Making FPS Games in Python

So this was a relatively brief video about fps games made with python and what they generally look like using it.
In short, it's definitely doable, but if you want something more complex and detailed, you may be better off using something
like Unity, Unreal or Godot. Otherwise, you can still minimalistic but fun 3d games with Python.
Also, another thing I forgot to point out. Most python game projects usually don't have an executable and will require you to have Python installed on your computer, including the libraries that were used to build them.
But there are exceptions that do have an exe file.
Also, wrappers..Not Rappers.

I think one reason why people are interested in python game engines is because there is so much job opportunities for python developers. Learning how to program by making games is an awesome way to learn a language and if you know python, you can find jobs for almost any industry.

[@jcdentonunatco]

its interesting for sure, but python is actually one of the worst languages to make a game or game engine in. The reason being is that it runs up to 100x times slower than the current game engine standard language, C++. Is it possible to use Python, for sure. But should you? Not unless its purely for educational purposes

TF2 remake in Panda3D is a proof that you can make a game with any level of detail and quality in Python, because the core of those engines are written in C++. I'm also working on a TPS game in Python and Panda3D.

Honestly, you can create almost anything in any programming language. I use both C++ and Python, and while C++ is faster, Python is much less stressful to work with. Choose the programming language that you enjoy working with and know the best

[@brokenportals]

Absolutely. And Rust has been getting some game dev treatment too with the Bevy Engine, as well as other games with custom engines written in the language.

You can code in most languages if you know one. They are all the same. The computer is just taking instructions.

[@demonman1234]

@@Hacktheplanet_The main concept is similar: functions, variables, data types, etc, just relearning the nuances of different languages is definitely tedious… (trust me.. I’ve done it too many times). However, if you know Java, you pretty much know C# and vice versa. Very similar languages.

[@lifeland9004]

3:33 Panda3d isn't really outdated. It's continued to receive updates throughout the years, and then you can also link to other libraries (whether they were designed around panda3d or not) to increase it's functionallity. I.E. bullet physics and complexPBR. It's just that it might look primitive because it's more up to the user to make something look nice. As a metaphor: On a sliding scale from Raw ingredients to Microwave dinner, Panda3d is closer to raw ingredients while engines like unity are closer to the middle. While it's more up to the user's skill to create something amazing, it's far easier to create exactly what you have in mind, while with unity, it takes more effort to create something substantially different. (I.E. super weird non-Euclidean graphics.)

[@brokenportals]

It's true you can increase its capabilities. But almost no one who wants to develop games is doing it. In the case of creativity, it just boils down to the creator at the end of the day. Plenty of amazing and unique experiences have been made with unity and unreal.

[@Fluid_Genius]

Wow that TF2 clone looks incredible.

[@CyrillKR]

Python is a very useful language and its philosophy for keeping simplicity (simple doesn't mean easy, you still need to put in effort with rather complex systems) makes it a great scripting and prototyping tool. I believe that it's a great tool for learning rudimentary game logic programming, game design with coding and project organization. There's a great channel called Coder Space which is worth shouting out, there's a lot of great in-depth "walkthroughs", like creating ray-casting engines like in Wolfenstein 3D and Doom using Pygame. I believe that anyone putting an effort in making a simple shooter in Python will have a much easier time migrating to "proper" game engines later on. Maybe even designing their own engine in a lower level language.

[@brokenportals]

Of course. Even with the addition of libraries, you still have to be realistic as to what can actually be done with it. Godot is a fantastic alternative since it has a language with some syntax that's similar to Python and supports other languages.

[@famaral42]

thanks for the summary. Do you know how easy/is capable to deploy for Android?

[@brokenportals]

Hmm, tbh I'm not sure how viable it is for Android development, if you're using panda or ursina that is. But alternatively, Godot is an option worth looking into, and it's native language's syntax (some of it) isn't too far apart from python.

[@moony_otter]

Damn, no respect for Blender Game Engine, or its community-made fork, UPBGE (Uchronia Project) I'm actually developing my own FPS meant to have an easy to play, hard to master build like Ultrakill and TF2, inspired by Pizza Tower mostly. BGE/UPBGE uses Python for its logic and scripting, while the rendering engine uses OpenGL and C#, I think. It's been fun to make my own systems in Python and I hope to make a game that shows that you CAN make a dynamic, fast-paced FPS game using Python for scripting! Awesome video, keep up the good work :)

Not only performance but C++ forces you to write better software

[@F0r3v3rT0m0rr0w]

"the reason python isn't used for game design is performance" has always made me wonder why people use python for machine learning considering how they require performance.

[@marwan7614]

Because Wrappers, all ML libs in python are wrappers, they just an interface invoking a compiled C/C++ Code.

[@Johnfortnite1102]

Everything fast in python was written in c++

[@marwan7614]

I don't see the point about python game dev makes you learn programming more that using Godot, python game engines are so abstracted that they are akin to Godot without a GUI interface, In Godot you're still gonna mess with code though GDscript(Vars,Loops,math,getters,setter) plus better OOP and static typing.

[@brokenportals]

People who use Godot are more focused on learning game development, where programming is a part of it but not necessarily the priority, a means to an end basically. But Python is a transferable language across different IT departments that people can use to learn programming across the board. It ultimately depends on your goals.

[@halsaufschneider1446]

Ok, so Python is slower than other Languages when it comes to 3D gaming. But how much slower is it? Lets say we make a game like Quake 3. Its a small arena shooter. If we get 200 FPS with Quake 3 C# or C++. Then how much FPS would we get with Python? 120FPS? The generalizing sentence of "its slower" doesn't really help. I looked this up and i found no actual comparing 3D Perfromance Data what so ever. I even asked Chat A.I. :P If we talk about ~25% less performance, then this is still not that big of a deal. Depending on the game you are making. If you are super efficient and trained in Python "only". You can realease the game/product sooner and make some profit, instead of switching to a different language you know nothing about. If you wan't to make the next Metroid Dread 2.5D sidescroller. Pyhton might be enough. If you want to make the next Crysis in terms of graphics, well, you better start asking the question "can it run Pysis".... because your ~25% less performance just bottlenecked your entire endeavor. But we don't really know that, do we? Because we have no actual 3D Game comparison Data? No one took the same assets and made the exact same game/benchmark in Python and in another language to compare. Python is used for A.I. stuff. Would be interesting to know, if that could be used to make Python written games run faster.

[@khalilshew4924]

Also you have to take into account that most languages has the same fundamentals so if someone is a great programmer with one language then they could more easily learn a new language faster than someone with no experience at all can
