You are doing very well with this tutorial series, also i would like to see the full projects livestream 6 7 or more hours :) i think your channel is going to get bigger exponentially if you keep doing. Thanks man!

[@Marc_B.4]

For those who have "TypeError: integer argument expected, got float" error in collide, just do: top_offset = (self.x - bird.x, int(self.top - round(bird.y))) bottom_offset = (self.x - bird.x, int(self.bottom - round(bird.y)))

[@namigaliyev5894]

int(round(bird.y))

[@ibuucoksiregar9024]

its weird that round() leaves float behind

[@chuhokyinhkbuas2337]

one quick tip. ALWAYS BLIT THE BACKGROUND FIRST IN YOUR redraw window function or else every objects will be covered by your background.

My window is too big to see on the computer screen and because of that i can't see the base image, it's not that its' not there if i check all my windows open by doing a 3 finger swipe up on a mac i can see it, but i can't see it when it have it "maximized" because the 800 pixel height seems to be too big to fit on my screen vertically, does anyone have suggestions?

7:49 At this point, I try to run my code, it works fine but when the bird is halfway through passing the first pipe, the game freezes and then crashes for some reason. Can anyone please help me?

[@shuvadass7525]

Can I use NEAT in Reinforcement Learning? Especially to a simple monte Carlo prediction/ control problem where an agent can be the genome and its policy can be gene. Do I have to build an equivalent Neural Network with MC logic first in order to apply NEAT or does it not matter, any simple NN would do without the MC logic?

[@tombil-certon]

Amazing video Tim :D

[@pranjal1100]

My first pipe renders fine, rest of the pipe sort stack up one another, how do i adjust the distance bw two pices? Note: Distance b/w first and second pipe is fine and can adjusted by the "pipes.append(Pipes(distance))"

[@kevinliu5060]

I know its kinda late, but I had the same problem. I did a little editing in the code and somehow got it to work. Remove = [] add_pipe = False for pipe in pipes: pipe.move() if pipe.collide(bird): pass if pipe.x + pipe.Pipe_Top.get_width() < 0: Remove.append(pipe) if not pipe.passed and pipe.x < bird.x: pipe.passed = True add_pipe = True if add_pipe: score += 1 pipes.append(Pipe(Display_Width)) for r in Remove: pipes.remove(r) draw_window(win, bird, pipes, base) Hope it helps!

[@techtutorials8812]

"That's what I've figured out is kinda like the best position". Isn't it better to figure out what, say two-fifths of the way from the left is, and use that, rather than hard-coding in the values? Same with the base, better to use the height of the window minus the height of the image.

[@samwillis1856]

Hi, been watching this series for the last day and going through it. Was just wondering if you had any videos on how to implement it so it's just playable as a game and nothing to do with ai. just wanted to create this so me and my friends can play it! thanks!

[@user-hd6xc1xn9d]

Make the jump function activated by a click or a spacebar press

[@sashamuller9743]

he has a great video on space invaders, that show how to implement key inputs from the user and get the player to move around. also check the last video in this series where he implements the keystrokes to be done by the A.I, in order to reference how the jump() and move() methods are used to get the bird to jump

[@jonathanfisher6644]

im sure this is super janky but put this in the for event in pygame.get(): loop if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN: if event.key == pygame.K_SPACE: bird.jump()

[@cjclines3611]

Hi Tim, i have an issue with this bit; def main(): bird = Bird(230, 350) base = Base(730) pipes = [Pipe(700)] win = pygame.display.set_mode((WIN_WIDTH, WIN_HEIGHT)) clock = pygame.time.Clock() you are at the part where you are starting to code the base moving, but ive ran the code and i have pipes already showing and the base is glued to the top of the window? im very confused, any help would be greatly recieved.

[@cjclines3611]

Edit: dont worry all sorted stupid me messed up with the initial self.y = y bit

[@23kaz51]

Hey, if we do not make "add_pipe" false again, then there will be mess with pipes. I wrote exactly what you wrote, and mess appeared. After I made "add_pipe" false again after "pipes.append(Pipe(600))", then everything worked well. The main question is WHY?

[@23kaz51]

Stupid question. I didn't notice that you created "add_pipe" in the while-loop

[@JoaoGuilherme-ez8xm]

bro thank you so much for this, I was having this same issue!!

Does any1 have same problem as me? When I run the code, opens normal etc... but it's like zoomed in. I only see top half of the game.

[@harryleib4303]

i cant adjust the image sizes to my scren... could someone help me please? the imgaes seems too big and i cant see the base img

use the following code to fit image to size of your window: BG_IMG = pygame.transform.scale(pygame.image.load(os.path.join("imgs", "bg.png")), (WIN_WIDTH, WIN_HEIGHT))

I'm a bit late... but if it isnt what the comment above says, then it is most likely you did not make score = 0 underneath "clock = pygame.time.Clock" should be around line 177ish Hope this helps : )

bird object has no attribute 'mask' how do i fix this ?

[@joshuawheeler3255]

I have everything working correctly, but the game is running extremely slowly. It is almost less than a frame a second. It has been doing so since the very beginning when I put just the bird on the screen and had it flap its wings. I have a decently new gaming laptop, so hardware should not be the problem. My cpu/gpu usage is tiny, and I have plenty of ram. Do you have any idea what is wrong? I restarted computed and disabled windows defender, but neither option helped. These videos are great BTW, thanks.

[@TechWithTim]

Make sure you don’t have too low of a delay or that your clock speed isn’t too low.

[@joshuawheeler3255]

@@TechWithTim I'm sorry I'm not sure what you mean. What delay? And are you talking about the stock clock speed of my CPU or something else?

Someone PLEASE help me, I have been working on fixing this error for an hour and a half minimum, and I even rewritten my code following this video 4 times. I get the following error: AttributeError: Bird instance has no attribute 'img' when I try and do "if pipe.collide(bird):" Please someone help me! Edit: I just want to put this out here, I modified no code at all when rewriting to see if it was my modifications or not, but when I rewrote this code exactly letter by letter from the video, I still get the same error! If any more details is needed for someone to help me, please let me know! I need help :c Edit 2: This error also causes lots of other errors in my code, the one on the very top is on line 82, where the get_mask is. The error is on the return line. Another error is on line 114 for the collide, the code for that line is "bird_mask = bird.get_mask()". I don't know if these are what caused AttributeError but yeah, can someone please help me?
