Using an engine tho

[@sauliustb]

quality of a project can't be measured in number of lines. If you have a different coding style you can easily create more lines without reducing or even improving readability. Also, (still at the start of the video, so not sure what's in the Pynecraft game), snake needs quite a bit of logic that a minecraft clone doesn't need, whereas snake also needs a world to move in...

[@nightfallalicorn4246]

This is quite fascinating. I like how this engine simplifies the process of making a game in an easy-to-learn language like Python with very little code. It removes the complicated parts of 3D Math, collusion, player camera, etc while just leaving the programmer just attaching the objects (Entity) and setting up their properties. I hadn't seen anything this light. I think this engine has great future potential.

Ursina comes with it's own sky function. Sky() does everything you have here without having to create a custom class for it.

[@DroidZed]

Small update on the new version of Ursina and this video : if you want to specify a color and change the shading do as follows: color = color.Color(color.hsv(hue,saturation,random.uniform(.9,1.0))) # the third parameter is value , check the HSV color system for more info .... if you also question as this is only a tuple with 3 elements : check the Color class and you can see that there is a forth default argument a = 1 ! No need to meedle with that only if you know what you're doing. The cause of this if you did like in the vid there would be an error thrown just before the game renders anything and yall get confused : the constructor of the Color class expects a Vec4 (as Color enhreits from Vec4 basically) and you can notice this in the init function of Color. Hope it helps !

[@AleksanderFimreite]

To supply a possible answer to what confused you at around 27:18... It's most common to define colors in the RGB color space. But there are quite a lot of other popular color spaces also. This one looks like it might be using one called HSV. (Hue, Saturation, Value) Hue is a range of 0 - 256 (possibly 255), While Saturation and Value are both 0.0 - 1.0

[@kodd10]

Wow! So simple! Ursina is beautifully clean!

[@jac278]

I think the colour values are HSV: Hue changed the colour but with no saturation it didn't change, The Hue was 0 which is usually red when you changed saturation, And the grey change was the Value (or Lightness)

[@ZenoDovahkiin]

So regarding the thing at around 9:50, I don't know Ursina, so I don't know if it caches loaded textures in some way, but loading a texture from file at each call could otherwise create a new texture instance every time at runtime. For textures that are reused very often, this might have a performance impact, so unless Ursina handles this already, I would advise people to do as the video does and use one variable for the texture unless you need to make instance specific modifications.
