Pygame Tutorial - Image Rotation Around a Pivot Point

[@SpaceCatAtelier]

This is exactly what i needed, thanks for the tutorial!

[@bigwhoopgames]

Glad it helped!

[@tinyfold]

I can't find this in stack overflow! This has been so useful in my project! Thanks so much!

[@bigwhoopgames]

Glad it was helpful!

[@StreakyFly]

Thank you! Neither ChatGPT nor my brain were able to achieve this haha

[@bigwhoopgames]

Glad I could help!

Really good tutorial on a specific topic. Thumbs up to that! Now I'll browse your vids!

[@bigwhoopgames]

Thanks. Let me know if you'd like me to make a tutorial for any other topics.

You’re posting some good tutorials, just a friendly suggestion but would be better to increase the text size to make it easier to read. A lot of people will either watch windowed while trying to follow along or will perhaps be watching on a smaller device like a phone or iPad for example. Great job though!

[@bigwhoopgames]

Thanks for the feedback, will do in the future.

[@damus6665]

good tutorial, it will help me for sure!

[@bigwhoopgames]

Thanks, hope it helps!

i think it would be good that instead of explaining then becoming silent for a bit many elaborate further or show an ilistartion

[@bigwhoopgames]

I'll look into that for my next tutorial. Thanks for the feedback.

I like the gun part ima implement this in my game soon

[@bigwhoopgames]

Awesome.

hey man. when you make your tilesets it must take forever does it? i want to do more with pygame but i code and play guitar better than i draw. great content by the way.

[@bigwhoopgames]

Thanks. I just add one tile at a time and am always redrawing them. I never get it on the first try.

hello, in the tutorial, you are additioning tuples by just putting a + or - between them, but for me it dont work, it says that to make : pivot + (20,0) #for example i should do this pivot[0] + 20, pivot[1]+0 which become more complicated when i have to additionate things like this : offset = pivot + (origine - pivot).rotate(-angle) I am really stuck and dont know how to do this... can you tell me how can i addition tuples togethers like you do ?

[@bigwhoopgames]

Those are Vectors, not tuples.

[@propermood2]

@@bigwhoopgames Ohhh my bad i see... is it possible to make a vector from a player rect ?

[@bigwhoopgames]

Yes, you could just make a pygame.Vector2(player.rect.center) or however your alignment (topleft, midbottom, etc) works.

[@moadhoueslati6838]

instructions unclear.

[@bigwhoopgames]

What was unclear?

[@moadhoueslati6838]

@@bigwhoopgames i couldn't understand it well especially the method "rotate_on_pivot" wish there was a quick illustration, but thanks anyways

Oh my goodness, dude, thank you so so much. I’m sure you get this a lot, but I couldn’t find anything on this, I’ve been looking into it for about three weeks by now. This was so helpful, keep up it up dude!! Also, do you think you could do a Pygame.math.vector2 tutorial? Or do you have one and I’m just blind 😅

[@bigwhoopgames]

I don't have one. I only have a few tutorials up.
