@next estuary you gained my respect

[next estuary]

👀 bruh this is my second game ever, beginners luck haha, I usually write guis

The other one I didn't even finish

The shader made by Tusnad does a lot of heavy lifting making it look pretty

But I appreciate the complements :)

[grand whale]

Hmm there are many options

[grand whale]

Lol

Do you used heightmap for map?

Water shader is great

Cool

Nice sprite anims

[next estuary]

I generate the terrain heightmap / texture on each load using opensimplex noise with some math that prevents the terrain from spawning on top of the island

[grand whale]

thanks

[grand whale]

ok

[pallid patio]

hello, more of a general python question I imagine, but what is generally a good practice for where I should be defining my classes?

for example I have a module named Entity.py, that contains my object class and related functions:

import pygame as pg
import traceback

from DrawScreen import screen,display

class object:
    def __init__(self, img, x, y, scale_x=None, scale_y=None):
        self.img = pg.image.load(img).convert_alpha()

        try:
            self.img = pg.transform.scale(self.img, (scale_x, scale_y))
        except TypeError:
            print('[WARNING] Scale not given or Invalid, ignoring...')
            print(traceback.format_exc())

        self.x = x
        self.y = y
        self.cx = 0
        self.cy = 0

    def set_changeX(self, x):
        self.cx = x

    def set_changeY(self, y):
        self.cy = y

    def apply_changeX(self):
        self.x += self.cx

    def apply_changeY(self):
        self.y += self.cy

    def set_changeXY(self, x, y):
        '''Sets change values for both X and Y coordinates.'''
        self.cx = x
        self.cy = y

    def apply_changeXY(self):
        '''Applies change values for both X and Y coordinates.'''
        self.x += self.cx
        self.y += self.cy

    def blit_obj(self):
        '''Blits object to display.'''
        display.blit(self.img, (self.x, self.y))

    def X(self):
        return self.x

    def Y(self):
        return self.y

    def rect(self):
        '''Retrieve rectangle of object.'''
        return self.img.get_rect()

def init_player():

    pname = object('Window/Pong.png', screen.w/2, screen.h/2, scale_x=100, scale_y=100)
    pname.set_changeXY(.01, -.01)
    #pname_movements(pname)
    return pname 

player1 = init_player()

currently I setup player1 in this same module, as you can see at the bottom

then when I need to manipulate player1, for example for keyboard inputs:

import pygame as pg

from Entity import player1

def kb_input(running):
    for event in pg.event.get():
            keys = pg.key.get_pressed()
            if event.type == pg.QUIT:
                running = False
            if keys[pg.K_LEFT] or keys[pg.K_a]:
                player1.set_changeX(-.2)
            if keys[pg.K_RIGHT] or keys[pg.K_d]:
                player1.set_changeX(.2)
        

should I instead have player1 and other class variables in a seperate module?

[kind goblet]

v.coool

[fallow glade]

This is fine

Just some suggestions, keep module names lowercase, and use some other name than object as that is an inbuilt name

[pallid patio]

I see, thanks for the advice, and the suggestions

[acoustic arch]

I want to convert my game to exe using pyinstaller, but it still gives me this error, i have no idea how to fix it

[hidden silo]

Hi, is there any advantage of use Python to game dev? Unity with visual scripting is not better?

[grand whale]

1 question answer its easy to make things it has many adbantge you can go to pythons docs to see

[grand whale]

2 question it has less accesbilty ig but then also u can make good games by it

https://itch.io/jam/asset-jam-2022

a game jam where you have to make a game by pre made assets

[potent ice]

It's a great way to learn more about python programming.

[heavy minnow]

hiya! i need some assistance with the pygame_gui module, specifically with the theme files and how to reference them while creating my buttons.

in the official documentation, the author says, you need to mention the object ID with class ID. i don't really understand how this works.

this is the link for the documentation -
https://pygame-gui.readthedocs.io/en/latest/theme_guide.html#object-ids-in-depth

Ursina is awesome 🙂

[turbid quiver]

hey guys

i just made my first python text-based rpg turn based game

We both have HP And Mana

and we could damage our mana and hp, and our skills consume mana as well

[dawn quiver]

nice

[grand whale]

First step of your big game dev journey good luck!

[turbid quiver]

Thank you so much man

[grand whale]

Np

[turbid quiver]

My first year in programming

It isnt required but i just did it for fun

[grand whale]

Cool

[warm zephyr]

hey guys how do you make simple movement actually not glitch? Ive tried moving my cube with

clock.tick(60)
keys = pygame.key.get_pressed()
for event in pygame.event.get():
  if keys[pygame.K_a]:
    x -= 3

but it sometimes goes at a normal speed and then speeds up a ton without a reason

[safe spade]

Add a time delta (it’s the time between two frame) and multiply it to your mouvement

Just, anybody know how to generate a grid of square fastly using pyopengl

[dawn quiver]

How would i go about making a light trail(light saber effect) with a shader?

[round obsidian]

New build o' my game
https://xtaloid.itch.io/xtaloid

[round obsidian]

Also made this one as a kind of one-night game jam experience https://xtaloid.itch.io/blaster

[strong furnace]

how can i make it be a file?

[round obsidian]

I created my own utility to do this, but PyInstaller also works

[strong furnace]

python can write on unity:V?

[round obsidian]

what?

[strong furnace]

or c#?

[round obsidian]

No, Python is Python, it's not C#

[strong furnace]

Python can write on Unity:V?

nice

[round obsidian]

I don't know what you're asking, so I'm going to assume the answer is "No"

[strong furnace]

i mean is do we can write python code on Unity?

[round obsidian]

I don't believe so.

At any rate I know nothing about Unity, as I have never used it

[strong furnace]

hmmm:v

[next estuary]

Ursina is good if you want a 3D python library

[snow hill]

Who says you need Unity to get modern standards 3D ? Python FTW 🥳

i can help

without add dt

[grand whale]

good problay used baked lighthing system well i will try it

and raytracing

[sharp ruin]

pygame.init()

# générer la fenetre du jeu
pygame.display.set_caption("Shooter - Samuel Goujon")
pygame.display.set_mode((1080, 720))

running = True

# boucle pour garder la fenetre
while running:

    # si le joueur ferme la fenetre
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.quit():
            running = False
            pygame.quit()```

hey i just have a quit problem

when i run this code i get an error

'video system not initialized'

[gentle falcon]

Try changing if event.type == pygame.quit() to if event.type == pygame.QUIT

[sharp ruin]

solves the problem

thanks

^^

idk why i got this error tho

[gentle falcon]

Yeah me neither, LMAO

[bold pewter]

Heyy. Is there any reason why calling from object is not blitting on to my screen but directly it works ? Like when I'm calling it from Map object it dont work, but when i'm calling it from main it just work; https://paste.pythondiscord.com/awoqowomoz.rb - Main https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ibofexijon.rb -Map

[dawn quiver]

is there any way i can add animated gifs in pygame?

[grand whale]

Do you init the pygame

[grand whale]

Hmm no you cant

[safe spade]

You register the frames of the gif and animate them in pygame

[grand whale]

yeah

thats correct

https://youtu.be/ehzagXropQs

[dawn quiver]

movement binds?

[grand whale]

make the gif

frame by frame

[dawn quiver]

hmm i'll try that thank you :D

[gusty wigeon]

hey all. Been looking trying to figure this out for a while.

What's the best approach/library to watch a section of the screen for changes and get a notification whenever there is a change. It can be pixels or text...but ideally pixels.

[next estuary]

Playing six different pokemon versions at once using PyBoy/Ursina

[next estuary]

Added an input display so it makes more sense

[grand whale]

?

[dawn quiver]

its bejeweled clone. Its my progress. The green squares highlight possible swaps

[grand whale]

Ok

[dawn quiver]

i guess you dont know bejeweled

[grand whale]

Hmm ik

I have maked one in cpp

well i was thinking

[dawn quiver]

im making mine in c and sdl2

[grand whale]

Oh

but its a python server

[dawn quiver]

i know

[grand whale]

Means i can show my cpp project?

[dawn quiver]

i dont mind

[grand whale]

ok

[dawn quiver]

can i see your bejeweled game?

[grand whale]

Yeah sure

Wait lemme record

sorry for late reaponse

@dawn quiver

well art was taken by opengameart assets

[dawn quiver]

cool does mine look good?

[grand whale]

yeah

your art is great!

[dawn quiver]

im actually making a bejeweled clone with rpg mechanics

[grand whale]

oh

thats cool!

[dawn quiver]

hmm did you make an algorithm for detecting when there is no possible moves left?

[grand whale]

well its bit complicated

https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/14932/logic-behind-a-bejeweled-like-game/14933

you can see this post

[dawn quiver]

oh ill look into it. Ive come up with my own algorithm for it

[grand whale]

if (grid[i][j].kind==grid[i+1][j].kind)
if (grid[i][j].kind==grid[i-1][j].kind)
for(int n=-1;n<=1;n++) grid[i+n][j].match++;

a sample code of mine bejeweld

@dawn quiver

are you just cpp gamedev?

[dawn quiver]

i have done tetris in lua this is my first C game project

[grand whale]

oh

well my brother code in lua

lua is very similr to python but small

and no list

just tables!

LOL

[dawn quiver]

what is this code doing? removing matches in a board or finding possible swaps?

[grand whale]

both

[dawn quiver]

this is testing if its a streak of three

your checking before the current index and after it

i imagine there is more though

ill show you my code when i clean it up and comment it

[grand whale]

no its not three streak

ok

[dawn quiver]

if (grid[i][j].kind==grid[i+1][j].kind)
    if (grid[i][j].kind==grid[i-1][j].kind)
      // code

this says if the kind behind me is the same as me and the kind in front of me is the same as me run this code

oh wait

but this is for vertical

[grand whale]

yeah

    if (grid[i][j].kind==grid[i][j-1].kind)
     for(int n=-1;n<=1;n++) grid[i][j+n].match++;```

[dawn quiver]

i usually have grid[j][i] becuase i corresponds to columns for me since it comes first

[grand whale]

ok

[dawn quiver]

for(int n=-1;n<=1;n++) grid[i][j+n].match++;

whats this line doing? marking the matches?

i think its marking the matches for removal.

[grand whale]

yeah

[dawn quiver]

hmm does your code allow for streaks of four or greater?

[grand whale]

greater

lemme show you

[eternal field]

need help

[dawn quiver]

this is cool id really like to share code with you sometime if you're ok with that.

[grand whale]

ok

[grand whale]

ig problem is with the list slicing

[dawn quiver]

you cant index an list with a float value

snake[-1.] right?

[grand whale]

yeah

[dawn quiver]

list indices only take integers thats a floating point or decimal number that you have. change it to -1

[grand whale]

snake[-1]

[eternal field]

its giving me problem now on if head==food

[grand whale]

@dawn quiver

do you do python gamdev?

[dawn quiver]

id be willing to do it for small games.

[grand whale]

well i am doing gamdev in python

thinking to make a studio

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

my current game

[eternal field]

how do i fix this one

[dawn quiver]

if head == food:

[grand whale]

LOL

[grand whale]

bro you watching an tutorial?

[eternal field]

no

[grand whale]

ok

[eternal field]

now i got tons of warnings

[dawn quiver]

what do they say?

[dawn quiver]

just whitespace bullcrap i think you should be fine

maybe try fixing them though as an exercise?

[grand whale]

well just backspace the lines that are not written

[eternal field]

i did

now this comes

[grand whale]

dont put empty lines

[grand whale]

var varible is not used

thats why

[eternal field]

what do i use

[grand whale]

omg

you just have not use var variable dont worry

will you use var?

[dawn quiver]

wait but they also have another error

[grand whale]

yeah

cannot find reference

[dawn quiver]

whats that mean?

[grand whale]

hmm its cant find reference

because

[dawn quiver]

are they trying to index a None value?

[grand whale]

snake = [vector(10,0)]

[eternal field]

statement has no effect

[dawn quiver]

oh boy

[grand whale]

omg

really

[eternal field]

?

[grand whale]

var = snake.append[-1]

first

its wrong

var = snake.append(-1)

do like this

and secong it will give you none

and third

you dont have

to take out var

[dawn quiver]

oh now i see

[grand whale]

its just not being used

you surely maked all things by your own

@eternal field

in that code?

[dawn quiver]

what are you trying to achieve with the line var = snake.append[-1]?

[eternal field]

yes

[dawn quiver]

gm

[grand whale]

i think snake last

[grand whale]

gm

[dawn quiver]

?

[grand whale]

well here is 2:57 pm

[eternal field]

var value not used

[dawn quiver]

but why append on to snake and why the value -1?

[grand whale]

idk

if she is trying to take snake last

she have to use

snake[-1]

[dawn quiver]

if you cant tell me what your trying to do in general or specifically then i cant help

[grand whale]

well idk why she is appending -1 LOL

[eternal field]

in general im trying to do similar to snake game

witch right now should be from squares

[grand whale]

https://youtu.be/BKwnOOs0ml8

you are watching this tutorial

[eternal field]

no

im tryna by myself

that is why im here because of so much errors

[grand whale]

bro first

show your all code

then we can help you

take this code and try

[dawn quiver]

Im not sure id use this freegames module. Id try using something like pygame instead. There is a discord server for it. People there can help you.

[grand whale]

hmm free games is just a libray for playing games in python well it is used to make games also ig

well pygame best!

and sdl best!

[eternal field]

got this now

[grand whale]

bro its just a warning

[dawn quiver]

thats fine

[grand whale]

not a errror

ok

[dawn quiver]

its just a warning about coding style and not something to worry about

[eternal field]

now game does not start

[grand whale]

because

seruisly

you dont know to assign a variable?

no

sorry

[eternal field]

im not that good at coding i go and learn every day

so im trying chill

[grand whale]

ok

[dawn quiver]

i think itd be best to start off with something simple. Id suggest making hangman(a word guessing game) in python and no other modules. Then maybe try doing stuff in pygame.

https://inventwithpython.com/blog/2012/02/20/i-need-practice-programming-49-ideas-for-game-clones-to-code/

[grand whale]

yeah

sorry i am being toxic

[eternal field]

it does not let me to run it

[dawn quiver]

i want to make tutorials for python and game making

[grand whale]

oh

[dawn quiver]

maybe take a look at some other games to make or follow a tutorial

[grand whale]

do you maked an channel?

[eternal field]

not sure what to do?

[grand whale]

because

move is a function

[dawn quiver]

if you have a specific question about python or pygame i can help but if you dont know what you want then i cant help

[grand whale]

you dont called it

just maked a function

you have to call it

like

move()

[dawn quiver]

its running but the code doesnt do anything. might be becuase you havent called any functions

[grand whale]

yeah

[dawn quiver]

x = 0
def move(): # defines a function
  x += 1

move() # calls the function. the value of x is increased to 1

[grand whale]

hideturtle()

onkey(lambda: change(-10, 0), 'Left')
onkey(lambda: change(0, 10), 'Up')

do this outside the function

take this code

[eternal field]

iw works

but when i ate an apple

than from nowhere one spawns on top of me and kills me

[grand whale]

show the result

[eternal field]

i have to screenshare

[grand whale]

ok where?

[eternal field]

vc 0

cannot share

maybe dms ?

[dawn quiver]

can me you and divi do a group dm?

[grand whale]

done

[dawn quiver]

like itd be cool if we could be friends on discord if you want

so we can group dm and talk about python and game dev

[grand whale]

hmm yeah

[eternal field]

yes

[chrome thorn]

guys I'm planning to do a ML project, where AI plays pong.

and I have 0 idea where to start, should I first make the game using pygame or smth

is that even possible

[dawn thorn]

why is it that i can load every image/ graphic except my player image

pg.init()
screen = pg.display.set_mode((800,400))
pg.display.set_caption('coole game')

snail_surface = pg.image.load('pygame/graphics/snail1.png').convert_alpha()
snail_x_pos = 600
player_surface = pg.image.load('pygame/graphics/player_walk_1.png').convert_alpha #this is the graphics load of the player

[dawn quiver]

have you made pong before?

[chrome thorn]

nope

[dawn quiver]

id start there. Use pygame

[chrome thorn]

I'm just wondering if it's possible to integrate machine learning into game created using pygame

[dawn quiver]

sure thats possible

[chrome thorn]

aight, that's all I needed to hear

[dawn quiver]

shouldnt matter what graphics module you use

[dawn quiver]

id def get just pong working first before you get into ai. once you having something working then you can mess with ai

[chrome thorn]

yea that's the plan, I'll focus on making the game first

[eternal field]

works fine

[dawn quiver]

i see what your error is. this type of error is very similar to forgetting to put a colon after a conditionl/loop

[dawn quiver]

cool.

[eternal field]

should i add game menu ?

[dawn quiver]

go ahead.

[eternal field]

imma need helop

[dawn quiver]

id say first try getting a button to work

make a button print out the text hello in the command line when its clicked

[dawn thorn]

hmmm

i see

thx

[dawn quiver]

did you figure it out?

[dawn thorn]

but why does it work with all the other graphics

[dawn quiver]

you are assiging player_surface to a function. instead you want to assign it to the result of calling that function. Your missing parenthesis ()

[dawn thorn]

ah

ok

thx

[humble marsh]

hi im very new to coding but im creating a state machine for my game, ive created a base class named basestate, this is where the different states will inherit from i think. whenever i try to import this class into a different file for example menu.py it shows this error: ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

ive tried so many different things its said online and then when i dont get that error message when i run the main file i get this error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'states.base'

[dawn quiver]

what is the name of the python file you are trying to import?

[humble marsh]

the name is base.py

[dawn quiver]

then you must import base

if the files are within the same directory

[humble marsh]

oringinally i had used :
from states.base import BaseState

then i tried from .base import BaseSate and from base import BaseState but non have been working

[dawn quiver]

are the files located within the same directory

the file that you are importing and the file you are importing into

[dawn quiver]

what does your file setup look like?

https://realpython.com/absolute-vs-relative-python-imports/

maybe this will help

[dawn quiver]

what is the file your importing into and what file are you trying to import

[humble marsh]

sorry if this isnt the correct way to show it but like this :

mainStates.py
game.py

states folder -
Base.py
fighter.py
GameOver.py
Gameplay.py
login.py
menu.py
splash.py

[dawn quiver]

i know what the file strucutre looks like i need to know where you are imprting from and what are you importing. Are you trying to import Base.py from game.py?

game.py

import base # not working

correct?

sorry game.py

if so youd write something like from states import Base

or from states.Base import basestate

[humble marsh]

i want to import the class Basestate from base.py into menu, splash, login, gameover and gameplay

does that make sense ?

[grand whale]

bro

[humble marsh]

when i put this and run it, it shows ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'states'

[grand whale]

then dont put states.Base

just bse

[humble marsh]

but what do i put instead

[grand whale]

*Baase

*Base

[dawn quiver]

try import Base then i guess

[grand whale]

these files is in under states folder

menu, splash, login, gameover and gameplay

so no need to put states.Base

[dawn quiver]

but im not sure where he is importing from

[humble marsh]

okay so i put this into menu: from Base import BaseState
then when i run main this shows: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Base'

[grand whale]

he want to import at these files

menu, splash, login, gameover and gameplay

[grand whale]

hmm how

[dawn quiver]

what file did you put this code in?

[humble marsh]

menu.py

[dawn quiver]

try just import Base

[grand whale]

yeah

[humble marsh]

this message shows when i run menu.py after putting this in: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'base'

[grand whale]

oh

what

[dawn quiver]

interesting becuase thats lowercase but i told you to import Base

maybe you are forgetting a line somewhere

[humble marsh]

oh sorry ill try upper case

[grand whale]

what

i was thinking that was a typo

LOL

[humble marsh]

class Menu(BaseState):
NameError: name 'BaseState' is not defined

this shows when i run menu

[dawn quiver]

show your code where you define base state

[grand whale]

because

[dawn quiver]

where you made that class

[humble marsh]

import pygame

class BaseState():
def init(self):
self.done = False
self.quit = False
self.next_state = None
self.screen_rect = pygame.display.get_surface().get_rect()
self.persist = {}
self.font = pygame.font.Font(None, 24)

def startup(self, persistent):
    self.persist = persistent

def get_event(self, event):
    pass

def update(self, dt):
    pass

def draw(self, surface):
    pass

[grand whale]

from Base import BaseState

try this

[dawn quiver]

^^^

[humble marsh]

this is base.py

[grand whale]

or from Base import *

[humble marsh]

this works when i run menu, but when i run main it shows this error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Base'

[grand whale]

because main is outside of the states folder

[dawn quiver]

ah are you importing Base from main?

[humble marsh]

import sys
import pygame
from states.menu import Menu
from states.gameplay import Gameplay
from states.splash import Splash
from game import Game

pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((1920, 1080))#set the window size
states = {
"MENU": Menu(),
"SPLASH": Splash(),
"GAMEPLAY": Gameplay(),
}

game = Game(screen, states, "SPLASH")
game.run()

pygame.quit()
sys.exit()

this is main.py

[dawn quiver]

wait but i dont see BaseState being used

[grand whale]

class Menu(BaseState)

[grand whale]

this

[dawn quiver]

yes but we took care of that error

[grand whale]

hmm you have to do some temporary fix

[humble marsh]

yeah i might just delete a few things and retry it in a different approach maybe

but tysm for the help appreaciate it

[grand whale]

np

[dawn quiver]

So you see python is case sensitive. Base is different from base and in order to use a class defined in a module you must either do

import Base
class Menu(Base.BaseState):

or

from Base import BaseState
class Menu(BaseState):

same for functions and variables in the module

sorry thats better

wish this channel was this active all the time

and no im not sleeping sorry lol

i should get to bed

[humble marsh]

The 2nd one worked when i ran menu, but showed the no module named base error when i ran main after that

yeah i was afriad no one would reply lol

what time is it for u

[dawn quiver]

5 am

[grand whale]

6:13 pm

[humble marsh]

well then u definatly wont be dreaming tn

hialrous joke to do w ur bio

[dawn quiver]

yeah

im not sure why that error happens

[humble marsh]

honestly tho its fine dw, it probably got to do with my main file, i get very confused easily so i probably messed something up in there

get some sleep my guy

[grand whale]

You playing valo

@humble marsh

[pine plinth]

define name CreditsMenu

[round obsidian]

Fun thing I threw together with Cython: C-accelerated particle effects

Normally this would be done with shaders, I know, but doing it in Cython was fun too.

[pine plinth]

implement GoL with shaders

[round obsidian]

Oh, I've seen it done, it's wicked fast

what I'd really like to see someone do is implement GoL hashlife algo in shaders

that would be insane

[potent ice]

I have multiple versions of GoL with shaders. Kivy, moderngl arcade etc if you are looking for that

Seeing what you can do with cython is also fun.

[potent ice]

What does it do during draw and move time?

[hybrid burrow]

Have you ever tried to blit an image in pygame on android?

[round obsidian]

Move time is the total time it takes to animate every particle. Draw time is the total time taken by the graphics driver to draw

[potent ice]

Ok, so write up som buffer and draw?

[round obsidian]

there's an existing buffer, what it does is iterate through it and apply movements as described in another buffer

def move(vertices, vectors: arr.array, size: cython.int):

    if cython.compiled:
        addr: cython.size_t = ctypes.addressof(vertices)
        verts: cython.p_float = cython.cast(cython.p_float, addr)
        vecs: cython.p_float = vectors.data.as_floats
    else:
        vecs = vectors
        verts = vertices

    l: cython.size_t = len(vertices)
    n: cython.size_t
    v: cython.size_t = 0

    x: cython.float
    y: cython.float
    x1: cython.float
    y1: cython.float
    v0: cython.float
    v1: cython.float

    with cython.nogil:
        for n in range(0, l, 8):
            v0 = vecs[v]
            v1 = vecs[v + 1]

            x = (verts[n] + v0) % 960.0
            y = (verts[n + 1] + v1) % 540.0

            x1 = x + size
            y1 = y + size

            verts[n] = x
            verts[n + 1] = y
            verts[n + 2] = x1
            verts[n + 3] = y
            verts[n + 4] = x1
            verts[n + 5] = y1
            verts[n + 6] = x
            verts[n + 7] = y1

            v += 2

[potent ice]

Makes sense. Pretty much the shader way :)

[round obsidian]

vertices is a ctypes array ... actually, hold on

probably more efficient to just do this

if cython.compiled:
        _verts: cython.float[::1] = vertices
        verts: cython.p_float = cython.cast(cython.p_float, cython.address(_verts[0]))

or just

verts: cython.float[::1] = vertices

[round obsidian]

I was building both ways to see which generates the most efficient code

[astral heart]

Anyone know what dumptext.com is?

Or was?

[round obsidian]

no. What does this have to do with Python game development?

[warped parrot]

Yes

[astral heart]

Can you share with me what that was for? I believe it was for dumping code correct?

[modest siren]

any way to make 3d games with pygame? (new to pygame)

[sharp lantern]

Can anybody say me how did you learn game development though python?

[dawn quiver]

Can we use python for unreal?

And i want to know what is chaos physics? Is it a different tool ?

[karmic garnet]

hi

[dawn quiver]

Only with python :p

[finite rivet]

use opengl for 3d in python

for pygame, you would have to define 3d vertices , and then connect lines, all by your own logic. involves knowledge of 3d matrices for rotation, etc, which even i dont know of 😂

[sharp lantern]

Thankyou

[finite rivet]

start by ig making a 2d square move left right, up and down(not filled) and then divide the x and y coordinates by another factor which is z

for each point

[sharp lantern]

I will try it

[finite rivet]

so x/z, and y/z

[sharp lantern]

Thankyou

[finite rivet]

but i suggest you look up opengl on YouTube, much better

and easier

[sharp lantern]

I was also thinking to refer youtube

Thankyou

Gonna be on the Global Game Jam this weekend, and want to take the opportunity to learn Python and use it to develop a video game. What route(s) can you show me to have fun in the process, and learn Python and gamedev with it?

[halcyon heart]

People generally use Pygame or Arcade. There are lots of tutorials on the web or youtube, especially for Pygame. The Arcade website has great documentation and examples and was basically created as a teaching tool for beginning Python developers.

[dawn quiver]

Thanks @small swan ,but I don't know c++
Is there anything I can do in the game Dev field with Python/JS

[small swan]

For sure, look up some resources on technical-artist work. Lots of 3D programs can be scripted for using python. Which is used to make tools and stuff

im wondering if i should swithc to python and pygame.

Id be able to share my code with python beginners

nah ill just make a small demo

[dawn quiver]

Looks like you put in a good amount of effort in this. Is the code open source?

Is anyone there?

[dusty forge]

ooh. The text isn't in line with the TV. Small issue, and idk how you're gonna fix it.

[dawn quiver]

lol

[dusty forge]

Pygame can't do 3d sadly

[normal silo]

You can render to a surface and perspective warp it, like how photoshop let's you perspective warp images.

[dusty forge]

hey its the guy from ursina engine

[dusty forge]

hmmm

[lyric niche]

what would you recommend for gamedev?

[rain dome]

Is Ursina good?

[lean cosmos]

@dusty forge yea that was a problem from the beginning but I will do something what squiggle said wrapping it around a surface that or I will build a 3d wrapper in pygsme

@dawn quiver yea but it pretty fun to work on

[next estuary]

It's pretty decent

[rain dome]

Bet. How do i import characters?

[grim niche]

how can I upload a pure text based game online

i wanna let my friends play it

[normal silo]

Made in Python?

[grim niche]

yes

[normal silo]

There are a couple of options. Do you want them to be able to just download it and play it or do you want them to play it in the webrowser?

[grim niche]

on the web

it will be weird to play on the phone

[normal silo]

That will have some cost and you need to have some web development knowledge. Or you have to self host, in which case you need to run it on your PC or other device that is always running (i'm assuming only your friends will be playing it, in which case it's not such a big deal in terms of security).

(Also still needs web development knowledge)

[grim niche]

yea only my friends will be playing it

I made it in replit

[normal silo]

You can share replits but that's probably not what you want right?

[grim niche]

no, i dont want to have them go to replit and make accounts and stuff

[normal silo]

Yeah then you will have to make a little website (single page that runs the game) and host it either on your own PC or rent a server.

[grim niche]

I have to rent a server?

[normal silo]

Some computer somewhere hooked up to the internet needs to serve the website.

[grim niche]

how would I make a website for it

do I just make a website code, and then in another file put my code in?

[normal silo]

#web-development It will probably involve Pyodide or Brython (these two things let Python run in the browser / site).

Yes, you make a website. And then host it (run it on a computer hooked up to the internet (either your own, or renting someone else's which most websites do)).

The program that serves the website pages can also be written in Python so you can ask in #web-development how to make a simple single page website with a Pyodide application running.

Getting Python running in the browser is not a beginner thing. So if it looks complicated, that's because it is.

I think replit can also host your site.

[civic fox]

I'm working on a game where I've been using continuous, m x n 2D tile maps for my game so far, but I'd like to add some maps that are not rectangular, like a long, jagged hallway. Anyone have advice or know of resources on data structures and file formats for storing the map?

[proper peak]

Seems to me that the most obvious way would be a rectangular 2d map but with a tile type that means "missing" (as in, totally unreachable and not really even part of the map)

if the map is very sparse (only a small part of area is real tiles), you could instead use a dictionary mapping tile location to the tile, with missing tiles not present in the dict.

[full heath]

check the position of the player + the size of the attack hitbox

dont be afraid to send a friend request. Ill see it in the morning and ill be ready to talk and work on stuff with you.

[crisp junco]

That is cool! Did you make it in ursina or unity/unreal?

oh it's ursina

the red dot

mhm

nice

[radiant sage]

if you guys wanted to compile your code into a game how would you go about doing it?

yk how windows always throws a hissy fit and raises security issues when you run a compiled exe

[olive parcel]

You have to use code signing to get around that

[radiant sage]

that costs though right?

[olive parcel]

Yup

[round obsidian]

My solution was to write a script that bundles my program with a copy of the existing Python .exe

https://github.com/syegulalp/pypacker

[radiant sage]

how does that work?

is this your project?

(Pygame) I'm trying to add some padding to a text rectangle but it doesn't seem to work. I'm using the draw function twice here, once to draw a pink rectange and another time to draw a blue rectangle with a width of 10, which should grow outside the original boundary but doesn't seem to, since we can't see the blue rectangle.
A gist with my code, in case it's useful https://gist.github.com/Mt-Elvy/07b95ec78c6a579a584eb250ce5cd52f

I'm making a fullscreen game using Python, Pygame for Windows. With some screens the settings for the screen are automatically set to zoom 125% which makes it look different for the people with 125% zoom than people with 100% zoom. How can I fix this? How can I make Pygame fullscreen window responsible? Or how can I change the screen settings using Python? Please ping me.

[sinful coral]

Yee... Sure

Uee

[pearl panther]

    font = pygame.font.SysFont("Constantia", 30);
    img = font.render("Wave: " + str(self.wave), True, (255, 255, 255));
    self.screen.blit(img, (0, 50));

This text won't show up on screen and i'm not sure why

[dawn quiver]

try pygame.rect.draw(screen, "Blue", score_rect, width=10)

[dawn quiver]

is font None?

[pearl panther]

no: <pygame.font.Font object at 0x000001D224948840>

[dawn quiver]

import pygame
from pygame.locals import *

window = pygame.display.set_mode((640, 480))

blue_rect = Rect(22, 20, 80, 20)
red_rect = Rect(20, 20, 80, 20)
state = 1
while state:
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == QUIT:
            state = 0
    pygame.draw.rect(window, "Blue", blue_rect, width=50)
    pygame.draw.rect(window, "Red", red_rect, width=1)
    pygame.display.update()

pygame.quit()

this gave me an insightful look at the problem. The docs may be wrong or confusing.

this should render a filled in blue rect behind a red outline rect

in particular i dont believe this note

Note

When using width values > 1, the edge lines will grow outside the original boundary of the rect. For more details on how the thickness for edge lines grow, refer to the width notes of the pygame.draw.line()draw a straight line function. 

i tested with values above 1 and the all seem to fill the same area

just different amounts of inner thickness

both rects fill the same space. the red rect just has a small border on the inside of the defined rect

so you will probably have to define a bigger rect

the width property behaves unexpectedly

[finite solar]

Not a game but made with Pyglet : https://nuelito.itch.io/music-player

Hey all I have been working on a very basic raycaster in pygame. Here it is as it stands. I would like to add some shading to the walls like in the second picture to make the 3d effect look a little better but I'm not really sure how I would go about finding that spot mathematically. Any ideas on this?

[sinful lodge]

hello lyfe, didn't expect to see you here

[next estuary]

I've been here for months haha

Actually almost 2 years

[dawn quiver]

This might sound usual but, What's the recommended game engine for Python?

[round obsidian]

recommended in what sense? Each of them have strengths

[dawn quiver]

Like to make a 2 dimensional games

[sinful lodge]

oh lol, i got banned from here, my unban appeal just got accepted

if you look at my message history i was trolling around so...

[sinful lodge]

pygame is the most popular choice. i've heard of raylib too.

[round obsidian]

See also Arcade

[sinful lodge]

that's less popular

would be easier to get support with pygame imo

[sinful lodge]

anyway i got some map selection done

[sinful lodge]

yup ursina

[zealous void]

i need help guys

[blissful oasis]

I'm stumped at this point

I have tried everything but when I run the code it continues to run the jump trigger even if the povname is not set to the variables listed

Usually with RenPy, it will just carry on with the script even without an else but it does what I just said and even if I add a else pass it does the same

[frank field]

When checking if something is equal to one thing or another, you might think that this is possible:

if favorite_fruit == 'grapefruit' or 'lemon':
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

While this makes sense in English, it may not behave the way you would expect. In Python, you should have complete instructions on both sides of the logical operator.

So, if you want to check if something is equal to one thing or another, there are two common ways:

# Like this...
if favorite_fruit == 'grapefruit' or favorite_fruit == 'lemon':
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

# ...or like this.
if favorite_fruit in ('grapefruit', 'lemon'):
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

[blissful oasis]

i should say, if there is only one sprite in a group you should use pygame.sprite.GroupSingle

Hey

[flat aurora]

There is Ursina for 3D, Arcade is a 2D engine as an alternative to Pygame. There is also Pyglet but that’s a bit lower level and can be a little harder to use, though it’s more flexible. Arcade is built on top of Pyglet for example

hey i need something

I'm making a game using pygame but I'm not the best scripter, would anyone like to help with the game.

this is the game

does anyone know how to make the game a application on your desktop?

so you can just like double click it to run the project and play it

and if you send the file to someone they can play it

[zealous void]

Thank you.. a lot i appreciate it.

[sick eagle]

can you show how to use ARcade

[flat aurora]

Arcade has a ton of examples at https://api.arcade.academy

For pygame

Or vice versa

[potent ice]

I think mac still has python3 and pip3 by default

[teal sage]

Basically just lower the speed somethings going at and then increase how fast the program itself is running at. I don't know if you can really do that in pygame though since I don't really use it often

wait a min please

[torpid meteor]

i used the turtle library

[torpid meteor]

okk

[boreal gazelle]

@torpid meteor

[torpid meteor]

yess

[boreal gazelle]

in the if else ladder put an input statement

like

[torpid meteor]

yea i thought that

but then i felt if i could use
"onkeypress"

[boreal gazelle]

        if next_calculation == "no":
            break```

this is my calc code

you can use this as reference

[torpid meteor]

yea

i will use it

[boreal gazelle]

ight

bye

if you need any help then dm me

[torpid meteor]

just wanted to know if there was a certain keyword that i could use

[boreal gazelle]

if i could i would help

[boreal gazelle]

lemme see

[torpid meteor]

like i used onkeypress "up" to move the paddle upwards

so like a right click would tell the system to restart and a left click would tell the system to close the game and stuff

[torpid meteor]

okkk

[boreal gazelle]

um idk much but you can head to #python-discussion and ask there

bye

[torpid meteor]

Hey Guys, I'm learning about argparse or parsers. I'm trying to figure out a use case where i could practice this. Lets say I write a pygame. When I launch it from the CLI, I'd like to give the window size (width and height with argparsing). normally I would keep these numbers as static variables (800,600). this way it would ensure that i dont mix up the height with the width. would i be going in the right direction (beginner)

or does that just make no sense what so ever ;P

[zealous void]

What about pygame

How do i download pygame

Because when i try to run code i get an error

[potent ice]

pip3 install pygame

Then run your script with python3 stuff.py

[zealous cairn]

So, i've been thinking about a implementation of a main menu system for a while now but havent figured out where to start. There're a couple of articles online i.e from geeksforfreeks but they dont fit my needs. On the image above i quickly draw what i want to archive. I already have a button class that should be good enough. :)

Any idea how to implement such a system.

[carmine nymph]

Pygame is nice

[carmine nymph]

Don't forget to write import pygame

[zealous void]

I write that in between or on the first line

[carmine nymph]

Always import into the beginning of a script

Which mean basically frist line

[zealous void]

1. Import pygame 2. Pip2 install pygame

[carmine nymph]

Why pip2 ?

[carmine nymph]

1. pip3 install pygame
2. add import pygame

Into your script

[zealous void]

Thank you

[carmine nymph]

Also

Do you have python basic ?

Like variable into Class ?

[zealous void]

I have python 3

[carmine nymph]

No

I was saying

How much you know about python ?

[carmine nymph]

The basic are from variables into class

[carmine nymph]

Then use Pygame later on and focus on the langage fridt

He will learn you the basic of Python and basic stuff

[zealous void]

I know some basic languages

Print(“hello world”)

Print(costco (“food store”))

[carmine nymph]

wait

costco ?

Let's me check something pls

[zealous void]

The first thing that popped in my head

[carmine nymph]

so

print("costco("\Food store"\)

Yeah you're just beginning

it's fine ;)

[zealous void]

Thats why I’m here asking questions

[carmine nymph]

Yeah but Directly use pygame is like using a shotgun whiout knowing how to reload
