Hello everyone, I need help for my program( it's a kind of akinator version youtubeur ) since earlier i have a problem with syntax it no longer recognizes a function def whereas before the program worked very well i do not understand: here is the program

And I just started :)

[vagrant saddle]

maybe put the code on a paste/gist so we can test what's wrong

[balmy aurora]

It's a typo - try running it in Python 3.10 and it will tell you the correct spelling

[broken citrus]

anyone know how i can add a "sun" lighting in Panda3d?

[normal silo]

The docs cover all the basics: https://docs.panda3d.org/1.10/python/programming/render-attributes/lighting

[broken citrus]

yea but im nto sure how to edit the strength of the light

[normal silo]

Try changing the color, or the temperature.

[broken citrus]

temperature?

[normal silo]

https://docs.panda3d.org/1.10/python/reference/panda3d.core.Light?highlight=setcolortemperature#panda3d.core.Light.setColorTemperature

It's explained in the lighting section of the docs linked previously.

I want to load an image to in pygame, but I get this error:
pygame.error: Failed loading libwebp-7.dll: the given module was not found.
This is my code:
self.image = pygame.image.load(os.path.join(dirname, img_name))
dirname is the path to the python script an img_name is the name of the image.

I would be very glad if anyone would help me.

[keen phoenix]

Ok so I have another problem with raycasting. I have successfully implemented the DDA algorithm but sometimes it goes through walls and the textures appear wrong. In the picture I have shown what's wrong. The area highlighted with a ? should be another texture, not bricks. Here's my code: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/tapefubasi. The problem is in the top segment. cos_a is the cosine of the current angle, sin_a is the sine of the current angle, TILE_SIZE is 22 in this case, ox is player x, oy is player yxm and ym are the mapping(ox, oy), WINDOW_SIZE is a tuple with (window_width, window_height) and LEVEL_POS is a set of grid beginnings.

[scenic dome]

Your rays seem to be going into the wrong places. The light can't dig into the bricks or wood, and doing so is giving this wrong result. The ray can only collide with exposed faces of the blocks.

[keen phoenix]

How do I fix that? I used the same raycasting code as this: https://github.com/StanislavPetrovV/Raycasting-3d-game-tutorial/blob/master/part %233/ray_casting.py

[scenic dome]

What happens if you replace the floor with ceil? It still won't work but it may give us a hint.

[scenic dome]

If you are still struggling, can you give me your whole demo so I can play with it? Maybe actually seeing it in action can help me debug it.

[keen phoenix]

Maybe later, I am not at home rn

[keen phoenix]

Tried that before, didn't change anything.

Tried round, math.floor and math.ceil

But before I got the opposite result. The verticals worked but the horizontals didn't

But just can't seem to remember the code

And when it was ceil, some rays were just glitching and rendering the opposite of the player

[rancid stone]

anyone work with pil here before?

i wanna print the counter of class Char

any advice?

[old hill]

do you want to print the counter in the console?

[true trail]

for now yes, then i wanna use in other way

but i just would like to knoow how i can use the self.counter of class Char in another class

[old hill]

you could maybe pass the instance of the Char Class to the update method of the other class and contain it like that

[true trail]

okay(?), the problem is that i dont really know how to do 😦

[frank field]

Hey @old hill!

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

[old hill]

how did you send the code like this?

hmm

[true trail]

three

and write py after the first three

[old hill]

didn't work😓

oh ok

thank you!

[old hill]

maybe my code helps you to understand what i mean

everytime you update the other sprite you can pass the counter to the sprite

[true trail]

"counter_from_other_class" has the value of self.counter of the class Char?

[old hill]

yes you can name it everything you want

when you call the update method you need to pass it in the ()

[true trail]

im really confused, because i dont understand how to pass the self.counter of the def(counting) of Char(), in the class Money()

[old hill]

I can futher help you in about 2 to 3 hours.

[true trail]

ofc, can i write to u in pvt?

[old hill]

Yes no problem

[rancid stone]

umm i need a bit of help with a pil code is anyone proficient with pil?

[formal pendant]

does anyone know how developers retrieve the information from games such as hearthstone to create deck trackers and stuff?

[proper peak]

That's what APIs are for. Googling heartstone api gives me:
https://develop.battle.net/documentation/hearthstone/game-data-apis

Hearthstone game data APIs provide endpoints for Hearthstone cards, decks, and related information.
so looks like that can totally be used for what you describe.

anyone able to help me with tkinter?

[scenic dome]

I played with tkinter a bit a long time ago. What is your problem?

[dawn quiver]

just a bit confused on how to clear and redraw each widget

[scenic dome]

Do you have code that isn't working correctly?

[dawn quiver]

yea its an assignment im working on

i have all the classes and methods laid out

but cant figure out how to construct the widgets

[scenic dome]

So you call pack() and mainloop() and nothing shows up?

[dawn quiver]

nah im not even at that point yet

[scenic dome]

It's hard to know where you are stuck. Did you get the hello world example working?

[dawn quiver]

well its complicated
the assignment throws me straight into the thick of it and had me create classes for the level, stats, and inventory views; its not really something that builds up from something simple like that so im having a hard time seeing how it all comes together

I really just need to know how to create the widgets I need for each view, and how to update them

end result looks like this

[scenic dome]

First you set up the loop. I recommend the accepted answer to
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29158220/tkinter-understanding-mainloop

[dawn quiver]

yes I have the mainloop implemented

main() goes into play_game(), which creates the interface and of course it stops there cuz theres no widgets

[scenic dome]

Lets break it down! First create a ball that moves one step when you press the arrow keys. Nothing else. No inventory. No enemies. No walls. Those will be added later.

Hey @scenic dome!

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

[scenic dome]

Fixed main.py:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/kihixuloco
Graphics fixed and smoother collisions (you can slide along walls and past corners if you hit them at an angle, but you cannot actually clip through any walls themselves).

[keen phoenix]

o

[scenic dome]

Test it on your end and see if it works properly.

[keen phoenix]

What did you exactly change in the raycasting algorithm?

[scenic dome]

The horizontal scanline loop would overwrite target_pos from the vertical loop, making bugs if the vertical loop wasn't used. So I made seperate target_pos_h and target_pos_v.

[scenic dome]

Correction: The horizontal scanline loop would overwrite target_pos from the vertical loop, making bugs if the *horizontal loop found a hit but wasn't used. So I made seperate target_pos_h and target_pos_v.

[keen phoenix]

ooh

I get it now

but the music is very bad quality

oh I removed the pre-init function and it plays fine

[keen phoenix]

Thank you anyways bro!

[dawn quiver]

@scenic dome hey are you available rn? I figured out most of it now, I just have a question about button callbacks

[scenic dome]

Yes, ask the question.

[dawn quiver]

so the inventory is a list of buttons that should call apply_item(item_name) when clicked

how do i set the callback for the whole frame with the parameter item_name

    def set_click_callback(self, callback: Callable[[str], None]) -> None:
        """ Sets the click callback function for the inventory buttons """
        self.bind("<Button-1>", callback)

this is what i have rn
self refers to the inventory frame

callback is simply equal to the apply_item function in another class

[scenic dome]

You can make a function that calls apply_item like this:
<Code>
def make_item_button:
# code that makes button.
def my_item_callback(*args):
apply_item(item_name)

set the callback to my_item_callback

</Code>

[dawn quiver]

how can it get the item_name argument

[scenic dome]

The make_item_button function that makes the button needs to know the item_name.

[dawn quiver]

alright

[hot willow]

I joined last night, I do have some questions when I get a second, I will ask there.

[oak bay]

Hi, I'm somewhat sure I should ask this question here: I use pygame to create a fullscreen application that is clickthrough, so that I can have something displayed on the desktop while I still work with it.
Now, recently the behaviour changed so that when I click on other windows, the fullscreen application goes into background. It should stay at the top with the window attribute HWND_TOPMOST and me calling it into focus everytime the mouse moves or a button is pressed. But it just won't.

[oak bay]

I'm asking this in the pygame discord. Don't answer :)

Hey @grim abyss!

It looks like you tried to attach file type(s) that we do not allow (.mkv). 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.

yo friends

i wanna set the taskbar icon

in pygame

?

it always comes default

how can i change that

ping me if u all know the solution

thanks

[dawn quiver]

Well you can change the window icon with pygame.display.set_icon

The taskbar icon is the application which is running

Which is CPython

So I only change it in releases, after packaging it as a native binary with pyinstaller, and the passing that exe into a setup wizard tool like izzo wizard, then I specify the icon I want

[vivid hinge]

Hello, I'm learning pygame and would like to know what the best way to handle to player sprites on the same screen is. I'd like them to have separate inputs. Thanks!

[potent ice]

Normally with multiplayer you use the gamepads

[potent ice]

You can also split the keyboard in two or something. AWSD for player 1, arrow keys for player 2

[old hill]

Does someone know how I can convert my pygame project into an executable file? I know I can create such files with pyinstaller but the script can't find files to load.
I would be really happy if someone could help me.

[arctic loom]

hi guys, i've created a 2d hockey game and implemented the physics by hand in python. What library would you recommend to display the game ? I would only need to draw the stadium, the players (which are discs) and the ball

have checked ursina and find it pretty neat, do you think using it is fine or is there a better alternative for my use?

[lunar venture]

I think any graphics library is good for this type of game

Honestly, even tkinter unless it doesn't look good enough for you, because I know that it sucks at quickly redrawing shapes (haven't checked images, but it's probably the same)

If you can, make the game using all of the libraries you think are good and compare what you like

[arctic loom]

ok i see, thanks for the quick answer, will start with ursina. I have remade the game also in C# and Unity and I liked it, and since Ursina kinda looks close to it, I'll try it first and maybe others will follow if I have time

For some reason it gives really nice vibes, is that your art?

[dawn quiver]

nope, but i saw this on pixabay and itch.io and i was like "what is that doing outside of a game?" and just put it in. i could have made my own art, but i'm kinda attached to the little owl guy.

pygame vs pyglet for a top down 2d game

vs any other that is fast and has good support for 2d

[sage cloak]

loooks great

[dawn quiver]

thanks!

[potent ice]

pygame, pyglet, arcade and ursina

Kind of sorted from low to high level

pygame can run on more platforms and hardware. The rest are gpu based. Pick what makes sense for you

[desert forge]

all i want is speed and not multi platform compatibility

the fastest with least amount of work to do on physics would be the best

but all i have used is pygame and ursina so i am not sure about the other libs

[potent ice]

Then arcade or ursina

[desert forge]

2d 2d

ursina is mostly 3d

[potent ice]

You can use it for 2D as well.

[desert forge]

but wont it hurt the performance

[potent ice]

No

[desert forge]

intresting

i thought they did 2d on 3d renderer same as what unity does

[potent ice]

Should not make much of a difference

I would just look at both arcade and ursina and pick one.

[desert forge]

arcade is something that i heard for the first time

[potent ice]

I suspect usrina might be a bit faster, but it might be faster to get something up and running with arcade.

Both support custom shaders and whatnot.

https://www.ursinaengine.org/
https://api.arcade.academy/en/latest/

[royal hawk]

The best thing to describe me as would probably be a deer in the headlights waiting to be run over. I'm completely clueless on what needs to be done in game development. I don't know crap about rendering, about networking, about anything in its mother's name.

Can someone please save my life?

Oh thank god someone is here

[potent ice]

Take a look at arcade if you are beginner : https://api.arcade.academy/en/latest/

There is also a link to the arcade discord server on the front page

Lots of docs and tutorials

[royal hawk]

Can I explain my situation for you, so that I can get more personalized recommendations? If not that's okay.

[potent ice]

Go ahead

[royal hawk]

I started out with Java, and I got quite used to it because I have a pretty nifty IntelliJ environment setup with a snazzy theme aptly named "Fireworks".

All was well, until one day

I realized I needed to bid goodbye to the terminal (not necessarily, logging is prime)

And I turned to Swing, Java's second-in-line GUI toolkit

Oh god

[potent ice]

That still exists? I used that in like 1998.

[royal hawk]

It does, it does.

[potent ice]

There are lots of resources for learning sockets and/or websockets with python if you look around. Why not start with that?

Set up vscode with python plugin or use pycharm

[royal hawk]

I will start with a project right now, do you mind looking through it and help me (little bits here and there)?

[potent ice]

#editors-ides ?

Just ask in the appropriate channels when you need help. Whatever is related to game development goes here.

[royal hawk]

Oh I realized I'm filling this entire channel up. Sorry, thank you for your help man.

[potent ice]

No problem. Just ask when you get in trouble and you'll be fine. Don't worry about filling the channel.

[keen phoenix]

Do you know any simple Panda3D tutorials? That library is very complicated for me

[potent ice]

Then use Ursina and slowly learn panda3d through that?

You can look at the ursina source code as well to understand how things are working

[keen phoenix]

So I guess Ursina is easier?

[potent ice]

Yes, A layer over panda3d

.. making it much more reasonable to work with

If you want to use Panda3D I would just use Ursina, it's really performant and well done

[dawn quiver]

PyGame + PyOpenGL

[dawn quiver]

Cool stuff!

Dari gets to use jetpacks now

        if self.countdown < 10:
            color = "green"
        if self.countdown < 5:
            color = "yellow"
        if self.countdown < 3:
            color = "red"

hmmm yes very good code
Now that I think about it, I wonder what a nicer way to achieve that would be

[dawn quiver]

No clue if this works

def Colour():
    switcher = {
        0: "green",
        1: "yellow",
        2: "red",
    }
if self.countdown < 10:
   Colour=0
elif self.countdown < 5:
   Colour=1
elif self.countdown < 3:
   Colour=2

Maybe a nice little lambda

countdown_colors = {
    "green": range(5, 10),
    "yellow": range(3, 5),
    "red": range(1, 3)
}
return_color = lambda countdown: sorted([color if countdown in c_range else "" for color, c_range in countdown_colors.items()])[-1]

[dawn quiver]

You aren't using your Colour function though

My bad

[pine plinth]

Wtf is that
Why are you assigning to function? Why u use global variable self? Also if countdown<10 u always get Colour==0, u never fall into second and third if

[pine plinth]

sorted is slow for this purpose

[dawn quiver]

I know, that was an overcomplicated light hearted solution.

Even if my actual code is more basic, that's better, it is simpler & easier to understand. And performs the task much faster.

[pine plinth]

lambda countdown: next(color for color, rng in countdown_colors.items() if countdown in rng, None)```

This is faster, because it doesnt create list and doesnt sort it

[dawn quiver]

Still slower than the plain 3 if statements.

[dawn quiver]

^

[pine plinth]

Yes, but it is more configurable

[dawn quiver]

Because I didn't know better ✨

[dawn quiver]

I don't see why this particular system would need further configuration.

[pine plinth]

More colors?)

Changing ranges?

For what? The 2-1 second range?

It doesn't make much sense, and I'd still argue my solution(the code that is being used) is more readable & easier to understand.

There is no point on over-optimising or over-engineering something so simple

[dawn quiver]

Was this a lighthearted solution?

[dawn quiver]

Yeah, I didn't spend more than 10 seconds on it

No I was asking if you would genuinely write code that way, or if you were using sarcasm/satire.

Just saw you weren't using elif so I threw it out there

Oh no, I wouldn't

elif wouldn't make sense here. But also @pine plinth made some good points

Anyways I'm off to bed now

GN

If I were to write something I'd definitely spend more time on actually looking into the best method

Goodnight

[cyan lark]

I'm making a game for my coding class, what would be something not that difficult

im thinking about doing go fish

[dawn quiver]

Flappy Bird?

I know a Minecraft clone in Ursina is really easy to make as well

Clear Code has a lot of really good tutorials

I recommend either PyGame, Ursina, or UPBGE (Blender) as your engine

You can also use Godot with Python I think, but that’s more complicated

I think the more extravagant the engine, the more impressive of a game you can make without too much effort

[cyan lark]

thank you ill try my hand out in these

[serene inlet]

Game development channel how would I start making my own pixel art for characters?

I realized I can code a bit but have no images of my own I can use to create characters

[dawn quiver]

Tool wise I'd recommend either gimp or photopea, both are decent
Rest is just practice, as long as it is original I dont really care much about whether it looks good, I try to make it look good within the game

Also I would probably recommend starting with a low res

16x16 could be a good start

Keeping your pixels consistent is pretty important when making a nice looking game, so dont scale indiviudal sprites

[teal gulch]

Can someone introduce me to game dev

[potent ice]

You could look at arcade : https://api.arcade.academy/en/latest/

It's a very beginner friendly library with lots of example code and docs

[dawn quiver]

pygame loves nature

[glossy rose]

Clone of Battle Realms?

[dawn quiver]

nope

[glossy rose]

I would like to do a clone of Battle Realms but im not development 😢

I start to study pygame

[sick widget]

@glossy rosehello

[glossy rose]

Hello

[grim abyss]

more grass please!

[grim abyss]

*surely * some of those leaves from the trees have fallen on the ground?

[dawn quiver]

how much? it's literally growing on the house, but ig it would be fun to cover the house entirely

[dawn quiver]

nope

but i'm planning to add that actually

[grim abyss]

leaves on the ground = more immersive scene

[dawn quiver]

hmm ur right

how's this?

its horrible isn't it 😦

[potent ice]

I would focus on the bigger picture. Leave the polish for later

[dawn quiver]

Looks great!

[keen phoenix]

Ok, thank you very much!

[vagrant sierra]

Im having a hard time coming up with fun little game ideas and google aint helping me much. All i can find is things like "observer the world around you", "make a mindmap" or something like that. Does anyone have any advice for me?

Pls ping me when respondig btw

[tranquil girder]

kind of hard when you never say what the problem is :|

[earnest cloud]

Less a question about game development as it is about pygame in general, but has anyone attempted to simulate accurate kinematics before? Kinetic energy always decreases in collisions, even though they are perfectly elastic. The only reason I can assume this happens is simply because pygame is too slow when detecting collisions between bodies. Do I need to do this in C?

[normal silo]

You don't need to do it in C.

[vapid wagon]

Little question guys, do you know how to do HTTP Requests with Threads and that it can give the result text to the normal Pygame loop?

[latent stone]

Whenever you model a continuous process iteratively, you will have inaccuracies. To get something closer to the truth, you could decrease the time interval between calculations, or use what you know the KE should be to adjust the results of your calculations at each step.

[serene inlet]

Thanks

[toxic widget]

how much knowledge of python does it take to start pygame and how far can we go with pygame

[dawn quiver]

it takes a decent bit of knowledge about python; you need to know object oriented programming (i would recommend the tech with tim tutorial on it), some basic physics concepts like delta time, you need to learn to use spitesheets (and maybe animated gifs which i use) in pygame, and one of the most common systems to store data in python is using json, so you'll probably have to learn how to use json as well unless you're using some other system to store game data. you should also obviously know how to define and use functions and global variables.

as for how far you can go with pygame, pretty much anything that can be imagined in 2d (or 3d if you're really going to push the limits of pygame, although i would recommend using a game engine for large 3d games) can be done with it

[dawn quiver]

this whole animation was in pygame, which i made by playing many gifs simultaneously on the screen

[dawn quiver]

Oh isn't this those planets from itch.io

[dawn quiver]

I mean you can go pretty far with pygame, it's less about the tool and more about how you use it

Here's the project I'm working on ^

(Using PyGame)

The art & music is original, my IRL friend does some of the art and all of the audio

I write the code

There are better projects out there, I've seen a lot of amazing stuff being done by the devs in the PyGame community discord server

As for prerequisites I'd say understanding some control flow, being familiar with carrying data across functions and instances of your custom types, and generally being familiar with how you handle paths in Python can help a lot(most loading functions, image.load and pygame.mixer.Sound follow a very generic pattern)

They even support pathlib.Path objects

I've made two contributions to the PyGame repository now, nothing too grand one of them was refactoring an example(pygame.examples.textinput) and the one I made more recently is removing some Python 2 support

https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/3050
https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/3194

[dawn quiver]

yeah

made with an open source planet generator tool

Yeah I saw another cool project using those

https://deep-fold.itch.io/pixel-planet-generator

Oop I forgot this server's upload limit is 8mb because it is partnered

discord's upload limit is 8mb except for nitro users

Nope.

Level 2 servers get 50MB uploads, and level 3 servers get 100MB uploads.

Shall we move to OT?

hmm k

[dawn quiver]

cool

[scenic dome]

If you have more than one physics object no "simple" solution such as "reverse the velocity on collision" works well and a complex physics engine such as pybullet is needed. But the downside is they are imperfect: objects can press into eachother a little and they tend to jitter around in a stack (sometimes objects are automatically paused when they settle down, but you usually see some minor artifact).
So it's up to the constraints of your game what you want to do.

[proper peak]

Forever losing kinetic energy on collisions is a bit weird, and might mean you need something like CCD to accurately calculate the collision point

the best way would be to use a proper physics engine, one that has CCD as a feature

[warm fjord]

Hello everyone, I am new here. I just finished my game and I want to know what you guys think of it. I spent a lot of time working on the style so I hope you at least like it. It is called "I Am Sorry" because it is about re-gaining trust from someone in the game! Here is the trailer: http://bit.do/I-Am-Sorry . Honest opinions please, even if it is harsh.

[dawn quiver]

Woah thats nice.

[dawn quiver]

Anyone can help me display a text inside of the pygame window?

Something like this?
How would I put "Super Mario Bros."?

[icy valve]

exactly as in this image?

[dawn quiver]

No just need it to display text

[icy valve]

i know 2 forms

[solid bison]

you could just take a screenshot of that text and display it

[grim abyss]

https://pygame.readthedocs.io/en/latest/4_text/text.html

[icy valve]

1 dysplaying text for a text dialog but ju have to adjust yourself to to fonts of hte system

[dawn quiver]

im making my own title screne but now that I think abt it, that could probably work.

[icy valve]

2 making the words 1 by 1 and puting in the dysplay as objects

[dawn quiver]

Ty

I have like 50 tabs open rn, so stressed

[icy valve]

let me send you and image of how looks in my game the text

[dawn quiver]

👍

[icy valve]

i cant run my game right now im in windows and dont have the libraries here

[dawn quiver]

its fine

[icy valve]

o well look at this it seem this wasnt so bad to upgrade to run my game in windows

the big words cant be seen bacause of my monitor resolution

[dawn quiver]

Ah

[frozen knoll]

You can often do a lot of algorithmic tricks that will buy you more speed than C. For example, the Arcade library offers options to use spatial hashing. Arcade also lets you off-load collision detection to the GPU if you have a lot of moving objects.

[dawn quiver]

IDk what I even want to make honestly

I have a vivid idea

Main Screen So Far

Simple since I dont even know what I want to make yet

[grim abyss]

Time for a "bullet hell" shoot em up game. I love Thunder Force from the genesis...

[dawn quiver]

I remember a game that was all about bullets

it was fun

Enter the Gungeon

[grim abyss]

Thunder Force 4

[icy valve]

i made a game it also has coffe as a principal mecanic

[dawn quiver]

Idk what to make

I wanted to make something like a 2D horror game as a barista

something similar to the closing shift game

[icy valve]

in my case a made a game about economy using coffe as a reference of a price and how the money can goes up or down basiclly wallstreet simulator

[icy valve]

so 2d horror game as barista so you have to make coffe for your clients but were is the horror in the concept?

making coffe ok not dificult

maybe someting like the minigames of fnaf

[dawn quiver]

You work the night shift and a customer comes in the game but later in the game you find out he starts stalking you and then even later in the game you find out that the locked door behind the cafe is where he sleeps. Then he trys to aggressivly kill you while you investigate.

But I might just make something else

[icy valve]

ok sounds easy to program but long to create

good concept a little cliche but fine

the story could be good and intersting

you have to give the characters carisma to be good characters

even the bad ones

and you wanted to make this in python3 or 2?

[dawn quiver]

Thats what im saying

I usually have genius game ideas but not today

[icy valve]

dont worry that is how inspiration works

im developing harware to make my game in vr

the game you saw is just a matematical prototype to see if i can make a 3d worl even in a 2d vition and to see how much easy is to make

now i have to move it to unity or godot in vr and made the animations and finish to write the story

[dawn quiver]

wow

[icy valve]

its just the must for making my idea comes true

i had working for the last 3 years just to buy the oculus quest 2 and a computer can run vr decentlly

[dawn quiver]

figures

[crimson pelican]

I keep getting the error "TypeError: points must be number pairs" when trying to draw 3d polygons using pygame.draw

[icy valve]

i tink i the example they are using a number end in 5 or 3

change it

the errors means you need to make a poligon whit dimentions ending in pair number

2 4 6 8

[crimson pelican]

so I need to check if it ends with 5 or 3 and then change it to a pair number?

[grim abyss]

A point in 3D space must consist of {X: 100, Y: 250, Z: 325} so three coordinates. X, Y, and Z is a single point...

[crimson pelican]

Ik but whenever I try to load a obj file it says that

[grim abyss]

how are you loading the obj file?

is it a obj file outputted from Blender?

[crimson pelican]

no

[grim abyss]

ok...

[crimson pelican]

its just a file with code inside it

[dawn quiver]

Hey can anyone explain me why pygame.Surface increases the size of images

after we render it on whole Main Window

by pygame.transfrom.scale method

[icy valve]

maybe it has to be whit the scale

trin in the scale 1

[dawn quiver]

You want to know the implementation behind pygame.transform.scale?

As given in the name, that function is supposed to scale the image.

So if you scale a pygame.Surface with a larger size, and then blit it on the display Surface, it will indeed be larger

[dawn quiver]

by how much does the size of image increases if we change the ratio of display_width and display_height by 1/2

It doesnt have to change. Depends on your set_mode configuration.

[dawn quiver]

Thanks for the help

[serene inlet]

@dawn quiver Thanks for helping before managed to make this simple pixel art

[dawn quiver]

with photopea? looks great!

[serene inlet]

I looked online for aseprite app was also recommended used that

and thank you

[dawn quiver]

aseprite is great yeah

[serene inlet]

But yeah the 16x16 was good advice

I'll start with simple shapes

But I just duplicated up to 64x64

[serene inlet]

I think I got carried away...

[ionic plume]

can someone help me with my pygame?
seems everyone is busy in the general chat and the I discovered this.

I struggle mostly with determining what goes in the while and for loops.
I'm trying to make a square move accross the screen.

import pygame
pygame.init()

#window

black = ((0,0,0))
white = ((255,255,255))

rect_x = 50
rect_x += 1
rect_y = 50
rect_y += 1
pygame.draw.rect(screen, white, [rect_x,rect_y,50,50])

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[grim abyss]

if you want to move something across the screen you need to update its coordinates on the screen in the game loop...

so call surface.blit(some_object, (n, n)) where n are the updated cordinates...

[grim abyss]

very neat! I see you're using Harfang. How is it? Performant?

[lyric pawn]

Thanks a lot 🙂 I have been using it for a few projects already and I find it a lot better than unity in terms of performances and render (unreal might be on top in terms of render but not performances), it also has a high level api in python and they are posting new tutorials very often. Their 3D Editor will also be released in a week or two.

[dawn quiver]

Cool stuff

[lyric pawn]

this is how I advanced so far, chunks system is well implemented, they do not load instantly to improve launchtime performance, I will be posting updates frequently here 😉

[snow hill]

how many cubes total ?

[lyric pawn]

The matrix containing the loaded world has 8 million entries (20x20x20 chunks of 10x10x10 blocks) and I do not know how many are rendered on this example

[echo wadi]

spooky in its applications

[dawn quiver]

Does anyone know if pygame will be hosting a community jam this year?

[dawn quiver]

The shadows 😩

[daring yacht]

is anyone here good with physics, especially rockets, and also proficient in pygame, if so dm me and I will give you the details of project

[serene inlet]

If someone uses aseprite and know how I can ignore transparent areas with the selection tool?

Also not using magic wand i'm trying to select an area and fill it in with color the whole picture right now is a solid color

[dawn quiver]

why doesn't this work?

def Button():
  if pygame.mouse.get_pressed(start_img):
    print('Clicked')

[grim abyss]

what is start_img ? you're not supposed to be passing that are you?

are you calling pygame.event.get() before that function?

[dawn quiver]

Oh, yeah I forgot to make it an event

[dawn quiver]

Its a sprite button

[grim abyss]

it's also an invalid parameter to be passing to that function...

[dawn quiver]

whats the diff between .get_grab() & .get

[dawn quiver]

So how would I tell the code that if this image is pressed print this?

[grim abyss]

what is the image? a sprite?

[dawn quiver]

yes

[grim abyss]

I'm not that well versed with PyGame but all you should need to do is check if the mouse is at anytime within the boundaries of the sprite and if the mouse button was clicked while within the sprite...

surely there's a method on the sprite that can help with this...is there a on_click method for sprites?

[dawn quiver]

I think they call it mouse.get_pressed()

[dawn quiver]

No

[grim abyss]

this should help...you need a rect though...

[dawn quiver]

pygame.Surfaces dont contain position related data

Instead, pass a position into your constructor

english?

[grim abyss]

which has nothing to do with sprites... mouse.get_pressed()

[dawn quiver]

Then create a rectangle around the image and set the center to that position

self.rect = img.get_rect(center=pos)

In the update method, you can check if it is being clicked on

if self.rect.collidepoint(pygame.mouse.get_pos()): 
    hover = True  # Might want to make this an attribute 

for event in events:  # Pass events to the update method
    if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN and hover: 
        print("I was clicked!)  # I normally make an is_clicked attribute 

[grim abyss]

there ya go ^^^

[dawn quiver]

ok

ill try it thx

You might want to consider using pygame.sprite.Sprites eventually, they are convenient

👍

[serene inlet]

Ball

[dawn quiver]

Looks great

I like the subtle glare on top

[serene inlet]

Thank you i'm trying to draw simple things and trying out shading I was never that great with drawing

The curve tool helps with perfect line shading

[dawn quiver]

Now it just keeps saying event is not defined U_U

[serene inlet]

?

[dawn quiver]

Share the code maybe

[dawn quiver]

def Button():
  pygame.event.get()
  if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
    print('I was Clicked!')

[grim abyss]

def Button():
  py_event = pygame.event.get()
  if py_event == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
    print('I was Clicked!')
``` ?

[dawn quiver]

honestly I think im just tired

No

pygame.event.get returns a sequence of events

[grim abyss]

oh lol

so you'll have to iterate over them...

[dawn quiver]

Which is pumped asynchronouslyin the background and given out between each call

[dawn quiver]

Yes, events is the output from pygame.event
get

I recommend a class for this @dawn quiver

[dawn quiver]

Honestly I dont undderstandc lasses I try to avoid them

Well you should have a decent understanding of how objects in python work if you want to use them from a framework

So I'd recommend Corey Schafer's tutorial series on YouTube

[grim abyss]

classes you need to understand. it's making it more difficult for you to interact with a library(PyGame in this case) because you lack this basic understanding...

[dawn quiver]

If you want, they also made pygame_gui

You can use buttons from there

[grim abyss]

@dawn quiver what's your opinion on Arcade?

or you haven't dabbled with it yet?

[dawn quiver]

Seems like a nice game framework

I don't like the false comparison page though, I've only drawn a circle with arcade before, so yeah I haven't really explored it

Going to be exploring ECS today

By making a little puzzle game

[grim abyss]

Yeah, I haven't really messed with PyGame or Arcade. Both seem interesting. ECS seems highly interesting...

[dawn quiver]

Would highly recommend esper if you are going to use ECS

[limpid lark]

Guys i am thinking of making a terminal game like the dino in Google

So is there a way to convert an image to ASCII format??

There are definitely more effective methods

Trying to make a square appear and move

@dawn quiver

[ionic plume]

What's wrong with my code?
I can make a shape appear but not move on its own.

Or move the text slightly up and down like a grainy horror movie

[serene inlet]

Why's your fps so low?

Also not sure how you can see anything the update and others are outside the game while loop

[ionic plume]

Oh im following a tutorial that set fps that way.
If it rings a bell, on YouTube,

"Professor Craven"

[serene inlet]

hm

If I were you i'd set it at a normal fps maybe 60

Everything would be slower

[ionic plume]

Okay. Still doesn't move my little square.

[wraith flax]

Why its black

[ionic plume]

Oh uh, put the:

rect_x = 50
rect_y = 50
rect_x += 1
rect_y += 1

And


Pygame.draw.rect(screen, green,[rect_x, rect_y, 50, 50])
pygame.display.update()
clock.tick(60)

in the while loop.

And that's as far as I've gotten. 😔

terrain generation is getting better and better 🙂

[grim abyss]

I'm impressed with your project. Your math-fu must be strong indeed...

@lyric pawn increase the draw distance.

it looks like there is LOD...

[lyric pawn]

I do run it in AAA mode with the Harfang Engine so yeah I guess there is some sort of LOD, and there is an integrated frustum culling using the engine's nodes

[grim abyss]

are the hills composed out of individual blocks?

[lyric pawn]

And I am not that good at maths haha but thanks 😉

Yes they are all individual blocks

    surface.blit(self.image, (self.rect.x, self.rect.y))
    pos = pygame.mouse.get_pos()

    if self.rect.collidepoint(pos):
      if pygame.mouse.get_pressed()[0] == 1:

i'm participating in the metroidvania month game jam... this is level 1 for my game

there's an optional theme for the jam (shapeshifting) which i'm applying to the game
and no story, cuz this is for a game jam and i have like a couple of weeks or less to finish the whole thing

[dawn quiver]

also, i'm making this whole game in pygame
just to show those people talking about game engines being somehow way more capable than pygame for 2d games and acting like pygame is of no use for serious commercial projects (there are a lot of people online who act like pygame somehow won't cut it for commercial games)

[dawn quiver]

haha

I'm okay at physics

especially rockets

[dawn quiver]

what does that mean

[cedar steeple]

Just need suggestion

[next iris]

Wow, how did you do that?

[lyric pawn]

I am generating the terrain by passing the x y z positions into a noise function, then choosing a material corresponding to it's value (the result from the noise function)

[next iris]

which library did you use for create this game?

[lyric pawn]

I am using the Harfang 3D Engine (pip install harfang) - https://harfang3d.com/en_US/

Anyone heard of this library? https://ppb.dev/

Was messing around with BeeWare and it mentioned it as a GUI library. I hadn't heard the name before

I'd heard of Ursina but not this

[potent ice]

Never tried it, but it looks very nicely designed. Performance might not be the best (but that might not be an issue). I'm guessing since they use SDL2 it could be a project that would actually be able to run on the web with WASM or other solutions.

More variance...is Perlin Noise doing this?

Could you show the noise function?

[lyric pawn]

Yup I am using a perlin noise 3 function

                                    y/scale, z/scale,
                                    octaves=octaves, 
                                    persistence=persistence, 
                                    lacunarity=lacunarity, 
                                    repeatx=1024, 
                                    repeaty=1024,
                                    repeatz=1024,  
                                    base=40)
                material = 0
                if v < -0.1:
                    material = 2 #water
                elif v < 0.02:
                    material = 1 #sand```

[grim abyss]

I'm curious what this would look like propagated around the inside of a sphere. Think inside of a cave but larger...in the frame...

With the water of course...

Same light level. Maybe a touch darker

[proper peak]

that'd be a little hard since you'd need a 2d perlin noise that's periodic over a sphere

[grim abyss]

It shouldn't be too difficult. As it stands the terrain propagates on the outer surface of a sphere? Is it naive to think its just a matter to invert the propagation to the inner surface?

But scaled down so you can see it "wrapping" up over your head....

Idk know much about perlin noise with 3D so....

[proper peak]

As it stands the terrain propagates on the outer surface of a sphere?
wait, is it a sphere?

[grim abyss]

When you say "...need a 2d perlin noise that's periodic over s sphere" I have no idea lol

[proper peak]

the picture looks flat to me, I don't see any global curvature

[grim abyss]

He's not up high enough 😛

[proper peak]

If you just do 2d perlin noise over a rectangle and wrap that rectangle around a sphere, there'll be a discontinuity between the former left and right sides (because why would the left side of a perlin noise rectangle be similar to the right side?)

[grim abyss]

So perlin noise is rectangular?

Of course it is. 2d

[proper peak]

ah, there we go. TIL that apparently, this is a known problem and what you do to solve it, instead of figuring out a periodical noise function, is to generate a 3d noise field of which you'll only use a tiny part:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/14058306

that seems to be what Clem is doing, hence 3d noise despite generating a 2d surface

[grim abyss]

I would try to use the "poles" instead of the center of the sphere...

[lyric pawn]

That would be hard to do

I will explain the way I have done it

I have started by using 2d noise and creating a color map (you might want to read this first : https://medium.com/@yvanscher/playing-with-perlin-noise-generating-realistic-archipelagos-b59f004d8401)

Then i used the 3d noise function (noise2 -> noise3), took the value of the noise * 100, and for each chunk i check if the y value is close to the rounded noise * 100 and if yes, i decide to put a block here and choose the material the same way (noise value)

[grim abyss]

"3d sphere inner surface terrain generation" and "perline noise terrain generation inner surface of 3d sphere" I have googled. Why are there no images of this showing up?

[lyric pawn]

What you want to do, is generate the world and limit the generation to the radius of a sphere right ?

[grim abyss]

yeah that's what I'm talking about (don't bet on me doing it anytime soon though, lol) along the diameter of the sphere on the inside...

[cold cloud]

idk if this is the right place to come but I really want to learn pygame on the side to help with my programming skills (currently use a game maker to make games but want to switch) whats the best way to go about doing this, I already know python

[grim abyss]

pip install pygame then https://www.pygame.org/docs/

[cold cloud]

thanks

[solid bison]

is the font supposed to be like that

like changing

otherwise the buttons look cool

[dawn quiver]

yeah

cuz the game is about shapeshifting

[grim abyss]

it's a lil off putting ain't it...

[grim abyss]

would be cooler if the font morphed in place

[solid bison]

Turn the bullets into muffins

Then name it "Muffin Defence" or something like that

Works every time

[grim abyss]

what's all that jittering along the X axis on the platforms when the player character stops moving? it's subtle but noticeable... looking good though! 🙂

[solid bison]

You should render the player at the same Y level the chests are at to make it blend in more

[grim abyss]

@lyric pawn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZFv493D7jo

[grim abyss]

cool video

change the bullets into smart rounds. there's the typical tracer rounds ofc. napalm rounds that spew fire everywhere upon impact. liquid fire no less... explosive rounds. "grounding rod" rounds which create a path for a lighning bolt from the sky to hit! you could have variations on these for days...

[grim abyss]

http://www.pymunk.org/en/latest/index.html

[lyric pawn]

I have done it using the Harfang 3D Engine, generating the world from perlin noise then creating chunk models and materials depending on the noise value. Each chunk is a node (chunk size is 10 by default but is fully customizable) and the engine has an integrated frustum culling using nodes. If you want to check the code or learn more about the way I have done it my DM’s are open 😉

!d pygame.mouse.get_pressed

[frank field]

pygame.mouse.get\_pressed

pygame.mouse.get_pressed()```
 get the state of the mouse buttons get\_pressed(num\_buttons=3) -> (button1, button2, button3) get\_pressed(num\_buttons=5) -> (button1, button2, button3, button4, button5)  Returns a sequence of booleans representing the state of all the mouse buttons. A true value means the mouse is currently being pressed at the time of the call.

Note, to get all of the mouse events it is better to use either `pygame.event.wait()` or `pygame.event.get()` and check all of those events to see if they are `MOUSEBUTTONDOWN`, `MOUSEBUTTONUP`, or `MOUSEMOTION`.

Note, that on `X11` some X servers use middle button emulation. When you click both buttons `1` and `3` at the same time a `2` button event can be emitted.

The art is questionable, but that's fine, this is just a test game to explore ECS with

I got some entities spawning, now to make them move!

This is probably the first game of mine in which the pixels are consistent, and I take advantage of the powerful pygame.SCALED flag.

[atomic tide]

Are y'all only able to create games using pygame w/ python, or are there any other platforms that let you use this language?

[lean cosmos]

@atomic tide if I'm right i think the game engine Godot has their own language called GDscript which is pretty much python, might go check that out I heard that its a pretty good engine for 2d games.

Ah neat, thanks @lean cosmos

[devout sparrow]

Hello, I have a question.

Is it possible to stop a function using the time module (time.sleep() command)? When I use time.sleep(x) in a function, it works, but it delays the whole program. Is there any way to make this apply only for a specific function, and not the entire program?

Example:

def object_animation():

if object.hit(player):
time.sleep(0.3) player # (The 'player' is supposed to be asleep/delayed in this instance, but it does not seem to work. I know this approach is wrong, but this was the only example I had in mind...)

Thank you in advance.

You can create a function that creates and restart all the variable

    p1 = Player()
    map_world = Map_World()
    score = 0

Oh no I mean is there any mobile game made by python.

[dawn quiver]

Many other options

Arcade for one

Pyglet, wasabi 2d

[vagrant saddle]

do you mean you want example with source code of a mobile app written in python, or you just want to know if it exists ( there are but they probably got converted with nuitka/cython to full binary )

[proud thorn]

Yeah I mean is there any 3D mobile game made by python.

Not source code or anything

[potent ice]

You could make a simple global event input system. Add all the objects that wants events to a queue or list and call a standard method on all the objects.

Start from the the most recently added object and move down the list or queue

Sure. You will have to keep track is states, but you can block the event for propagating down the system by returning a True or False value for example

Sure you can make your own system. The pygame events are super simple and really just exposes the underlying SDL2 events

A queue/list of objects wanting events is the simplest way at least. You can get pretty far with that.

It depends how complex it is of course.

You are already popping events from a queue in pygame/SDL

What matters is how you distribute the events

Maybe you are talking about signals?

emit_signal("stuff_happened", value)

Then some object can subscribe to "stuff_happened" and a method is called

That is the short story, but signals can be made in many ways

Emitting a signal will in effect notify every instance listening to it calling a function on them. That makes it easier to communicate with various parts of the code base

It can have some overhead depending on how many events and subscribers you have... like anything else

Usually you emit with a name and a value. The value can be a more complex object containing more information. A dict is probably fine if needed

Pygame or not doesn't matter. It should work anywhere 🙂

Yeah. It's something you make

The container for signals can just be a singleton / module unless you need something crazy complex.

Keep a dict with signal name and objects to notify or something

pygame.math.Vector2?

Just don't end up over-engineering. Try to simplify is possible 😄

If the instances needing events are more or less static it's a lot easier

The second you start needing weak references storing things that need events it has gotten out of hand

(Becase weakrefs are slooooow)

[potent ice]

https://docs.python.org/3/library/weakref.html

BUT.. they are maybe 4-5 slower to access. Usually not a problem, but if you access lots of them it can definitely matter

Especially in games were you need your 30 or 60 fps

It's part of the python standard library

Not that I know of.

.. but python garbage collector is pretty good. It will find and destroy objects with a circular reference if those two objects are not referenced by anything else.

yeah just look at your program as a chaotic tree of references. If some structure(s) are disconnected from that tree it will be gced

It's probably a lot more complicated, yes 😄

A python object itself has a reference counter.

It's probably a lot more complicated, yes. I don't know how it efficiently detects orphaned objects with circular refs

But it's definitely related to their connections in some way

It's things that are good to know about a least 🙂 (and fun to play with)

I have question which language is best for developing games? 2022.

[potent sleet]

it depends on what you mean by "best"

are you just wanting to make a small game yourself as a project? do you want to become a game developer at a large studio and so you are wondering what to learn? are you trying to target a specific platform/os/device? etc etc

if you want to make a game yourself, and you are just starting, Python is not a bad choice

[split thicket]

how do you normalize a vector?

[potent sleet]

you find a vector in the same direction of length one

divide it by it's magnitude (length) to scale it

do you know the Pythagorean theorem?

[split thicket]

I have this code:

target_vector = (math.sin(math.radians(self.angle)), math.cos(math.radians(self.angle)))
self.x += target_vector[0]/100
self.x += target_vector[1]/100```

I think the reason it's only going left or right no matter what I change the angle to is because i'm not normalizing

I want to be able to set the angle to zero and have it go right, 90 and have it go up, 180 left, 270 down, and 360 right again

i'm dividing by 100 to slow it down so I can see it

[potent sleet]

yeah, I dunno... I'll say that normalizing a vector won't change its direction, you might want to start a channel #❓｜how-to-get-help

[split thicket]

#help-pear

wait something isn't right, my target vector is this at 0

(1.0,0.0)```

but it's this at 90

(6.123233995736766e-17, 1.0)```

[normal silo]

self.x -> self.y last line.

[normal silo]

That is basically (0, 1.0). Floating point rounding errors and such.

Hey guys I have a code that I coded with Pygame and it is working on PyDroid3 (Python App for Android) Does someone know if I must use kivy module in my program to after pu my game into APK (using buildozer) ? Here is the code : github.com/EdouardVincent/The-Cube

[vagrant saddle]

maybe you could make it mobile+web with pygame-wasm

[torn jackal]

Actually I would like to put it on PlayStore

And for that I have to put it into apk

[vagrant saddle]

then you need only python-for-android a subproject of kivy

[torn jackal]

Mmmh

Whr can I find the documentation ?

[vagrant saddle]

https://python-for-android.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

[torn jackal]

Thanks man

[vagrant saddle]

it may require linux

[torn jackal]

Oh okay

Do u think it's working on rpi4?

[vagrant saddle]

i don't think there's android ndk for arm/arm64

[torn jackal]

What is it 😅

[vagrant saddle]

the google compiler toolchain to build cpython for android

[torn jackal]

Mmh okay

[vagrant saddle]

there are no ready made binary for cpython with pygame atm

beeware does not have pygame, neither panda3d so you need python-for-android build with pygame option

[torn jackal]

Woaw you look now everything about that, thanks à lot

[dawn quiver]

i looking for group/team who want to pygamejam

[mint zenith]

@maiden heath You need to indent the try:except at the end so it goes under the if statement. Right now it's outside the if statement, so it's executed when any key is pressed.

Since today HARFANG 3D 3.2.2 is available on Pypi for Linux (Intel) machines, using a simple pip install harfang.
Please note that you will need the following packages on your system, though:

• ubuntu: uuid-dev, libreadline-dev, libxml2-dev, libgtk-3-dev
• centos/fedora: uuid-devel, readline-devel, libxml2-devel, gtk3-devel

Hello i am a new python learner and i am in the part of my book where i learn about pygames can someone help me set up pygame

[dry crescent]

go to the docs

https://pygame.org

[lyric gale]

Hello

[dry crescent]

https://github.com/pygame/pygame/releases/tag/2.0.0

python3 -m pip install pygame

[lyric gale]

does anyone have a video demonstrating real projects made in pygame?

[dry crescent]

sure

you can also check out the website

[ruby cobalt]

ok thank you < 3

[dry crescent]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxwO1wyz50w

[split thicket]

how do you check if a line intersects a circle in pygame?

[vagrant saddle]

better than video, you could try some pygame games directly in browser thank to pygame wasm port see https://pmp-p.github.io/pygame-wasm/ and https://pmp-p.itch.io/stuntcat

[split thicket]

what if I turned the line into a very thin pygame rect?

could I then use a built in pygame collision function on the rect and the circle?

[cedar steeple]

Does anyone have a video related to how to make a chess game in python

[normal silo]

Project the circle center onto the line, then check if the point on the line is also on the line segment specifically (rather than just somewhere on the infinite line). Then check if the distance between the projected point on the line segment and the circle's center is less than or equal to the radius, if it is, it's colliding.

[split thicket]

thanks for your help, but I figured that out. I would like to pick your brain on some Q learning concepts I'm struggling with in the data-science channel though

if that's cool

[normal silo]

Just ask the questions in the DS channel, I may answer them.

[split thicket]

ok

[paper spindle]

does anyone have any good resources on how to make a moving object look like its falling when its moving vertically on a 2d plane

so if I have a ball that moves vertically (but its technically moving forward from the perspective), how do I program the movement so it looks like its falling in its trajectory

[grim abyss]

ok say that again?

lol

[grim abyss]

???

[potent ice]

Like simple gravity?

[torn jackal]

@vagrant saddle hey I am putting my game into APK but I get an error and it asked me to upgrade Python at the 3.6 version at least. Do u know how 2 do that on rpi4 ??

[vagrant saddle]

no, you should try the buildozer vm

[torn jackal]

buildozer vm ?

[vagrant saddle]

well it should have been there https://kivy.org/doc/stable-1.10.1/guide/packaging-android-vm.html#

[torn jackal]

okay and do u think it s gonna to supress the error

[vagrant saddle]

i'm quite sure you cannot build p4a on a rpi4 in a simple way, you should use a linux virtual machine or ask for android help in kivy discord

[torn jackal]

okay thank u very much

[vagrant saddle]

and anyway python3.7 is the minimal version for p4a, 3.6 never supported android with google ndk

[torn jackal]

do u have a link to join kivy discord ?

[vagrant saddle]

https://discord.gg/HzBVAdGY

[torn jackal]

thanks !

Hi gamedevs! I made a library that might be good for game development. It is for handling OpenGL 3.3 in a bit more robust way than just using opengl directly.
It is available on pypi https://pypi.org/project/zengl/. there are plentry of examples in the github repo.

[grim abyss]

interesting...

[shell scroll]

ty!

[lilac siren]

It looks so dope!

Hello

i looking for the way to program the viewer for loading the 3d model?

how could i do it?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fqf_84YgtPc&t=41s

i want to do a similar desktop pet to this goose

but using the 3d model

how could i load the 3d model first?

can u help me with this pls?

[old hinge]

Please help, I'm studying beginner python and this assignment is due tommorow, can someone please tell me the proper coding for this because I genuinely have no idea how to do this

[abstract gull]

hi! does anybody here has a similar code to the game 4 pics 1 word?

thank you!

[lyric pawn]

(W.I.P) Automatic chunk loading system, loads chunks around the player within a block range, will add a chunk limit tomorrow and a system to delete chunks that are too far/not in the frustum, and if there are no chunks to load it will automatically expand until limit is attained.

[keen phoenix]

What engine are you using? Pure OpenGL or maybe Panda3D?
