[deft igloo]

Oh okay

do we have any idea when the next pyweek is going to be held

[unique glade]

Nope, no idea

Hopefully we'll find out soon

[deft igloo]

and does the game have to be made with pygame?

@unique glade

[unique glade]

Not sure. You can visit pyweek.org for more info

[formal lagoon]

hi

[sour hedge]

Nope, not necessarily

[onyx basin]

Yes

it would be nice if

y'all confirmed the next game jam

maybe september xth

[hot flume]

It's currently not even August and we haven't fully finished the code jam. We don't have a date set for PyWeek yet and some patience would be appreciated.

[hot flume]

Since I know people are eager for dates. PyWeek 32 is scheduled for September 19-25, 2021. A proper announcement will go out this Sunday with more information to follow.

[unique glade]

Thank you!!

[frosty crow]

When was the previous pyweek game jam?

[real eagle]

This spring, it happens twice a year

[worthy bronze]

Oh

How would you make a fighting game in python?

[woeful tree]

Like a beat-em-up?

[deft igloo]

Like brawlhalla?

[clever goblet]

yo
whats this jam about?

[woeful tree]

Writing games in Python

[clever goblet]

k

so did it start?

@woeful tree

[woeful tree]

It is running again from 19th-25th September

[clever goblet]

[south fable]

Where can we see the rules

[unique glade]

pyweek.org

[south fable]

Thanks dude

[sweet oxide]

[unique glade]

@hot flume Hi, I remember you saying on Friday that there would be some sort of announcement about PyWeek going out on Sunday.
#pyweek-game-jam message
I was just wondering when I should expect to see it because I did not see it. 😕

[west ginkgo]

[hollow coral]

which libraries do people use to create these games?

[slender patrol]

am i allowed to use pyunity

its a module i created myself

[hot flume]

Maybe, possibly?
Check this out for rules, specifically point 2: https://pyweek.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rules.html#entries-are-to-be-written-from-scratch

[hot flume]

Got caught up with other stuff and it fell off my priority list. It will get done this upcoming weekend

[slender patrol]

if it says 30 days b4 the jam can new releases be less than 30 days

like my package was published last november

but im plannijg on making a new release in mid august to early september

[unique glade]

Ok, no worries whatsoever. I'll wait. Thanks.

[frozen apex]

do we need to use pygame?

[woeful tree]

No. Some suggestions for engines and libraries here: https://pyweek.readthedocs.io/en/latest/libraries.html

[frozen apex]

oh ok thanks

[dreamy haven]

Hi

What's going on

Plz explain

I'm new here

[frosty crow]

PyWeek 32 is scheduled for September 19-25, 2021. More information will be released within the coming weeks.

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 pyweek.org for more details!

[dreamy haven]

Oh

Thanks

[lusty wasp]

Too bad I won't be able to participate in the next one 😦

[fathom estuary]

just realized not only will it be my first game jam, but I also have school. YAY (sarcastic)!

[unique glade]

Oh yeah I just realized that as well! I still hope I'll be able to participate even if I have school lol. That depends on how much work I'll get this year cuz I'm going into my freshman year and you never know what to expect in high school lol

[fathom estuary]

ya I should be able to do it I will have a couple hours of free time everyday

[high pond]

yeah I hope I have time to participate in this game jam

[lusty shale]

#bot-commands

[topaz herald]

HI

[unique glade]

@topaz herald I don't think this is the right channel for that. If you need help, please visit #❓｜how-to-get-help

[nimble elk]

doesn't seem like you have any use for the print() in the before last line

also recommendation use user.lower() just it also works for people that capitalize or whatnot

[ocean swallow]

did pyweek move to Discord?

sad

[onyx basin]

hi

[real eagle]

Uh... no? It still uses its website to manage everything, doesn't it?

[pearl oxide]

that's for sure some staff member, and they meant the chat from irc channel to discord ig?

[real eagle]

ah ok

[blissful swift]

What is game jam

[unique glade]

@blissful swift

[onyx basin]

hi

[stark narwhal]

can we though?

nvm its the first one on the list lol

i might try

[visual palm]

I just made a calculator

[unique glade]

Nice!

[onyx basin]

Well

[onyx basin]

I've often wanted to do this. they should let you use whatever python libs you want.

[woeful tree]

You can!

[onyx basin]

i thought you had to use one off that page?

looking around it seems unrestricted. im sure that wasn't the case in the past.

[keen spade]

i believe its mostly unrestricted, but it has to follow https://pyweek.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rules.html#entries-are-to-be-written-from-scratch

[hot flume]

It's pretty much always been that case as long as it follows the above linked rules

[woeful tree]

Maybe I should make clear that that page is a list of suggestions, not a menu of options

[austere abyss]

what is this

[cobalt ibex]

See the channel topic/description

[rapid laurel]

So where will the voting be held?

[unique glade]

Not sure. The next PyWeek is Sep 19-25, 2021, so I would imagine sometime before that?? We should have gotten more info about it a few weeks ago, but @hot flume has been busy lately and hasn't made any formal announcement about it yet. Hopefully we will find out more soon.

[woeful tree]

Voting is at pyweek.org, as is registration, theme voting etc

[primal orchid]

hi

can I attend

andm nake a game

in python?

:D

[unique glade]

Of course you can! Visit pyweek.org for more info! The next PyWeek is scheduled for Sep 19-25, 2021.

[sage dust]

its finally scheduled

[unique glade]

Yes! It has been since #pyweek-game-jam message

[carmine pivot]

im bad at programming but im going to try anyway :)

[unique glade]

Don't worry, you should definitely try, even if you aren't good at programming! You still have some time before the start of PyWeek to learn more about Python, and hopefully, you will learn even more during the actual competition!

[terse light]

😄

😦

x(

[keen sky]

pyweek, nice

[unique glade]

Finally the formal announcement came

[keen sky]

idk if i can join bc school is super busy

[unique glade]

Yeah, I'm still thinking about it too

For me, school starts Sep 1 and don't know how busy I will be since I'm going into 9th grade

[keen sky]

school started two weeks ago for me

[unique glade]

Oh

[keen sky]

you're going into hs? nice.

[unique glade]

Yep. It's a new experience for me

[keen sky]

i just started 9th grade too lol. it was a bit of a sudden start, especially because im doing in person school after a year of virtual

[unique glade]

Oh, oof

I had some virtual and some in person last year so that's not the case for me

[keen sky]

were there many covid cases at your school? or was it fairly safe

[unique glade]

Um, not sure. There were definitely cases, just don't have the exact number. I thought it was ok

It definitely felt weird the first day of in person, but I got over it lol

[keen sky]

our middle school had only a few cases, but our high school had a bit

[unique glade]

Ok

Well we're getting a bit off topic now

[keen sky]

yeah

[sturdy shale]

What is the topic that we need to build our game on?

[gentle aspen]

Voting for the Theme: Opens September 12th

[sturdy shale]

Thanks, didn't see that part

[onyx basin]

How do i participate?

[hot flume]

You make an account on pyweek.org and register for this challenge: https://pyweek.org/32/
Then, on Sept 19 you can start coding a game in Python! You have until September 25th to submit

[unique glade]

@hot flume This is probably a stupid question, but am I allowed to submit a game that I have created previously for PyWeek?

[hot flume]

The code for the game must be coded during PyWeek itself. Specific game logic cannot be coded in advance

[unique glade]

Yeah, that's what I thought. Thanks

[vocal wasp]

is it starting? 👀

i see more channels

[viscid canopy]

how many members can there be in a team?

[spare bison]

ig 4 or 5

[viscid canopy]

alright

[hot flume]

There's no limit

[oblique bobcat]

forming a team of 10 people :thonk:

[severe leaf]

I feel like this can go very wrong

i mean

if somebody get's a whole organization to work on a game

poof

[compact gull]

HEY YO in the events it says there is something going on

i did not understand what it meant

it is some kinda competition where you make a game usijng python and post it in the website link they gave?

[hot flume]

Part of the challenge there is to organize people and keep things productive

[onyx basin]

Do i need any coding knowledge? :/

Or its for people who code

[severe leaf]

i don't think necessarily so
as long as you help the team (be it assets, etc) it should be fine imo

[onyx basin]

Like i just know a very limited coding stuff

Other than that my knowledge doesn’t go as for as while loops and for loops

[carmine pivot]

are you good with assets, specifically graphics?

[onyx basin]

No 😅

Maybe ill join next time

[carmine pivot]

😞

[viscid canopy]

any prizes ?

[severe leaf]

pretty sure you get a prize too

[vocal wasp]

can i do it solo?

i want to join if i dont have a team still. although itll be a pain

[hot flume]

Yup! You can join solo

[sweet mica]

#878682981789761536 wanna join my team i am also alone

[vocal wasp]

sure.

[foggy stratus]

Can staff participate in pyweek?

[hot flume]

Anyone can participate, including the organizers since the community are the judges

[foggy stratus]

Alright, thanks :D

[sweet mica]

the one thing that I don't understand is that a team could start working from now like make all the assets, some code and other stuff and just say we worked and made these in the week itself

[hot flume]

Well, that'll be hard to do without knowing the theme. Considering PyWeek is just for fun I don't see a compelling reason a team would do that

[sweet mica]

fair

[sleek panther]

is it supposed to be a game?

cuz idk game dev with py

[daring sleet]

yeah you're supposed to make a game

but i think it's pretty easy

[valid grove]

hi did anyone could help me with pysimbot?

[sweet mica]

does our project needs to be 100% python?

[hot flume]

This explains the requirements for how much Python: https://pyweek.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rules.html#target-platform

[onyx basin]

hello

Basically, I registered and when I pressed register, it stated this: "Username already exists". So I changed it and inputted a new Password, but then it said "Email already registered". So I tried logging in but it says invalid password so I have no idea which is my pass and user

[unique glade]

Hmm....maybe try resetting your password? Isn't there a "Forgot my password?" link or smth?

I'm not sure if I completely understand your problem tbh

[onyx basin]

I would like to just completely remove my email from the db and start again.

[unique glade]

Oh, so if that's the case, I believe you would have to be logged in if you want to completely delete your account.

[onyx basin]

Problem is, I don’t know which username or password

[unique glade]

Isn't the username just your email? And for password, as I said, try resetting your password with the "Forgot your password" link or smth

Or if there is a support email somewhere, shoot them an email!

[onyx basin]

Nvm I got it

ty

[unique glade]

Np

[west gull]

Should I join pyweek game jam as a beginner (sort of)?

[tawny laurel]

Can i run pygame on iOS ??

[timber crater]

Hi guys. I've created an account on PyWeek site and looked at the FAQ for entering the game jam as an individual but I honestly do not see the "register for event" button. FAQ says to look on the sidebar but there's no side bar 🤔

[daring sleet]

probably, if you make an ios executable idk how that works though

[vocal wasp]

why not. you're going to learn some frameworks (perhaps

and other stuff

[west gull]

thanks, I thought it's only for advanced people

[mellow iris]

wau this already here umph umph

[west gull]

Is this a competition?

[limpid heart]

it is

[west gull]

ok

[mellow iris]

ah Im still code jam participant

well

that good

[north kestrel]

are gui modules allowed?, like pygamegui https://pygame-gui.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quick_start.html

[vocal wasp]

https://pyweek.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rules.html#entries-are-to-be-written-from-scratch

read #854364491395629096 might help u :))

[unique glade]

No, not that. That is for the Python code jam. @north kestrel You should read #pyweek-faq

[north kestrel]

ohh alr

[oblique bobcat]

this is too complex for me to understand

[runic fable]

Can someone hep me with my code

[slate oar]

Hello

[daring sleet]

The PyWeek website includes Google Poly as a resource, but it has been taken down by Google.

https://pyweek.readthedocs.io/en/latest/resources.html#d-models

[west gull]

Report! This is a bot! It cant solve captcha 😂

[copper juniper]

pyweek will start in september 16 th?

[frosty crow]

Similarly, the Teamups website also does not work https://pyweek.readthedocs.io/en/latest/resources.html#finding-collaborators. I submitted an issue regarding this yesterday in the PyWeek docs repo (https://github.com/pyweekorg/docs) . so I guess you could also submit an issue for removing Poly as a resource.

[daring sleet]

Hmm alright

[livid abyss]

Hey i have a doubt how can we register team for pyweek?

[daring sleet]

first you sign up

and then you register

[unique glade]

September 19-25

[copper juniper]

what is the price

[unique glade]

$0.00 I believe...

[copper juniper]

so why should i participate there

why must i waste my time to get nothing

[unique glade]

Oh wait did you mean prizes? Prizes and price are 2 different things lol

There are definitely prizes

[copper juniper]

oh \

sorry i confused

[unique glade]

No worries

[copper juniper]

whats the prize?

[carmine pivot]

personally i find it fun and would compete regardless, also im not the best programmer and this gives me an oppurtinity to learn from those that know what they're doing

[unique glade]

You get the pink PyWeek champions role on Discord for sure, but don't know about the other prizes

[limpid heart]

for the glory!

[limpid heart]

last time I competed I learned a TON in a very short amount of time

I'd say I learned more in that week than the prior month or two

So many concepts I hadn't even considered

Also met some interesting people in the process

10/10, will try again

[past pier]

Is there usually a theme for these things?

[unique glade]

Yes, there will be theme voting I believe the week right before the jam starts (so it would be the week of September 12 in this case)

[past pier]

Ah awesome, It sounds like fun. I assume most people use pygame?

[unique glade]

Yeah, PyGame is definitely a popular module for game development.

[past pier]

Might see if I can give it a go! See what terrible terrible creation I can come up with

[unique glade]

Yeah, certainly give it a try! I'm sure you will learn a lot from participating!

[past pier]

Do many people enter on their own? I would feel bad adding a handicap to a team! 😂

[unique glade]

Yes, there are definitely some people who entered on their own! If that's how you feel, then maybe that's your best option 😆

[past pier]

Problem is im busy with work / home stuff so I dont feel it would be fair to team up and then let them down by not having time!

[unique glade]

I agree, it certainly wouldn't be fair!

[livid abyss]

oh thank you very much 😄

[daring sleet]

no problemo 🙂

[unique glade]

@hot flume When does PyWeek registration close?

[hot flume]

You can register for PyWeek up until the event ends

[unique glade]

Oh ok, thanks

[fathom estuary]

tbw I thought you were a mod bc you're so professional

[willow lintel]

what if you dont know hgow to code a game

[vocal wasp]

learn

[willow lintel]

what if i cant

jk

im just dumb

[cobalt ibex]

Then have Pyweek be your time to learn, there's really no pressure. If you don't know anything I probably recommend you work alone, but other than that.. have fun!

[willow lintel]

Thanks I'll try tomorrow after school for me

[severe leaf]

should i join the competition

i probably wont contribute much

thanks to exams

[unique glade]

🤣🤣 lol unfortunately I am not a mod but I certainly seem like one, right? I just always try to answer questions when I am available cuz sometimes I'm just bored and when I am, I usually go on Discord and see what is happening on the server

[unique glade]

You can join on your own to be safe if you are up for it

If you think exams will limit how much time you can devote to PyWeek, then maybe consider trying again next PyWeek. That's just my recommendation.

[limpid heart]

https://realpython.com/asteroids-game-python/ I liked this guide, RP always has the best guides. But that'll get you introduced to Pygame

[fathom estuary]

I do the same if I get bored

[vocal wasp]

Hi. is this pyweek's server? https://discord.gg/narPHDq

i got directed in pyglet's server

[hot flume]

If you read the announcement in there it should explain things

[vocal wasp]

thanks

[lusty wasp]

That server is now inactive, for the record

[foggy stratus]

Is there a member cap?

[hot flume]

for teams? No

[foggy stratus]

hm, alright

100 member team 👀

[hot flume]

If you can organize and actually get something reasonable out the end, that's a feat in of itself

[foggy stratus]

haha, yeah

I guess the larger the team is, the harder it'll be to get organized

[keen spade]

mobilisin' the masses

[proud ruin]

:ok_hand: applied mute to @cosmic sedge until <t:1629913946:f> (9 minutes and 59 seconds) (reason: duplicates rule: sent 4 duplicated messages in 10s).

[lethal brook]

@cosmic sedge spamming to get your message count up would defeat the purpose. You have been voice-banned for two weeks.

[onyx basin]

hi

[lilac jackal]

Im new to python and programming in general

do ppl use frameworks or libraries to make this games?

[viscid canopy]

yes

[lilac jackal]

Ive only made like simple terminal programs and a calculator with tkinter lol

[viscid canopy]

using pygame u can do more

[hot flume]

You can probably make cool terminal games with libraries like blessed

[viscid canopy]

are the topic preselected and made into a selectable form or we choose the topic like by typing out ?

[shell tiger]

me too XD

[sweet mica]

why can't we chat there

[sweet mica]

lets the make the whole python server one team

240k champions

for pyweek 30

a team of 7 members is good (i think)

[sweet mica]

prompt toolkit is also good

you can make good looking guis in terminal with it

[cobalt ibex]

Because it's archived!

[sweet mica]

no i am telling they have general channel which is locked

[cobalt ibex]

But you're not meant to use it

[summer panther]

lol

[hot flume]

@sweet mica read the announcement in the announcements channel

[hidden kraken]

Hey guys for the python game jam do you need to use pygame or can you just use python?

Ping me if have answers

[slate wagon]

It doesn't have to be Pygame, it can be any python lib/framework etc for making games

@hidden kraken

[hidden kraken]

So you can use just python as a basic language?

[slate wagon]

I mean sure. You would probably be restricted to only TUI-based games if you're using nothing but pure Python, unless you're interacting with something like the windows API

[onyx basin]

but can i use pygame?

[slate wagon]

Yes

[velvet oyster]

Will the test for the game jam atay the same

I am talking about the table

?

Guys how do I register for the game jam ?

[unique glade]

pyweek.org/32

[velvet oyster]

So I register in that page and I am done

When do I have to do the test to have access to the game jam ?

[velvet oyster]

?

[unique glade]

There is no test

[unique glade]

Yes

[limpid heart]

no tests, just make a team, submit by the deadline and you can vote

[velvet oyster]

But there was a test for the game jam (make a table) before the last game jam

@limpid heart .

[limpid heart]

There was

[velvet oyster]

?

[limpid heart]

There was a test for last years summer code jam as well

there was also not a test for earlier this year's game jam

so the theme seems to be, game jam, no test, make your own team, submit a game

code jam = qualify and be assigned a team

game jam can run alone or with 222

code jam was teams of x

+/- 1

My guess is because you pick teams there's no qualifier

[velvet oyster]

Oh

[limpid heart]

be kinda rude to say your friend can't join your team because they didn't qualify

if the team is happy with the team let them be is the philosophy

[velvet oyster]

Oh thats cool

Thats a good change

[limpid heart]

they're different competitions

So they have different rules

[velvet oyster]

Oh so there is

[velvet oyster]

So there is a competition to join the game jam

[limpid heart]

no

the game jam is a competition

that has a set of rules

[velvet oyster]

Oh

Yeah thats it

[limpid heart]

and the code jam is a different one, with its own set

they are unrelated

[velvet oyster]

Yeah

[limpid heart]

the way the voting works is entirely different

The whole format is different, they just happen here 🙂

[velvet oyster]

Thats a big jump , a smart change

Oh

[limpid heart]

I think pyweek is much older than this server

[velvet oyster]

oof

[limpid heart]

based on being twice a year and pyweek 32

whereas discord is no more than 6 years old?

[velvet oyster]

Oh yeah

[limpid heart]

I quite like both concepts for the contests

still gotta find me a team for this game jam

But that's what the other channel is for

[velvet oyster]

I don't know maybe I will do it alone and may be not

I am 13 years old btw I have just 1 year experience with python @limpid heart

Is it bad ?

What about you ?

[limpid heart]

20+ years older with about the same experience in python

[velvet oyster]

Oh

XD

Haha

Oh what you are not 20 years old but 20 years older

Cool keep learning python

And enjoy

[gaunt sentinel]

Hi

[limpid heart]

Uh? This isn't #vertical-concert-videos-that-were-shot-landscape-why-oh-why-do-people-do-that

We discuss the pyweek game jam here, which is when we make games with python over the course of a week

[unique glade]

Yes this is not in the right channel. Krzysztof is right

[woven compass]

cant wait for pyweek game jam

[tepid wren]

When do signups end?

[unique glade]

I think they end on the last day of the competition (September 25)
#pyweek-game-jam message

[limpid heart]

yep, they end when the contest is over

[half valve]

tune

[unique glade]

Hi @hot flume , I have a couple of questions.

1. How is it possible to submit an entry with a description of what you want to code during the jam if the theme wasn't announced yet?
2. Is it possible to cancel my registration if I realize I can't participate for whatever reason?
   Thanks so much!

Btw sorry I keep pinging you, I just don't know anyone else who might be able to answer my questions. If you know someone else who might have the answers to my questions, please let me know. Thanks again!

[gentle aspen]

pyweek website is down?

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ilipuyiyuw.properties

[unique glade]

Yup

[sullen bear]

cc @woeful tree, looks like cert expired again

[vocal wasp]

expired again 👀

[woeful tree]

Oh, sorry folks, this was supposed to be automatically renewing on letsencrypt

[woeful tree]

What do you want to do with it? The website source code is here: https://github.com/pyweekorg/pyweekorg

I'm happy to look at pull requests but probably best to open an issue first describing what you want to do.

[tiny mesa]

The cert has not been fixed yet, no. Sorry for the delay, but both of us admins are having access issues to the VM (for various reasons). (and I am madly trying to run PyConline AU which is in just over a week from now, so I'm a little distracted 😛 )

[glacial hull]

Should've used https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy with automatic cert management ^^

[tiny mesa]

I am using automatic cert generation but it's failing for some reason and as I said both admins are without access to the server right now.

[clever schooner]

The link for the game jam is not safe

It says

What to do

HOW DO I CREATE A team!?!?

Sorry for caps

Pls

Somone

[vocal wasp]

it's safe, just that the cert haven't been fixed yet.

[gentle aspen]

@woeful tree

[woeful tree]

We're pursuing a migration to a new host, please stand by

[next patio]

Hey, is anything interested in teaming up?
Im a 15 year old from Germany and programming in Python since a year, already used pygame once for a really simple game.

Hit me up if ur interested!

[solid hollow]

dpy or other?

[next patio]

for the Python Game Jam :)

[mental ferry]

Hi i would like to join and team up

[onyx basin]

I would look for a team but I have no experience with PyGame

[unique glade]

This channel is for general discussions about PyWeek, please use #878682981789761536 if you would like to join a team

[round shoal]

when will the next game jam start after this one?

[unique glade]

That's long TBD. We haven't even started this one so there is no way the organizers are thinking about the next one already.

[craggy parrot]

I can't open the page

[onyx basin]

I live in europe and thats kn the middle kf the night flr me

Bruh

[woeful tree]

You have a whole week

[onyx basin]

Ahhh thx

[halcyon flint]

Do you have to use Pygame? Can I use pyglet?

Nevermind just read the rules

[limpid heart]

likely next March or so. It's every 6 months give or take

[limpid heart]

The event has been ongoing for I believe over a decade (if it's 2 a year and we're on 32 it'd be 16 years) they have a bit of a schedule at this point.

https://pyweek.org/challenges/ Pyweek1 was indeed in 2005. Almost all of them are either September/October or March/April

[woeful tree]

I think we will aim for end of March, make it as close to 6 months as we can

Might move a little to avoid conflicts with other popular jams

[sweet mica]

is godot allowed? to use as game engine?

[vocal wasp]

will need to check if its osi

ive just read the rules

but uh, i might be incorrect in parsing it

[woeful tree]

Only if you program it with Python: https://github.com/touilleMan/godot-python

[sweet mica]

nice and thank you

[dreamy tapir]

lez go

[unique glade]

Yay https://pyweek.org/32 is back up and running!

[unique glade]

Yeah you're right

[frozen oxide]

Pygame

[foggy pond]

when will be next gamejam

[random sinew]

September 19!

[wet osprey]

Is Pygame good for coding game lmao

[woeful tree]

Sure, depends on what you want to achieve

There are a lot of other game engines for Python: https://pyweek.readthedocs.io/en/latest/libraries.html

[wet osprey]

well I use PyKyra in school

[woeful tree]

I've not heard of that one

This thing that hasn't had a release since 2002? http://freshmeat.sourceforge.net/projects/pykyra

[sharp plank]

for pyweek, probably, pygame is good for smaller projects but if you want to develop something big pygame is not really what you want

[cold blade]

what is entry url?

[unique glade]

https://pyweek.org/32

[rich tiger]

Do I need to apply or something?

[unique glade]

Yes, you have to register to participate in PyWeek, and you can join solo or with a team. Use this link to register: https://pyweek.org/32
If you would like to join as a team, check out #878682981789761536 !

[gaunt portal]

I'm gonna be using game maker studio 2 is that allowed?

[real eagle]

Probably not, as that does not look like a Python library.

[gaunt portal]

Yea ig

Gtg

[tiny mesa]

Hmm. This PyWeek might be the one to give https://arcade.academy a try.

[idle star]

Please do! The 2.6 release is so fast, and if you want to make shaders, its a whole new world.

Tons of examples here to get ideas:

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

[rich fractal]

I hope more games are written in python in future.. 🙂, but not too much slow obviously

[foggy pond]

ı dont think so

[trail lichen]

oops

[onyx basin]

pygame exists

so you should probably have pygame as umm making a game out of only basic python

it's...

this.

yeah the code is complicated for a simple number guessing game like that.

oh and it gets even more complicated when going into games like.. say... hangman.

[outer blade]

what is tha?

[round swift]

Hello

[fathom estuary]

Hello

[sick harbor]

heello, i want to work together with a team who knows about 2d graphics game (pixel art ...), with pygame library , pls if you want dm me

[fervent horizon]

i NEED a team to enter in this game jam?

[olive gust]

no, you can enter solo too

[bronze orchid]

never done any pixel art until today

but heres my result

[west gull]

awesome 👏

[bronze orchid]

ty, do I need to put it onto a sprite sheet for use in pygame?

haven't looked much into this part yet

[west gull]

idk, I have never done these things, welcome

[woeful tree]

Everyone excited for theme poll reveal tonight? 😅

[vocal wasp]

not really /j

[fair radish]

hi guys, how good do you need to be to participate in this?

[sweet mica]

yes i am

[storm vault]

I don't really think there's much of a requirement, I guess you just use whatever you know and do your best.

[fair radish]

oh good

[bronze orchid]

hi guys. im using pygame for first time and just made my first animation. Should I format it as a sprite sheet for use in pygame?

[woeful tree]

Sure... but are you aware of rule 6? https://pyweek.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rules.html#existing-artwork-music-and-sound-effects-may-be-used

You are not allowed to create art for your games before the competition, unless you publish it somewhere like https://opengameart.org/

[bronze orchid]

Yeah im not premaking anything for the jam. Just want to get some muscle memory of how to do it...i am very new to all this lol

[bronze orchid]

I mostly just posted here cause i was having trouble getting an answer in other channels

[woeful tree]

Ok, cool. So if you create sprite sheets then you have to crop the frames out of them after loading

PyGame doesn't have built-in support for sprite sheets

You could also save the frames out as separate images like man-walk-right-001.png and then load them as separate images

[bronze orchid]

Okay cool. Thank you

Heres my first attempt at pixel art i think it came out decent

[unique glade]

Yes I am!

[undone sparrow]

[glossy trail]

is this the chat for help for pygame?

[low pike]

I'm not sure, I think it's just general stuff about the pyweek game jam

[glossy trail]

i need help with pygame tho...

[sullen bear]

check #game-development, this is for pyweek

[glossy trail]

ok

thanks

[onyx basin]

theme voting starts soon?!

I'm so curious what it'll be this time

same

maybe it'll be goats this time

i want to participate

this time

it's always a super exciting time for me

is it your first?

yep

oh you've won

cooooool

yeah a few times

but only thanks to a really amazing team

which I won't be having this time round so I'll probably do less great :P

good luck tho

im working with my friend

Yeah you too. What library will you be using?

only one i am familiar with as of now is pygame

a good choice

I really like pygame's surface.scroll() function

yep

i made this thing where you fall and dodge objects

cool, I've made something like that too a while back

scroll() would do great there

yea

I once made a teleglitch clone in pygame

though I wasn't smart enough to get the procedural levels in

but I got that field of vision stuff working it was a lot of work

cool

sorry i gtg

see you later

bye

I will continue talking though

I also made a visual novel thingy in pygame that you scripted with .csv

but now I use panda3d and it is the greatest thing ever

if anyone here needs any help with that you can tag me

it can draw pretty much anything

[onyx basin]

I hope one of the themes involves space

or spirituality

[woeful tree]

The themes have been drawn and uploaded!

[chilly bane]

Good luck to you all! Looks fun... beyond my level though.. I'm new!

[onyx basin]

exciting!

[onyx basin]

pyweek is for all levels! you can even make a game with just print() and input()

[onyx basin]

whoop cool themes

mothership go!

[unique glade]

Where did you find the themes?

[limpid heart]

I pressed vote

[onyx basin]

Mothership
Twelve Steps
Neverending
Poison Ivy
Sushi

[unique glade]

Ah ok thx

[unique glade]

Yeah I got it

Thx

[onyx basin]

neverending would be cool too

[limpid heart]

13254

[onyx basin]

yeah me too xD

[limpid heart]

for real?

[onyx basin]

yes exactly

if mothership is chosen I guess we'll see a lot of space games, fulfilling my wish earlier!

[hot flume]

🍣

[onyx basin]

Sushi would be interesting too. Unagi is my favorite food ever.

[hot flume]

If the theme is sushi I maaaay participate. I feel like it'd be super fun to make sushi characters

or a restaurant/sushi management game. I love those types of games

[onyx basin]

yeah or fishing minigames

whatever happens I think I know what i want gameplay wise

[patent zealot]

I hope it's not poison ivy

Mothership would be interesting

[chilly bane]

Is there a list of requirements and also previous examples? Where can I find more information please?

[distant creek]

[pure stirrup]

is there a program that can send videos in this site: https://cartoonize-lkqov62dia-de.a.run.app | and then download the output result?

pls help me find a code or program

[pure stirrup]

anyone? [it has been 30mins]

any answers?

[woeful tree]

I think you may be lost. This channel is for discussing the PyWeek game jam. You should use a help channel.

[pure stirrup]

oh yea. srry

[onyx basin]

all the themes are really good btw!

a lot better than last time xD

[onyx basin]

can you still sign up for the gamejam or is registration closed

[hot flume]

you can still sign up!

[onyx basin]

oh ok thank you

[gentle aspen]

what field is required?

[unique glade]

The text to appear on your profile page I think

[gentle aspen]

you are right

[restive vortex]

uwu

[random sinew]

I won't be able to participate, but just sayin', sushi is the best theme of all

[steady pelican]

this jam seems fun but im probably gonna participate next year

[unreal plume]

What have i done

It goes on for longer

[dreamy haven]

Wht is entry url

Im trying to register wht do i do

Som1 help

[limpid heart]

sign up

you have until the last second of the jam to register / submit an entry

https://pyweek.org/ top right corner Register Once logged in https://pyweek.org/32/entry_add/

Technically I think the site's always accepting new registrants

entries are limited to jam times schedules

[sweet mica]

you know in the code jam they said duck was the best theme, but the duck didn't win

[modern dust]

can I still enter?

[random sinew]

I did say duck was a bad theme smh

[random sinew]

Yup!

[modern dust]

Ah ok cool, I saw Pre-registration open was crossed so I was scared I didnt make it in time lol

[keen spade]

time to cancel akarys

[modern dust]

can I change my username on the pyweek.org website somehow?

[unique glade]

Afaik, you cannot, unfortunately. I tried doing it and I don't see such an option anywhere.

[modern dust]

ah rip

[sharp plank]

are pyweek judges allowed to judge based off of the code

or can they only judge based off the actual game

because im looking at the docs right now and technically code might count as "production"

[hot flume]

PyWeek judges is the community at large. In the case of what the rules say, production is the general production of the game, probably not the code.

[limpid heart]

I ended up abandoning my old account and making a new one

[bronze orchid]

wtf is this latin? lol

[woeful tree]

https://www.lipsum.com/

[bronze orchid]

Fascinating

[toxic bough]

for some reason when i try signing up in https://www.pygame.org/register it says invalid email so i cant make a account

[unique glade]

You need to register on pyweek.org/32

[toxic bough]

ok thank you

[viscid canopy]

btw what are the prizes for pyweek?

[unique glade]

I believe that's TBD

[hot flume]

PyWeek Champion role, the envy from everyone else

[viscid canopy]

TBD?

[storm vault]

To Be Dated.

[viscid canopy]

oh cool

ohk

[storm vault]

Or To Be Determined.

[viscid canopy]

alright

[bronze orchid]

Just for fun little pixel art practice

[unique glade]

Nice! I like it!

[severe leaf]

man thats so good

[unique glade]

Yeah

[fathom estuary]

are you allowed to make assets for you game before the game jam?

[vocal wasp]

The goal is to provide a level playing field for all participants, so any resources used during the game jam must be available prior to the jam starting and be available and accessible to all the other participants.

There are more detailed requirements for what libraries are allowed, so please refer to this page for more details.

read #pyweek-faq

i cant create hyperlink in discord

@fathom estuary

[fathom estuary]

ok

[worn shore]

so what is pyweek all about?

is there a fee for entering the code jam?

[quaint lichen]

there's no fee you're free to enter

but its a game jam not a code jam

so you will be making games according to the theme

using one of the allowed libraries

[woeful tree]

You can use any library, there isn't a list

Providing the library meets the rules

Off-topic channels

There are three off-topic channels:
• #ot0-psvm’s-eternal-disapproval

First of all, I don't think that's a valid command, second, please use #bot-commands for all bot commands.

[honest laurel]

Can I too join py-week challenge?? Because I am not a master in python coding like you all; but I still might be of some help and assistance(in a team).

Awaiting for your reasonable reply

Please reply at your earliest..

[onyx basin]

Maybe ask in #878682981789761536

Of course you can join!

[honest laurel]

But who will take such a noob in team??

[unique glade]

You can join solo

[honest laurel]

Done. Thanks for assistance..

[unique glade]

Np

[dusty whale]

Wait can anyone join because I’m really bad but I think it would be fun to try

[unique glade]

Yes, anyone can join! If you don't feel great about yourself, then your best bet is to join solo.

[dusty whale]

Oh

Yay

Hi

👋 hi everyone

[vestal tangle]

Can I still sign up for pyweek?

[vocal wasp]

yeah i think so

[vestal tangle]

I don't see a button to sign up anymore on the site tho

[vocal wasp]

oh

perhaps try pressing the log in button you'll get to sign up

i forgot how i get it worked the first time

*oops it's the register button

[hot flume]

You should be able to sign up still. Once you're logged into your account, you just need to register an Entry. It should be under the dropdown for your account (top right)

[vestal tangle]

I see

Maybe it's not visible because I'm currently on mobile?

[hot flume]

Hmmmm, hamburger menu -> your account name -> Register Entry?

[vestal tangle]

Ohh now I see it

I had to put it into landscape mode

Ty

[blazing fossil]

Can i use godot for my game, as it uses gdsccript which is similar to python?

or any other game engine instead of direct coding?

[onyx basin]

no @blazing fossil

[blazing fossil]

aight but Panda3D is allowed D:

[onyx basin]

panda has python bindings

[blazing fossil]

godot has it too if im not wrong

[hot flume]

If you use the python bindings for godot that's totally fine~

[blazing fossil]

https://github.com/touilleMan/godot-python this one right?
Oh and also in which format should i submit my game

[hot flume]

yup! That's the one.

As for how to submit your game, check out this link: https://pyweek.readthedocs.io/en/latest/packaging.html

wait wait wait

wait a minute

godot has python bindings?

[austere hawk]

[hasty fern]

can we use a game engine that can be coded with python?

Hey @nocturne fjord!

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

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

[woeful tree]

Pygame

[woeful tree]

No

[loud mica]

Hi everyone...
Is there any problem if the game is more like a story telling?

Something like "you have multiple options, select one and watch the story going until next choice" ...

[limpid heart]

We judge each other's games

So make what you want 🙂 narrative games are still games

[loud mica]

Yey. Thanks 🤗

[limpid heart]

Interesting to make a narrative with the theme, I'm intrigued 🙂

[loud mica]

I'm trying something that is unexpected and at the same time expected. Even if it's the worst game, I'm learning a lot from this haha

[obtuse condor]

what is a good python game engine?

[valid prairie]

Would this library be ok to use? https://pypi.org/project/crashreport/

[limpid heart]

All that matters is what you learn along the way, not if you get the coveted pink name

[still canopy]

Using GitHub Copilot is by no means cheating, correct?

[valid prairie]

I wouldn't think so

[valid prairie]

The repo is only 16 days old, but would that matter much since its only job is for making crash dumps?

Also, I started my project: https://github.com/Gaming32/Pyweek32Sandbox

[tribal crow]

A hey i am to to gamejams how to like participate ? And submit the project ?

[unique glade]

Hey! If you want to join PyWeek, you want to create an account on https://pyweek.org/32 and create an entry by going to the top right corner of the page where you see your username, click on it and select "register entry". Then, fill out the required information that appears on the page. Let me know if you have any other questions.

deciding to switch to godot python after racking my head at relearning pygame

[vocal wasp]

good luck

[vestal tangle]

thx, i work much better in godot so i think i'll do better than with pygame

[valid prairie]

May I get an answer about whether or not I can use the crash dumping library?

https://pypi.org/project/crashreport/

[woeful tree]

Not really. There isn't an adjudicator. PyWeek is judged by other entrants who will make their own minds up whether to vote to disqualify an entry.

Personally it doesn't bother me if you use it.

You could always use it in development and turn it off when you release.

[valid prairie]

That's true

Or make it an optional dependency :)

Where if the users have it installed, it uses it

Otherwise it uses a fallback

[cobalt ibex]

This has only been out for 9 days?

they have been published to a public searchable index such as PyPI, GitHub, or this handbook for at least 30 days before the competition;

[valid prairie]

It's not a core library though

Just a crash dump

[vestal tangle]

damn godot python is pretty nice.

only thing i couldn't do is autoload

[north kestrel]

is databases allowed?, like sqlite3, its not in libraries but idk

[vestal tangle]

yea im pretty sure

sry i don't know abt that

If anyone is using arcade 2.6: There is a small bug that can case some border artifacts on sprites in 2.6.2. We'll release a new version very soon to fix this. It's especially a problem when zooming or when using hidps displays. The build in camera might also get zoom support in 2.6.3.

You can also just use the development branch directly : https://github.com/pythonarcade/arcade/archive/refs/heads/development.zip

[woeful tree]

Your partner is supposed to have an account. As a last-ditch option, you can add "anonymous" as a team member

Your partner won't be able to give awards or rate other entries without an account

how we all doing so far

[vestal tangle]

pretty good

gonna start work on the main mechanics

[woeful tree]

I've been working on juice this morning, it is going well. Pretty explosions

[vestal tangle]

amazing

[vagrant kraken]

Hi all, weird to ask but if anyone needs I can do code reviews starting from 24th

[woeful tree]

Fun fact, I have almost no classes in my code. It's all coroutines: https://github.com/lordmauve/axium/blob/master/axium.py

[vestal tangle]

asynchronous code in games 👀

is that a feature of wasabi or only in axium?

I use pyweek to experiment with unusual game dev paradigms. Last time I did a web-based game using brython to code a game in a javascript game engine. This time I'm just using pysdl2 but doing all of the game logic in a purely functional programming style. Like Mauve, I too have very few classes, and exactly 0 in the game logic so far. The only classes are in the minimal engine I've implemented.

[onyx basin]

I haven't written a single line of code yet, I've just been animating like an idiot :P

but ok ok here goes!

[mellow iris]

argh I want to participate this yr but sed I can't

[sweet mica]

hey will we get that Pyweek(AAAaaa) role?

[unique glade]

I don't think that's for the participants

I'm pretty sure it's a staff role

[sweet mica]

ok

[quaint lichen]

Can we use markdown in the diary?

[woeful tree]

You can use a subset of HTML. The editor is WYSIWYG

[quaint lichen]

thanks 🙂 btw the headings seem to not work after saving...

might be a bug

[solid star]

FYI: If someone is using arcade 2.6 you should upgrade to 2.6.3 (released just now). It has some critical bug fixes.

[vocal wasp]

someone send the timestamp of when will the event end ty

ty

[woeful tree]

The dates of this challenge are are 00:00 UTC Sept. 19, 2021 to 00:00 UTC Sept. 26, 2021.

[woeful tree]

A small dev vlog

Hmm, mkv might not be the ideal video format

Does mp4 work better?

[olive gust]

looks cool!

[vestal tangle]

gamejams are fun but make me forget simple things like lyrics of songs

yikes

[cobalt ibex]

Woah awesome!

[random sinew]

hah, that's super cool! What are you playing on (I mean like your controller)?

[woeful tree]

8bitdo N30 Pro 2

I have three of them

[random sinew]

lol, multiplayer plays oorrr?

[woeful tree]

(I added joystick hotplugging support to PyGame so I could use them)

[woeful tree]

Wasabi2D cannot currently split the screen :(

[random sinew]

[woeful tree]

I could try to add that feature in the next 3 days. I don't think it is super hard.

But the rest of my game isn't finished either. Need more enemies and buildings and power ups

[sterile kettle]

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but how about sockets?

Actually, that sounds really cumbersome lol, nvm

[woeful tree]

Writing netcode for my whole game would be much harder than implementing support for rendering multiple viewports onto the same scene

[slender talon]

can i still join py week?

[hot flume]

Yup!

[slender talon]

ok

[vestal tangle]

is copyrighted music allowed?

such as music from other games

[woeful tree]

Only if it is published under an OSI-approved or Creative Commons license: https://pyweek.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rules.html#existing-artwork-music-and-sound-effects-may-be-used

[bronze orchid]

I might be out in the backyard recording custom sounds here soon

😂

Iphone quality

[velvet oyster]

hey guys

did Pyweek start ?!

I think that I've missed it 😭

[hot flume]

It has started! There's still time to work on stuff and submit an entry though

[velvet oyster]

nah I can't anymore 😭

I am late

I want each moment in the jam

I can't wast 4 days

[velvet oyster]

well I think that I can join in the next one. its ok

I think that its like on may

[foggy stratus]

Isn't it once a year

So the next jam is around this time, yeah?

[hot flume]

PyWeek is twice a year~

We generally try to have it in March and September of each year although the exact dates shift based on timing and not having conflicts with other events

[foggy stratus]

Ah OK

[woeful tree]

Challenge accepted from@random sinew ! Axium Day 5 devlog

[random sinew]

AAYYY

Well done!

[cobalt ibex]

Woah that's awesome, nice progress

[real eagle]

That's amazing!

[solid star]

Nice transition 🙂

[north raven]

That actually looks fun af I'd love to play that

[nimble nebula]

yea same

[valid prairie]

My game is coming together!

||Next steps: Caves (plan: multiple octaves of Simplex Noise, squared together), actual mutability, chunk loading, sprites||

Farther future: actual multiplayer, biomes (maybe)

[vestal tangle]

axium probably gonna win this pyweek

[solid star]

Too early to say 😉

the proof is in the pudding etc..

Fun is also subjective and affects the score

[twilit canopy]

I'm having a bit of an odd issue right now

has anyone had objects teleport after pymunk does a physics step?

specifically, teleporting to 0,0 after the physics step. Beforehand, they're in position somewhere in the world where they're confirmed to briefly exist

[twilit canopy]

Solved: in arcade, setting the state of the object after it's added to pymunk isn't really supported well right now

[twilit canopy]

Is arcade 2.6.3 too recent to be allowed under the current rules of pyweek? I just noticed that it released on the 21st

[vestal tangle]

if you mean clause 6.2 A, then i dont think that applies to arcade 2.6.3 because it's publicly available to everyone

just finished sfx for my game, i think i'm finished :)

used my new and shiny guitar effects pedal to make 8 bit sfx 👀 for the first time

[vestal tangle]

I'm trying to submit my entry but it says entity too large :(

[vestal tangle]

are entries beyond a certain file size not allowed?

[livid abyss]

When will be the next pyweek happen?👀

[hot flume]

They happen twice a year, we try to schedule them around September and March, but it can shift a bit

[hot flume]

That's going to be a question for @woeful tree

[vestal tangle]

aight

[woeful tree]

How big?

[vestal tangle]

150 MB or so

[winged latch]

what if i suck and just got here but want to participate

can i and when does this one end

[vestal tangle]

It ends in about 24 hours
