pyweek-game-jam

[lilac fern]

I prefer story and gameplay over graphics. Probably none of my favorite games have outstanding graphics.

[lofty marten]

Same

[lilac fern]

I have finished my game
https://youtu.be/04alBvihDqk

[lofty marten]

but gameplay is what matters :D

[lofty marten]

time to take a look*

It's like, simple but I like it, specially the intro

Looks neat!

[lilac fern]

thanks

[lilac fern]

How are the entries tested?
My project requires three dependencies: pip install pyglet==2.0.7 zengl==1.13.0 pyglm==2.7.0
I was not sure how to include those.
What is the proper way to package the final game?
I have a single asset file and a single main.py
I have uploaded it as a zip and noted the dependencies in the description.

[arctic rover]

how do you join a team?

[karmic scroll]

It is customary to have a requirements.txt containing the dependencies, and document the use of pip + requirements.txt in your readme.

Or manual procedure in lieu of pip.

Pyweek conventions predate that pep

[tribal lintel]

do I have to submit my game with a license?

[vapid oak]

Solo or team?

[safe ember]

Pygame is good for graphic devlopment ?
And python + pygame is good or not ?

[tiny zinc]

Python + pygame????

What do you mean by that?

[safe ember]

implement pygame in python code for the graphics side of video games

[tiny zinc]

There is another way to implement pygame apart from using python?

[safe ember]

I don't know

[safe ember]

I don't know but the question is: is it practical to use pygame for video games or is there another more complete library?

[tiny zinc]

Haven't ever made games but I have used pygame before and it looks pretty good for anything graphics related. Some even use it for physics simulation.

At the moment, I cannot think of anything inherently wrong with pygame.

[safe ember]

Ok thank you for the answer😉

[neon iron]

Pygame is pretty popular, in part because it's so old. Imo pygame lacks a few things. Programs lack a clear structure: you can have drawing code next to logic next to input handling. Also I don't believe they have official support for tools like Tiled for making levels. Lastly there's no official physics engine, and you end up building up a lot of stuff on your own.

It's certainly possible to make games with it, but in my opinion it's more practical to use a library with more support for physics engines/map creators and that provides more structure. Arcade is my go-to for python

[safe ember]

Ok thank you, so you use arcade with python ?

[neon iron]

I do yeah

[safe ember]

Ok thank you

[safe ember]

@neon iron do you know where to find open source code to have an example of video game code?

[lilac fern]

Solo! Spent 5 adventurous days and a half day extra to wrangle with a stubborn audio bug that had a wicked sense of humor.

[onyx basin]

yehyehyeh I'n done daaawwwwgs

and now I'm drinking all the absinth

this pyweek was a total hoot

I wish I knew about it sooner so I could prepare and had the 2 extra days but I really like my weird entry

it's all MEMEOOWWWOOOENEONOWONWONWONWONW

[lilac fern]

I cannot really use discord well so here it goes:

I am trying the already submitted entries one by one and found zwerver's entry having only panda3d in the requirements.txt to fail with:

Installing collected packages: panda3d
Successfully installed panda3d-1.10.13.post1

> python main.py
Known pipe types:
  wglGraphicsPipe
(all display modules loaded.)
Assertion failed: vi == get_num_vertices() at line 236 of c:\buildslave\sdk-windows-amd64\build\panda\src\gobj\geomLinestrips.cxx

I could not DM and found no user here with that name.
Maybe it is just my machine, but I hope it helps.

[turbid saddle]

hi

how do u link ur pyweek entry as an url

i am doing it for the first time

[severe dagger]

.... I tried... I look forward to trying others

[bright stone]

wow this is cool

[deep crystal]

I'm happy to test anybody's game for bugs now (I'm on Ubuntu with Python 3.10). Let me know!

[ashen thistle]

Totally failed to actually get something playable by the deadline this week, but I learned a ton and this was great practice

[karmic scroll]

Python and pygame are a good marriage. I think it's especially great for beginners. I agree with Anonymous, it has shortcomings. But a) you won't miss them as a beginner, and b) I found the lack to be a benefit to me, because the lack forced me to research and learn to do things that may have been handed to me effortlessly by another lib: software design patterns, 2D physics, media formats, data structures, algorithms, etc. Depending on your prowess, you could be up and coding a game within days, a couple weeks at the most. pygame.org has plenty of examples and recent projects to learn from.

[karmic scroll]

If you would test Linux, please. And thank you. 🙂
https://pyweek.org/e/GD-36/

Let me know if you want the same.

[karmic scroll]

pygame.org. Also, there are tutorials available on the web site, and web search may turn up more.

[rain bane]

to whomever made "Unknown Space" I have no idea how to play but this probably isn't how

[deep crystal]

Cool, I got it to work, just had to fix a capitalization issue resourcegame.py:80 should say fship.png. Also the README just looks like a placeholder. I don't know if you were going to have one with more info.

[karmic scroll]

Thanks. I'll fix that filename case. We will have a real readme, yes. 👍

[safe ember]

Ok thank you 🙂

[vapid oak]

How did it go guys?

[deft ember]

it's fun but a lot of work

[vapid oak]

Oo

What did you make?

[deft ember]

i'll do it again

[deft ember]

im in a team
made a platformer in arcade 💪

[vapid oak]

Okay

I was also in a team and made the bullet hell

[deft ember]

noice 💯

[safe ember]

Hi, Does anyone know how to put a game you created on the play store or apple store?

[vapid oak]

Nah

[lilac fern]

@hollow grove Hi, i couldn't find your repo on github to make a PR. you might want to change the slashes in the Player.py "assets\shoot\shoot.wav"

[onyx basin]

that's me, it's fixed now thanks!

[upper plume]

To get a game on the Google play store, you have to buy a play store license and then have your game (has to be Apk) approved to be on the play store. I don't know about apple app store tho

[safe ember]

Ok thank you

[onyx basin]

some really excellent looking entries this time round. Good job everyone!

[neon iron]

Whew, long week but I'm glad we ended up with a finished game this time around. Great job to everyone else who participated!

[onyx basin]

and always cool to see always returning names :) tee, mit-mit, cosmologicon, the gummbum gang

congrats @neon iron

having something to submit is the biggest reward

[neon iron]

Now time for the fun part of playing everyone else's games

[upper plume]

I was gonna do the competition but I got busy with stuff so I didn't get to participate this time. Hopefully next spring I can

[tribal lintel]

Hey sorry, I forgot to add the repo to the entry, I'll change the slashes, does the game still work?

[vapid oak]

(a new face joined the gummbum gang (me))

in no time I will be a returning name

[karmic scroll]

Unable to connect to pyweek.org. Anyone else?

[deft ember]

me too

bing noped out

[karmic scroll]

@pallid bloom Help please! 🙂

[wet carbon]

websites down for me too but i downloaded all the games a few hours ago

playing thru some of them now

[neon iron]

Glad it went down after submission period lol

[lilac fern]

Yes sure, nice game!

the website is still down

@deep crystal

I cannot reply on pyweek due to the website is down.
I expected linux users to have some sort of OpenGL already installed and I ommitted the obvious:

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev

It is my bad, I will add this note as soon as the site comes back live.

[woeful tree]

Site is back up

[woeful tree]

Wrong mauve 😅

I need to sort out alerting and also work out what kills the server every PyWeek

[neon iron]

Server going down is pyweek stage 4.5 🙂

[onyx basin]

captcha

[neon iron]

How open is the pyweek cli to new features? I have a few ideas that I think I can implement

[woeful tree]

Open to it but I struggle to find time to review GitHub PRs that aren't obviously instantly mergeable

[wet carbon]

Has anyone tried Cosmic Prowl yet? Dont want to rate this game unfarily but im not sure if Im missing something. It launches but - I think only character movement works and theres no other features? Theres effectively no documentation from the dev about what is supposed to work or not work

[vapid oak]

Has anyone tried Dark Matter Keeper yet?

[wet carbon]

Yeah

[lilac fern]

Maybe add an issue at https://github.com/busterbeam/cosmic-prowl/
I have looked at the commits and it is not clear for me if the game was completed or not.

[lilac fern]

I just got my entry to run in the browser: https://szabolcsdombi.com/pyweek-36/
Please don't consider it for voting since the port was made after the deadline and is of lower quality compared to the submitted native version.
The game code is identical, but for now, there's no multisampling, the game runs slowly in the main scene, and the user input was adjusted to comply with browser regulations.

I wanted to share this with the community because my next open-source project will be a native window+audio library that runs 1:1 in the browser, as demonstrated in my entry.
I hope this might be something some of you would consider using in the future.

[severe dagger]

Not really...😞 I submitted all the same in case anyone did like I made so far. I have made a new branch (post-pyweek) whereby I'm going to try and complete it

[tribal lintel]

Same with berserk, It's just player movement, there are animation frames in the files and sounds, but none of them work

I'm not sure if this is a legitimate entry that doesn't work for me, or If someone just submitted a random project

[wet carbon]

Yeah idk I get almost nobody gets to finish their game to the capacity they wanted but there’s like no readme or anything 🤷‍♂️ anyway thanks for checking guess it’s not just me

[severe dagger]

I should of joined a team.

[deep crystal]

If you feel like it, you can always make a diary entry that describes the features you didn't have time to complete, your vision for the game. In my experience that helps judges better appreciate what is there.

[lilac fern]

I put a deadline for myself for 5 days validating each day my progress compared to my estimates. I cut corners on day 3/4 and managed to finish in 5 days. had to fix a nasty audio bug at day 6. I could have spent that day on featurework but in that case i could have failed miserably with a broken game. i did not take that risk. I am happy with what remain after cutting corners. next time i plan to invest more time in the game logic / testing and maybe less on the other parts.

Oh, by the way this tactic is what speedrunners do, I've seen this in factorio speedruns too. 😅

[wet carbon]

Yeah we didn’t get to implement an entire hook of the game we wanted and also had to cut a level

Could have tried to cram stuff in Saturday before deadline but instead I chose to balance the gameplay we did get implemented so at least what we had is hopefully fun

[neon iron]

My team didn't finish last jam so we cut back a lot on the scope of the game, yet we still nearly didn't finish lol. A week sounds like a lot but it really doesn't get you too far

[steady crane]

A week did sound like a lot, especially since I already had a decent idea of what I wanted, with a small but expandable scope. That was until I had issues deciding on the framework and project structure. And then I had to try and fix the issues my choices created. And then life happened. And just like that, no game was made ;-;. At least I now have the experience to not make the same mistakes next time.

[neon iron]

I thought that wouldn't be for like 2 weeks

[hot flume]

I'm in the wrong category 😞
This category gets a different pseudo announcement

[neon iron]

Is there a mod channel with a similar name lol

[tribal lintel]

does anyone else have an issue with krs_dev's game? whenever I place a block, the window freezes and I get a "game is not responding" error

[wet carbon]

I didn’t have that issue , but not at home atm to verify anything

I set up a venv for each entry thouhj to make sure people aren’t using competing versions of modules or some other conflicts

I only have about 8 games left to check out an everything but one (card battler something?) have ran and even that one the submitter themselves on their page said they didn’t get the game in a working state in time

[gray hazel]

I have a custom physics engine, level manager, level editor written out to function alongside pygame. Does any one want to collab with me to help me bring it all together? It is called dungeon ducks and I have the full concept mapped out as well and animations in the works

[lilac fern]

Is voting written in stone? or can it be changed/adjusted later?

Oh, I just wanted to try it out but now the form complains comments are required, isn't that for the cheating checkbox i did not check?

I just found a past voting here i now get it.

[severe dagger]

done

[woeful tree]

You can edit all your votes and comments up until the end of the judging period

[outer aurora]

[vernal fern]

Hey guys, excited for the next pyweek game jam! Woohoo!

[shy schooner]

yes

[warm anvil]

when is it?

[vernal fern]

idk

[deft ember]

[vernal fern]

idk

[heavy marsh]

FANTASTIC! Runs fine on my Mac in Firefox.

[vapid oak]

How is it

[vapid oak]

It’s March 2024

Late march

[wet carbon]

It was fun

[gray hazel]

Hey does anyone wanna collab on a sweet game engine that i have been building in python?? It has fully built out solid physics (including mass and velocity transference), pixel perfect collision, over 5 physics based interactable objects, other objects, and core game mechanics / movement handling. everything has been tested thoroughly and works well. I am looking for some one to come in and help with the animator script, camera, game managers, level managers, and core game loop functionality for an arcade game consisting of multiple levels. I can continue handling all of the physics interactions and object creation, as well as other small tasks and debugging; i also will be responsible for designing levels, doing artwork, and other misc front end things, such as UI, sound design, etc..... So basically in summary i would really love if someone who is interested in this project and has skills writing game loops, and implementing level progression and progress tracking, could join me in this venture. I am really excited about this project so let me know if you are interested in having a chat, jamming out, and seeing if we can create something beautiful! Here is a short clip of the game engine testing.

[neon iron]

Thanks everyone for playing and giving feedback on our game (Blobbing Blob)! It was fun (and stressful lol) to make. It sounds like we should've included more of an explanation of the shooting mechanics in the game, since I don't think it was very clear, and it would have also benefitted from testing on more platforms/screen resolutions. Hopefully I can be part of next jam and make an even better game.

[karmic scroll]

Congrats to all the participants. It was a fun week of coding, and I enjoyed playing your games and all the pleasant surprises that come with.

I just read the email and see a plug for pyggy. Is that competition still a thing? Cuz I hadn't heard about it in years.

I found Greg Ewing's proposal. I think this is old, though. I only participated in pyggy once, and it seemed to not draw people to keep the idea going.
https://www.csse.canterbury.ac.nz/greg.ewing/python/pyggy/Proposal.html

[vapid oak]

WE WONNN

[neon iron]

Congrats!

[vapid oak]

First time the GummBumm gang has done something like this I guess?

Man

I feel lucky

Winning pyweek on only my second attempt (first time my team turned in a horrible game)

[vapid oak]

You had a nice game man

It was decent

Only thing I was worried about was I couldn’t thonk of anything related to dark matter in your game, call me dumb

[neon iron]

Thanks, we all worked hard on it. The dark natter bit was the blocks turning black and being passthrough

[vapid oak]

o

How was our game though

[neon iron]

I wish I had more time to rate games, but I had a lot of schoolwork to catch up on

[vapid oak]

Same here blud

Now that I’m in the midst of my half yearlies

[neon iron]

Yeah my sr year is really picking up lol

[steady swift]

Curious what are the limits of Python for game dev?

Like NES games? SNES? N64? Etc..

(Not literally just wondering what console gen equivalence)

I’m a huge fan of Aria of Sorrow and Minish Cap on the GBA and was wondering if I could do similar games in Python.

[tribal lintel]

Nice job, your game was very polished

[vapid oak]

Thanks man

We took inspiration from arcade games of the 80s

[karmic scroll]

I think you have us confused with another game. We had a meter on the game screen labeled. "DARK MATTER". 🙂

[vapid oak]

Naaw

I was speaking to anonymous

Not about our game

You got confused gumm

[karmic scroll]

Oh, thanks. I retract my comment. Discord confuses me often. Is there such a thing as vertical dyslexia?

[karmic scroll]

I grew up in 80's arcades, so it wasn't a reach for me. 😄

[karmic scroll]

Thanks for the kind words.

[vapid oak]

I was literal born in the 2000s

21st century teenager 💀

So it is a very hard thing to reach for me

Btw thanks for the kind words guys

I’m writing a diary entry

finds himself horrible at diary entries

[karmic scroll]

I think it's hard to generalize what Python can and can't do. It depends on many factors. Let's say, on a modern PC with a mediocre graphics card, and libraries that offload much of the processing to native code, Python can really do a lot. Pyweek demonstrates that well, in my opinion.

Another example, DR0ID and I are Python+pygame purists. Our projects don't rely on third-party libraries. It's all Python, except for what horsepower pygame brings. Along the way we've gotten some astonishing performance out of Python.

By contrast you won't get good performance from Python+pygame on mobile or Snapdragon platforms. The CPUs just aren't powerful enough, and interpreted languages like Python suck the life out of batteries fast.

Hope that helps your assessment a little.

[vapid oak]

Python is currently sucking the life out of my batteries now

[karmic scroll]

🧛

Keep your anemic green tech. Gimme a beefy rig that belches carbon.

[lilac fern]

Congratulations to all!

Also extra congratulations for Unseen (it also got 4th best of all time), dude you should consider releasing it / turning it into a product or something. It is has all it needs!

Unlike software, humans tend to suprise me all the time 😅
The competition in the team category was very tight,
looking at the top 4 entries, a single +1 in any voting category would have made the 4th entry the top1. Yes I just did the math 😄

Another fun fact: A single person's vote made one of the entries the second best, and all time top 9.

Lots of drama there, love it

Thank you all for your comments on my game.
I am proud to have achieved a high score for production, I really maxed it out.
All your feedback confirms that I reached my goal.

[neon iron]

A lot of well put together games this time around it seems. I wish there could be a second phase to the competition. Now that we all have teams and a workflow, it would be cool if there was incentive to continue working on them for a judging part 2 in a few months or something

[fresh needle]

Wow, looking at the stuff that gets submitted to this surprises me every time… it’s incredible to me, as I’ve never really seen python as a language you’d make games with, since I’m fairly new to it and not familiar with really any of the libraries on PyPi, all of you are incredible 👍

[lilac fern]

How many of you considered running binaries over the source?
I personally did not even bother, its a coding competition right? let me run it from source.
I also spent some time packaging, and many of you did. I just want to know if it was all for nothing.

[wet carbon]

This was only my second PyWeek but this time there were many more people that built binaries vs the last one I did

[neon iron]

Well, rule 7 says

Your entry must include all code and data required for running
so I don't think you can submit binaries as a replacement for source, it's just you can add them in if you want. However, since all the judges already have python installed (since how else would we develop a game) it's sorta redundant to make executables.

Unless of course you want people who don't have python installed to play your game, in which case building binaries would be a good idea

[rain bane]

building binaries helps a little even if you have python installed. I ended up making a new venv for every game I played, which I didn't really need to, but to make sure they worked when I installed their requirements I did.

having a binary I could just run instead of going through that is nice.

[neon iron]

I'm thinking of suggesting we add some more functionality to the pyweek cli to automate some of that process. If each submission has a requirements.txt and a run_game.py, theoretically you should be able to run a pyweek cli cmd that sets up the environment and runs the game

[onyx basin]

how do i make a js code that send a message to the webhook without the need of external libs

[vapid oak]

Naww

Wrong place

[lilac fern]

i would love to see this in the pyweek cli. Also just unpacking would save tremendous amount of time spent.

[vapid oak]

D

[karmic scroll]

I have a mk-venv.bat that speeds the setup for each game. It's no bother doing that, really. And easy cleanup.

[worthy bronze]

Wait when is the next game jam

[hot flume]

The next PyWeek is March 2024

[worthy bronze]

Oh ok thank you

[marsh oyster]

share it

[karmic scroll]

python -m venv "%cd%"
scripts\activate.bat

Or, if you want a tidier current working directory,

venv\scripts\activate.bat

[wet carbon]

I made a basic python venv manager using tk to easily make new venvs and install requirements files

https://github.com/Lanecrest/WinVenv

Idk if this is good or bad but it works well especially for trying to run multiple venvs for something like PyWeek

[neon iron]

I opened up the issue, I think it'd be pretty convenient to have this functionality https://github.com/pyweekorg/cli/issues/5

[modern osprey]

Oh wow this started

[pulsar spire]

And ended

[neon iron]

I did a thing https://github.com/pyweekorg/cli/pull/6

My end goal/idea is to make a gui for managing these games, getting most files in a standard format would be the first step for that

[heavy marsh]

Do we know when PyWeek is going to happen in 2024? I know there's one every 6 months but I'd like to put dates in my calendar so I don't get surprised by it, like every year.

[hot flume]

It'll be in March and September. We don't have exact dates nailed down yet. Let me work with Mauve and see if we can get firm dates for the March one this week

[hot flume]

We're aiming and planning for March 17-24

You can register on the website right now. Once it starts (in ~33 days) then you can begin to work on your game and submit it on the website by the deadline date. As we get closer more info here will get released. You can give yourself the PyWeek Announcements role in #roles to get pinged when that info becomes available

[timid falcon]

Hi, general discussion about Python is at #python-discussion
"general" or non-python related chat is at one of the OT channels, such as #ot0-psvm’s-eternal-disapproval.

this channel is about Pyweek, a game jam event.

please read channel descriptions at the top (or on the right) when you visit a channel. thanks!

[worthy roost]

yes

what u want to talk about

[devout sparrow]

all good?

Is the date different every year or is it constant?

if constant, where i can find it?

[hot flume]

It'll usually happen in March and September of every year, but the exact dates vary to avoid conflicts with holidays and other game jams

[fickle mason]

silly question

is pygame the most used library in pyweek?

[lilac fern]

Last time it was by far

There were some panda3d. One of them did not work for me.
There was one pyscript entry using threejs/webgl

By the way you might want pygame-ce

[quick iron]

omg

[potent frost]

i want to join, what should i do first?

Can textbased-rpg join in?

You can use Pygame, Pyglet etc.

Even Godot

[potent frost]

wah, we can use godot to?

[vapid oak]

I think

Someone told me godot can be used but I don’t know how far as to it is true

[potent frost]

so, i can't use textbased rpg to join?

[neon iron]

You could use the python bindings for it, but they were last updated 3 years ago afaik

[agile star]

what are the Python bindings for godot?

i do use godot regularly, so I know what godot is

[neon iron]

This is the repo I believe https://github.com/touilleMan/godot-python

[agile star]

thankyou!
i guess I'll just learn pygame or something!

[neon iron]

I personally prefer arcade

It supports tiled for one, so making maps is easy. Has physics engines too

[lilac fern]

Hey 👋

[lilac fern]

I don't know anything about this extension, but does it qualify with 2.2.C? rules link
I personally don't mind at all.

this rule is quite weird, why would you rewrite basic stuff like entity systems, tile renderers, physics, collisions, menus ...

i would be +1 for getting this section updated similar to mini-jam:

I have code and assets from other Jams I wish to use, are these allowed?

Yes! If you have the rights to use it, anything that wasn't made specifically for this particular jam is allowed. This jam in particular isn't strict on the "build it from scratch" ruling, but it is encouraged.

strictly speaking pygame itself counts as violation.

[neon iron]

The one about docs? I think that's just to ensure that all participants can access the resource and can use it, which would be the case for that extension

[lilac fern]

check 2.2.D and 2.3.D

maybe i am getting it wrong

if python is only for "customisation" then it is a violation

is it like that?

[neon iron]

"Game logic" as in what sets your game apart from others in the genre, from my understanding. So code that defines how a player moves on a 2d platformer (that's publicly available and all that) would be fine, but a player getting power ups or entities with abilities or whatever you game has should be made in python

[lilac fern]

this makes sense!

[vestal tangle]

i think using godot with python as a scripting language is allowed

i've submitted a pyweek entry made with godot before and it wasn't disqualified soooo :P

Although i'd really recommend not using godot-python it is very clunky

[limpid heart]

https://pyweek.readthedocs.io/en/latest/libraries.html I'd argue they allow pygame, along with all these other fun libraries, or else pyweek would not be a fun learning experience, but a stressful engine building experience.

[lilac fern]

Just keep in mind it has to be python. GDscript is not python.
I am looking forward to see it working. If i could use python in godot i might be interested in using it in the future.

[lilac fern]

Yeah, after discussing it here that rule does no longer sound that harsh to me as before. Which is nice

[ocean swallow]

hello?

is this thing on

plffpfpfp

Test...

hi

[neon iron]

lol wut

[ocean swallow]

it's the test

hello from irc

pyweek voting starts sunday zomg

I hope I get the theme "shotgun"

[limpid heart]

What is happening?

[ocean swallow]

Wait... a​nonymous4045, .​krzysztof, from where are you messaging? That's not Panda3D's #pyweek.

[limpid heart]

Python Discord, I guess this is some cross platform communications system with this odd bot.

[ocean swallow]

OOOoooh, that makes sense. And yes, it is, we're on IRC (LiberaChat, #pyweek)

And we're beginning to put together a gang of Panda3D users for PyWeek.

[neon iron]

Interesting

Gl to you guys

[final tinsel]

Hello IRC world!

[ocean swallow]

:waves:

hi! o/

[neon iron]

This channel now feels like a portal to another dimension

[split cradle]

how did they get a web hook

😭

[ocean swallow]

We asked nicely? I think... AFAIK @rdb asked whether we may, and the Python Discord admins said "Yes, if you supply Panda3D help during jams."

[vapid oak]

Hey bar

[vapid oak]

Hello

Oh nvm it’s a webhook

[ocean swallow]

hey hedy! tilde team reprazent <3

[ocean swallow]

entikan: ayy dimension.sh is also cool! I'm from ~cafe actually o/

[ocean swallow]

hedy: nice I have a project in the works on team. cafe also has some class peeps. anyway offtopic, but always nice to see citizens in the wild :)

anyone nifty with blender here interested in joining a team?

[limpid heart]

I am generally the blender guy for my teams. My annual / semi annual refresher

[ocean swallow]

Might be a good idea to get a workflow tested with a Blender guy who does not care about the code side anyway.

[wide plaza]

helo

🦫

[ocean swallow]

@pulsar chasmkrzusztof would you like to work on static props? Any models of yours online somewhere?

@wide plaza hi

[limpid heart]

static props sound fun, I do not have a portfolio, I'm not super cereal about Blender, I just like to keep myself rusty

Always enjoy an opportunity to learn something new

[ocean swallow]

@pulsar chasm​krzysztof Do you have a preferred style?

[limpid heart]

Not specifically, whatever is needed I try to figure out and do. Here's my favorite piece I made for PyWeek 33, that was one where I barely got to write any code, all in Blender

[vapid oak]

Hey guys. Real excited about this one. About time too, it’s just after my exams

[ocean swallow]

@pulsar chasmkrzystof ooh you did -that- game, I've played it! It looked nice and fun.

[limpid heart]

Yea, I did most of the art in it, not the backgrounds, though I did work with the guy who was making them on the style, he had PS, I don't

Gotta learn Geo-Nodes finally

[limpid heart]

BTW, when you try to tag me, Discord tags a user with just a . instead, that's what they get for taking that one

[neon iron]

Was that the goat one?

[limpid heart]

Yea, The Epic of Goat

Glad to see people remember it after all these years

[dry cosmos]

Theme voting has begun! ... So, how do I enter PyWeek?

[limpid heart]

make a game and submit

you should probably register on the site

make a user, make or join an entry, submit a game

[dry cosmos]

Found the button, it hid well.

Thanks.

[mild skiff]

Anybody able to see the themes? Not sure where they are currently appearing?

[neon iron]

It appears they haven't opened yet. Looks like the link should be https://pyweek.org/p/41/ since pyweek36 theme was ../40/, but the page doesn't exist yet

@hot flume do you know anything about it?

[hot flume]

I can investigate in a little bit

[tribal lintel]

is the theme voting out yet?

[woeful tree]

Sorry, everyone, theme voting is open now

[dense sage]

Where it is

And I have one more question

Can I use qt for python

In pyweek

[woeful tree]

Yes

[dense sage]

Ok thank you

[woeful tree]

https://pyweek.org/p/41/

[lilac fern]

• Couch co-op
• Petri Dish
• The Roaring Forties
• The little things
• Tube

[ocean swallow]

@dry cosmos @hardy cryptbotic couch co-up to me -screams- twin stick shooter. (which might be the exact reason not to do it)

[dry cosmos]

I do see a problem with "Couch co-op" in a distributed development team, unless it is not the mechanic.

[ocean swallow]

yeah it could be that you play two characters that are playing a couch co-up game

petri-dish = spore, roaring forties = film-noir detective, the little things = scary bedtime story simulator, tube = a better version of my previous pyweek submission https://pyweek.org/e/slipstream/ :P

[dry cosmos]

I would be very not opposed to the tube one, but I'd like to ask what will be the innovation.

[ocean swallow]

petri-dish = it's one of those connect-3 puzzle games, but there's a story where you're a professor that is investigating a groundbreaking, reality-altering new fungus

well I wanted to add the game Skyroads to the tube formula. Not exactly innovative but a step up for now.

[dry cosmos]

I still think that the theme should be selected from two pools, so as to make speculative pre-planning like we're doing right now unfeasible due to the number of combinations.

[ocean swallow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26kou8oXUqs&t=145 this game is also GOOD, ae "tube"

in it, if you go fast enough, you break through the sound barrier and the game goes very quiet

it's absolutely brilliant

[dry cosmos]

bbiab, dishes.

[ocean swallow]

tube: you play a bullet coming out of a sniper rifle

vvwoooooooooooooom

[dry cosmos]

I did like Unreal's Redeemer.

[ocean swallow]

is that the controllable rocket? (haven't played classic unreal in forever)

but yeah, full-frontal relativity kamikaze action

[royal glacier]

Hi

[lilac glade]

How many people do you think are entered?

[limpid heart]

You can see, check the entrants

[vapid oak]

I think of tube as natural gas (think gazprom)

Somehow the roaring forties reminds me of World War 2

The little things also can be made like roaring forties

Petri Dish reminds me of what we wanted in PW36

I have no idea ‘bout couch co-op

[neon iron]

All themes are open to interpretation, but for people who have no clue, the roaring forties is the area of land between 40 and 50 degrees latitude in the southern hemisphere. That area gets consistent, strong winds, which gives it the nickname. Couch co-op games are pretty much multiplayer games that both players use the same display, like pong or many of the mario games.

[tribal lintel]

is couch co op supposed to be a game you play on the couch or a game about a literal couch

honesty, the literal couch idea sounds kinda funny

[neon iron]

They're up for interpretation

[dry cosmos]

Quick poll, out of curiosity: What engine are you planning to use?
pygame
🐷 pyglet
☀️ raylib
🐼 Panda3D
❓ Other, or none

[neon iron]

Arcade

[dapper nacelle]

when the theme will get announced?

[lilac fern]

~ 1d 12h

just visit this site when the timer gets down to zero: https://pyweek.org/

[lusty wasp]

I also made the mistake of initially assuming that the Roaring Forties were a time period :x I guess I was confused with the Roaring Twenties

There's apparently also the "screaming sixties" below that

[median rover]

tommorow!!!!!!!!

also anyone know if music will be marked as a big part of the game?

[ocean swallow]

That falls under production values.

[split cradle]

same lol

[split cradle]

Who likes the theme?

[tribal lintel]

Its not but but I literally had an idea for every other theme

[split cradle]

just wanna see a pole

[split cradle]

same

lol tube and roaring 40s felt most constricting

[tribal lintel]

Everytime I think of an idea it's just "not tuby enough"

[hot flume]

going by emojis we haaaave... 🧪

[tribal lintel]

?

Are these like alternative themes

[hot flume]

all the emojis are tube related: test tube, a tube to deliver chemicals or whatever, and a pool/floating tube!

[tribal lintel]

Ahh

You could also interpret tube as a train system, I think that's what they call it in London

[dry cosmos]

So, how many "There's an undulating tube, and you're racing along it" games will there be?

[potent frost]

i little confuse, what the tube means here?

in translate tube can means bus, pipe and another

[keen spade]

open to interpretation you can choose whichever you like

[potent frost]

okay

[vestal tangle]

hi everyone

have y'all figured out a game idea yet?

[neon iron]

We have a few ideas floating around

[vestal tangle]

i see, I have a decent idea but still not sure how I would implement it completely.

[tribal lintel]

Its the end of day 1 and we have nothing

[woeful tree]

I didn't think I would have time and headspace to create a game for PyWeek, but I decided to use PyWeek as inspiration for polishing my game engines and libraries.

So far I've set up automation to build and backfill wheels for

https://wasabigeom.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ - which has a very fast 2D vector class and then other stuff that needs maintenance

https://pyfxr.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ - sound effect generator

python game eidoter which is

[north osprey]

on which game eidtor

[vestal tangle]

that’s pygame

[lusty wasp]

big shiny tube

[tropic sable]

Guys, you can use artwork made during the week in your game right?

[lusty wasp]

Am I misunderstanding your question? Of course you can make artwork as part of your PyWeek entry during PyWeek.

[ocean swallow]

Yup. I think you may also use free assets, but I'm not 100% sure.

[tropic sable]

Yeah lol I was just making sure cause it's my first time and the docs says something about being available for everyone

Thx though

[lusty wasp]

@woeful tree if you're not already aware of this, the site keeps erroring out when uploading a screenshot. Seems to upload fine but there's no thumbnail.

I know from last year most of you use pygame and do 2D games, however,
In case anyone is using moderngl or zengl this year and want some help or tweaks to the rendering, let me know, I am happy to help.
I can also help with postprocessing shaders too.

[potent frost]

i give up :v

not get what can i do with theme

[lilac fern]

yeah tube is pretty limiting. i really wished for the couch coop.

i am going to make some tunnel run, and interpret tube as tunnel.

i wanted to make something about test tubes, but it did not really worked out.

[vestal tangle]

nice fps

but i have the best main menu

[lusty wasp]

I have no main menu so yours is infinitely better than mine

[vestal tangle]

https://tenor.com/view/catvibe-gif-18088574

Actually, the more i think about it, my main menu in its current state quite suits my game title

[lusty wasp]

An accident but it looks kind of cool

[dense sage]

WOW

Man how much time did you spend on it

[vestal tangle]

TIL that all our repository commits are posted at https://pyweek.org/latest/

[gilded lake]

hey guys, a bit confused on the wording on what to submit for pyweek.

1. It explicitly states in the docs that readme.txt must be present in the project, but i assume that a markdown file works too, right?
2. Is it really necessary to compile the files in our project to standalone apps? Are just instructions on how to run main.py with python in the readme enough?

[lilac fern]

thanks

[lilac fern]

I think almost everybody runs the games from source. I had a similar question regarding making binaries. I think it is a waste of time. remember, everyone voting made a game just like you did. I personally look into the code to see the complexity required to make the given game.
Many entries from last year required small tweaks to get it running, most of them were FS case-sensitivity issues.

[gilded lake]

thanks

also, in the manage entry page underscore seems to be an invalid character for setting github repos

[neon iron]

README.md is more common these days. I personally wouldn't recommend creating binaries, they aren't cross platform and are annoying to make.

Once you make your zip file, you can also check it's correctly made by running pyweek verify file.zip after pip installing the cli

[lilac fern]

>python -m pyweek verify "pyweek-37-main (1).zip"
Usage: pyweek.py [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
Try 'pyweek.py --help' for help.

Error: No such command 'verify'.

[gilded lake]

installing a package doesnt seem to have the verify command but just downloading the entire repo https://github.com/pyweekorg/cli works

[neon iron]

Oh, looks like it wasn't released on pypi yet

[eager night]

I'm trying to upload my binary .zip files (which are a little over 200 megabytes), but the pyweek.org site keeps returning insecure connection/not uploading the whole file.

[neon iron]

Hmm, did it upload the source fine?

The source is the important one

[eager night]

I have like 100 project files, they work together.

[neon iron]

Oh the source itself is 200MB?

I thought you meant like pyinstaller binaries

[eager night]

I don't remember uploading the executable game as a .zip being an issue in past challenges

[neon iron]

Probably aws being weird

[eager night]

I'll just host them on a git release and post the link in my project page then

[neon iron]

Just make sure you upload something that's listed as a final entry so that it can be judged

[onyx basin]

yay we did it

so scary

[tribal lintel]

that was one of the jams of all time'

I think the website has crashed

[neon iron]

Great job to everyone who finished!

[lusty wasp]

wheww

Will have to upload tomorrow since the site doesn't seem to be working

[ocean swallow]

yeah good job everyone

this was the best pyweek yet

so much pizza

[karmic scroll]

Some of us won't run binaries. We want to see the source, please, even if you submit a binary.

readme.txt can be replaced with readme.md or whatever. If you want to be extra helpful, maybe have a readme.txt that simply says "See readme.doc". But in my expectation people will figure it out.

[lusty wasp]

I recommend that you have a requirements.txt and something named run_game.py or main.py

I will only check the readme if I can't figure something out

[karmic scroll]

I always read the readme. In it I can find out everything about you. 😄

[lusty wasp]

Good thing our readme file is empty then

[karmic scroll]

No, don't do that! You don't want me to fill in the blanks. Haha.

Just kidding. I'm a kidder.

[lusty wasp]

I'm mentally really exhausted after this week, I think I'm going to need to sleep for a week now 😅

[vapid oak]

Pyweek went horrible

MAN WHY DIDNT YOU LET US COOK AGAIN

[karmic scroll]

Sorry to hear that. DR0ID and I decided on a minimal team this time. I had a challenging week, too. Just couldn't get the old gears turning, and it hurt the project.

[vapid oak]

Only one guy decided to code

And he was not so experienced

And by the time szabolcs came to help us on Saturday, we had not even gone past the menu

Also it’s not GD anymore

GDP

[karmic scroll]

Gotta practice outside of competitions. I had not been practicing, and I really felt it this time.

[vapid oak]

What ya made?

[karmic scroll]

Tried for a cute, quirky platformer.

[vapid oak]

We decided to make a countryball natural gas agent

[karmic scroll]

Tubes. I can see it.

[vapid oak]

The guy thinks we must make this game into steam

Although I think I can collaborate with an Aussie friend who’s just an year or two older than me

He’s already launched a game onto steam

[karmic scroll]

If there is a next time, I suggest from experience to get your core game working. Then add menus and other stuff if there's time.

[vapid oak]

Aren’t we collaborating next time?

[karmic scroll]

I don't know. There are complications.

[split cradle]

pyweek is down

🤔

[vestal tangle]

This pyweek was quite fun imo. Theme was kinda wack but i’m glad i figured something out.

[green trench]

I've notice its down too. Managed to finish the project this time, even though it ain't 100% what I wanted it to be.

[neon iron]

Pyweek's a good lesson on what you want to get done vs what you actually get done lol

[potent frost]

if you using any module, don't forget to say install/download it first

[lilac fern]

Is the site down?

[neon iron]

Yes, it often crashes at around this time in the competition

[green trench]

I'll try again in the morning. Too tired.

[tribal lintel]

Will the event organisers extend the deadline because the site is down?

[woeful tree]

Site is back up

It OOMed

[lusty wasp]

@woeful tree I can't upload our game because "Request entity too large".

It's 216 MB.

What is the size limit? I'm going to feed the textures through optipng and see if that helps.

@woeful tree seems the limit is 200 MB. Might want to add this to the rules if that is an intended limit.

[lusty wasp]

Our entry is up https://pyweek.org/e/htube/ - with some cool box art by @onyx basin

[lilac fern]

i'm gonna try this the first 😄

The next PyWeek will be March 17-24, 2024. Stay tuned for more details.

PyWeek is a twice-a-year game jam that has been running for the past 15 years. Starting on the first day of the jam you start coding, designing, and developing your game. This can be done as an individual or with a team. By the end of the 7 days you must submit your entry on the PyWeek website for it to be counted as a valid submission. Visit https://pyweek.org/ for more details!

here

a little bit boring

[dapper osprey]

mmmm

[grizzled void]

bcs only need to copy paste the code and change the question / answer

[dapper osprey]

its not half bad

[grizzled void]

ok

and the deadline is today 💀

[dapper osprey]

ha welp

wait ur doing this for school?

or

ahh

so

[grizzled void]

huh

[dapper osprey]

u dont know that much about py?

[grizzled void]

i use python to do the long project

because i dunno much about C#

[zealous marten]

do you still have problem with that?

if you had tag me

[zealous marten]

@grizzled void

import pygame # importing module 

pygame.init() # Rendering pygame

music = pygame.mixer.Sound('NameOfFile.mp3') # You need to have mp3 File in the same folder you've got python project

music.play() # If you want to loop your mp3 file you write music.play(-1)

# If you've got a problem or error Tag me

[zealous marten]

oh sorry i forgot about installing pygame

pip install pygame

Then you have got that for the next projects

[onyx basin]

is the jam still up or is it over ?

[onyx basin]

learn how to use pygame

[chilly minnow]

Is there anyone learning digital marketing

[polar furnace]

pygame geewwwdddd

[candid fern]

godot is also good if someone wants to make a career out of game dev with a python type language

[onyx basin]

funny thing is I recently learned godot after using pygame for years, its my go to to make games now

[candid fern]

yea since brackeys is also making godot content, Im also doing some godot dev

[turbid crescent]

Guys

Anyone

Which gui python module should i learn

[barren peak]

pyqt6

[dense sage]

You should learn PyQt6 its fun and I think it will be great thing in CV

[candid fern]

whats CV?

[coral sparrow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_idEdkg9-2c

look what I made!

[dense sage]

It says what your skills and this document you are giving to your boss

future boss

[candid fern]

oh

[weak mortar]

man i think there should be some ways helping people know the conditions of the plant like the humidity of the soil or something

[coral sparrow]

@weak mortar I think ur right

cant I get a humidity sensor?

or should I do like a waterings last 3 hours counter?

[weak mortar]

@coral sparrow all good,bro
just integrate them into a visible panel

[coral sparrow]

@weak mortar ok ya I think thats a good call Ill add like text on screen that says waterings in the last x amount of time

[dense sage]

What did you done

[weak mortar]

@coral sparrow awesome
it can be a long-term project

btw, how to get the texts from audiences when streaming?

[coral sparrow]

@dense sage scrole up

@weak mortar its p ez its just a bit of async programmingtheres already a library to get the text 🙂

[dense sage]

How did you do that

hi

any support here?

can we just spam 50 messages for verfication?

😐 i need to talk

hello?

hey

does anybody know when the next jam will landed if so?

[limpid heart]

Last several years it's been in September

https://pyweek.org/challenges/

2010 seemed to run in August, but that was then

[fallen flume]

nice games guys really enjoyable but next time add graphics

[timber jolt]

Ig it evaluates whatever's in the string to its correct class type

[proud ruin]

SQL & f-strings

Don't use f-strings (f"") or other forms of "string interpolation" (%, +, .format) to inject data into a SQL query. It is an endless source of bugs and syntax errors. Additionally, in user-facing applications, it presents a major security risk via SQL injection.

Your database library should support "query parameters". A query parameter is a placeholder that you put in the SQL query. When the query is executed, you provide data to the database library, and the library inserts the data into the query for you, safely.

For example, the sqlite3 package supports using ? as a placeholder:

query = "SELECT * FROM stocks WHERE symbol = ?;"
params = ("RHAT",)
db.execute(query, params)

Note: Different database libraries support different placeholder styles, e.g. %s and $1. Consult your library's documentation for details.

See Also

• PEP-249 - A specification of how database libraries in Python should work

[thorny glacier]

I will be ready

😡

[dark wyvern]

does anybody know when the next jam will landed if so?

[thorny glacier]

probably next month

cuz thats when it usually is

[shut python]

I mean I have some berry jam

I aint planning on dropping it any time soon though

[thorny glacier]

damn share?

[shut python]

I cant give you any blueberry jam

[thorny glacier]

You a real one

[swift wolf]

bro the game jam starts the exact day i start school

[plain field]

quit school to make games 😈

[lilac fern]

You can find other jams here https://itch.io/jams
For example mini jam usually falls on weekends.

[thorny glacier]

Almost ready for py week

[thorny glacier]

https://pyweek.org/e/Loxoc_Engine/ 😎

[obtuse viper]

Is anyone interested in joining Pygame as a team? https://pyweek.org/register/

I'd love to be involved with a team to put out a simple product. I don't even aim to win, but It would be really cool to get other people involved on this.

[dense sage]

I can

if you want

[weak lava]

🤗hi there

[upper moon]

hi

[weak lava]

Whatssup

[jaunty remnant]

the ceiling wdym?

[obtuse viper]

You're in

[obtuse viper]

Just sent you a DM!

Hopefully doesnt come across as spammy lol

[lofty summit]

I am if you'll have me! *(created an account with my username daylight)
<don't read the following it's embarresing >
I made a kind of chicken invader clone in 3 hours with f22 rapter image from google shooting square blocks, yeah lacks refinement but I MADE A GAME in pygame so I want to make more

[lofty summit]

join me https://pyweek.org/e/day-games/

[thorny glacier]

Its almost timeeee

[clear turret]

When is the last day for registration?

[keen spade]

you can register after the competition has started too

[green trench]

Should I solo or do a group for this one? cant decide atm...

[ionic pulsar]

Dumb question, can you still use game libraries like pygame/pyglet etc. for this game jam? Because I couldn't find this in the challenge rules

[chilly olive]

#pyweek-faq message

[ionic pulsar]

Oh, thank you! I'm glad the answer is yes

[thorny glacier]

Im almost ready for the jam

https://tenor.com/view/stir-food52-making-jam-cooking-gif-19596297

[vapid oak]

Our team is ready!

Time to go on my quest for September pyweek defence

[karmic scroll]

Whoops. Themes didn't post.

👆 @woeful tree found ya 🙂

[crystal trout]

are they posted now?

[karmic scroll]

Nope.

[crystal trout]

ok thanks

[lofty summit]

bro where can I vote a theme?

[spark moon]

I have an account registered on the pyweek site. How do I actually register for PyWeek 38?
The FAQ says to go to the 'Latest Challenge' tab, but there is no such tab, nor is there a registration link on the PyWeek 38/Next Challenge tab.

[spark moon]

https://pyweek.org/p/42/

[obtuse viper]

Potential themes are : drips, monorail, down and out, powerful women , traitor

[lofty summit]

nice

[karmic scroll]

Yay, I see themes. Thanks.

[thorny glacier]

Im ready for the jam

Create an account on pyweek.org. Then for the current competition, create a project page. In order to finalize your project in the current competition, upload at least one FINAL code bundle by checking ✅ the item on the upload form that will say something like "Is this a FINAL entry?" After upload, your project page will list the code bundle and it will be tagged as FINAL.

[viscid valve]

oooo didn't know themes were up

[spark moon]

Thanks! So it's just that I can't register for a competition until it is actively going on?

[karmic scroll]

IIRC you should be able to register a new account on the web site at any time. And you can create your project page once the themes are announced, i.e. right now.

[neon iron]

I've got a few ideas for some of these

"traitor" seems hard for singleplayer games

[obtuse viper]

so any interpretation of the theme is acceptable yes? Drips = Drip = Fashion Week based game is a cool idea imo

[hot flume]

yup! It's up to hyou for how you want to interpret it

[obtuse viper]

yeah i hope there is creativity points for theme interpretation

[viscid valve]

i'm surprised i didn't think of it that way lol

[neon iron]

When I saw "drip" and "traitor" I immediately thought of https://youtu.be/grd-K33tOSM?si=R9yPVWYf7yCopJGF lol

[viscid valve]

lmao

[karmic scroll]

If it's not obvious enough, you might have to explain how you get there from the game theme in sufficient detail. If not in the game itself, then at least in the README. Not everyone reads the README. I have had raters complain about some of my leaps, even though I explained them.

Game dialogue is the best vehicle for exposition if the interpretation of the theme isn't ovbious. But that takes some extra programming in an already crammed schedule.

[neon iron]

"Innovation" is close ig

But yeah a lot of people don't read the readme ime. Last time I participated a lot of people mentioned some levels were impossible, although they just weren't using a mechanic in the readme

So ig either make the game intuitive or explain it explicitly in the game

[karmic scroll]

Yeah, I've seen some raters give "extra point(s)" in creativity due to a clever interpretation. Not everyone does, though. I think the push there is appreciation for the cleverness, thinking outside the box. But again, if someone doesn't get your interpretation, they might ding your score or DNW/DQ you for not honoring the theme. So it's good not to be obscure.

In my opinion there's no excuse for not reading the README. Most people write a very short one anyway.

I always read them.

[karmic scroll]

Right, Innovation is the score that's usually affected by the interpretation of theme.

[viscid valve]

[neon iron]

I added some functionality to the pyweek cli tool to try to automatically run a game from the zip file. If anyone could test it I'd appreciate it! https://github.com/pyweekorg/cli/pull/7

(Note that most zips that aren't formatted correctly won't work)

[limber orbit]

Are the entries verified for malware before they are made available for download?
If not, I would strongly discourage making it easier for users to run them without checking their source code

[neon iron]

I can't make people read source code, this just automates the process of setting everything up to play it. If you don't trust the game then yeah, don't run it

If there's a way to run the games in a containerized environment to mitigate risks without breaking the games, that'd be cool

[plush cairn]

This is pretty cool

your information makes me want to learn

[lilac fern]

Who would make a malware but making it clear from the source that is there? I think running entries in a VM or a separate machine is necessary to avoid any malcious code to be executed.

[lilac fern]

Would be amazing, unfortunately containers don't provide much security, it requires a custom runner to get a somewhat secure sandbox. If we expose any Xserver functionality to the container it probably bypasses all security features of the sandbox and makes it easy for the guest code to do bad stuff.
Since the side channel attacks, i personally no longer opt for a VM either. It takes a separate machine to stay secure.

Python on the web is an option too. Pyscript pyodide and pygbag already works amazingly well, it's probably not that well known tho.

[karmic scroll]

You make very good points. I've been concerned for years that miscreants could crash our party. Unless you spend time reading the code, you don't know what you're running; even then you can easily miss an exploit. This time I think I'll resurrect an old laptop with Linux for the playing/judging period.

[lofty summit]

bruh, just use a vm?

[desert echo]

how to delete old unused pyweek account?
