Only downside is that entry judging is going to take a long time...

vapid owl Aug 27, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

Are you a part of the PyWeek staff/coordinators?

lusty wasp Aug 27, 2020, 10:14 PM

#

Nope, just frequent participant and occasional code contributor

#

I don't think there is such a thing as "PyWeek staff" other than @woeful tree who runs it

vapid owl Aug 27, 2020, 10:14 PM

#

Aah, alright

#

How many entries are there usually?

woeful tree Aug 27, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

Well, there's Richard, he's staff

#

I've not heard from Blake since he ran it

#

@vapid owl about 30 in recent PyWeeks

lusty wasp Aug 27, 2020, 10:17 PM

#

Last one had I think around 20 who actually submitted

vapid owl Aug 27, 2020, 10:17 PM

#

That’s quite a few to go through. How many do you expect to get this year?

lusty wasp Aug 27, 2020, 10:18 PM

#

All bets are off, we have a lot more exposure this year

#

Wouldn't be surprised if we got 100 this year

#

I say "this year" but it's twice a year

sullen bear Aug 27, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

Reddit post will go out on Friday

vapid owl Aug 27, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

That’s quite a drastic change. I could see why that would take a lot of time to judge

lusty wasp Aug 27, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

Also I guess my game will have a bigger audience, not sure yet whether that will help or hurt motivation :-)

vapid owl Aug 27, 2020, 10:22 PM

#

Let’s just hope for the best 😄

lusty wasp Aug 27, 2020, 10:23 PM

#

Are you from Sweden?

#

Guessing by the name

vapid owl Aug 27, 2020, 10:28 PM

#

Yess. I actually am.

#

The name is a rather strange one

#

Do you know swedish?

lusty wasp Aug 27, 2020, 10:29 PM

#

Nej, jag kun inte prata svensk

#

I have no idea, sorry, I just speak a bit of Norwegian

vapid owl Aug 27, 2020, 10:29 PM

#

😂 that’s quite good

#

Where are you from?

lusty wasp Aug 27, 2020, 10:29 PM

#

The Netherlands

vapid owl Aug 27, 2020, 10:31 PM

#

Aah, nice. I was there about two years ago year. Quite beautiful

lusty wasp Aug 27, 2020, 10:31 PM

#

Does it mean, like, a western gherkin?

#

Or cucumber

vapid owl Aug 27, 2020, 10:31 PM

#

Not quite sure what a gherkin is

#

Yes. Western cucumber

lusty wasp Aug 27, 2020, 10:32 PM

#

A gherkin is one of those small fermented cucumbers

vapid owl Aug 27, 2020, 10:32 PM

#

Like a pickle, but the entire thing?

lusty wasp Aug 27, 2020, 10:32 PM

#

I think pickle is another word for it.

#

Not sure, English is a second language for me.

vapid owl Aug 27, 2020, 10:33 PM

#

Yep, same here

lusty wasp Aug 27, 2020, 10:33 PM

#

(and I don't eat them)

vapid owl Aug 27, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

Then, you’re definitely missing out hahah

lusty wasp Aug 27, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

Cucumbers are all crunch and no flavour

#

They just taste like crunchy water to me.

vapid owl Aug 27, 2020, 10:35 PM

#

Fair enough. A pickle is a little more interesting though

lusty wasp Aug 27, 2020, 10:35 PM

#

Mmh, never really got into them I guess

vapid owl Aug 27, 2020, 10:36 PM

#

Understandable as well

lusty wasp Aug 27, 2020, 10:36 PM

#

Where did you go in the NL if I may ask?

vapid owl Aug 27, 2020, 10:37 PM

#

Amsterdam and the nearby places

#

My sister visited her boyfriend there and the rest of our family took the opportunity to check out the city

lusty wasp Aug 27, 2020, 10:38 PM

#

Ahh, okay.

#

I guess Sweden is still on my to-go list :)

vapid owl Aug 27, 2020, 10:42 PM

#

I think it’s definitely worth a visit :)

woeful tree Aug 27, 2020, 10:42 PM

#

The Netherlands
@lusty wasp I didn't know you were Dutch. That's why you can always see what the one obvious way to do things is.

lusty wasp Aug 27, 2020, 10:43 PM

#

Hah.

#

I always have a lot of fun prompting my Anglophone friends to try and pronounce "Edsger Dijkstra".

woeful tree Aug 27, 2020, 10:44 PM

#

Edgar Dyke strar

lusty wasp Aug 27, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

At least you didn't make the mistake of thinking the "j" was pronounced like in "jazz"

woeful tree Aug 27, 2020, 10:46 PM

#

Edgar Dijazzkstra, that's what I said

lusty wasp Aug 27, 2020, 10:47 PM

#

That's pretty close to what a friend of mine tried.

woeful tree Aug 27, 2020, 10:48 PM

#

Well, Americans can't pronounce "mauve", so I'm used to it

lusty wasp Aug 27, 2020, 10:48 PM

#

I shouldn't laugh, listening to one of his (or Guido's) lectures is already hard enough for you guys

Looking for pyweek, I am fine using any module whether it is pygame or py acrade or any other module (I will learn it and give the best i can to your project). I have finished one udemy course (ZTM Python Developer 2020). And currently i am building a project with a few friends (when you give a topic to the search page, it will gen a website with its defination, a paragraph about it, facts, news, videos. The image will decide the colors and stylings of that page). I am from GMT +5:30 timezon 😃 .

is there a new game jam every week or does the event change, like one week there is a game jam, the other week there is a bot building competition, or is it always game jams with brakes in between

#

so every month has a game jam week

so there's one this week

What is pyweek?
@little prism

PyWeek's a Game Jam where you write games in Python. It's held twice a year and has been around for 15 years. (This will actually be the 30th edition.) You can find more info on https://pyweek.org/ and https://pyweek.readthedocs.io/en/latest/. See also https://pyweek.org/30/ with some info for this specific edition.

Is transpiled Python-to-JS allowed? I read through the rules and it says "other code is fine as long as it doesn't implement game logic". Where is the line between what constitutes as Python and what counts as "other code"? Is the transpiled code still Python if the original source code is Python?

This project in particular seems interesting: http://www.transcrypt.org/examples

Transcrypt and Numscrypt - Sample code

Transcrypt Numscrypt code examples of using various JavaScript libraries.

woeful tree Aug 28, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

Yes

#

I guess there has to be a line, and Transcrypt is close to it, because it's not quite Python

#

As I understand it, it's not as dynamic as real Python

#

But it is trying to give an authentic Python experience, which counts for something

#

GDScript is apparently Python-like, but it is not aiming to be Python in any useful sense

#

If you want to be safe I'd recommend Brython, which is a full Python implementation in JavaScript (highly compatible, runs ⅔ of the standard library unmodified), or Batavia, which is a partial implementation of the same thing (I believe it lacks a parser/compiler)

@woeful tree Thank you for clarifying a bit on the Python-to-JS debate. If code that you write could be run by the latest Python version as valid Python (even if it only a subset) then does that make it count as valid Python? I would think that a language that is Python-like is still not Python. It has to be 1:1 compatible with the standard Python runtime, imo. I wanted to get some insight into this though in the event that I decide to try to use the web as the front-end for a game vs a local game engine like PyGame.

woeful tree Aug 28, 2020, 9:13 PM

#

@late prism Yeah, I think that's mostly right

#

But I don't think anything other than CPython is likely to be flawlessly compatible with CPython, even though pypy tries to be painfully close including compatibility with bugs

#

I think the language is bigger than one interpreter

#

But yes, you'd expect plain and boring code to work in any interpreter that calls itself Python

Knowing about pygame is always great

And the pyweek is pretty fun haha

woeful tree Aug 29, 2020, 10:39 AM

#

Pygame is a mixed bag. It runs everywhere without hardware and compatibility problems. It isn't really a framework - you have to write a lot of the setup stuff yourself, like an event loop, where other frameworks will just run with no set up and you can then tell it what events you need. Pygame's graphics system is very slow because it's CPU based (but SDL2 and Pygame 2 will bring improvements). On the other hand if you want to set and get pixels directly it's perfect. Also there's a relatively straightforward relationship between the amount you're trying to draw and the performance, where hardware frameworks are fast overall but with a minefield of performance hits.

#

Pygame Zero is my framework based on Pygame that gets you going quicker: https://pygame-zero.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

#

Pygame/Pygame Zero are good for retro-style games, and are pretty decent choices in PyWeek for beginners, but you'll also find it imposes a limit to what you can achieve

solid star Aug 29, 2020, 10:59 AM

#

There are certainly better alternatives than pygame for beginners.

#

You can actually make something nice with a simple framework

woeful tree Aug 29, 2020, 11:08 AM

Pygame you have to do everything yourself

it's just for fun so it's as hard as you want to make it but it seems pygame is a bit low level so something like arcade seems a bit easier to get started with from my investigation

arcade is really nice. We had it as the framework for our PyDis Game Jam not too long ago and people were able to do quite amazing things with it despite using the framework for the first time.

@visual edge I built a sort of roguelike breakout clone once, it was really fun. The bricks had a certain amount of hp, and you could invest points into increasing the damage of your ball, or give it different power-ups. power-ups persisted through death.

Have you considered a unique spin on your breakout? It's a lot of fun to put these classic games into a new and novel context.

sorry wrong channel

pure cipher Sep 1, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

I always thought that team formation makes more sense when you coalesce around the idea for a game you'd like to write. So people should pitch game ideas, and others should then join one of those pitches, if they like it. Everyone knows slightly more about what they are getting into.

#

But I think I'm the only person in the world who thinks is a good idea. 🙂

#

People could pitch more than one idea - maybe one will prove popular, and the other not, so just abandon it.

#

Disadvantage is you'd have to do this after theme is chosen, I guess?

woeful tree Sep 1, 2020, 7:05 AM

#

I guess a general caution for teams is that you need to avoid scope creep aggressively. The more people you have on a team the fewer ideas each person is going to be able to contribute. It can be kind of a drain if everyone on the team expects all their ideas to make it into the game

#

In a gam jam you usually want to be refining and simplifying a small set of ideas, not adding new ones

Question: Would submitting a game written using Godot be acceptable for PyWeek? Or is that insufficiently Python-ey?

Pyweek is a week-long game jam, in which you must write a game from scratch, in

#

And the rules seem to imply yes too -- https://pyweek.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rules.html#target-platform (depending a bit on how one reads "the game logic must be written in Python).

I also have a question for @woeful tree ... I presume it is ok to contribute code to python packages that we would use for pyweek before it starts? If it gets merged/released, it wouldn't give our team an unfair advantage, as it would live upstream...

woeful tree Sep 2, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

@uneven drum Godot is Ok if you use https://github.com/touilleMan/godot-python instead of GDScript

GitHub

touilleMan/godot-python

Python support for Godot 🐍🐍🐍. Contribute to touilleMan/godot-python development by creating an account on GitHub.

#

I guess also if you write a thin client in Godot and use Python for your actual game logic

#

@graceful dust I think that's legal, if you meet the requirements for documenting it and announcing the feature via the usual channels, and it doesn't contain game logic under the definition given in the rules

uneven drum Sep 2, 2020, 6:42 PM

#

@woeful tree Ah! Does godot-python compile Python into GDScript? I am just looking through the examples.

graceful dust Sep 4, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

what will be the "entry URL"
@weary plaza whatever you want.... it's the url where your project will live on the pyweek website.

#

If you wait until the theme is announced and know what game you will work on, you can use its title....

#

Otherwise, you can enter something like bigbash I guess, if it is free.

isn't there a module for pygame which helps you design stuff for your game like levels

#

i've heard people talk about it but forgot what it's called

onyx basin Sep 5, 2020, 4:37 AM

#

Point of gamejams is to help people build up their skills right?

#

So isnt using such a module counter-intuitive, even if its allowed?

#

I mean you can use whatever you want which is allowed but yeah

strong oxide Sep 5, 2020, 5:05 AM

Why would you think using a module wouldn't allow one to build up their skills?

https://www.pygame.org/project-Tiled+TMX+Loader-2036-.html may be out of date though.

woeful tree Sep 5, 2020, 10:16 AM

There are a couple of TMX parsers for Python

#

Off the top of my head they're called tmx and PyTMX

#

Ah yes, linked from here: https://wasabi2d.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tile_maps.html#tips-tiled

#

Arcade uses the pytiled parser.

#

There are a couple tutorials on the website.

#

https://arcade.academy/examples/platform_tutorial/index.html

#

Hopefully in the next few months we'll have support for all of the specification.

#

You can already edit hit boxes, do animations, and more.

that's amazing @woeful tree ! which framework did you use to develop the game? pygame?

That was the reason I started wasabi2d, to ditch the pyglet stuff which was holding me back

#

That said I'm not sure wasabi2d is quite powerful enough yet to do everything I needed in WTF. Certainly 90% of it but I'd struggle to create that water effect

that's too good, and beyond my level

woeful tree Sep 9, 2020, 1:23 PM

So for PyWeek it doesn't matter because only ⅓ of the score is for production values

It's easy to write a game that looks great and isn't fun or innovative

#

I hope you can 🙂

plain elbow Sep 12, 2020, 12:58 AM

There's another barrier: I'll be releasing the next release of ppb that week, which puts a wrench in things a bit.

heh, pyweek will happen again, I'm sure!

#

also, dayum, @woeful tree this one coming is number 30?!?! wow 🥳

plain elbow Sep 12, 2020, 1:03 AM

#

I'm actually pretty careful about not breaking the rules, but ppb releases quarterly, and it's always close to pyweek.

#

(well, the last three or four since it was in a place where throwing it against a jam made sense.)

#

On the other hand, I can totally assist folks if they're interested in using any of my game dev tools. The big ones being ppb (game engine) and Misbehave which is a pythonic attempt at behavior trees.

yo guys how do I register to the jam? is it just making an account and voting?

muted cloud Sep 13, 2020, 2:12 PM

#

Yep ! You can actually register during pyweek, what counts is the entry you submit

shy finch Sep 13, 2020, 2:12 PM

#

awesome, so all I need is to vote and during the week i will see an option to submit?

muted cloud Sep 13, 2020, 2:13 PM

Yes. Though the option is already there, it's "register entry" when you click on your name in the topright

onyx basin Sep 13, 2020, 2:15 PM

is there a way to see some sort of chart of the votes?

Is it allowed to use Tiled [https://www.mapeditor.org/ ]

Tiled Map Editor

A flexible level editor

#

or do we need to make our own level editor?

vapid owl Sep 13, 2020, 5:56 PM

#

That's allowed for sure

graceful dust Sep 13, 2020, 6:01 PM

#

tiled is listed on the resources page of the pyweek docs, so it's definitely allowed. There's also a list of libraries you can use. Highly recommend you all read those pages.

tiny mesa Sep 16, 2020, 5:11 AM

To answer the question from earlier whether "goats, goats, goats" means "Greatest Of All Time" or ... goats. The answer is yes.

To answer the question about legal names - It's not asked for anywhere on the site, please correct me if I'm wrong. There is no intention of collecting your legal name. You do need to provide a valid email address though for the site to function correctly. And don't pretend to be someone you are not.

I knew about the book, but I find the wording in itself more interesting tbh

lusty wasp Sep 17, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

I tried to use AI Dungeon to come up with a game idea, but 90% of the results are quite violent (and the other 10% is an overly complex board game with incoherent rules).

This is a video game called "goats goats goats".
It is a peaceful game about goats and the gameplay is not complex. The gameplay mainly involves you shooting at the goat with your gun, it doesn't matter if you hit or miss. You can also use other weapons such as grenades, swords and even some of those weird things that go boom when they explode.

#

Guess I'll have to go back to using my real brain until the tech improves further 😆

#

It's great at coming up with marketing blurbs for the game though, guess GPT-3 has been trained on more of those

graceful dust Sep 17, 2020, 2:08 PM

#

It is a peaceful game

random sinew Sep 17, 2020, 2:10 PM

Peace between humans, not humans and goats

lusty wasp Sep 17, 2020, 2:11 PM

"peaceful game" was in the prompt, it is a little disconcerting that AIs do not understand what "peaceful" means.

Has anyone ever used brython (browser python) + a javascript game engine in prior challenges? Been fiddling with brython the last couple days and considering using it for pyweek 30. Would probably host it somewhere for the reviews but also provide instructions for running it with python -m http.server

keen geode Sep 17, 2020, 11:38 PM

#

Have you ever run into performance issues with it? Its a bit slower than just pure JS, but with that in mind it would be a nice solution if you want python on the browser. I wonder if that has ever been used in pyweek 🤔

pulsar seal Sep 17, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

I haven't built anything large enough with it yet to run into performance problems. If I run into performance problems, I'd probably shift to a turn-based game

keen geode Sep 17, 2020, 11:54 PM

#

What JS game engine are you going to use/currently using?

pulsar seal Sep 18, 2020, 12:32 AM

#

I've been playing with Pixi.js

#

but saying I'm currently using it is a bit of an overstatement, I just did part of the tutorial and that's about it, but I did it in brython

keen geode Sep 18, 2020, 12:35 AM

#

Yeah thats a good JS renderer, a game engine that uses it is phaser.io, you could check that out

#

Well, used to use it, they do their own renderer now

urban violet Sep 18, 2020, 12:37 AM

what game engine/graphics framework are you guys planning to use? I wanted to use pygame, but ursina is looking pretty nice too

pulsar seal Sep 18, 2020, 12:40 AM

PIXI/WebGL + browser python is my current plan, but I write code in a way where I could port back to pure PySDL2 later if it doesn't work out performance-wise

Where are you planning on hosting them? I think Github would be fine since its a jam anyway, or Heroku

pulsar seal Sep 18, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

could easily just python -m http.server to handle it

#

but hosting, yea, there's plenty of free or inexpensive static site hosts

keen geode Sep 18, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

I think itch.io allows JS games to be hosted there too

pulsar seal Sep 18, 2020, 12:49 AM

looks like it

solid star Sep 18, 2020, 5:12 AM

#

@keen geode moderngl is also an option. Arcade also has the arcade.gl api that is a subset of moderngl.

#

arcade is just using pyglet's gl bindings instead. They are a bit faster than pyopengl

tiny mesa Sep 18, 2020, 7:09 AM

I'd forgotten about arcade, thanks for the reminder.

sacred marsh Sep 18, 2020, 11:19 AM

I haven't scrolled up to the beginning, but when looking for frameworks to make games with python, don't forget about one of the very oldest players in the game: Panda3D 😉 (fyi Ursina is built on top of Panda3D)

just a quick q, ren'py is all good for this challenge right?

woeful tree Sep 19, 2020, 8:27 AM

#

Not really, it doesn't meet rule 9

#

Firstly because most of your game isn't written in Python, and secondly because it's Python 2

#

I doubt you'll be disqualified though, if that's what you want to use

storm tapir Sep 19, 2020, 8:29 AM

#

ohhhh true. another person said it was used before in previous challenges so i was like ok

#

its the only thing im familar enough with :<

woeful tree Sep 19, 2020, 8:30 AM

#

You wouldn't have any great difficulty writing a renpy style game from scratch with a different framework

storm tapir Sep 19, 2020, 8:30 AM

#

what frameworks would be better?

#

sorry as you can tell, I'm still a bit of a beginner XD but I can probably get familar enough with a framework tonight b4 the competition

graceful dust Sep 19, 2020, 8:35 AM

Arcade is great and simple. Not familiar with renpy so I can't compare them though

woeful tree Sep 19, 2020, 8:37 AM

You have the whole competition to get comfortable with a game engine

#

You don't need to learn one before you can start

#

i mean true, i just dont want to be overwhelmed XD

storm tapir Sep 19, 2020, 9:24 AM

#

I think I might still go with ren'py, just because the point of me joining pyweek is to try and make a game in a short time and try out new things/extend my current skills. so even if i get disqualified idm (the process and end result is more what matters to me)

woeful tree Sep 19, 2020, 10:03 AM

Definitely have time to learn a new engine or framework during the challenge. I'm still deciding on engine myself but pretty sold on doing a browser game with Brython after playing with both PIXI and Phaser this week

@woeful tree some people use boys/lads as a gender neutral term. mostly just coz being "one of the lads/boys" is not quite the same as being a boy
