Master Python by making 5 games [the new ultimate introduction to pygame]

[@ClearCode]

If you are getting an error that FRects don't exist: You currently have only pygame installed, not pygame-ce! Pygame-ce is the latest (and greatest) version of pygame with lots of new features, make sure to have that one installed. First uninstall pygame in the terminal with "pip uninstall pygame" and then install pygame-ce with "pip install pygame-ce". I also talk about it in the video at 00:05:43

[@enter_null]

I did have that error. thank you kindly :) yesterday I created my first "video game", a game where you have to escape a zombie that runs after you and you have to see how long you last (I implemented the a* pathfinding algorithm for the zombie movement). if the zombie touches you three times, you're done :D next step, I'll try the platformer game :) thank you so much for the tutorial

@ClearCode Wow, this was an incredible tutorial. I just completed all 5 games. Love the way you introduced more advanced topics as time went on. Great job! The only thing in the whole tutorial that stumped me was in the first game my player could not shoot if moving up+left, down+left, and down+right, but up+right was fine and any single direction was fine.

This tutorial series is mind numbingly good, thank you so much for putting so much work into this and putting it here on youtube free of charge. Absolute saint! That being said I have a problem on vampire survivor where the gun seems to be rotating around a point just to the left of the player, rather than the center of the player themself.

[@ClearCode]

Brilliant paid for it 😅 for the gun, do you rotate it around the center of the player? Sounds like you are using another position (like the topleft)

[@jamiewhitehouse1708]

@@ClearCode Well thanks to you and brilliant then haha. I fixed the problem sort of, i fiddled with the rotozoom scaling to make the gun look a little bit nicer which seemed to be causing the issue and managed to find a way around it.

[@patryk5654]

Spaceshooter took me 15 hours. Vampire survivor almost 20h and it was pretty challenging for me. I measure vscode time so I have it open while watching video, stopping it, trying to implement things on my own, messing around. Need some break for other projects than games, but overall very good video, thanks!

I'm only on the second game, but I am blown away by the depth of content combined with your ability to make complicated things more simple and understandable! When I need to understand a concept more in-depth, I simply jump over to your other Python/Pygame tutorials! I do have to slow the video speed down to about 60% if I want to do a (mostly) live follow of code (and pausing as needed to understand/catch up). Thank you for this!

Hi, this is probably the BEST tutorial i think i will ever see in my life, from the slow explanation, to the exersices, everything is just pure perfection. I just have a question though, im curerently on the vampire survivor game, is the world.tmx file in the github different from the one in the video?

[@ClearCode]

hey, thank you :) It should be the same, does it look different?

[@ahmadabdulrazaq5440]

Thanks for replying, it does look different, though it does look like a normal map, but different than yours

Im pretty sure they are the same but the video has more objects (ex. more trees in the upper-left corner)

@@ahmadabdulrazaq5440 oh damn, sorry about that, if you look at the google drive folder you can find the finished code for each project and the tmx file from the video should be in there; will update the GitHub file tomorrow!

No problem in fact i just realized that it doesnt really effect the game that much since its outside of the game border, one more question and im so sorry for bothering you but when we get the collision sprites in: CollisionSprite((obj.x, obj.y), pygame.Surface((obj.width, obj.height)), self.collision sprites) The surface we created is showing up black instead of transparent, how do i fix that?

[@spxrtan9339]

Hi! I've been loving the tutorial so far, and am close to finishing the space shooter game! It's been very interesting, but I had a small confusion in the collisions part. Why loop over both groups of sprites and check for collision if in the update function of the laser, you could use spritecollide in an if statement and set dokill to True and then use self.kill(). This would work vise versa in the meteor class (but only one use of this approach is needed) and I tested it and it worked fine! Just had a doubt with that, but I am really excited to move on to other projects, especially Vampire Survival.

[@michaelwallace9461]

This is helpful. I'm getting quite good at a lot in pygame but I always have trouble with platform and floor collisions. The player often either, sticks to the floor, drops partly through it or all the way through, teleports around when jumping. Pull my hair out a lot. Think it is to do with the order of input, setting speed, movement, collisions. I'll get there but resorting to print statements after each salient line to figure out what is going on

[@user-ov3et9yq8p]

Sorry, I’m having a hard time understanding the table around 1:22:05. What exactly is the unit of delta time? Is it in seconds (sec)? Also, why is the unit in the last column pixel/sec? If you use pixel/frame * frame/sec * sec, doesn’t that just result in pixels?

[@ClearCode]

delta is in seconds (or milliseconds) and the ideal behaviour you want is pixels per second

[@NazihBaydoun-mv5nq]

Hiii! I love your tutorials alot... i love the way u explain everything and make exercises during the video. Thanks for everything... I just started and I'm done with the first game "space shooter", but why didn't you do a function in the Player class that doesn't allow the player to go away from the screen?

The rectangle functions such get_frect might not be recognize in some ide, instead just used get_rect which in some ide work for both 'int' and 'floating points' My guess is that it depends on the ide, but i'll keep it in mind in case I used a different ide and happens not to be working, then I'll used the correct function get_frect

[@ClearCode]

are you calling self.collision_sprites.draw() in the game loop?

[@LethalAscend]

Hi! Just following along the first game. For the exercise where you ask for laser and meteor collision, I accomplished it but in a different way. I did it by just checking collision in the laser class update loop. Why is it better to have a function for all collisions that you check in the main game loop as opposed to the update loop of each class. That way you dont need new sprite group also

you need to add one point of the rect; like rect.topleft += vector
