#🔒 Can someone help me with the jump code for my 2D game?

I decided to start learning programming and decided to make a 2D game in Python to get used to Python. My idea is to make a game that mixes the obstacles of Celeste and the jumping system of Flappy Bird. However, I really don't know how to make Python execute an action for a certain time and then stop and cool down before it can execute again. My idea is to make the player, after pressing the jump button, go up for a while and then stop going up, and have to wait to jump again. I had tested some codes and I will leave the code I used below the text. If someone could point out my error and teach me or send me the code of how to do it, I would really appreciate it.

#variable for when the key is pressed
keys = pygame.key.get_pressed()

loop = True

the jump button command I made

if keys[pygame.K_w]:
move_y -= jump

the code I tried to use to set the jump limit while loop:

pygame.time.get_ticks()

tick = 0

duration_of_jump = 300

if tick - duration_of_jump > duration_of_jump:

loop = False

Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Formatting code on Discord

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

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

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

For long code samples, you can use our pastebin.

Can you show more of your code, a pygame game usually requires an infinite loop

#

something like (this is pseudo code)

while True:
  clock tick
  handle input
  update game state
  update screen
#

plus some lines to open files, init pygame etc.
