[still hedge]

I've been messing around with arcade lately and I rather like it

people have been plugging ursina a bit here, but it looks like it's barely documented, so that's a nonstarter on my end

[marble surge]

Please help me in #help-pie

[finite gale]

boblox

[frozen knoll]

@graceful lance also look at Arcade, pyglet, kivy

[silver fable]

Ursinia

[golden basalt]

where is this UI from ?

[hybrid burrow]

Which library you recommend to begin with 3d games and graphics?

[potent ice]

Depends how deep you want to go. Just playing around with Ursina might be a good start. If you want to go way deeper there are things like pyopengl and moderngl that are different bindings for opengl. I'm sure there are other options as well.

[hybrid burrow]

I only want to give it a shot, if I'll like it. Than, maybe, I go deeper.

[potent ice]

Ursina then

[hybrid burrow]

Ok, thanks!

[potent ice]

Start by playing around with the examples they have

[hybrid burrow]

In the Friday evening I will sit down and take a look.

[teal ember]

really? great work, is this in raylib-py? (just guessing from the font)

[snow hill]

thx 🙂

[snow hill]

it's https://www.harfang3d.com/

[teal ember]

oh thats cool

[nimble pasture]

can someone explain the following code to me please:

import sys

import pygame

class AlienInvasion:
    
    def __init__(self):
        pygame.init()
        
        self.screen = pygame.display.set_mode((1200,800))
        pygame.display.set_caption("Alien Invasion")
    
    def run_game(self):
        while True:
            for event in pygame.event.get():
                if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
                    sys.exit()
            
            pygame.display.flip()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    ai = AlienInvasion()
    ai.run_game()

also, are game mostly made via OOP?

[snow hill]

video games existed before OOP became an industry standard 😄

so, no

pacman (arcade): not OOP

outrun (arcade): not OOP

street fighter 2 (arcade): not OOP

all these games were actually programmed in assembly langage 😄

more recent games, on the 32 or 64 bits consoles, were written in C

without a single drop of OOP

possibly, really recents games are created in C++, but C++ doesn't necessarily means everything is implemented using the OO paradigm

import sys # import some system stuff (read some files, scan the disk, this kind of things)

import pygame # import pygame (framework to code games in python)

class AlienInvasion: # why is there any need for a CLASS to implement the game ? Are we going to instantiate the game THREE TIMES in the same single contexte ? (spoiler: no)
    
    def __init__(self): # classic class constructor, it actually will setup pygame stuff (open a screen, init the input devices, ...)
        pygame.init()
        
        self.screen = pygame.display.set_mode((1200,800))
        pygame.display.set_caption("Alien Invasion")
    
    def run_game(self): # main game loop, a game is mostly ALWAYS a loop, it loops until you die (then loops again)
        while True: # loop forever
            for event in pygame.event.get(): # if pygame catch a close/quit event
                if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
                    sys.exit() # just quit Python
            
            pygame.display.flip() # swap the virtual & physical display. This is the mandatory stuff to avoid screen tearing or flickering (google on "double buffer")

if __name__ == '__main__': # call this if the main is invoked directly (and not imported)
    ai = AlienInvasion() # instantiate the game from the class (again, what is the PURPOSE of doing a class for a game ??)
    ai.run_game() # call the run method, the endless loop, you know :)

@nimble pasture voila 🙂

[nimble pasture]

Thank you very much for that! I'm using the Python Crash Course book and it's using classes lol

[snow hill]

yeah, I suspect people don't even know why they are using classes

some people, at least

[silent ridge]

Can someone explain the wizardry of display resolution to me (in pygame)? My screen is a mess. I've spent a week, and all there is on stack overflow is numpties talking about display.FULLSCREEN. I mean, My screen is stretched as f*ck and I don't know why!

DISPLAYSURF = pygame.display.set_mode((1920, 1080), pygame.FULLSCREEN)

That's my shit there, like.

[graceful lance]

Is Gdot hard to learn if you know python?

[silent ridge]

My girlfriend says I can never find the GDot.

But, getting back on topic- How can I control the little wizard inside the light box that handles display resolution in pygame?

I've spent a week on this now. All hope has become lost, and I've grown more facial hair than I should have, and have neglected showering. Is this normal for a programmer?

[upbeat cosmos]

No. Get a terapist.

[silent ridge]

Kidnap a therapist?

[upbeat cosmos]

Yes.

[silent ridge]

Well, alright.

[upbeat cosmos]

(this a joke)

[silent ridge]

Yeah I'm kiddin' too don't sweat it. (OR AM I?)

[upbeat cosmos]

But you should shower man, very useful.

[silent ridge]

Showering is a great place to talk to my rubber duck about coding

Sometimes he talks back.

He's a great listener!

(Google "Rubber Ducking" it's totally a thing!)

[upbeat cosmos]

Tell a therapist. This isnt normal

[silent ridge]

It's 100% normal for a coder to talk to a rubber duck.

[upbeat cosmos]

Alright, is this a troll?

[silent ridge]

It's a way of hashing out problems.

Nope

[upbeat cosmos]

[silent ridge]

100% serious. Everything I said before that was just havin' a laugh, but rubber ducking really is a thing!

The idea is that you voice your problems out loud

I think. And then talking it through with an inanimate object

Personally I just think it's because software developers get lonely lol

[upbeat cosmos]

Ehh, maybe

[silent ridge]

You know any pygame btw?

I'm pulling my hair out as to why my screen is stretched

Stack Overflow has been about as useful as a fart in a spacesuit

[upbeat cosmos]

I came for advice, absolutely not

[silent ridge]

I've narrowed it down to this, but who knows: DISPLAYSURF = pygame.display.set_mode((1920, 1080), pygame.FULLSCREEN)

Ah well

What you need help with?

[upbeat cosmos]

try making it separetly

[silent ridge]

I got nothing on tonight

[upbeat cosmos]

idk

[silent ridge]

What's your problem?

I can help maybe

[upbeat cosmos]

Oh... well

where do i start?

[silent ridge]

Paste a snippet

Use the three ` things

like hit ` three times

when pasting code in here, and then again at the end

It's the key to the left of the num 1 on keyboard

[upbeat cosmos]

thanks

[silent ridge]

I'll take a look

[upbeat cosmos]

PLEASE

[silent ridge]

Yeah, see it might just be too large a file

[upbeat cosmos]

ok

[dawn quiver]

the code is too long

[silent ridge]

Do you know where you've gone wrong?

[upbeat cosmos]

"""print("Hello world!")"""

[silent ridge]

Just post a wee snippet

[upbeat cosmos]

i hope that doesnt get filtered

[silent ridge]

Read the error message

Read me the error message when you try and compile

[upbeat cosmos]

no error

[silent ridge]

And if you can, narrow it down to the line/s that are flagging an error unless it's a runtime error

[upbeat cosmos]

o.o

[silent ridge]

Ah! That's called a "Runtime Error"

See? I know cool shit

[upbeat cosmos]

wow

[silent ridge]

What is it you're trying to do then with your code?

[dawn quiver]

yeah, usually happens in functions

[silent ridge]

Ugh they are the worst

[upbeat cosmos]

guys i know the basics

[silent ridge]

I mean if you miss a bracket, it's like, okay fine

[upbeat cosmos]

i made a spam bot

[silent ridge]

Ah! Sweet. What's it you're after then?

No kidding? Well that 100% makes me not want to help you kinda. I mean, are you quite young?

[upbeat cosmos]

yes

[upbeat cosmos]

yes

[silent ridge]

I did that shit when I was a kid, so I can't be too hard on you

[upbeat cosmos]

same shit

13 yo

[silent ridge]

Yeah making naughty code is one way to learn. Should probably be doing something else though kid

[upbeat cosmos]

eh i love computers

take a look

brb let me get it

[silent ridge]

Like, anarchy sounds like such a great idea but when you're a kid you never think about "What happens when I need a Dentist?" or whatever

[dawn quiver]

if you like this things pick robotic in your high school it teaches you some java basics

[silent ridge]

Nahhh... it's cool.

Java is great. Sounds like you have reached a point beyond scripting

Interfacing is so hard serdus.

[upbeat cosmos]

import keyboard, time
def spam():
keyboard.write("spam.")
keyboard.press("enter")
for i in range(100):
spam()

[silent ridge]

I made a robot arm connect to my RaspberryPi, but after weeks of trying I couldn't get it to move accordingly

[upbeat cosmos]

oop forgot the time

[silent ridge]

How did you deliver it?

[upbeat cosmos]

import keyboard, time
def spam():
keyboard.write("spam.")
keyboard.press("enter")
for i in range(100):
spam()
time.sleep(0.1)

[silent ridge]

I mean this is really naughty, but you're just a kid.

[upbeat cosmos]

took code, remade it

[dawn quiver]

that's how everyone starts

[silent ridge]

I totally started off by doing this stuff

[upbeat cosmos]

great

[silent ridge]

As an adult though I regret it

[upbeat cosmos]

hold on brb

on in a few mins

[silent ridge]

sure

You like designing games though?

Oh he's afk

[dawn quiver]

I'm actually 14

[silent ridge]

Lol, serdus the first thing I ever did was make a ping flooder

That was in the nineties

Sure, that's cool too

You like games tho?

[dawn quiver]

I started doing programs to solve the maths we learned in class

[silent ridge]

I mean that stuff is all off topic and probably against the rules.

[dawn quiver]

yeah

[silent ridge]

You would LOVE matlab

Matlab is Chefs kiss!

There's an open source kind of matlab too but I forget its name

Do you know Matlab?

[dawn quiver]

sure but I like more scripting in a basic text editor

[silent ridge]

OMG you're going to have the best time learning matlab

You can write in any function, and it can not just plot it graphically and solve it, but it can do so much other neat stuff too

You don't use an IDE?

How come?

For learning purposes?

It's one way to do it.

[dawn quiver]

I'm starting to use it but maybe too hard for me right now

[silent ridge]

NAAHHHHHHHh

It's like if you were doing carpentry, you'd be a wee bit scared of the power tools at first, but you can't be a wimp! Just get stuck in, kid

You won't break anything I promise

[dawn quiver]

like GitHub copilot?

[silent ridge]

Matlab is more advanced

It's basically the industry standard in scientific research

[dawn quiver]

yeah but I don't know why installing python in windows without Microsoft store wasn't easy

[dawn quiver]

cool to know

[silent ridge]

Installing Python is a joke. I still, to this day, have no idea why it's so difficult. Like, it sets the default PATH and everything

And then it's like, btw you need to get pip

And gives you some CMD shit

CMD Line,

This is what happens when you put brilliant (I mean that) engineers in charge of UI

[dawn quiver]

I needed to search in Google a cmd command to search the paths of the files to find python

[silent ridge]

I know I know, man

It's silly, but nm

Are you using a linux os?

[dawn quiver]

after all I got it installed

[silent ridge]

Oh wait

Disregard

[dawn quiver]

I'm actually using windows 10

[silent ridge]

Yeah, lol, ironically installing with linux is easier than windows

Well, I mean, sorta. Linux is cool shit

[dawn quiver]

Linux is better but not all programs and games can be used in it

[silent ridge]

If you kids ever get interested in hacking wifi you should look up Kali, or ARCH Linux

I used to use a laptop with Kali on it

And backtrack I think it was called. I forget the softwares name now

But I'm an old dinosaur. Time has probably moved on since I did all that stuff as a kid

This is all very naughty though

Like, really it's better to make sure you're ethical hackers. Don't commit crime!

I mean that

A kid in my college had to pay a £10,000 fine after he broke into the libraries system

He's probably still paying it off

[dawn quiver]

in my highschool in the robotics class everyone copies me because they are too lazy to learn java

[silent ridge]

That happened to me!

[dawn quiver]

lol

[silent ridge]

I used to just do their homework because it was a template and only one right way to do it

I'd just give them a copy

But when the tests come and everyone gets 0%

It's pretty hilarious

Like, except you

[dawn quiver]

yeah

my teacher said he will make a test

[silent ridge]

Just tell them it's like reading a recipe. At the start is the ingredients, and the bit after that is the instructions

[dawn quiver]

but he's the best teacher i ever had

[silent ridge]

And to go "Line by line"

BASIC is just 1st line to END line

That's why people should start with BASIC

You ever play in pygame?

Like play around?

[dawn quiver]

we are using processing and many of them after more than 2 months don't even know what size() does

[dawn quiver]

nope

[silent ridge]

I think that's an often overlooked point in programming. "Definitions". English language is integral to understanding what shit does

Like, if you don't know a word, look it up in a dictionary

for sure. 100%

Pygame is pretty fun

[dawn quiver]

always works

[dawn quiver]

I'm Spanish and everyone in my class is really bad at English

[silent ridge]

It must be doubly difficult to code in a foreign language

But again, use a dictionary! ❤️

I am learning Arabic language

I do evening classes

[dawn quiver]

if you mean Russian for sure but English is not that hard

[dawn quiver]

that's cool

[silent ridge]

English has a lot of exception words

So you gotta have a good memory

If you're learning English

Arabic is more like assembling Lego

Lots of strange prefix and suffix

[dawn quiver]

most of my friends struggle with irregular verbs

[dawn quiver]

what a comparison

[silent ridge]

Those are the same as "Exceptions" yeah?

Heh

IT's true! It's like lego

[dawn quiver]

oh I didn't know that

[silent ridge]

Right, afk. Hopefully someone will turn up who can help me figure out my display problems

Thanks for the chat

[dawn quiver]

Hey, I teach kids from grade 4-12, 3D modelling and how to create VR/AR games for free. The concept of metaverse has amped recently which has resulted into requirements for creators of metaverse. I am making sure the Neo-generation is here boosting their skills.

If you wanna check out what kids have built, here is an example https://play.hatchxr.com/@Wyatt/Trophy-on-fire this game is built by grade 5 student.

So if you know anyone who would benefit from this, you could tell them to fill their deeds here;

arcade would be a good choice too

🖐️ i have a problem with lobby verible. When I assign the value of False to a variable, the button still displays.

you should clear the screen and draw other things when the variable is false right? otherwise it will display the things of the previous frame

[dawn quiver]

how do i clean the screen?

did you do pygame.image.load("...").convert_alpha()?

[open stump]

Tries to create a state that stores a direction they were going. From there, with else-if, just make the image match what you want.```

Tenta criar um estado que armazena a direção em que eles estavam indo. A partir disso, com else-if, é só fazer a imagem corresponder ao que você quer.

hi, cna anyone help me with ursina, only the first platform loads and not the 2nd one

from ursina import *

platone = Entity(
    model = 'cube',
    collider ='mesh',
    texture = 'grass',
    scale = (10, 1, 10),
    postition = (0, 0, 0)
)

plattwo = Entity(
    model = 'cube',
    collider ='mesh',
    texture = 'grass',
    scale = (10, 1, 10),
    postition = (12, 0, 0)
)

player = FirstPersonController()
Sky()

app.run()

Hey @devout karma!

Uh-oh! It looks like your message got zapped by our spam filter. We currently don't allow .txt attachments, so here are some tips to help you travel safely:

• If you attempted to send a message longer than 2000 characters, try shortening your message to fit within the character limit or use a pasting service (see below)

• If you tried to show someone your code, you can use codeblocks
(run !code-blocks in #bot-commands for more information) or use a pasting service like:

https://paste.pythondiscord.com

[normal silo]

To add to this, Godot 4.0, which is not officially out yet, is a huge improvement and is designed to work with pretty much any language you want as long as someone has made a plugin for it (one for python and many others already exists).

[proper peak]

Isn't it how it currently is?

Or does it add more official support for arbitrary language plugins?

[normal silo]

You can already, but 4.0 makes it nicer.

[proper peak]

ah

4.0 makes all parts of the engine nicer, faster, etc.

By a significant amount.

You can use tkinter windows

There is by default a package for pop up windows

Or create your own using widget

who knows how to make an autoclicker in pthon?

I made one:

[hasty whale]

try this

while True:
pyautogui.click

it'll just keep clicking at 11 cps (i think)

[muted spoke]

I'm trying to change either side of an image, using .flip() but when I use a key the image goes back to the initial state or do I do it to keep it flipped?

[potent ice]

Need a lot more context here. There are lots of game libraries and image libraries with flip()

[muted spoke]

I'm use self.image = pygame.transform.flip(self.image, True, False)

[potent ice]

I assume it would just keep flipping whatever image you give it

[muted spoke]

When you stop pressing it goes back to the right, it doesn't keep to the left

[potent ice]

ah right, so there's something with your movement logic

Would it not be simpler to pre-generate two sets of your sprite images?

One left turning and one right turning

.. and just detect direction and pick from the right version?

[muted spoke]

Yes

[potent ice]

I would definitely do that. It's both faster and reduces complexity a lot

Then direction would just be set when pressing the left and right key. easy

[muted spoke]

I used Sprite.Group I don't know how to update these images below

I actually don't know what to call these images

[potent ice]

sprite.image?

Yeah it seems you can assign a surface like that

I'm not that into pygame sprites, so probably others are better to answer this. I would at least load all the surfaces into a dict or something. Have a different key for left and right facing so they are easy to look up.

[muted spoke]

I'm going to make these keys so I don't know what to call them

Has anyone thought about doing a small game jam with Python to aggregate data from sites like Reddit and YouTube using their APIs, and using that data to make a game around it?

What do you do with those characters that would be fun? Zelda like RPG? Tower defence? Shooter? RTS?

custom texture.

Entity(model='cube', texture='texture_name')

[dawn quiver]

my man

nvm imma ask somewhere else lol

[tranquil girder]

Be more specific then

[dawn quiver]

How can I add a custom texture. (How do I implement one).

[tranquil girder]

Not sure what you mean. How to make it?

[devout rover]

is there anyone that can help with my pygame related problem im in the #help-lollipop channel

[dawn quiver]

As I said, I want to make my own custom texture, and not use a built-in one.

[tranquil girder]

Textures are just images. You can make them in Photoshop for example, or event paint

[dawn quiver]

But how would I implement this texture to a 3D object?

[dawn quiver]

I've already tried that, but it wont work properply

[tranquil girder]

Oh you mean define how the texture will fit on it?

That's defined in the model with uvs

uv mapping

[dawn quiver]

Yeah I guess? I have a png file of a picture, but all the tutorials I followed is saying i need a .blend file for it to be a 3d object

But I can't get it to work

[tranquil girder]

It doesn't load?

Or what does doesn't work mean in this case?

[dawn quiver]

It doesn't fit the object right, and it also is not 3d, check out this message: #help-pancakes message

[tranquil girder]

I can't see anything wrong in that screenshot

[dawn quiver]

Read the messages above too.

[tranquil girder]

What does the console say? Any error messages?

Do you have blender installed? You need that to open blend files

[dawn quiver]

Yup everything is installed, no errors, the textures isnt loaded and it doesnt apply it to the blocks

[tranquil girder]

So what doesn't load? The model or the texture?
Only thing wrong I can see in the code is that you use load_texture() instead of writing just the name

[dawn quiver]

The model doesn't work

The texture still somehow gets applied, but it gets applied wrong

[tranquil girder]

Oh, so the uv mapping is wrong?

The texture should fit the uv layout

[dawn quiver]

🤷

[tranquil girder]

look up uv mapping on youtube and you'll understand

[dawn quiver]

Alright thank you

Minecraft in 34 lines

[jolly cliff]

kinda reminds me of that clear code youtube tutorial on minecraft in python

you should also add a y position to the for loop in world

and make it so that the bllocks are randomly generated

[dawn quiver]

tried that, also tried to make the blocks ranges to be bigger but it ended up being super laggy

idk the fix though

[dawn quiver]

i followed that tutorial 😂

I edited it a bit though

[jolly cliff]

for z in range(20):
    for x in range(20):
        for y in range(5):
            if random.randint(1, 3) != 1:            
                block = Block((x,  y,  z))

[jolly cliff]

maybe just add blocks gradually on the update function and wait till the blocks are done before loading the player

[dawn quiver]

I dont know what its called but I was thinking of implementing that when you walk, a chunk of blocks gets generated towards the direction you walk, and the same amount of blocks behind you gets removed

to reduce the lag

but idk how to do that

[dawn quiver]

would you have an idea?

[tranquil girder]

if you image in 1D and you move right, when crossing a limit, move the leftmost blocks to the end
then do the same for all the directions

this is good for making an infinite world

but for better performance you should generate chunks instead of individual blocks too

[dawn quiver]

how would I generate chunks? This is also 3d

[tranquil girder]

Store the voxel data in a 3d list, for example 16x16x16. For each voxel, check the neighboring voxels and only add a face if there's not another solid block there. You can use the Mesh class for this. For collision you either want to wrtie custom voxel based collision, or only do collision around the player and not the whole world

[dawn quiver]

Thanks, could you also provide a very simple non-working psuedo code example?

[vague flame]

anyone have a bit of experience with panda3d

need a bit of help

[jolly cliff]

maybe minecraft in python isnt the best idea....

take up an engine unless ure an expert n programming

[dawn quiver]

ursina is a engine?

[dawn quiver]

this is how it looks rn

I just need the blocks to be auto generated

to reduce lag

[tranquil girder]

You'd run into the same issue in any other engine though.
But yes, you should consider starting with something simpler. It's pretty advanced

[dawn quiver]

Hmm, what could be more simple to do, to learn chunk generations

[tranquil girder]

chunk generation is just procedural geometry

Something like an arcade game is easier to start with

[willow echo]

Isn’t Minecraft generation the result of making a noise image and replacing white and black by values in the y coord?

[potent ice]

It depends how ambitious you are. Shrink the height and visible part of the world makes it a lot easier. Making something Terrariaish is also a lot easier... but still a challenge.

And like pokepetter so saying, procedural games are much more difficult. You can of course start making that, but it will be a massive challenge.

I helped out on a Terraria like game recently using the Arcade library. It turned out to be a lot more complex than the authors originally imagined it to be. Subprocesses to dynamically create new chunks. A lot of optimization to make chunk loading and unloading fast. Collision, block selection, terrain generation.. and the list goes on and on and on ...

how do i do to convert a python file WITHOUT LIBRARY to an executable

[proper peak]

convert to an executable without using any libraries like pyinstaller? You don't.

[safe spade]

but with tkinter

how i do

because pyinstaller not good

bad library

[proper peak]

Python isn't a compiled language. You need the interpreter to run python code. Pyinstaller cheats by packaging an interpreter along with your script into an exe file. That's pretty much the only way to "convert" a python file into an executable.

if your script uses only builtins, maybe nuitka would work to compile your script into C++ code and that way into an exe

ok

i have an idea

wait

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/opijuziguh.rb

change the code in application by that

[lost agate]

ok

[safe spade]

it's work

[lost agate]

what do i need to change here

[safe spade]

the first line

i come back later

[lost agate]

ok it launched but what is this

[safe spade]

A demo

Waiting

Wait

You have old code

I update the git

[lost agate]

i downloaded this

[safe spade]

Done

Don’t forget to change the first line

you have also a little code in the README file

Hello, why are these green lines showing in my pygame window?

Code ```py

pygame.init()

WIDTH, HEIGHT = 500, 500
WINDOW = pygame.display.set_mode((HEIGHT, WIDTH))

SQUARE_SIZE = 30
BOARD_SIZE = SQUARE_SIZE * 8

WHITE = (255, 255, 255)
BLACK = (0, 0, 0)

def draw_squares():
for file in range(9):
for rank in range(9):
square_colour = WHITE if (file + rank) % 2 == 0 else BLACK
pygame.draw.rect(WINDOW, square_colour, (SQUARE_SIZErank, SQUARE_SIZEfile, SQUARE_SIZE, SQUARE_SIZE))

draw_squares()

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

pygame.display.update()

[jolly cliff]

it runs well enough for me

I need the blue car to increase in size every 10px to symbolize it's approaching I don't know how to do thathttps://github.com/Gabriel018/Python-Games

[snow hill]

The impression of 3D is based on 2 facts :

• your need (internally) a depth information (Z)
• the further, the smaller, so if Z = 1 when the blue car is near and Z = 10 when it is far, just divide the size/scale by Z

• same for Y coordinate: you should not increase it linearly but divide it by Z instead

In a nutshell, you should store your coordinates in 3D, internally

Theres also a .mtl file. Is blender loading that?

[hidden osprey]

guys I just wanna ask if its possible to do a game menu with turtle library?

[grim abyss]

#help-grapes

[grim abyss]

Sure

[hidden osprey]

how? Im still new to python and im trinna make a minigame

[grim abyss]

But it would be painful if using a seperate game engine....

[hidden osprey]

??

didnt understand

[grim abyss]

Explain more of what you want to do? A game with the Turtle module?

[hidden osprey]

yes

and im trinna make a menu for that game

[grim abyss]

One sec

https://docs.python.org/3/library/turtle.html#turtle.TurtleScreen

You have to use tk and turtle to do that

[hidden osprey]

cna send you the script to explain how exactly i want to do that

?

[grim abyss]

Embed turtle.TurtleScreen in a tk canvas

[hidden osprey]

https://pastebin.com/GbY563Vh so here is the script

can u check the script first? then ill explain how exactly i wanna do it

[grim abyss]

You need to learn tk to do this

[hidden osprey]

o

ok

ill

try

[snow hill]

it depends... The textures are usually mentionned in the mtl file. It can be any format, tga, png, jpeg... it really depends how Ursina is able to import OBJ files.
One detail, however. The OBJ file is usually not able to carry animations or boned/skinned characters

@grim abyss you might want to try this, maybe... 🙂
https://github.com/harfang3d/tutorials-hg2

[tranquil girder]

use gltf/glb if you want to include stuff like textures and animation data

to load textures, write the name of the image

using mtl or loading it from a blend file is kind of weird if you're making textures from scratch yourself

[grim abyss]

Interesting...

[safe spade]

Question: is there person who would like to help me improve my engine?

[grim abyss]

@snow hill is there a zipfile of the tuts?

I have to send files from my phone to pc. PC without internet atm....

Every single GitHub page give you a download link to a zip file 🙂

Search for a green button 🙂

[grim abyss]

I had to load the "desktop" site, lol. Mobile version doesnt have green button 🤣

[snow hill]

Can’t you share the net connection of your phone to your PC ? 🙂

[grim abyss]

Well I could except this new phone has USB-C and I have no way to connect to my PC. Waiting on an adapter.....

No 3.5mm jack either... 😐

Hell of a phone though, lol

[snow hill]

Well, it shows that maybe having a proper internet connection is a kind of priority over any other topic 😓
I hope you can get this fixed really soon 😗

[grim abyss]

@frozen knoll does Arcade need pytiled-parser 1.5.4 specifically? I have pytiled-parser 2.0.1 and Arcade won't install....

[potent ice]

Development branch is using 2.0.1. pytiled-parser 2.0.1 was released like 2 hours ago

[flat aurora]

It’s all backwards compatible, it should work fine with either

There were no changes to Arcade for updating to pytiled-parser 2.0.1 from 1.5.4

[grim abyss]

Oh god.....I'm in dependency hell now! 😫

[potent ice]

The screenshot shows there are some network issue I think.

The version is there, but pip can't get it?

[grim abyss]

Yeah. No net on pc. I'm downloading libs from pypi and installing manually...

[potent ice]

ahh

[flat aurora]

Ahh, regardless you should be fine with 2.0.1, just ignore the error about it

Next release of Arcade will default to using 2.0.1

[grim abyss]

So "force" it to install?

[flat aurora]

Oh does it actually refuse to install? I assumed it would just complain but continue anyways

If there’s a way to force it that would be fine I’d imagine

[grim abyss]

Yeah it's refusing.

[flat aurora]

Yeah if you can find a way to force it to install with that would be fine. We’re releasing a new version of Arcade probably this week that uses pytiled-parser 2.0.1. I just released pytiled parser earlier tonight and updated Arcade dev branch. Otherwise probably need to get 1.5.4 on it if it won’t install at all

[grim abyss]

I'm trying to resolve dependencies....

There's no way to force it using pip

Maybe I'll try from a tar....

Oh my.....lol

[flat aurora]

What version of Pyglet do you have?

Arcade 2.6.7 needs 2.0.dev12

[grim abyss]

Oh, 1.5.21 is installed...

[flat aurora]

Ahh yeah Arcade needs the new Pyglet 2 stuff, and particularly 2.0.dev12 if you’re on Arcade 2.6.7.

There’s a good bit of cooperation between Pyglet, Arcade, and pytiled-parser development so the releases of Arcade tend to depend on updates within those dependencies frequently

[grim abyss]

I see

I've downloaded the zip from the pyglet github

Got it working finally 👍

hello?

[unique herald]

hey does anyone how to randomise a position of an object?

[safe spade]

Use the library Random

[unique herald]

could you explain

[safe spade]

Random is an build in library who can generate random numbers in your case

[unique herald]

so how would i use it would i just put random x , y?

[safe spade]

No

[unique herald]

oh

[safe spade]

Do you want float number?

Or int

[unique herald]

int is solid number isnt it

[safe spade]

Yes

[unique herald]

ye a int

[safe spade]

Ok

you can use randint

here's an example

[unique herald]

i thoght that only did small numbers?

[safe spade]

no

[unique herald]

oh k

[safe spade]

with randint you put a range

randint(0,10)

for example

[unique herald]

so is that saying 0-10

[safe spade]

choose a random number in the range [0,10]

[unique herald]

5

[safe spade]

yep

[unique herald]

points.goto(random.randint(0,1000)) so like this

[safe spade]

yes

[unique herald]

what about the negative numbers

[safe spade]

(-10,10)

[unique herald]

so in my case -1000,1000

[safe spade]

yes

i need to go

[unique herald]

ok thanks for the help

[grim abyss]

https://pynative.com/python-random-seed/ check this. Use the current time for a seed value to get unique random numbers....

hello everybody...i'm starting to learn python and i saw some "game" for learning...what i found was too much child oriented and i'm searching something interesting to do while i do the google course...
do you have some gamification stuff i can do/replicate?

I suggest you to create a pong game

You can use pygame, but turtle is more user-friendly

Anyone use pyglet? I just saw pyglet is faster than pygame.

i advise you Sololearn

it's also a mobile application

Hi, Im working with pygame rn and I just cant wrap my head around this.
When I fill my background:
self.display.fill((0, 0, 0)) spaceship = self.display.blit(self.surface, (self.spaceship_controller.x, self.spaceship_controller.y)) pygame.display.update(spaceship)
When I dont fill it doesnt cover the sprite.

[frozen knoll]

You need to set the color key on your sprite to make it transparent I think. Pygame doesn't handle transparency without a few extra lines of code.

[sinful helm]

I used a png as img and the surface is transparent. I converted it into alpha and then set all the alpha values to 0 before doing blit onto the surface

and when i dont fill the screen there is no issue

no box around the sprite

[soft igloo]

I think ursina is pretty easy to pick up after pygame. There are many good frameworks out there for Python, not only pygame.

[trim gale]

Or learn c# and use unity :)

[soft igloo]

Unity is proprietary, not everyone likes it.

[trim gale]

Yeah that wasnt rly serious

There are many other engines and framworks, which a way more beginner friendly

[soft igloo]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_game_engines
I saw from this list. For 3D game engines, I think Godot and Panda3D would be better to pick for Python, they are open-source. Ursina is not an engine yet, it's a framework, and beginner friendly for animated graphics in games. Ursina supports some 3d graphics, not well suited for high quality graphics though.

Hello everyone, I'm trying to get Pygame running on my Mac OS Monterey. The library installs fine and ends up where it should be. I've written a number of functioning programs with pygame on my Linux machine and am using them as tests.

I am primarily using a wack-a-mole clone for testing. Here is the error I get:

so I need help with pygame!

[vivid bone]

ive been working on a 2d rpg from scratch with pygame since March

(also hi, new to the server)

title screen of my game's demo. i'm doing the graphics from scratch in aseprite

dragon quest / final fantasy clone, NES-style graphics. play a party of monster people, try to stop evil time traveling humans from destroying the world

game's called Goblin Hero

pygame is obviously not the most efficient platform for a project like this but i've largely done it this way to get better at programming

(and pixel art)

it's about 5000 lines of code right now, put about 300 hours of pixel art into it

that's the battle mode and the overworld

sorry for spam... just a lot to cover at once

https://thedataelemental.wordpress.com/

^ this is my dev blog

thanks for letting me ramble

also, i might do some newbie helping here, that's a thing i've enjoyed doing before in other servers

[thick egret]

As a beginner to python (first language) who's primary motivation to learn is to someday make a tcg mobile game that i've designed (text) years ago... what are the best beginner friendly python game engines to both learn with and to eventually make a proper game with when I have enough experience?

[vivid bone]

if you're more interested in making a game than learning to code just for the sake of it, i would choose a major game engine (unity, unreal, etc) with mobile support, a lot of these engines are gonna probably have built in drag and drop style scripting without much actual code, i think

i would say the more beginner friendly an engine is for making games, the less well it'll work for learning to code? because it does more of the ground work for you

pygame for example does basically nothing and you have to build everything yourself, so it's not super practical, but good for learning code

[frozen knoll]

Seriously nice job with the game! Love all the pixel art. Well done.

[vivid bone]

thank you 😊

[thick egret]

My secondary motivation is to use my primary motivation to learn how to code for future jobs

so I want to learn how to code while i'm at it

One of the engines i'm looking at is cocos2d+ (python version) but i'm not sure how capable it is or how beginner friendly it is.

[vivid bone]

no idea 🤷‍♀️ i've only used pygame, and it's more of a framework than an engine

engines are better for making games, frameworks are better for learning to code

re: gamedev, start small, make Pong or something. make tiny, tiny projects. grow from there

[thick egret]

struggled to get into python in the past so i decided to take a different approach to keep me going

[vivid bone]

oh definitely, having a giant game project kept me coding for 9 months

[frozen knoll]

Might want to look at Arcade as an engine.

[thick egret]

im still in the tutorial phase and i need something to work on to keep me going, that way when i learn new things i can be like "ohh so this can allow me to do that, or i can use this to do this, i wonder how ill apply this to x"

[frozen knoll]

It is a good engine to learn on, and you can work your way up to doing shaders.

[vivid bone]

also is that an armored core avatar

[thick egret]

yup

[vivid bone]

Sick

[thick egret]

I would love to make my own 3d game inspired by armored core someday, but the only games i've planned out in word documents and spreadsheets can be made with a 2d engine and would likely be much easier to make gameplay-wise.

If I can keep with python for a few years i'd love to make my card game on mobile

[vivid bone]

Yeah 2d easier

I’ve had that same thought before lmao, making a low poly indie armored core style game

Ps2 style

[thick egret]

great gameplay, and i love building mech's with all of the different parts to make your own perfect AC.

all of the mech games these days use pre-made mech's or the parts are mostly cosmetic or limited

[vivid bone]

I thought the twist could be mgs peace walker style base management, r&d and stuff

Running a mercenary unit

Arena is fighting to the top of the merc unit

Fans haven’t had a new ac in forever, there’s a market

[thick egret]

imagine an armored core mmo on PC, all of the best parts about the game (building/gameplay), mercenary missions, other players, company wars, large battlefields

[vivid bone]

You’ll never catch me trying to make an mmo unless I’m getting a steady paycheck for it

Too huge of a project

hey guys, can somone help me understand why the last row isnt being drawn?

MAP = [
    [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,],
    [1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,],
    [1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,],
    [1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,],
    [1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,],
    [1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,],
    [1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,],
    [1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,],
    [1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,],
    [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,],
]

def drawMap():
    bricks = []
    brick_width = 128
    brick_height = 96
    for y in range(len(MAP)):
        for x in range(len(MAP[y])):
            if MAP[x][y] == 1:
                x_pos = x * brick_width
                y_pos = y * brick_height
                bricks.append(pygame.Rect(x_pos, y_pos, brick_width, brick_height))
    for objs in bricks:
        pygame.draw.rect(screen, GREEN, objs)

im actually brain dead, i forgot the 1's in the left side

glad you figured it out

[raw shadow]

xD

lowkey tho, those are some bulky ass squares

how could i slim them down

also, quick question, how could i give those squares a outline, does anyone know? im using pygame

[abstract pike]

make them diet? often times I find the most helpful problem is the one that you solve the moment you ask for help

[raw shadow]

facts

i think the key is voicing the issue so that you can manifest them and understand them properly

[abstract pike]

true. because as we all know programming/coding isn't a lot of typing out code. it's solving stupid "gosh darn it I knew that" syntax errors

Hello everyone

Have anybody here created chess before?

I would like to ask some questions

[vivid bone]

Should be a matter of tweaking the numbers

[vivid bone]

Add a other rect slightly bigger than the one you want to outline?

[solemn shoal]

Seriously it’s like let the goddamn script run 🤦‍♂️

[vivid bone]

I would make checkers before you make chess if you haven’t

[glass wasp]

Thanks for your advice

But I'm already in progress XD

But i have some doubts

Like you have a board and you need to give coordinate to it

I dunno what's the better approach

Either count a1=0, b1=1, c1=2....

Or a1=0, a2=1, a3=2...

[vivid bone]

Hm

So why not both

This kind of thing, i would represent as a list of lists

[glass wasp]

Like 2d array?

[vivid bone]

Yeah

One master list containing a list of all columns or rows

The intuitive thing to me would be to do it in a way that you can access squares with the equivalent of (x,y)

Or i guess whatever chess uses normally

[glass wasp]

Let me try that

I actually code it in C, so everything is a mess there 😂

Coming from Python, everything is hard over there

[vivid bone]

For sure

That’s just my instinct for grid representation, a 2d array

I’ve done menus like that

Hi Guys, im looking for a little help if anyone is free. Ive got the basic mechanics of a "duck shooter" game using pygame but i want to add a few more UI elements. The Ui elements arent the problem themselves rather how i want them to work with the mouse pointer.

It would be awesome if someone could help me out here. Just ping me on my window if you've got time 🙂

All help is appreciated,
Thanks guys

[raw shadow]

give more info

ill respond

[raw shadow]

broski

[tawny smelt]

Hey @raw shadow do you wanna get on a call? I think i can explain better that way

[raw shadow]

nah

nothing beyond this server

[tawny smelt]

Ok, gimme some time and ill show you exactly what i wanna d

Do*

[tawny smelt]

@raw shadow this is what ive got right now.

A background
Land and water
ducks
A crosshair

Ive already implemented the shooting mechanism and i works fine. What i want is a rifle (ive got the png image) on the bottom, around where the water is and i want the rifle to "tilt" in the direction of the crosshair

heres the rifle

[raw shadow]

okay, so this is what your gonna want to do.

give me a sec i was just working with this mechanic

[tawny smelt]

life saver!

[raw shadow]

okay, so i didnt do this by mouse

so your gonna have to work out some sort of if mouse is going left or if mouse is going up down left right sorta sitch

but basically you have pa, px, py, pdx and pdy

so pa is the player angle

px and py are player x and y
