(bullet)
elif bullet.x > WIDTH:
RED_BULLETS.remove(bullet)

for bullet in YELLOW_BULLETS:
    bullet.x -= VELO
    if bullet.colliderect(red):
        YELLOW_BULLETS.remove(bullet)
        pygame.event.post(pygame.event.Event(red_hit))
    elif bullet.x <0:
        YELLOW_BULLETS.remove(bullet)```

[patent urchin]

that collision is what you have to program on your own

[true cedar]

wait wdym

[patent urchin]

yes

like how i told that we need to create hovering on our own

this collision also is to be done by us, at least that is what i do

[true cedar]

but then the bullet is moving at the speed of about 9 pixels per while loop

so shouldn't it travel and hit the yellow/red rectangle

so you wouldn't be confused red and yellow is a rectangle

[patent urchin]

um

see

when it is hitting it, you must add a logic to stop it

i am telling to create your own function which searches for a hit on the rectangle

dont use pygame one

[true cedar]

hmm ok so i make a new function just to search for the bullet?

[patent urchin]

no

just to check if the bullet hits the rectangle

[true cedar]

so something like
def collide(YELLOW_BULLETS, RED_BULLETS, red, yellow):

something like that first then the logic?

[patent urchin]

ya you can do that

[true cedar]

the logic is yellow.colliderect(bullet)

right? and some others

or with an if?

[true cedar]

wait i realized that if i change the yellow.colliderect(bullet) to red.colliderect(bullet)

it will work

why tho

[patent urchin]

um no idea

i would need to see the game for that

[true cedar]

can you point out the mistake i made that created the issue?

i can dm you the code

[patent urchin]

ok but later

[true cedar]

aight

[patent urchin]

yes now you can give

@true cedar

[silk hinge]

On PyGame Docs, it tells me that pygame.display.set_mode parameters are just requests/hints to the OS. Does that mean that when writing my PyGame logic, I shouldn't program as if the screen size was the thing I actually passed into set_mode and instead call pygame.display.get_window_size to get the size? I'm asking because I haven't seen other people do it this way so I'm not sure

[round obsidian]

@silk hinge generally, that means if the request fails, there will be an error delivered

like, if you ask for a 10000x10000 display and you don't have one, it'll error out

[silk hinge]

but is it possible that the OS goes "I'll give it a 9000x9000 display because ..."

@round obsidian

[cold storm]

Hey all
update !

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9y0tkvPLnks

[round obsidian]

possible? yes. Likely? no.

[dawn quiver]

Hey can smoene help me to shrink a sprite?

Im really lost right now trying to develop a platformer because my tile sprite is bigger then I want by like 100x

and got no clue ho to shrink it

[sick latch]

ty

[sick latch]

pygame.transform.smoothscale for smooth scaling and pygame.transform.scale for regualar scaling

[normal silo]

You need to take into account that the user may resize the window in any way they like. To facilitate this, you need to make your game logic operate on its own unit system which is then scaled to the current screen size.

Which may also require letterboxing and pillarboxing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letterboxing_(filming)

(Pillarboxing is what you see in all the modern videos shot vertically on phones (bars on the sides))

This covers it all nicely for games: https://felgo.com/doc/felgo-different-screen-sizes/

[dawn quiver]

@sick latch it wasnt really working

for me

[woven sierra]

hi i have doubt before i work on my new project :-
i used to do python script editing on a game which is for android that game have geather mode (online mode)
to make server i have to edit its script and add mods
and it runs on ec2 ubuntu aws server

• my doubt is can i run google admob ads or any commercial ads into that? before joining players they have to see ads

[gaunt badger]

Hi, have an issue with pygame "reseting" my on screen selector if I move my mouse.

any guides to avoid this?

[rustic beacon]

hello everyone

i have trooble

I'm trying to make a game and it's gives me error saying:

    self.image = self.animation_list[self.action][self.frame_index]
IndexError: list index out of range```

but i have a function to stop this

so i don't understand

here is my code:

https://srcshare.io/?id=613205a3d568298173399b26

the error takes place in the Soldier class and the if in_air: in the game loop

[patent urchin]

hey i am trying to solve your problem

but for that can you provide me with the pictures?

of the sprites?

@rustic beacon

[silk hinge]

they arent supposed to be able to resize it anyway

[rustic beacon]

I'm very sorry, right now I cannot get to my main computer with the sprites, but if there's anything I can tell you that doesn't need it I can

[patent urchin]

no worries

you can send tomorrow even

[rustic beacon]

I should be able to in about 2 hours, is that good?

[rustic beacon]

Hey @patent urchin Im back

would you like screenshots to see the locations?

[rich folio]

how do I draw and ellipse on a surface?

[rich sand]

use pygame.draw.ellipse(surface, color, rect)

check out the docs

https://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/draw.html#pygame.draw.ellipse

[patent urchin]

ok

[spark plover]

Why is the text not there?

nvm

i got it

but i would need the photos themselves

[dawn quiver]

Someone they would make a game

I have a great plan

[spring bloom]

how can i start learning game dev

in py

[dense creek]

Start with Arcade or Pygame

Personally recommend Arcade (https://arcade.academy). although I never used it, its quite beginner-friendly from what I've heard.

[cloud shell]

What is the best game development framework for developing 3D games?

Should I even use a framework? Or should I use an engine like Unity

If so, what engine should I use?

Also don't games uses a different language?

[dense creek]

Personally recommend Panda3D.

Uses Python as the main scripting language. You can also use C++ for programming in place of Python.

[cloud shell]

What about using an engine? @dense creek

Also why ur name a useless infinite loop?

[dense creek]

That's completely up to you. Panda3D is what i recommend.

[dense creek]

I honestly don't know at this point.

[cloud shell]

When should I use one over the other?

Or rather why?

[glossy umbra]

Hi friends, who can help me ?

how can i implement two fishes and bubbles on my aquarium

clock = pygame.time.Clock()

position = Vector2(100.0, 100.0)
speed = 250
heading = Vector2()

while True:

        destination_y = event.pos[1] - sprite.get_height()/2.0
        destination = (destination_x, destination_y)


        heading.from_polar(destination)

For some reason, this isn't working. Using pyganim to load my images from my sprite sheet. Any idea why this error is ocurring?

[glossy umbra]

@cunning shadow , thank u , i will try

[cunning shadow]

?

[glossy umbra]

Ooops, sorry

[cunning shadow]

I'm not sure about vectors... but for sprites, I recommend making a class, and inheriting from pygame.spirte.Sprite

Then in your main while loop... you can handle creating sprites and stuff

Example:

import pygame
from random import randint
class Fish(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
  def __init__(self):  
    # The position arg is if you 
    super(Fish, self).__init__()
    self.surf = pygame.image.load("path").convert()
    # Gets rid of the white background
    self.surf.set_colorkey((255, 255, 255))
    # Say you want the fish to spawn in a random 100 x 100 area
    position = (randint(range(0, 100), range(0, 100)))
    self.rect = self.surf.get_rect(center=position)

Then in while loop

fishies = []
while True:
  if len(fishies) < 2:
    new_fish = Fish()
    fishies.append(new_fish)
    # or fishies.append(Fish())

  # Then whenever you blitting your sprites
  [screen.blit(fish.surf, fish.rect) for fish in fishies]
  """ Or for readability purposes
  for fish in fishies:
    screen.blit(fish.surf, fish.rect)
"""

@glossy umbra

[glossy umbra]

Thank u i will try

before your help, i try using my code, but two fishes desappears on the aquarium

Now i will try your code

[cunning shadow]

oh?

You have to draw them every frame

in the while loop

[glossy umbra]

@cunning shadow , i dont know where i need to change the code

iam more confused

cause i need to change the background too like a aquarium

[reef stone]

hey! maybe this would be a good channel to ask an optimization question.
I'm trying to optimize this numpy-based code:

_NUM_ELEMENTS = 1000000
_N_PLANES = 6

all_planes = np.random.normal(size=(_N_PLANES, 4))
elem_bbox_min = np.random.normal(size=(_NUM_ELEMENTS, 3))
elem_bbox_max = np.random.normal(size=(_NUM_ELEMENTS, 3))

planes_normal = all_planes[:, :3]
planes_greater_than_zero = planes_normal > 0


def is_bbox_contained_or_intersects_for_all_elements(planes, bbox_min, bbox_max):
    bbox = np.where(planes_greater_than_zero[:, None, :3], bbox_max, bbox_min)
    multiplied = planes_normal[:, None] * bbox
    dot = multiplied.sum().transpose()
    return ~np.any(dot < -planes[..., 3], axis=-1)

contained = is_bbox_contained_or_intersects_for_all_elements(all_planes, elem_bbox_min, elem_bbox_max)

runs in ~300ms on my laptop.
vmprof relevant call graph:

Anyone has any pointers that can help or is this as good as it gets?

[cunning shadow]

Uh... Sorry for the late response

If you are already able to get the fish to load...
and if you're storing them in a list like you should be

somewhere in your while loop... just have

for fish in list_that_contains_fish:
  screen.blit(fish.surf, fish.rect)

Wait... looking at your code... what do you mean that it's disappearing

[cunning shadow]

Fixed it... apparently you had to pass at least an empty list to the rects keyword of the func 🤢

[glossy umbra]

Hi, iam here again, i had a problem with my PC

On my aquarium the fishes after swiming disappearing on the aquarium

[exotic laurel]

What game engine are you using? or.. is it your irl aquarium (also is there an error)

aquarium is my background

Now its works, but i need put two fishes on my aquarium

[true cedar]

yo i have a question

is OOP needed for pygame?

[solid meteor]

Yes. Pygame uses Surface objects to draw things to the screen.

[proper basalt]

hello. Recommend a good book or video course about pygame

[true cedar]

so i should learn it right?

[solid meteor]

Yeah, object orientation is important for a lot of coding with Python (and it's important for Pygame)

[true cedar]

can u send me a tutorial for like OOP in pygame? and how it works

[real trench]

Not sure if this goes here. But what would be the best ai to use if the player and computer got diffrent movements?

[stray canyon]

This is my first time doing 3d rendering and I have no clue what the "right" thing to do is. Im using panda3d to make a load of cubes (nothing else atm, maybe a ui and some transparent cubes in future). All they need to do at the minute is show and hide (though colour changing might be something to do later). Is it better to make one geom and work out where the corners are and modify the geom on the fly or make a load of cubes and .show() and .hide() when needed?

Also Idk if its better to put this in a help channel, if its just lmk and ill delete and move it

[tranquil girder]

one geom is much faster to render

[stray canyon]

Including the performance impact of modifying it often?

[cold storm]

each geometry is a drawcall in bge

I don't know about if panda3d has static drawcall batching automated or not

[frozen knoll]

@true cedar You might want to look at https://programarcadegames.com

[gritty moat]

What module should i use for making like a good and find and simple fame ?

Game*

[frozen knoll]

Try Arcade: https://arcade.academy

[cold storm]

I think UPBGE

it ties everything together in 1 package

you can make sprites too using the new sprite node
drive the frame with object color, and you can keyframe sprite animations that can play per actor

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwxg7QZdvxE

This is my own project

[hot torrent]

I want to start making a 2d game, what library should use?

or like yk

yeah

[frozen knoll]

Arcade or Pygame are some of the most popular choices. If you haven't done anything yet, I'd recommend Arcade. See https://arcade.academy and the examples to see if it is what you are looking for.

Documentation for Pygame is at https://pygame.org

Both are good.

I accidentally wrote display as diplay

[gray vapor]

Intrestin

[weary haven]

so i have a problem

when i do this only the snake_p2 is drawn

i ned them both

[dawn quiver]

what should i choose if i am making a free space educational game

[rich folio]

do you want to use a game engine or a library?

Hey guys, is it possible to achieve I scribble style kind of line in pygame?

like the scribble on the eyebrows

like are there different drawing "font"?

[dawn quiver]

idk

because i have no experience

[rich folio]

with what?

game dev or programming in general?

[dawn quiver]

python

game dev bro

[rich folio]

well if you already know how programming works, and don't want to create a game in pure code, you can use the Godot game engine

it uses a Python inspired language

[dawn quiver]

ooo

is it oss(open source software?)

[rich folio]

if you want to learn some programming and like writing in pure code, you can use pygame

[rich folio]

yeah

[dawn quiver]

ok

thank you

[cold storm]

100% python

BGE + BPY in harmony

[tepid hamlet]

Does pygame.Rect have a method similar to get_rect

[versed turret]

Prob

[last moon]

you could probably try to use fourier transforms to draw it, but you'd have better luck just using a texture

[rich folio]

how do I use a texture

that's the question

[last moon]

depends which library but you need to provide the path to your texture and load it onto/associate a sprite with it

[rich folio]

pygaem

pygame

ohh you mean load an image?

no I can't do that

because I'm using face landmarks

that's why I'm using pygame.draw

[last moon]

landmarks?

[last moon]

if you want to generate similar images, pygame isn't the library

[rich folio]

this

[last moon]

what's your endgoal? animation?

[rich folio]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mwK5H4xsuI

I'm trying to do this, create an avatar kind of

but with my own profile picture

[last moon]

im not at home rn but is it animated?

[rich folio]

not really

I mean you gotta see the video to understand

it's not a sprite

dunno how to explain

[last moon]

can you elaborate on 'avatar'?

ill check it out when ive got wifi

[rich folio]

will that be soon? I don't want to mislead you with my explanations:D

It's kind of like creating a snapchat filter but with pygame

pygame.draw

[last moon]

oh ok so like a mask?

[last moon]

because that's what that looks like to me

[rich folio]

yeah kinda

[rich folio]

oh that was just showing what landmarks are

[last moon]

similar to a vtuber?

[rich folio]

yeah :DDDDDDDDD

[last moon]

ok then ya pygame is 100% not the library

[rich folio]

The guy in the video did it with pygame

[last moon]

you probably could but it wouldn't be accurate

it'd also lock you to running python whenever you need it

unless pygame can render videos ig

[rich folio]

dude

watch the video when you can

[last moon]

my point still stands https://youtu.be/2mwK5H4xsuI?t=488 that's super inaccurate and im pretty sure he's still locked to a pygame window

the tensorflow aspect would've been nice to know

but i'd use it in conjunction with scikit (https://scikit-image.org/)

[rich folio]

yeah I said I have the landmarks

why not opencv?

[last moon]

opencv != scikit in the slightest

also a filter after it goes through the model would be helpful to smooth out the transitions between emotions

not too sure how you'd accomplish that but im sure it's out there

[rich folio]

how come?

[last moon]

opencv is image detection, scikit-image is image processing

actually I think I worded my argument wrong

you can 100% do it this way and achieve minimal results but you're essentially animating a video based on a select number of datapoints (face position in 3d + tf output) which means you'll be limited to what emotions you train tf and draw

[rich folio]

I'm not using tensorflow personally, I'm using a library "mediapipe"

[last moon]

but if you want 100% (+/- a bit) of it drawn, without those limitations you should focus more of mapping your face on to a image that you're manipulating in real time

still the same concept regardless

[rich folio]

whoa this is a little complicated

[rich folio]

how do I map my face to and image

wait so you're suggesting that instead of drawing, I should litterally attach the image (my pfp) to my face and stretch it accordingly?

[last moon]

basically ya

just a bit more than just stretching tho

[rich folio]

then what?

stretching seems really sloppy

[last moon]

image manipulation not just stretching

so formatting shapes + features according to the data recieved

it's probably somewhat doable algorithmically with scikit

if you dont want to train your own neural net

[rich folio]

duuude this sounds so interesting but sooo complicated

do you know any tutorials similar to what I'm trying to do with scikit

?

[last moon]

I don't but there's gotta be, I've only used scikit-learn and only a little bit but im sure you'd be able to find help in #data-science-and-ml

or do some research into facial tracking

(concepts not just python)

[rich folio]

okay thanks for the help!

[last moon]

keep me updated, sounds like a cool project regardless of which method you use

[rich folio]

okay I asked in #data-science-and-ml but I just realised I don't really understand how this would work at all. I mean, you can stretch images in pygame, so what would I be using scikit for

@last moon

[drifting ruin]

Making a game where you can control it using your hands.

[lunar venture]

Good god!

That's so cool!

[drifting ruin]

I will upload full game after completing it

[drifting ruin]

Thanks

[lunar venture]

How did you do this?

[drifting ruin]

Python Image processing + JavaScript game

[lunar venture]

With what library did you do the image processing

[drifting ruin]

Mediapipe.hands

And opencv

[lunar venture]

Okay cool

[drifting ruin]

Also used Matter physics engine for game

[rich folio]

that's very similar to what I'm trying to do, I'm also using mediapipe. Very cool!

[drifting ruin]

Share it when you're done. Would love to see it.

[rich folio]

yeah but I've kind of hit an obstacle. Don't know how to do it exactly. You can see if you scroll up a little

[drifting ruin]

I see. The idea seems to be really cool.
I got stuck at many parts too. Don't worry, everything has a solution.

[rich folio]

Yeah

I was recently looking through the pygame release 2.0.0 and couldn't help but notice it saying Android support through python for android (fork of pygame subset for android). Better documentation, and better support will come in future releases. Does this mean we can deploy pygame apps to Android?

It's a browser message, so no. You could zip the exe, though

[grim abyss]

wow, dude. what engine is that? unity?

[cold storm]

UPBGE

it's based on blender 3.0x

what's up with the haze over the entire scene ?

[cold storm]

it's fog

[grim abyss]

intended?

[cold storm]

it helps with the loading bubble too

yeah

ahh

[cold storm]

things emerge out of the fog at the ege of the screen

it's volumetric scattering

there is a world shader, a water shader, and a terrain shader at work

Hey! I recently started learning pygame but I've had an error which shows pygame not responding after some time. It would really help if someone could find my bug! Here's my code:

  screen = pygame.display.set_mode((800,600))

  pygame.display.set_caption("Space Invaders")

How is game development done using python??

[teal ember]

popular libraries are there which interact with C/C++ wrappers for rendering, and adding more features for it on top of them, some are there which wrap over these already existing python ones, which can be used to make games, you can check out some popular ones, arcade, pygame, pyglet, panda3d, ursina

[lusty granite]

like is there any game engine for it

or we have to do all the code?

@teal ember

[teal ember]

there are bindings to existing game engines like godot

some of the libraries already are high level and can be considered close to a game engine

[teal ember]

you need to do more things yourself as opposed to using a game engine, really your choice on what you want to use and what you prefer

[lusty granite]

ok

tnx

Ursina is built on Panda3D which is a full game engine, but it does not come with an editor. Although some has made their own editors in python with Ursina.

There is also https://upbge.org/ which is Blender's game engine which they removed in the latest version but this branch kept it. It uses python for scripting and flow diagrams.

[digital mist]

anyone there?

[dawn quiver]

blender is panda3d's editor as far as I'm concerned xD

euh editor

Hi , I want to create a button in my game that can control the background music on and off. The first click will stop the background music, and the second click can bring back the music. Now my button can control the music on and off, but I need to click multiple times to make it work, it seems that the click event is not captured every time, also i have 2 separate images for when music off an on and i want switch between them when the button is clicked (like if mute the unmute image .. and vice versa ) , but currently it only displays the mute button and when i click the button it displays unmute for 1 second ...

    if Main_menu is True:
        if Moving_BG is True:
            screen.blit(title, (480, 100))
            screen.blit(title_logo, (742, 130))
            if player.display_image():

                Main_menu = False
            if start_button.draw():

                soundoffbutton.draw()

        if Main_menu is False:  # add your game code from here

altho the game works perfectly fine

[gilded barn]

U doing something wrong

[viral latch]

but the game works just fine

will I send you the code?

Hey @viral latch!

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.

[viral latch]

also u gotta use pip install pygame

[viral latch]

bruh

[gilded barn]

Yeah

[viral latch]

soooooooo

will i dm it to u?

[gilded barn]

Yeah

[viral latch]

i have never even heard of .flac, .m4a, .wav. You allow those but not a rar

[gilded barn]

Oh

[proper peak]

Well, yes. Because these are multimedia files, not an archive that can have anything.

Also, the list of extensions allowed is pretty much the list of extensions Discord can embed.

hey guys I'm relatively new to coding in general but have decided to try and code a checkers game. im currently having bugs regarding

ModuleNotFoundErrors in VS studio

as well as an error with missing attributes but I believe that error is simply because its not importing properly

https://gyazo.com/601a0430913a7ff96799065b4982b697

https://gyazo.com/a1e0bba2e45e15641f8e35d6e53a58a2

https://gyazo.com/00147c1074c9ddb6788fca03513ad261

currently running into the ModuleNotFoundError running piece.py and board.py

so then when i run the main.py file it gives an Attribute error.

does anyone have an idea of what is going on and how to fix it. I am very new to using VS studio as well so forgive my lack of knowledge on a solution. I believe it has something to do with the pathing

but again im not quite aware of a solution to that type of issue

....
i see that i have violated some rules on here with regards to asking questions. please differ to help pretzel where i will format this better

[steep cliff]

I know yall might get mad but i want to start making games but dont know where to start you think anyone could help?

[steep cliff]

like is there a certain program i need or is there a video i should watch ex:

[round obsidian]

@steep cliff If you want to start with PyGame, the official PyGame site has a tutorial

Another library, Arcade, also has a tutorial http://arcade.academy/

[steep cliff]

Thank you ima start right now 🙂

im having trouble making a acount on pygame its saying registration disabled and asking me to confirm my account when im positive i dont have a account

[solar heron]

@steep cliff check out pyarcade as well 😉 The APIs are simple and they have some fantastic examples.

They also have a discord server full of helpful people who answer questions about arcade

[steep cliff]

ok so sorry for bothering

[solar heron]

No problem, this is the game I’m currently building with arcade 😉

[tribal moss]

so u were able to make a game like that and im here strugling to give my PONG game a scoring system that dosent bug out whenever the ball passes my paddles

good4u

[dawn quiver]

Which is better arcade or pygame

I wanna start game dev with python but can't choose between the two

[potent ice]

I would say arcade is higher level providing a lot of features out of the box. It's a game library

pygame is lower level. You have to do a lot more of the work yourself

BUT that might not be a bad thing of course

Drawback with Arcade is that it requires a semi-modern gpu to run, but that might not be a problem

[dawn quiver]

Oh

[potent ice]

While pygame can run on more pltaforms with cpu only

[dawn quiver]

So pygame is the better choice??

[potent ice]

On the other hand.. since arcade is using your graphics card it's a lot more powerful

Depends what it important to you

I'd say arcade has superior docs at the very least

[dawn quiver]

Hmmm

[potent ice]

You can't run arcade on a rasberry pi. If that is important.. use pygame

If win/linux/osx desktop is enough you can use arcade

[dawn quiver]

What about mobile

[potent ice]

I know pygame can run on android, but it's not that straight forward

[dawn quiver]

Is arcade good for mobile

[potent ice]

no

[dawn quiver]

So pygame is the best choice for mobile?

[potent ice]

I don't know the state of mobile stuff for pygame to be honest, but It's possible to make games for android

I would guess kivy might be easier for mobile

[dawn quiver]

Oh alr

I thought kivy was used to make apps

[potent ice]

Games are also apps 😄

[dawn quiver]

Oh true

@tribal moss and @dawn quiver pyarcade all the way. It has an amazing community (via discord), the docs/examples are solid, and the API is easy.

@tribal moss if you need help with game programming, I can help. 😉

[dawn quiver]

Oh wow

Is it good for beginners

Or at least people with a little experience

[solar heron]

Yes, it is. They have a discord too so if you get stuck people like me can help you out on it 😛

Appreciate it

Can you send me the sever link and docs

oh btw, can you use compute shaders with arcade?

[potent ice]

There are no wrapper for it, but you can use pyglet's bindings

I might make a wrapper for it, but we don't really use compute shaders in arcade yet

There is so much you can do with GL 3.3 core anyway

However.. moderngl do have a nice wrapper for compute shaders

The arcade wrappers are very similar to moderngl

[teal ember]

ohh, alright

[teal ember]

weren't compute shaders 4.2+ ?

[potent ice]

They are 4.2+ yes

But you can override min gl version in arcade if you want to

can even use moderngl with arcade if needed

It will find the context pyglet makes

It hasn't been requested before, but I might just add it no next version

hello

is anyone here working on pygame

[grand gate]

Does anyone have a simple Python program I can make to get some practice?

[willow pine]

nrh

neh

[severe saffron]

what kind of level are you at

[grand gate]

So I'm a PHP / Web programmer and getting into Python. It looks fun. I can print something a number of times, use the math module. I guess I'm looking for a practical application for some practice

[severe saffron]

sure, sounds like a good idea

try making a program which asks the user for a number, then prints a staircase like this

|_
  |_
    |_``` with that number of steps

might take a bit more learning and some trial and error but

hopefully it'll be rewarding

[grand gate]

nice! That's a good one 🙂

so I would take the input and then output the spaces and characters. Sounds fun

limiting the number of input numbers

[severe saffron]

well constraining to 0 or above and integer

[grand gate]

yea but not like 100, maybe 10

[dawn quiver]

Im working with some junior developers. They are new to game programming. I want them to understand my code but im writing an ecs and im not sure if this is a good idea for people just starting out.

What should i do to build up thier knowledge?

[potent ice]

That might be a next step after understanding whatever library you are using for your game

If you're new to game programming I think ECS is very overwhelming

I think you need to at least understand the game library before moving to ECS

I might be wrong...

[dawn quiver]

mind looking at what ive got so far? I might switch to something simpler for their sake. Ive also suggested for them to make a simple game like snake or tetris first.

class Component:
    pass


class Archetable:
    def __init__(self):
        self.entities = []
        self.type = set()

    def __iter__(self):
        for entity in self.entities:
            yield entity

    def over_components(self, *Components):
        for components in self.entities:
            entity = []
            for component in components:
                if type(component) not in Components:
                    continue
                index = Components.index(type(component))
                entity.insert(index, component)

            yield entity


class Camera(Component):
    def __init__(self):
        self.id = 0


class Controller(Component):
    def __str__(self):
        return self.__class__.__name__


arche = Archetable()
arche.entities.append([Controller()])
arche.entities.append([Controller()])
arche.type.add(Controller)
arche.type.add(Camera)

for controller, in arche.over_components(Controller):
    print(controller)

[normal silo]

Don't use an ECS, ECS is overkill for almost every situation. Unity uses an ECS because they have to be a super generic game engine that needs to work for everyone and still be fast.

[dawn quiver]

oh ok so what should i do instead?

[normal silo]

Make a game, not an engine.

[dawn quiver]

just have a big array of game objects

well its not really an engine its a framework its a way of structuring code.

[normal silo]

Yeah, just do whatever the specific game wants you to do. No frameworks.

After you have done that a lot, you can approach the idea of a framework.

[dawn quiver]

hmm alright. That actually requires a bit more thinking than just mindlessly making an ecs.☺️

partly becuase im not sure exactly what they want. So i need to make some decisions myself

[normal silo]

Yes, but that's because you are solving the actual problem, making a game. When someone says they want to make a framework, it's really code word for "I don't want to solve the actual problem so I made up this other more ideal problem to work on instead".

Game engines come into play when you need to make something actually big, with many moving parts, so you need a communication system for the various systems, which often comes in the form of Entities/GameObjects.

(To track the shared data)

[dawn quiver]

alright ill see what i can do. Do you mind if i add you as a friend and can i share in dm some of my code?

[normal silo]

No, don't add me.

In short, I recommend the No Engine (tm) game engine.

For beginner game programmers, start with games that have no graphics (just in the terminal). Then recreate them with graphics with something like arcade.

After that, move on to real-time games (that can't exist in the terminal unless you do pseudographics in it).

(What can't really be a board game IRL)

[dawn quiver]

i think one of my first games was mancala in the terminal

[normal silo]

To transition to the idea of Entities, just show how one of the games they already made can be thought of as a bunch of entities (such as each tetrimino in tetris being an entity).

(and that various entities can interact with each other)

[dawn quiver]

i cant think of a way to do it without entities or objects. Not entities in the ecs sense. Like wouldnt it be needlesy hard to do it without classes?

[normal silo]

Yes exactly, tetris is too simple for a game engine. It has 1 system.

Just do the direct thing first.

In fact an ECS is just trying to recapture this direct route while being very generic and allowing for multiple people to work on different systems in parallel.

But for a single person it will only add more work. Yet, a single person will still use say, Unity because it has all this other work done for you (like graphics, physics, etc).

And they use an Entity system so they can keep adding more to it.

(they don't know what you want/need, nor which game you are making (only general things you might want))

[dawn quiver]

they wont like some of this. Like making terminal games might bore them. but its how i started out.

[normal silo]

That's why it's important to transition quickly from the terminal games.

These days there are so many good libraries for making that easy.

Things get more fun the further one goes. Especially once one understands some of the basic game mathematics used. Then all sorts of real-time physics-y games can be made which are often very popular.

For the maths I highly recommend this series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOYiVLEnhrw

(There is also a shader series)

[dawn quiver]

Thanks for the advice. Ill see what i can do.

i like the math portion of it. Like taking the dot product can tell if somerthing is facing the same way as something else. Ive also made a SAT collision system

n++ uses SAT.

[normal silo]

Yea, combined with some simple shaders, one can get very nice looking and very interactive games.

[dawn quiver]

Ive just always struggeled with how i should code it. How should i strucutre it.

so thats why i looked to ecs

[normal silo]

(just don't touch networking, it's a far too advanced topic and is something one does after already understanding many things)

[dawn quiver]

yes i told them we should make it stand alone first

[normal silo]

One of the most simple structures is that everything is an Entity and Entities are god objects (they have everything in them, don't worry about wasting memory).

Like a much more simple ECS.

Entities just have flags (like ENTITY_FLAG_GRAVITY, which makes it fall if enabled).

[dawn quiver]

and update logic too?

[normal silo]

The update logic is the same for every entity.

1 function, it just checks which flags are enabled and does the stuff.

This setup also allows level designers to play around by playing with flags and starting values.

[dawn quiver]

oh i never thought of that. What i usually do when not thinking about ecs is to make my entities have data and update and render methods specific to what type of object they are

[normal silo]

(Entities can be stored in TOML files).

[dawn quiver]

but this flag system seems interesting

[normal silo]

That works, but this composition way allows for more play by the designers.

It's a really old method, just like ECS.

Don't allocate entities, just pre-allocate some N entities upfront and re-use them. This way the game's memory usage is near constant (if programmed in C, it could be constant).

And now you also have a well defined upper bound on allowed number of entities.

[dawn quiver]

I got to go to sleep but ill be up tommorow to ask more questions

[normal silo]

good night

[normal comet]

good night

Like when i fire and the bullet that goes i can move it with arrow keys as well :|

[dawn quiver]

oh

[karmic hound]

But i just increased the speed so its not that visible now

But i would still like to learn

I will most probably be offline you can dm me if you want my dms are always open 🙂

[dawn quiver]

gunX += playerX_change line is the culprit. You are relying on it to position your bullet correctly. make it so that while the bullet is alive or active the bullet x position does not follow your ship. and when the bullet is dead make it follow the ship.

[karmic hound]

O

[dawn quiver]

There are better ways of doing this though

but that requires you to learn about classes

which is esential

[karmic hound]

Yea pls help me

[dawn quiver]

very important

[karmic hound]

[dawn quiver]

someone know?

[tranquil girder]

don't do it inside Sky()

[tepid hamlet]

For some reason, in the code below, character’s y position gets decremented by 120 after the delay. Why is that?py character.y -= 120 pygame.time.wait(1500)

[spring bloom]

To make games in python do u need to know advance maths

Cause I kinda suck at maths

[potent ice]

Not really, no.

[frozen knoll]

The drawing doesn't happen until after the wait.

[potent ice]

You might have to learn some simple things, but that's at least a lot more fun when working on a game

[tepid hamlet]

If that was for me, is there a way to get around it?

[potent ice]

You need to find a way to do it without the waiting

For example start some kind of timer and keep drawing your frames until a 1.5 seconds have passed

Or.. if you are fine with the 1.5s stall .. wait after things are drawn

[tepid hamlet]

Would putting an if statement checking whether its y axis is equal to a certain number, and if true, then it starts the wait?

[potent ice]

You know that wait() will pause the entire program, right?

Can you actually get away with doing that? I don't think so.. usually at least

[tepid hamlet]

I thought it runs the other code not associated with the block of code trying to be waited. Then is there a difference between wait and delay?

[potent ice]

try that```py
print("A")
pygame.time.wait(1500)
print("B")
pygame.time.wait(1500)
print("C")

It will sleep the entire process according to docs

Another way is to use timers. You can store a future event with some duration

pygame.time.get_ticks() will tell you the current time

• 1500 is 1.5 seconds later

You check every frame if this duration has elapsed

I might not fully understand why you are using wait() here in the first place.. but at least.. never stall your game like that.

[tepid hamlet]

Why isn’t my code running like the way this does?

[potent ice]

You can use it, but 1.5s is a loong time

It does run just like that

[tepid hamlet]

A gets printed right when the code gets run

[potent ice]

Correct

Your characer.y will change immediatly

but you don't see the consequences of changing character.y until the sleeping is done

I'm assuming you are looking at what happens in the screen. What you draw will be 1.5s delayed

So it will happen when B is printed

[tepid hamlet]

🤔

Interesting

Thank you

[potent ice]

Think of wait() as your entire program freezing in time. Nothing happens until 1.5s have passed

Usually it means you need to find another way to solve this

[lunar latch]

Hello how many game engines are available in python?

[past stream]

.

[hushed umbra]

pls tell me how to fix the error in the terminal called pip was not recognized

[tranquil girder]

yes, write some text to a file

you can use json for example

[late kiln]

pygame.display.set_caption('zoomerz')
clock = pygame.time.Clock()

background_surface = pygame.image.load("C:/Users/admin/Downloads/graphics/sky.JPG")

background_surface = pygame.Surface((100,200))

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

    screen.blit(background_surface(0,0))
            
    
    
    
pygame.display.update()
clock.tick(60)

CAN i know what is wrong here?

this has been bugging me for long

nvm

ill figure it out

[supple cargo]

@late kiln what error are you getting

one I would recommend that you first make a folder and in that folder keep the .py file and all the images

that way you wont have to write this "C:/Users/admin/Downloads/graphics/sky.JPG"

[supple cargo]

second the loop is a weird way, you are keeping it True while exiting it, i dont know if this would create problems but the better way of doing it is like :

running = True
while running:
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            running = False
            
pygame.quit() #This has to be outside the loop because when the loop ends then only will this line be executed

and the BIGEST mistake is

you are changing background Surface

background_surface  = pygame.image.load("C:/Users/admin/Downloads/graphics/sky.JPG")


background_surface = pygame.Surface((100,200)) # Whyyy ????? and what is pygame.Surface???

And moving ahead there is a small syntax mistake

screen.blit(background_surface(0,0))```

It is supposed to  be ```screen.blit(background_surface, (0,0))```

I don't know how i should organize my code. My camera has a target that it follows. My player has a camera that it gets drawn relative to. So there is this kind of dependency loop that i dont know how to resolve.

Making a super simple game, at the moment when I hit into titles that do damage it does dozens of damage to my character instead of just one. How do I put a "timer" on how many times it checks for damage per second or something similar?

[proper peak]

Store in your character object the last tick it took damage at. Don't apply new damage unless that last time was long enough ago.
