I would create them at random heights, and place them in a list. Just create them all at the beginning. Iterate over the list to move them.

I've done something similar with turtle graphics.

[stark cradle]

Oh I forgot to say i want the seperation distance to be PIPE_SEPARATION = 300

But still same thing, I apprecaite the help

[frigid wharf]

I would define like certain limits, like limit for pipe 1 and then u can generate the other witha pipe separation

yea exactly that

and idk use random library for pipe generation

[stark cradle]

and like pipe_gap

[frigid wharf]

yea

[stark cradle]

I think I kinda off understand how I'll have a try

[buoyant yacht]

I'm at work on my phone, so I can't help with the details, but the general approach should help. Objects off the screen aren't visible

[stark cradle]

Oh yeah objects need to be deleted when off the screen too

[frigid wharf]

ping me when u make it or u have a doubt

[stark cradle]

but thats just like .delete or something right?

[frigid wharf]

u can create like a list with temporary objects changing all the time ig

[stark cradle]

Just real quick should pipe_gap be a constant in the gui class

or just self._pipe_gap = 300 is fine?

[stark cradle]

while pipe seperation is constant

[frigid wharf]

i would make it global variable since u wont be changing it but if ur making it with a class better be self.pipe etc

[stark cradle]

Nah I think i understand actually maybe they should both be constants in the gui class

Thanks 🙂

[frigid wharf]

yw

[frigid wharf]

Remember this

[stark cradle]

Okay i'll have a crack at it all ping if i need help tysm

[stark cradle]

sorry dont mean to bother but do you think I should maybe return when the pipes are off the screen in this function which is in the pipe class. Adding something like this
self._x + self._pipe_width < 0
Or is there a different method you'd do?

So that they can be deleted
