do you hav a link to all the graphics you used??

[@jakelanghel8917]

nvm I didn't notice the github link lol thank you.. I've been trying to teach myself how to program and this is by far one of the best tutorials I have found for free!!! super detailed and you explain everything!! alot of other tutorial I felt like I was just copying what they were doing but not rly understanding why im doing it!! thanks again

[@marnierogers3931]

If anyone is new here and gets stuck around the 40min mark returning an attribute error. Try adding a double underscore before and after __init__. I just learnt a looooong lesson that I'll now never forget! haha

[@kafactz7710]

Thanks bro

this does nothing

yor channel is INSANELY underrated. I've seen many pygame tutorials yet I only understood 100% of what I was told is in your video, you explain everything so in depth and stop at every line of code to explain. You give examples and even show little animations to show us what you're trying to say. 10/10 keep it up man

[@UniquelyMadeIAm]

This is so true!!! Keep making these please

[@flippingflipbooks565]

I am currently learning Python, but I don't know ANYTHING about pygame! I really wanted to learn it: My main motive for learning programming was to make games! You are the best person for me to help me learn. You add in litte bits of humor, so your vids aren't just plain coding. I really think that you are the best!

[@uskumru3106]

Python is realy bad choice if you want making game

[@ПожилойСкарабей]

Hey friend! How did it go for you?

[@No3inator]

yeah after learning python you can easily start using Godot using gd script which is 90% similar to python because python just has many bad things in game development which you cant avoid

[@Bluemoon_wav]

@@No3inator could you tell me in a broad way what those "bad things" are?

[@jeremyhubaker1199]

IF YOU REALLY WANT TO MAKE GAMES THEN YOU NEED TO LEARN C++ ,C#, JAVA YOU WILL BE LIMITED WITH PYTHON AS IT IS BETTER SUITED FOR DATA MANIPULATION AND BACK ND STUFF. ALTHOUGH PYTHON IS A GOOD START BECAUSE IT IS SIMPLE

I just found out your stuff. I was blown away by the amount of detail and effort you put into your videos! Your channel seems golden! Can’t wait to watch all your python game-developing related videos. Keep up with those awesome simple projects! 😎

Best tutorial of snake game ever found on KZbin

[@kareemyounes7371]

Just pixel perfect tutorial. I think there is a small bug, not sure if I am the only one having this; however, if you press the down arrow key and right arrow key (while moving to the left) the snake will turn into its self. My solution is I added a variable called moved = False (in class Snake) that I used to make sure the snake moved before talkin in another input. I am not sure if this is the best solution, but it works.

[@DarkSideYT]

hey can u please share detailed step how to solve that bug! soon

[@nathanwhite704]

Ive been working on this tutorial for nearly 6 hours and im only half way through it, programming is fun but challenging I spent an hour fixing indentation errors.

[@nullifier_]

Thank you so much! You helped me create my first game ever. I even added things like out-of-bound wrapping check for when the snake goes outside of the grid and tail cut for when the head intercepts the body

[@jananni123456789]

Such clean, logical, well organised code!

[@andrewmaksimovich2432]

This is an amazing tutorial and I'm really grateful for it. I was wondering about a a small bug I encountered that when I press two arrow keys at the same time, like trying to turn around, the snake crashes. Just curious, is this related to how we handle key events, and is there an easy fix? Another thing I found was that at the beginning the reason why the snake doesn't move is because the game is constantly resetting, as the snake collides with itself for some reason. I found this out when I added a sound to the player losing. Nonetheless, this tutorial has been a great help and, being the beginning programmer I am, figuring out how the game works and bugs I encountered has taught me a lot.

[@thojmen8585]

I wanted to creat snake game in python i saw so many tutorials could do the code and it worked but i wasn't satisfied cuz i understood only partly. But ur vids are amazing the differences u show between surfaces and display surface, explaining each line code. Just prefect 🤗🤗

[@shariqshaikh2421]

I am getting an error about FRUIT class at 39:27. It says that 'Fruit' object has no attribute 'pos' after running it.

[@teyzx123]

its because u probably did a single underscore for init (_init_) when it should be __init__

[@chiragaparadh1417]

Sooo good of a tutorial...2 things...we can use only one image of head, body and tail by transfroming them(rotating), and i found a bug....if i change direction very fast i go in reverse direction and i loose the game...

[@thojmen8585]

Awesome code and tutorial but I noticed 1 little flaw what can effect the game a lot. Right now you only check when you press left if the snake is going right. But if you press up or down and then quickly or at the same time left it breaks that and still goed directly left and causes you to die❤

[@anemomenoma]

you can store the movements in a separete variable. newDirection = None if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN: if event.key == pygame.K_UP and main.snake.direction != Vector2(0,1): newDirection = Vector2(0,-1) if event.key == pygame.K_DOWN and main.snake.direction != Vector2(0,-1): newDirection = Vector2(0,1) if event.key == pygame.K_LEFT and main.snake.direction != Vector2(1,0): newDirection = Vector2(-1,0) if event.key == pygame.K_RIGHT and main.snake.direction != Vector2(-1,0): newDirection = Vector2(1,0) if newDirection: main.snake.direction = newDirection

[@charlesmartinjr3971]

Okay, so let's be real: I actually created a snake game last year using a different "teaching" channel. The channel was awful. I had the game at the end, but I had on earthly idea what any of the code meant, how it worked, or how to replicate it. I'm 5 minutes into your video, and I already learned more stuff in that five minutes - without even coding anything - than I did *making the project at the other channel.* Keep up the great work, my friend!

[@PixelGaming_2020]

Really good tutorial. You explained everything in amazing detail. With a few other tutorials, they move too quickly, which causes me to have errors in my code that I don't know how to correct. This one is nicely paced, and I end up with a fully working and functional snake game.

If you're having issues with your game running too slow, try this: import pygame import time window = pygame.display.set_mode((screendimensionshere)) last = time.time_ns() numberOfTicks = 60.0 ns = 1_000_000_000 / numberOfTicks delta = 0 running = True while running: now = time.time_ns() delta += (now - last) / ns last = now while delta >= 1: delta -= 1 for event in pygame.event.get(): if event.type == pygame.QUIT: running = False # event loop goes here # surface updates goes here pygame.display.update() pygame.quit() I hope this helps!

[@blankcanvas3554]

You can set the take the modulo of the block's x and y values and set those as the new values... def draw(self): for block in self.body: # Wrap around window block.x = block.x % cell_num block.y = block.y % cell_num x_pos = int(block.x * cell_size) y_pos = int(block.y * cell_size) ...

[@JohnSmith952]

Every your video is pure gold

[@PennyThePerson]

There is a better way to right the checker board draw_grass. If you add the row to the col 3 things can happen: 1. odd + odd 2. odd+even 3. even+even. Only instances 1 and 3 is the outcome even. If you create an if statement that take the sum of the col and row and mod 2 then you can create the def without writing the same for loop for col (or row) twice. Example shown below. def drawGrass(self): grassColor = (167, 209, 61) for row in range(cellNumber): for col in range(cellNumber): if (col + row) % 2 == 1: grassRect = pygame.Rect(col * cellSize, row * cellSize, cellSize, cellSize) pygame.draw.rect(screen, grassColor, grassRect)

[@GUITARATION]

can anyone tell me how to slow down snake speed in my game it is moving too fast that i can't even touch the fruit..plz answer my question i will be gratefull if you answer.

[@basharjbour9783]

GUITARATION you can change the screen_update timer so the snake movment, collision will happen slower. SCREEN_UPDATE = pygame.USEREVENT pygame.time.set_timer(SCREEN_UPDATE,*150*) although its very laggy and you can't change the speed directly because the snake movment depends on the screen number of cells i think changing the number of cells or squares on the screen is better cell_size = 20 cell_number = *30*

[@GUITARATION]

Thanks Bashar Jbour 👍👍

[@Xnothen]

conceptualizing the vector for the corner of the snake was a real headache for me, if anyone else is having issue understanding it then perhaps getting a pen and some paper and drawing it personally will make it easier, at least it did for me. good luck

[@MrMatt30987]

Hello. New to python, great video, I understand most of it, I probably need to watch it again, a few times! I found a glitch in the game I am trying to fix, but I can't get my head around it. if you press up and left really fast the snake eats itself, this is easily simulated by changing screen update to 1500 or something outrageous. Why does this happen? I think its because when the key is pressed the direction is changed, so when pressing the second key within the screen update time window the failsafe of if main_game.snake.direction.x != 1: doesn't work because the direction has already changed, even though the block doesn't actually "move" yet, due to the slow screen refresh. I can replicate this down to 5ms screen update, with cell size 1, so its not like I can increase speed to fix it. I don't think I understand the relationship of the while true loop to the pygame.time setting. I think the loop is running really fast, but the screen event is only called/updated every x ms. If thats the case it means I can press many keys before the loop picks up the actual position. Do I need to put a timer on the event.key somehow? I'm lost.

[@andrecarneiro1256]

Amazing tutorial. However, has anyone found a bug when clicking left and down arrow error almost simultanely when going up? It's like since the user is clicking super fast in 2 arrow keys the snake would hit itself missing some validation or whatever.

[@dominiknowec9837]

I was thinking a little and i come up with idea that there may be a better way to check body block and it's relation with previous and next blocks. if ... # head elif ... # tail else: # body # First i have created a list of nearby_blocks that contains Vector2 of next block and Vector2 of previous block. nearby_body = [self.body[index-1], self.body[index+1]] if block + Vector2(0, 1) in nearby_body: # Then i check if one of nearby blocks is under currect block if block + Vector2(-1, 0) in nearby_body: # If there is one under then i check if second of them is on the current_block's left screen.blit(self.body_bl, block_rect) # There are nearby blocks under and on its left so it's ╗(body_bottomleft) elif block + Vector2(0, -1) in nearby_body: # If second of them is not on the current block's left then mabye it is above it screen.blit(self.body_vertical, block_rect) # There are nearby blocks under and above it so it's ║ (body_vertical) else block + Vector2(1, 0) in nearby_body: # If it is not on current block's left nor above it then it must be on it's right screen.blit(self.body_br, block_rect) # There are nearby blocks under and on its right so it's ╔ (body_bottomright) elif block + Vector2(0, -1) in nearby_body: # If under current block there are no nearby blocks then maybe there's one above it if block + Vector2(-1, 0) in nearby_body: # If there is one above then i check if second of them is on the current block's left screen.blit(self.body_tl, block_rect) # There are nearby blocks above and on its left so it's ╝ (body_topleft) else block + Vector2(1, 0) in nearby_body: # If second of them isn't on its left then it must be on its right screen.blit(self.body_tr, block_rect) # There are nearby blocks above and on its right so it's ╚ (body_topright) else: # If there are no nearby blocks under nor above current block then there must be on its left and on its right screen.blit(self.body_horizontal, block_rect) # There are nearby blocks on its left and right so its ═ (body_horizontal) I just dont know how much resource consuming is "in list" operation, but whole code seems more intuitive at least for me
