WIP solitaire!

oop wrong person

this is another big thing of mine @ornate blade

So far I've gotten the logic down mostly, I just need to figure out how to release a card if i let go of left click haha

a lot of the sprites, all but one, were made in gimp

the backgreound texture, which isn't present, was grabbed from a modified SCP logo, which I do credit the SCP wiki for it, just haven't found a way to mark that in yet.

Will prob do that in the code itself, or in a readme file

[ornate blade]

Some good learning. I've never made a game. they seem to have just an endless collection of little edge cases to handle.

[jade owl]

mhm

Pygame is weird

I'm still working on how to release cards when left click is depressed

because currently it just sticks to the cursor lmao

Turtle is fun

from turtle import *

How can you publish your python games and earn revenue from them ?

And what module and or starting place would be for a novice python developer to learn python game development ?

[dawn quiver]

What kind of games are recommended for beginners to create?

[hasty arch]

Mby 3x3 tictactoe or rock paper scissors

[ebon grotto]

can the python bot in discord run pygame script

[potent ice]

If you mean creating images, then yes. Most game libraries can do that.

[ebon grotto]

but can it run in the discord server

[strange sage]

How do you create a sprite with an image?

class Player(pg.sprite.Sprite):
    def __init__(self, pos_x, pos_y, width=None, height=None, color=None):
        super().__init__()
        self.image = pg.Surface([width, height])
        self.image.
        self.rect = self.image.get_rect()

[next estuary]

I've been optimizing my procgen chunkloading

[cloud onyx]

class Player(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
    def __init__(self,pos,groups):
        super().__init__(groups)
        self.image = pygame.image.load('../your path/your file.png').convert_alpha()
        self.rect = self.image.get_rect(topleft = pos)

I'd suggest this way. If you already have a Sprite image built. (Good for various "animations" since use group method and can cycle through as list for each "event")

But there lot ways to do a cake so.

Goodluck on your project mate

[steep temple]

hey can someone help me with SOS game? i need to figure out how to do logic for a dynamic gameboard

its like tic tac toe but instead of 3 S's in a row or 3 O's in a row. it needs to be "SOS" in a row.

https://pastebin.com/TYgt1cSa

heres my code

[strange sage]

Hey, what are the groups that you are passing into the initializing?

[cloud onyx]

A sec

Note lost internet acess

So sorry for shit img

[strange sage]

Thanks!

[nova cloud]

why is it an error i literally have pygame downloaded

[potent ice]

Depends on your IDE/editor. It might be looking up packages in a different python version or virtualenv. Sometimes it can also be a delay in detection if you just installed it.

[nova cloud]

oh right okay ill just restart vscode and see if it works

[potent ice]

Check that the right python is selected in the blue bar at the bottom as well.

[nova cloud]

Yep it works tysm

[frank wasp]

wow

[dry cloak]

so ive been working on this basic 2d block game, and like most block games it uses placing
my issue is that i dont know a way to get the blocks i place to line up with the others
(each block is 50 pixels wide)
i have tried diving the mousepos by 50, rouning it then multiplying it by 50 again, but this is a scrolling game so it still dosent line up if you move

[junior tangle]

i am new to python, but how did you make the blocks below to line up perfectly at first place? Maybe try this:

1. Make a line chunk system (e.g: line_1_y = 50, line_2_y = 100, etc. Same for x
2. When collided, or placed a block. You check to which x, or y line the current block is closest, e.g:
   if block.posX >= 25:
   block.posX = line_1_X (so you are setting the X position of the block to the line 1, which is 50)

i hope this somehow helps, and again, i am a beginner just like you

[dry cloak]

when a world is genorated, layer by layer the world is constructed. the blocks are lined up perfectly because their x and y are multiplied by 50

for example:

while True:
  if layer == 1:
    block = pygame.Rect(x * 50, y * 50, 50, 50)
    x += 1
    if x == 100:
      layer += 1
      x = -100

but thanks for the idea of a line chunk system, this might solve both grid and random terrain genoration im trying to figure out.
it helps 🙂

[junior tangle]

that looks really cool, btw are you using panda3D?

[next estuary]

Ursina / P3D and a lot of numpy/numba, plus opensimplex for the terrain

[dry cloak]

im tryna figure out which one is pywin32

i think its just win32

not sure

[lunar venture]

If it is still installed, you can use pip show whatever_package to see what it requires (its dependencies) and what it is required by (its dependent packages)

Maybe that will help

[grave fossil]

How would i make a server for a multiplayer video game using sockets? I have already tried this and i keep having a problem where the client decides to stop sending data to the server

[wild jay]

@grave fossil You should check out pyzmq or 0MQ, They have a lot of examples for making a socket server, and they make it simper simple.

I use it for a lot of projects internally at work. non game related. For example I run a server with a mysql database, and then 20-30 people user scanners on the floor logging in and then get tasks for doing inventory in a warehouse. Works really really well, and we never have issues with it.

[grave fossil]

what are those? modules?

[broken citrus]

why not just use socket directly

[broken citrus]

You will need to handle the connections

                data = c.recv(4096)
                if not data:
                    self.removeC(c)
                    print(f"{a} has disconnected")
                    break

    def removeC(self, c):
        try:
            self.connections.remove(c)
            c.close()
        except Exception as ex:
            try:
                c.close()
            except Exception as ex:
                print(ex)

gets messy

but thats how i handle them

also i recommend UDP connection

and not TCP

[grave fossil]

k...

[meager atlas]

anyone know how to make python perform a line of code for one second?

[potent ice]

Needs context...

[keen turret]

does anybody here know how to make a chunk system for pygame 2d games? it is needed to not blit all the map at once i want to break it down and display it whenever needed

[frank field]

Hey @glossy rampart!

It looks like you tried to attach a Python file - please use a code-pasting service such as https://paste.pythondiscord.com

[potent ice]

It's not extremely complex if you have a tile-based game, but also very doable if it's not. start defining a chunk size and define from Chunk class/type that contains the surface and potentially all the entities in that chunk. It can also work as a spatial hash so collision and interactions with objects will be much easier to manage.

Store those in a dict with chunk coordinates as the key: (x, y)

It should be easy enough to figure out what chunks are visible on the screen. Divide position by chunk size and you get chunk coordinates.

Objects can potentially be in one or multiple chunks depending on your needs

[karmic torrent]

I'm learning python can someone help?

[fast canyon]

I can help you dm me

[karmic torrent]

ok

[potent ice]

Often better to just grab a help channel

[keen turret]

mine is tiled

[potent ice]

That definitely makes it a lot simpler. Find some appropriate chunk size. I don't know how many surface blits you want to get things down to. Maybe around 10-15 is appropriate?

It would of course depend if the window is resizable and/or how you intend to resize it

[keen turret]

no resizing

the dimensions are 640 / 1200

[potent ice]

Tile size is?

[keen turret]

64*64

[potent ice]

hmm. Just do a test trying to make 5 x 5 tiled chunks?

[dusky parcel]

how can i display a text saying "You won" when a player collides with a object(rect)

[broken citrus]

what framework are you using

[dusky parcel]

pygame

[rain dome]

It's giving me a inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indention error. How would I fix?

[tranquil girder]

make sure you only use tab or spaces for indentation. don't mix them.
usually editors have as setting for converting tab to spaces, you'll want that enabled

[wild jay]

@rain dome If you install black you can use it to auto format lines to 80 col, and wraps them pretty nice. Very consistent.

[rain dome]

Aren’t you the creator of Ursina game engine?

hey guys is this where to ask if I want to ask about turtle python?

[vagrant saddle]

Hi, some fresh news for Pygamers from PyCon DE 2022 https://pmp-p.github.io/pygame-wasm/pyconde.png

[deft plover]

idk, but ask away

[deft plover]

i'm trying to read a model and apply its texture with python opengl

the problem is that my texture is not being applied correctly (possibly because of uv coordinates not being read or something)

i read my texture like this

# read texture and apply some settings
def read_texture(filename):
    img = Image.open(filename + 'texture.png')
    img_data = np.array(list(img.getdata()), np.int8)

    textID = glGenTextures(1)
    glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, textID)
    glPixelStorei(GL_UNPACK_ALIGNMENT, 1)

    glTexParameterf(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL_REPEAT)
    glTexParameterf(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL_REPEAT)

    glTexParameterf(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_NEAREST)
    glTexParameterf(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_NEAREST)

    glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGB, img.size[0], img.size[1], 0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, img_data)
    glGenerateMipmap(GL_TEXTURE_2D)
    return textID

i draw my models like this

def draw_models():
    for model in models:
        glPushMatrix()
        glScalef(*model["scale"])
        glRotatef(90, 1, 0, 0)
        glTranslatef(*model["trans"])

        glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D)
        glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0)
        glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, model["texture"])
        glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_GEN_S)
        glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_GEN_T)
        glTexGeni(GL_S, GL_TEXTURE_GEN_MODE, GL_OBJECT_LINEAR)
        glTexGeni(GL_T, GL_TEXTURE_GEN_MODE, GL_OBJECT_LINEAR)

        for mesh in model["model"].mesh_list:
            glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES)
            for face in mesh.faces:
                for vertex_i in face:
                    glVertex3f(*model["model"].vertices[vertex_i])
            glEnd()
        glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D)
        glPopMatrix()

Anyone got an idea?

this is what it looks like, while the other is what it should look like

also this is how i load my models from file

# read model and translate and scale it
def addModel(path):
    scene = pywavefront.Wavefront(path + 'normalized_model.obj', collect_faces=True,create_materials=True)

    scene_box = (scene.vertices[0], scene.vertices[0])
    for vertex in scene.vertices:
        min_v = [min(scene_box[0][i], vertex[i]) for i in range(3)]
        max_v = [max(scene_box[1][i], vertex[i]) for i in range(3)]
        scene_box = (min_v, max_v)

    scene_size = [scene_box[1][i] - scene_box[0][i] for i in range(3)]
    max_scene_size = max(scene_size)
    scene_trans = [-(scene_box[0][i]) for i in range(3)]

    scaled_size = 2
    scene_scale = [scaled_size / max_scene_size for i in range(3)]
    texID = read_texture(path)
    models.append({"model": scene, "trans": scene_trans, "scale": scene_scale, "texture": texID})

Hey Guys, I coded a game with Pygame and would like to put my game on a phone. How can I do it ?

I know kivy but idk if it works with Pygame

Please mention me !

[versed cedar]

Hello, I apologise if I am interrupting someone, if I have bug in pygame, where should I put the bug? In avaliable help channels or gamedevelopment? If somebody could be generous to answer the question, it would be very nice. In advance, thank you very much.

[vagrant saddle]

@torn jackal you want just python-for-android for that not the fulll kivy

you could also use pygame-wasm in a webview

( see the PyCon DE screenshot earlier )

[torn jackal]

mmmh idk pygame wasm

i m gonna to chek that now

Thank u !

[vagrant saddle]

here's you can try on the targeted phone https://pmp-p.github.io/pygame-wasm/

ymmv

[torn jackal]

oh thats great

and with that i can launch pygame game's from android ?

[vagrant saddle]

yep you just need a sample android for running the webview should not be hard to find

[torn jackal]

okay

thank u very much

[vagrant saddle]

you're welcome

[vagrant saddle]

hi, i guess that depends if the bug is in pygame, or just in your code using pygame in which case you should put it somewhere for people to reproduce and analyze

[broken citrus]

i dont recomment using py opengl

ive tried it made progress

but then it starts getting into c++ more than python

for shaders

Try using Arcade. It is great for shaders.

for gpu hardware instancing would suggest a more robust game engine like Panda3D instead of just pygame

not sure but i'd say yes

but godot is not python, Panda3D is

and in Panda3D you can continue to use pygame on 2d textures

input won't work but drawing will

there is a tkinter window that is opend befor the pygame one, but the root is destroyed befor the pygame window is created

For anyone here that develops games with Python, why do you choose pygame over Panda3D?

[empty wraith]

https://stackoverflow.com/a/50198446/5787172

[vagrant saddle]

i guess you are using pydroid3 ? then the tkinter implementation probably use SDL2 under the hood so it could be like multiple window

[empty wraith]

hi guys. So i have this game i'm making, there are two separate modules: one is the actual game engine, and the other is UI. They're as separate as possible atm, as in i can run simulations on the engine without using UI at all. Game's engine is initialized in the UI class, and is run as a daemon thread. I need to pass player's input to the engine, currently it's done in a weird way: i'm directly changing an engine's variable in the UI, meanwhile the engine is completely stalled like this while self.variable is None: time.sleep(0.01). That looks strange because if you don't delve deeply in the code it looks like this will never come through. I assume it's not the best kind of practice. What is a typical good way of doing this? Should i look into threading.Condition or possibly threading.Event instead?

Actual code, link to the spot where i change a variable directly:
https://github.com/5tr1k3r/dominoes/blob/main/main.py#L273

Link to the spot where i wait endlessly in the engine until that variable is miraculously changed:
https://github.com/5tr1k3r/dominoes/blob/main/models.py#L96

Hi I'm new to coding. I'm currently constructing a very basic pokemon game. At this stage in time I'm stuck in the development of the game. I can't seem to get past this infinite loop on my terminal.

Have a look at my coding and tell me what you think:Introduction = "Hi! Welcome. Let's pick our Pokemon! Would you like a Level 9 Charmander, or a Level 9 Squirtle?"

print(Introduction)

#Creating a class of pokemon

class Pokemon:

Charmander = Pokemon("Charmander", "Flamethrower", "Agility")
Squirtle = Pokemon("Squirtle","Watergun","Agility")

def repr(self):

return "This {level}{name} uses the move {power}. A great choice! ".format(level = self.level, name =self.name, power = self.power)

#Creating a class of Trainer

[keen turret]

which one is better and more professional:

[cloud onyx]

def input(self, key):
    if self.hovered: "Yesterday was giving no hovered attribute but today's seems work"
        if key == 'left mouse down':
            print("ff") "using this to check if replays the input

Missing one required positional argument.
But seeing the video instructing it same method worked. What I'm doing wrong.

[charred pier]

is that function inside a class?

[cloud onyx]

Not as inside of it. But is being inherited from a class object.

Or I fucked up the algo

[charred pier]

can i see more of the code around the function you sent?

[cloud onyx]

Sure thing.is 45 lines so far. Heh.

[charred pier]

yeah no problem

[cloud onyx]

from ursina import *

            print("ff")
app=Ursina()
test_cube = Test_button()
app.run()

[cloud onyx]

Just yesterday the self.hovered wasn't working. But today worked

[charred pier]

firstly, dont name your function "input", as its a python keyword, and secondly you only use "self" when you are inside of a class

so in your "input" function, you dont actually need self, as its not inside of a class

when its not in a function, self is being treated as another argument

[cloud onyx]

Lemme change they. And thanks on advance.

No print but solved the argument. Thanks champ. At least the input is being replied

[flint tapir]

Ok so i managed to break the loop. But now I have another problem with the code. It keeps on outputting the same question prompt. Again and again.

Introduction = "Hi! Welcome. Let's pick our Pokemon! Would you like a Level 9 Charmander, or a Level 9 Squirtle?"

print(Introduction)

elif option == 2:
print("Squirtle has been summoned on the battlefield.")
else:
print("Whoops! It looks like you picked neither Pokemon. Try selecting one again!")

Its like the code has an std or something. Always replicating pieces of unnecessary output like someone gave it herpes

I'm struggling as im quite new to this scale of coding
any help would be appreciated thanks ❤️

[stiff whale]

hi

[hollow shadow]

Hey how would I make pygame.sprite.spritecollideany(player, pipes): ignore the white space between these 2 pipes if it's one image?

[barren sinew]

Hi! is there anyone who can help me with my code in VC? i am struggling with using sounds in my pygame code

[dry cloak]

Is there any way i can bring up the mobilrpe on screen keyboard in pygame

[sinful lodge]

i think the first one looks better

[sinful lodge]

"Yesterday was giving no hovered attribute but today's seems work" is this supposed to be a comment? use # hashtags for comments

[sinful lodge]

input is a function called by ursina (for handling key presses) so they have to name the function that way

oh no someone's trying to make "minecraft" in ursina again 🤦

[raw shadow]

i dont think you can

thats one whole sprite and the white is part of the picture

if it was png i think it might work

[icy valve]

@hollow shadow you dont need to make a sprite just draw the object as an arragment os simbols in your game

[raw shadow]

what?

[icy valve]

let me search for a an example of code of ho to draw in pygame

pygame.draw.rect(game_window, green,
pygame.Rect(pos[0], pos[1], 10, 10))

[raw shadow]

thats not what they're asking

[icy valve]

ok pos[0],pos[1] are the x,y cordinates of where you will draw

[raw shadow]

this looks like a flappy bird, because you're gonna need side-scrolling per frame, you can generate a new pipe ever 30% of FPS

[icy valve]

you can

i made a videogame that draws the world 100fps

(spolier)the screen doesnt like playing a image at 100fps

[raw shadow]

every frame moves a pipe forward, in order to do that generation, you can just use paint.exe to remove the top and bottom and make them separate jpegs.

and the generation can be changed ot make it variate

[icy valve]

not would be easier to just get the x,y position of the pipe and re draw all the world again every frame just adding a 1 in the x cordinate?

like in a pacman game or in the snake game?

[charred pier]

yes but you only use the input method inside of a class, so it still wouldnt overwrite the global "input" function

[sinful lodge]

there is a global input function in ursina too, please do your research

[potent ice]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

[silent kindle]

that is the single coolest idea i have heard in a while

[crisp junco]

how would I go about making a scrollable text in pygame?

I just want the basic idea

[quasi rock]

use code typing in discord please

belive me this thing makes your life better

[versed cedar]

Hello, sorry for writing lately,
I have a bug in a game.
Here is code:

import pygame
import os

pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((400, 400)) # Screen

X = 50
Y = 200
running = False
silver = [190,194,203]
black = [0,0,0]
#text = "Avatar PVP"
while not running:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
running = True
pygame.display.flip()
#Silver Screen
screen.fill(silver)
#Title
pygame.display.set_caption('AVATAR PVP')
#Silver screen
pygame.display.update
#text

font_obj = pygame.font.Font("C:\Windows\Fonts\Arial.ttf", 25)
text_obj = font_obj.render('Avatar PVP', True, black)
screen.blit(text_obj, (50, 100))
#START
font_obj0 = pygame.font.Font("C:\Windows\Fonts\Arial.ttf", 16)
text_obj0 = font_obj0.render('START', True, black)
screen.blit(text_obj0, (50, 210))
#Settings
font_obj1 = pygame.font.Font("C:\Windows\Fonts\Arial.ttf", 16)
text_obj1 = font_obj1.render('SETTINGS', True, black)
screen.blit(text_obj1, (50, 260))
#EXIT
font_obj2 = pygame.font.Font("C:\Windows\Fonts\Arial.ttf", 16)
text_obj2 = font_obj2.render('EXIT', True, black)
screen.blit(text_obj2, (50, 310))
#50 & 90 310 & 325
if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
    posx, posy = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
    print(posx, posy)
    if((posx >= 50 and posx <= 90) and (posy >= 310 and posy <= 325)):
        exit()
    if((posx >= 50 and posx <= 130) and (posy >= 260 and posy <= 270)):
        font_obj = pygame.font.Font("C:\Windows\Fonts\Arial.ttf", 25)
        text_obj = font_obj.render('Avatar PVP', True, silver)
        screen.blit(text_obj, (50, 100))

font_obj0 = pygame.font.Font("C:\Windows\Fonts\Arial.ttf", 16)
text_obj0 = font_obj0.render('START', True, silver)
screen.blit(text_obj0, (50, 210))
# OPTION
font_obj1 = pygame.font.Font("C:\Windows\Fonts\Arial.ttf", 16)
text_obj1 = font_obj1.render('SETTINGS', True, silver)
screen.blit(text_obj1, (50, 260))
# EXIT
font_obj2 = pygame.font.Font("C:\Windows\Fonts\Arial.ttf", 16)
text_obj2 = font_obj2.render('EXIT', True, silver)
screen.blit(text_obj2, (50, 310))
#260 & 275 50 & 90

I searched for solutions, but I couldn't find them.
The bug is when I click the settings button it only flickers instead to delete all texts.
If somebody could be generous, could someone help me?
I would be really grateful.
Good night!

I apologize if I have grammar mistakes in English, it isn't my native tongue, but I will put effort to avoid grammar mistakes as rare as often.

Anyone have thoughts on how you make a game more social?

[latent current]

Hi everyone, I'm new to game development, I was interested in making a clicker game (click to earn coins, games like this) and I wanted to know if anyone knew any videos about it

[dusty burrow]

You first need to select a framework or engine to work with.

After that, you should probably learn how to use it and go from there.

[dawn quiver]

Hello guys, I have 42 instances to do with the same object

Can you help me to create these 42 instances (with a loop for example)

Idk how to do

please mention me

Thanks in advance

[dusky parcel]

if anyone knows pygame well ive been creating a set of walls for my game using rects but i want to change them into wall images this is my wall function

       x, y = (0, 0)
       for i in level:
           for j in i:
               if j == "#":
                   wall_piece = pygame.rect.Rect((x, y, player_size, player_size))
                   pygame.draw.rect(screen, (105, 105, 105), wall_piece)
               x += player_size
           x = 0
           y += player_size

if anyone can help ill highly appreciate it

[arctic hamlet]

Those eyes. My first Godot game. it is free. A horror story game about a journalist henry who plans to visit the famous abounded house.https://sushant12.itch.io/those-eyes

[latent stone]

You would use pygame.image.load to load an image as a Surface object from a file, and then do screen.blit to place it on your screen.

[dry cloak]

So you have 42 instances of a class?

Im a bit late responding so @me when/if you respond

[dry cloak]

My suggestion would be to put them in a list

[dreamy wren]

Is there a 3D equivalent to three.js but for Python

[vagrant saddle]

Panda3D ?

also support wasm you can test it here https://rdb.name/panda3d-webgl/editor.html

[dreamy wren]

Thanks seems to be a bit more of a pain than three.js but I'll give it a go

[white rampart]

hey can i get some help here?

how do i make a pacman style game/or where do i start

[icy valve]

i recomend start whit snake example

is very easy to convert it to any simple game

[white rampart]

oh i see

are there any simple tutorials i can follow?

[icy valve]

y really just downloaded the snake program and started disasamble to make my own game

it was the first time i made a 2d graphical game

i didint saw any tutorial

in the game already everything is well explained what makes every code

[white rampart]

oh i s

aight aight

[vagrant saddle]

you're welcome, and if you did not find it yet here's some usefull https://github.com/fireclawthefox/panda3d-tutorial/blob/master/Panda3D Tutorial.pdf

[alpine hare]

hey guys new here

i need a youtube or website video on game development please

[icy valve]

you mean a video of pepole tiping in code to a presentation?

[alpine hare]

like a youtube channel where i can learn game development
i have already learnt the basic in python now to put it in work

[icy valve]

just in python or also unity?

[alpine hare]

both..but unity uses c#
please

[icy valve]

in inglish or spanish the chanel?

[alpine hare]

english

[alpine hare]

with unity too

[icy valve]

https://www.youtube.com/c/Freecodecamp

[alpine hare]

is that it bro

thanks

[fallow peak]

is pygame to unity that big of a change

[sinful lodge]

you'd have to learn a new langauge C# to use unity

[fallow peak]

oh

then with which should i start

[sinful lodge]

if you're looking to get into the gamedev industry then definitely C#. but if you're just trying to make casual games and learn/practice python while making those games, pygame

[fallow peak]

thenn c# it is

ty

[sinful lodge]

good luck

[lunar venture]

For a game like Pac-Man, Python and PyGame is definitely enough

[ember carbon]

hello i have an issue with pygame

the window keep not responding

and im just trying to click on the window

but it keep (not responding) crashing

and its a not a code error

[dry cloak]

im currently working on a basic 2d block game, and just like terraria/minecraft i want to try add random terrain genoration. im wondering if anyone has any methods of genorating 2d terrain
image of current terrain genoration

[lofty lintel]

I'm using pymunk for my physics engine, and I want to have a world border in the shape of an octagon with rounded edges. I've figured out that I want to use autogeometry, but I need to come up with a set of points to convert into segments to then pass into autogeometry.
I found shapely, but I'm not sure where to go from there.
Is this a good way of implementing this sort of world border, and if not, what do you recommend? If it is a good implementaiton, do you know of an efficient method to generate a set of points for a rounded octagon given an edge length, center, and radius size for the rounded edges? I've only managed to come up with a set of points for a normal octagon, and am stuck on rounding off the edges.
Thanks in advance!

[junior tangle]

Made an infinite loop for my runner game (pixel art by me :D)

you know that feeling when you spend like 10h on graphics, and rly dont wanna the code

[junior tangle]

thats looking pretty nice. I know you can generate 2d terrain with Procedural generation you can search about in on yt

[dry cloak]

ok

[junior tangle]

maybe you forgot the while loop? so it only runs for one frame and then finishes

[dry cloak]

or pygame.display.update()

[junior tangle]

oh yeah as well.

The bug is when I click on settings instead to change the screen or to remove text, it only flickers. If someone could be generous, could someone help me? I would be really grateful. In advance thank you very much. P.S. If the bug isn't clear, I will send you screenshot.

[keen umbra]

i am not english so please respect me . blender is good for pyton ?

[versed cedar]

It depends for what you want to use. Do you want for game development?

[broken citrus]

hey u already asked this and i gave u a solution and you chose not to do it

[versed cedar]

Where?

In General or Gamedevelopment?

I couldn't find, that is why I am asking.

[ruby tundra]

what is in your settings method

[sinful lodge]

i know you said "dont find fault in my code" but i have to point this out, it seems that you are loading the font every frame before rendering text with that? i don't think pygame caches fonts, so that might cause your game to lag a lot. you might wanna load the font beforehand into a variable and use that variable instead

[north halo]

can anyone teach me how to code pygame, I know a bit of python and im new here

[junior tangle]

YouTube

[signal bramble]

for i in range(0, 16):
  key, value = random.choice(list(dictionary_one.items()))
  del dictionary_one[key]

?

[next estuary]

I never would have thought you could do this much with python

Just wanted to apologise guys for my herpes remark. I understand talking about health issues online can be psychologically detrimental. Will not happen again

[smoky pawn]

blender isn’t for game dev

[normal silo]

You can make games with a modified version of Blender. Blender used to have a game engine in it, but it was removed. That game engine was put back in in a separate project: https://upbge.org/#/

[smoky pawn]

then it’s just extension lol

[normal silo]

I'm not sure what counts as a Blender extension. Is Discord just a Chromium extension?

[smoky pawn]

discord is electron js project

game shit that you sent me is extension for blender because it makes you use blender for what it wasn’t designed for

[normal silo]

Electron uses Chromium and Node.js so you can build your app with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

https://www.electronjs.org/

[smoky pawn]

build apps

lol

tf r u trying to tell me

[normal silo]

At what point is something its own project vs just an extension? UPBGE seems to add a lot.

[smoky pawn]

it doesn’t matter how much it adds

[normal silo]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus

[smoky pawn]

can you understand that it extends blender for bonus purpose

[smoky pawn]

the fuck are you sending me

you couch phisoloph

[normal silo]

"it’s just extension", in my opinion, UBPGE is not just an extension. It's its own project.

[smoky pawn]

it is project which is being integrated in blender

so it extends blender

[normal silo]

It's an extension, but not "just" an extension.

[smoky pawn]

wym

[normal silo]

When I think of a Blender extension I think of a small Python script that maybe adds new key bindings, export file types, etc.

Not a whole game engine.

[smoky pawn]

is pylance vsc extension or own project

[normal silo]

I don't know what that is.

[broken citrus]

you can do anything

[broken citrus]

Anyone know a open source game that would need multiplayer

[vagrant saddle]

pong on pygame-wasm, but that's a real challenge

[broken citrus]

send link

[vagrant saddle]

https://github.com/pmp-p/python-wasm-plus the pong there are two in demo folder

only have a basic asyncio loop which is not socket based, and websockets javascript side

pyodide claim to have working sockets so there may be prior art to getting the data to python

[broken citrus]

i want somethign thats pure python

[vagrant saddle]

me too

[broken citrus]

maybe something using pygame since it might be easy

[vagrant saddle]

pyodide socket stuff is way too much js side

[vagrant saddle]

i don't get that ?

[broken citrus]

im talking about a normal game in python

[vagrant saddle]

you mean normal sockets then

where's the fun ? :p

10 lines with pyenet and it's done

[broken citrus]

pyenet lol ?

i just use normal sockets

[vagrant saddle]

tcp or udp ?

[broken citrus]

udp ofcourse

tcp i ngames ew

[vagrant saddle]

pyenet use udp too and it's very well done

[broken citrus]

im just looking for a game that hasnt impleneted multiplayer yet

really

send me link ima see pyenet

[vagrant saddle]

https://github.com/aresch/pyenet

enet is widely used in low latency multiplayer games like fps

and it handle retransmission if needed which is really a bonus for udp

[broken citrus]

i usually just use socket never used enet

nah this isnt what im looking for at all

this is 5 years old 😭

[vagrant saddle]

yeah that's usually the case for bugfree libraries

they're old and working very well

[broken citrus]

hmm i doubt

maybe they do to a certain extent

i still rather use something i made ya feel me

specially after it works really when and im confident with it

[vagrant saddle]

and it's more than twelve years old

[broken citrus]

yikes

anyways if you know or find a singleplayer game that has potential for multiplayer let me know

[vagrant saddle]

nah they would probably want enet or humblenet

won't fit your needs

[broken citrus]

nah

but im just saying if you do find one thats opensource

let me know

[mint swallow]

Didn't even know you could make games with python.

[broken citrus]

if u can do maths in python you can do anything

[cold storm]

upbge makes it more feasible

but we could use GPU armature skinning

then we would be beating unity after the vulkan port finishes up

upbge.org

[frank field]

Hey @cold storm!

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

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

[cold storm]

I can't share .blend here still

lame

a .blend can contain text blocks (code) and models / textures / shaders etc

(a whole game basically)

[vagrant saddle]

afaik upbge execution is not sandboxed

[icy valve]

about what is the game?

[tranquil girder]

Cool. You made it in Python?

[icy valve]

it looks like an .exe of 216kB

idont know i shouldn execute any kind of program i didnt made or if i dont see the source code first

its not safe to just execute anything without know what it is

[sinful lodge]

it's kinda sus ngl, he wants you to check out the code but it's just an exe, also which game doesn't have assets?

@dawn quiver what happened to your game assets

also yeah please include source if you want people to actually be able to review the code

[round obsidian]

@dawn quiver this isn't Python related.

[orchid osprey]

Yo, so I have a game outline and I'm trying to get it into a UI...any game makers out there that know a program that works with python?

[grim niche]

I dont understand where I went wrong

[vagrant saddle]

(125,125,) not 125,125

[vagrant saddle]

by pair it means tuple ( or list ) for center

[left dust]

Hi I am trying to code a horror text adventure game kind of like the ones that you would see for the Amiga I was wondering if anyone knew how to create graphics similar to Amiga text adventure games

[lean moss]

"\033[1;31;40m" + "bob" + "\033[0m"

You wrap you word around the specified numbers for the color of your choice

a better example would be print("\033[1;32;40m Bright Green \n")

[hexed shale]

what game development program is closest to python or LUA in coding

like as in Unity, unreal engine or another

[lean moss]

Godot engine is the one I use so you can try that

[empty wraith]

in arcade, is it required to use sprites/spritelists if i want to draw primitives directly on a custom texture/framebuffer?

[flat aurora]

You can use Arcade’s low level OpenGL API directly, though I think the documentation for that is somewhat lacking at the moment. Check the arcade.gl package

https://api.arcade.academy/en/latest/gl/index.html

It also describes how you can use Pyglet rendering directly, currently you to use a context manager it provides to do Pyglet rendering inside Arcade, but upcoming in Arcade 2.7 is the ability to just freely mix Arcade and Pyglet rendering

[empty wraith]

thank you

[main brook]

Hi

everyone

[icy valve]

what are you doing ?

[main brook]

Umm so I have been making a game in ursina

a 3d game module

and...

My texures arent loading

so

is this for pygame

[icy valve]

ursina? ive working only in 2d whit pygame and text based games

[main brook]

lol

[icy valve]

tell me more about ursina

why did you chosed?

[main brook]

you can make a 3d object in 1 line of code

[icy valve]

i could work better than unity?

[main brook]

yes

[icy valve]

im seeing to make a 3d vr game in the future

[main brook]

Oh boy

[main brook]

(Also a vr headset costs 300 bucks)

[icy valve]

i already have a vr headset

[main brook]

epik

i made one

but..

yeah

[icy valve]

i justa have to end to develop a treadmill like in ready player 1 to play in the game

[main brook]

Ig oculus?

[icy valve]

i already end 1 glove

yea i have an oculus quest 2

[main brook]

so

i think

its like android

[main brook]

cuz its arm based

Unity/unreal would be better for that

[icy valve]

its android based OS ive already use it just because it were the only headset chep enought and because you dont need wires to play which is perfect for my tecnology

[main brook]

yes quite much

[icy valve]

now im exited as my glove works perfect as i planed

[main brook]

bruh

[icy valve]

now i have to polish some tings and make the promotional video

[main brook]

mean while i taped my phone to a carton box with biconvex lenses and use my phone as a motion tracker

and send a hdmi output from my pc to my s21

[icy valve]

i tried that but i dont liked the quality or the pretition of the image and also it was very eye harming to see a movio or so

[main brook]

lol

yes

[icy valve]

it can work of course but i really like the quiality i managed whit the oculus 2

[main brook]

with filter*

[main brook]

yeah

but mine works ig

[icy valve]

but for now im stuck whit panic of how to propelly sell this project

[main brook]

i can play steam vr thanks to my rtx 2060 i picked up some how

[main brook]

yeah good luck

[icy valve]

but you dont get eye tired of 2 hours of use?

[main brook]

nope

i turn the brightness down

[icy valve]

hte cell phones screens arent desinegd to work as fine as mini oled

[main brook]

oh

i have an s21

[icy valve]

even whit the brigness in minimum and whatching a movie was very dark(batman) i get tired in 20 minutes and my eyes were burnign

[main brook]

yea

[icy valve]

y want to make a tecnology safe to use for everyone and cheap for easy use

i used a motorola g5plus

[main brook]

yes like the rassbery pi

its also a solid system

[icy valve]

ive use raspberry pi but for what im working these days the raspberrys are very short in procesing power for my projects

they are good for embeding systems like ligths or experiments or miniservers for a 3d printer

[main brook]

u can use one to make a custom gba

[icy valve]

but not enough to run deep learning algoritms in real time to control robots

[main brook]

yes

the m1 on macs are small and powerfull

i heard a rummor that apple is making a singleboard computer

[icy valve]

i tried to just run yolo in a raspberry but it runs like 3 or 5 frames per second. not enought to runa a minirace car to detect objects and persons

i whould like a single board computer but i dont like much the apple tecnology

[main brook]

yeah

[icy valve]

its exremlly expensive and not all time it give you all control

[main brook]

not really

that much

[icy valve]

for example if i want to root an iphone to use it as a laptop you cant because that invalitdates the garanty

[main brook]

i mean

[icy valve]

i need full control of the tecnology i buy because i use every single drop of them

[main brook]

if u could replace the storage device

[icy valve]

thats why i dont like much the oculus quest too

[main brook]

but you cant

[icy valve]

not is as simple as replace the storage device its need tools are really exepensive and no all persons know how to use it

[main brook]

yeah

you cant in all in one chipsets

[main brook]

(I have sent a friend request)

[icy valve]

ive already acepted

[main brook]

ok

cuz i gtg

Hey guys juste à question : I would like to begin thé 3D game devlopement, and do u know if we can use unity with Python ?

And if not do u know any other software to code 3D video games ?

[lunar venture]

I don't think there's any game engine that can let you script in Python other than Godot with the plugin or whatever

[icy valve]

i have already a game in 3d but for now its a prototype that works in 2d and im planing to mgrate all the code to unity

By the looks of it, the lines

                tkWindow.destroy
                tkWindow.quit

Should instead be

                tkWindow.destroy()
                tkWindow.quit()

Since I would assume those are methods or functions

And to call a method/function you use brackets

[sinful lodge]

from a quick google search yes

[icy valve]

o i see the wiki say godot is c and c++

that sounds good because i already know about c++

but im not sure if i should develop in godot or in unity

@sinful lodge i heard about godot is free of any kind of revenues and licenses but what about unity its also open source? i have played many games in unity

[sinful lodge]

i think for commercial games you do need to pay, but i dont thinky ou ahve to for non commercial games

you can use unreal though, if you already know c++

[icy valve]

@sinful lodge i want to make a free to play open source vr game maybe whit little microtransactions of just cosmetics that counts as a comercial game?

just develop code upload to github and steam and take upgrades from the users whit the time and revenue of the microtransactions or donations inside the game

just like combining csgo whit vrchat but more techno less militar

[jolly vale]

Use unreal engine fortnite was made in that engine

[icy valve]

is free? which languago of programing is used to it?

and i really dont like fortnite is nice to the see but i dont like the battle royals

[snow hill]

unity is NOT open source, by no mean 🙂

@snow hill yea ive made my research the last day and i found if you revenue is up to 100,000 at year it could cause legal problems to you

im looking for the future if i had to take the risk or not so i can start moving my game to python to unity or gotod

[snow hill]

Open source is not about the revenue you have to pay back to the vendor or author or of the engine

Maybe you are referring to a « free to use » licensing ?

[idle phoenix]

they are probably referring to that if you publish a game using the Unity Personal License and you make either 100k in revenue or get at least 100k in funding for development of the game you will be required to purchase a Plus/Pro/Enterprise plan to continue updating/developing

[dim belfry]

Is it better to learn pygame or arcade for game development

[torn jackal]

Definetely Pygame

But if you want to make very good 2D or 3d I recommend u Godot

But Pygame is really easy and we can make à lot of things with that

[magic oriole]

How is the performance of panda3d with Cython in comparison to C++ gamedev?

(Assuming that it is done well.)

[broken citrus]

c++ is better ofcourse

[vagrant saddle]

Panda3D is c++ ....

python is a bonus with it

[vagrant saddle]

with Panda3D and python you will finish your app sooner, that will let you time to worry about performance if your userbase complain about that

[magic oriole]

👍

Oh, I didn't explain what game lol.

The project under consideration is going to have 3d rendered terrain/entities.

The question is whether it'll work fine to start in panda3d, which we think it will be, but I was curious what opinions of the library/performance I could find here.

[normal silo]

It's fine. You can make pretty much any 3D (or 2D) game with it. The parts that need to be fast can be written in C++. Compiling Panda3D and/or linking to it was not difficult nor buggy in my experience, especially compared to other engines similar to it.

[magic oriole]

Nice! Good to know.

[magic oriole]

Do you think we need to use Cython or should we start in regular Python and switch if we need to?

I assume if we write some parts in C++ then we wouldn't use Cython.

[normal silo]

Regular Python, starting with Cython is premature optimization.

Yes, use C++ when you need to be fast. Cython is more useful for when you are trying to create Python bindings for your C/C++ library.

Or are allergic to C/C++.

Please mention me if u can help 🙏 🙏

[sinful lodge]

just gonna talk about the code first, you can directly create instances in a list, instead of having to create 42 variables then putting them in the list, like

blocks = [
  cube(),
  cube(),
  ...
]```
then, you can use a list comprehension instead of having to type cube() 42 times
```py
blocks = [cube() for i in range(42)]```

you probably can run pygame games on android but that's not an easy task, you can take a look at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23934370/pygame-on-android

[vagrant saddle]

you'd need pydroid3 because you use tkinter, and python-for-android afaik does not provide it

if not using tk it is very easy to publish pygame games on android and web ( so is fit for ios i guess )

[torn jackal]

Thank u @sinful lodge and thx for the "for loop" i didnt think about that

(Im a begginer too) I use while loop, and have functions inside it. But you can try something like this, however it will not be efficient to use globals.

def GameRun(gameState,playerX)
    global playerX
    global gameState
    print(f”the game is currently at {gameState}) #Inside this function is your main code
    playerX += 1

while True:
    GameRun(True, 100)

Im a noob, so hope this helps

[dawn quiver]

Isn't that JavaScript?

[desert hornet]

It's a valid python function

def whatever(var_1, var_2):

print(whatever(5, 6))

this prints 30

People who use godot seem to like it, if free is your one and only criteria for a game-engine it will probably serve you well, but most game engines are probably fine if you take the time to learn their ins and outs.

[empty wraith]

using arcade. is there a common practice when you want to separate different Views (put them in different python modules/files), but doing that would introduce circular import because you go from X view to Y, and from Y to X too

[potent ice]

You could just import the view in the method that's switching the view for quick results. A cleaner solution is to make a view manager kind of class you store in the window. It should all the switching instead.

[empty wraith]

but then this view manager must be aware of all views, and each view must be aware of the view manager (make it a class attribute or so), so seems the circularity remains?

[potent ice]

You might not want to create en entire new view every time you switch, so could also store the view instances for example in the window itself if you don't have too many of them

[potent ice]

Not if you avoid importing any views in your views. You just set some state in the view manager and it will do the switching

[empty wraith]

i mean in this case the thing that is gonna get circularimported is the view manager itself, not the views. maybe i'm missing something

[potent ice]

What would cause the circular import?

[empty wraith]

each view imports the view manager. the view manager imports each view to be able to switch to them

[potent ice]

All views have a reference to the window. You can create an instance of the manager at startup and just store the instance on the window

In view: self.window.view_manager.game_over()

[empty wraith]

ah hm

that could work it seems

i was honestly like, there's no way there isn't a typical practical solution to this

[potent ice]

You can also hack around it importing the view inside a function to avoid circular imports to be honest It's be pretty, works

There are many ways you can solve this. It's a common general programming issue

[empty wraith]

i was going to show where exactly the current problem is, but i guess not required now. if curious: https://github.com/5tr1k3r/triangles/blob/main/main.py#L255 and all lines that contain the line show_view

[potent ice]

also works, but not that clean```py
def on_mouse_press(self, x: float, y: float, button: int, modifiers: int):
if self.play.is_hovered:
from somewhere import PlayView
self.window.show_view(PlayView())

It should also be faster to just create one single instance of the play view at startup keeping that around

[empty wraith]

i'd like to create all views except MenuView from scratch

could also just reset their state after the switch every time but didnt see much reason to do that

[potent ice]

Ok, If they are cheap to make that definitely works

[empty wraith]

i guess it's kinda wasteful in a way if i'm gonna switch around a lot

[potent ice]

It can be in some cases, yes

[empty wraith]

textures get cached so no problem on that front

[potent ice]

It's easy enough to change later. Don't assume textures you lose reference to will stay cached.

[empty wraith]

i dunno how exactly texture caching works under the hood so wasn't able to test thoroughly if they get cached between new instances of Views

just noticed the caching itself within one instance so maybe came up with conclusions too hastily

[potent ice]

There are going to be some cache changes in next version that would work similar to python garbage collection, but you can configure an eternal cache if needed.

[empty wraith]

i'm now actually kinda curious why there's no builtin view manager in arcade

[potent ice]

There are so many ways you can solve the problem you have to be honest. I don't think there is a generic enough api/interface for a default view manager we can provide

[empty wraith]

the way it is now it kinda promotes bundling everything in one file like i did:) at least for those not super well-versed with the manager pattern (like, you told me, but i still wasn't able to grasp how it would work until you elaborated on that backreferenced Window part)

don't mean to challenge you, but imo there isn't that many options here. dynamic import - i'd really like to avoid that, can admit that i overlooked that, yes. the genuine working view manager approach. and i assume some sort of hacky approach that messes with importlib or something, so it doesn't import elements twice

[potent ice]

You could create an issue in the arcade project. I don't remember if we have any examples using this method. I think the window itself is just used as a manager in some places.

[potent ice]

All good. We're open to ideas.

[empty wraith]

also, maybe potentially overriding the show_view method so it accepts str

[potent ice]

Example?

[empty wraith]

didn't look into it much. figured that passing str would avoid an import of SomeView if you are passing its instance (show_view(SomeView()) vs show_view("SomeView()")). just a thought out loud

https://www.alpharithms.com/django-circular-imports-153910/ kinda like done here

[potent ice]

Would require some view registry and in most cases you don't make a new instance. You would show an existing instance.

I see where you are coming from, but the solution is very specific to one way of doing things

[empty wraith]

yeah

[potent ice]

I could see that making some example managing game views would be useful though. Some game manager instance that would store shared states between the views and be responsible for switching views based on states

Not saying this is the "right" solution. It's just how I would do it 😄

Just moving states away into your own types makes things a whole lot cleaner I think

[empty wraith]

hm so this view manager we talked about, it cannot really do things fully on its own because show_view is a method of Window. and you'd have to pass the instance of Window into this view manager. so in a way it's just an abstraction over something Window itself could do, is it not

[potent ice]

You can pass the window to the manager on creation or you can arcade.get_window() anywhere to get a reference.

That of course assumes you already have a window of course

[empty wraith]

oh ye i was looking for that function, forgot it exists

it's just the full realization that show_view cannot be achieved without Window made me think that the main Window could just serve as a view manager anyway

Also works if you want to dynamically fetch it ```py
@property
def window(self):
return arcade.get_window()

Yeah most people just use the window to be honest, but as complexity increase it's cleaner to move it away from the window itself.

It's really because the window object itself contains so much stuff already and you can have name collisions with exiting members. For example. Window.view is view matrix for OpenGL etc

[empty wraith]

right, right

had a similar short-lived bug with a subclass of Sprite because it has so many members

[potent ice]

Right. For sprites it's a lot more manageable at least. Tiny compared to the monstrous Window instance 😄

on_show_view is also better to use since it will only be dispatched once when you show a view. on_show can trigger in window creation and when you restore the window after minimized

It can create some interesting bugs. I cleaned that up somewhere in 2.6.x

[empty wraith]

huh

[potent ice]

(docs should be clear about this now and examples were changed to promote the use of on_show_view)

[empty wraith]

i briefly looked at it in the code

imo adding "Called once" would be good

cus i wasn't sure if it gets executed once or not

[potent ice]

    def on_show_view(self):
        """
        Called once when the view is shown.

You are using an old version of arcade then

[empty wraith]

2.6.13

[potent ice]

Oh. I guess in 2.6.14 then 😄

[empty wraith]

🙂

[potent ice]

Should be out right after pycon us

[last root]

Question, which version of FFMPEG should I use? 4 or 5?

[potent ice]

Just use the latest unless you have software that depends on a specific version. Version 5 is still pretty new and could potentially case some trouble, but you can always switch if needed. I'd just use latest for now.

[timber ice]

can i use unity with python on 4gb ram ?

[empty wraith]

i would assume it's doable, only practice would tell what kind of performance you get though

[last root]

Unity only understands C#

[empty wraith]

ye, and that

[last root]

Unless you could get IronPython to work

[empty wraith]

i thought they meant python scripts for unity or smth

view caching. would you consider this too crazy? @potent ice

https://pastebin.com/e5qtNhXV i think this is better

except there is no need for eval at all, forgot to remove it

[potent ice]

If that makes sense for your game, sure.

There isn't really any right or wrong solution here to be honest. I'd probably create the views in a more controlled way during initialization to support some simple loading screen/view if needed, but most smaller games don't need that.

The important thing is that you can build on in later, something that seems to be the case

[empty wraith]

here the main purpose for this "on demand" kind of view creation/caching is that the main PlayView takes some time to create, i wouldn't want that delay to happen whenever i launch the program

[empty wraith]

arcade again. let's say i have 10 UI buttons, they are sprites. all buttons have different purposes. am i supposed to put each of them into a separate spritelist and do arcade.get_sprites_at_point for each spritelist, or is there a way to put them all into the same spritelist and then figure out which one was activated exactly? i can think of some hacky ways but is there some common practice for this?

[potent ice]

You always want to batch draw as much as possibly using spritelists. There are collision functions for getting sprites at or near a point.

There's also an arcade discord server https://discord.gg/ZjGDqMp

[empty wraith]

i understand, that wasn't entirely the question though 🙂

[potent ice]

Should be enough with one spritelist for both drawing and collision checks

[empty wraith]

yeah, but how do i figure out which sprite/button exactly has collided with mouse cursor (was pressed)?

[potent ice]

The collision function will return the sprite

[empty wraith]

yes

[potent ice]

You can subclass Sprite if needed

[empty wraith]

yes, subclass Sprite, add name field, then check by name. i wasn't able to come up with anything better, and even that felt kinda strange

[potent ice]

Seems more than fine for a simple menu. Can always expand later if needed.

Make some on_click callback or something.

is it possible to make a 3d game

[daring pewter]

What is better, SDL2 or Pygame?

[azure dawn]

Pygame ( my opinion )

[daring pewter]

I’m using pygame right now but I was just wondering

[last root]

Pygame because it already wraps SDL2 for you

Among other things

[sinful lodge]

pygame is just a wrapper around sdl2 for python, in terms of speed definitely sdl2 (because you need C to use sdl2), but pygame is better if speed is not a factor

[last root]

There's bindings or wrappers in other languages

So knowledge in C isn't strictly necessary

[last root]

Going with what ConfusedReptile said. Godot's the closest you can get as far as Unity-like game engines and Python goes

You can also go with Panda3D which does actually use Python, but you're limited to 3D with that

And it doesn't come with a GUI out of the box

[mint swallow]

Are there game engines for python?

[proper peak]

scroll up a little and you'll see a few answers to the same question 🥴

tl;dr: not really, though Godot's GDScript is pretty similar.

[rapid barn]

I'm trying to make a game that could be playable on mobile as well as on computer, but I'm having trouble prompting the phone's keypad to open on mobile

[icy valve]

i ve already made an runable game in pygame and the same source code runs in pyton terminal or in python terminal phone

[rapid barn]

I'm going to use the keypad to help you sign up and log in

[icy valve]

i used a wireless keyboard to control the players on my game but also works whit a otg keyboard conected to the phone

[rapid barn]

is their a way to prompt the phones keyboard to open. For example when you start to text on the phone, a keyboard pops up

[icy valve]

yea but i dont liked used the phones virtual keyboard bacause my game requires all the dysplay to know what is hapening

its like playing fifa whit just seeing the top 20% of the screen

[rapid barn]

true, but is it possible

[icy valve]

yea its posible

[rapid barn]

and i'm just using the keyboard to sign in

[icy valve]

usefull for strategic games but the mine is real time

[rapid barn]

how though

[icy valve]

is very simple just download a python ide for android and run the code

if you use pygame the ide runs everiting and all is smoot and fine

if your game its just based in text you can use a terminal emulator also for android

[rapid barn]

ok

[icy valve]

install python whit apt install python and download the libraries whit pip

[rapid barn]

is their another way

since I have iphone

[icy valve]

i dont know much about apps in iphone

thats why i dont use mac to develop code its triky to make usable for all kinds of devices

[rapid barn]

ok

i'll try to use text to log in

[icy valve]

you are making a game whit just text?

[rapid barn]

no, just the sing, in/ log in

everything else, in pygame

[icy valve]

chek if in the appstore exist and ide for python or a build in python framework

[rapid barn]

ok

thanks for your time

[icy valve]

im very comforotable runing my code in the ide and just playin or launching from terminal the game

[mint swallow]

thanks mister

[charred bay]

can someone explain why is this happening

[proper peak]

it's an instance method, so you need to access it like self.get_surrounded_cells()

Hey can someone help me with pygame

I am trying to make a mute button for my hangman game

But it is not working

The image is changing properly but the sound is not stopping only one of the 3 sounds are stopping and I cant even unpause smh

Here is the code -

for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            run = False
        if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:

            if volume_image.get_rect(topleft=(715, 15)).collidepoint(event.pos):
                print(1)
                if pygame.mixer.music.get_busy():
                    print(2)
                    pygame.mixer.music.pause()
                    print(3)
                    volume_image, volume_mute_image = volume_mute_image, volume_image
                    print(4)
                else:
                    print(5)
                    pygame.mixer.music.unpause()
                    print(6)
                    volume_image, volume_mute_image = volume_mute_image, volume_image
                    print(7)

does anyone use panda3d?

it seems horrible

[grand matrix]

could someone tell me whats wrong here

i dont get it

[proper peak]

Looks like every node experiences a force proportional to how much its length deviates from its optimal distance (self.set_distance) that aims to return it to that length.
Another interesting detail is the n1.velocity = 0.71 * n1.velocity + ... - 0.71 is essentially a friction constant (every tick a node only retains 0.71x of its previous velocity).
(well, 1-0.71=0.29 would be the friction per tick here)

[broken citrus]

just real quick i mdoing this quickly im gonna optimize it later but

Hi

Is there anyone, that could explain me Panda3d physics? Maybe some tutorials?

Beacouse I'm reading their page, but I don't know, what I'm doing wrong

        if FuncsDatas.keymap["forward"]:
            world.boxforceNode.addForce(lvf)  # Determine coordinate space of this force node
            world.boxphysicsactor.getPhysical(0).addLinearForce(lvf)  # Add the force to the object

        elif not FuncsDatas.keymap["forward"]:
            world.boxforceNode.removeForce(lvf)  # Determine coordinate space of this force node
            world.boxphysicsactor.getPhysical(0).removeLinearForce(lvf)  # Add the force to the object

The problem is, that I can't remove forces from the object

So they are... cumulating

[broken citrus]

i solved this problem

just had to add

self.cam.setPos(self.cam, self.camPosX,self.camPosY,self.camPosZ)

instead of

self.cam.setPos(self.camPosX,self.camPosY,self.camPosZ)

[potent ice]

I'm including python based game libraries here because this is a python gamedev channel. If you are looking for something outside of that it's somewhat off topic here

Some are game engine/frameworks. Others are simpler game libraries or graphics/media libraries
