[@muhammadmz8791]

first thank you a lot because of your tutorials then personally I came toward pygame after python tutorials, to learn how to program and more about python, then I will thank you a lot if you use all advance python topics in your pygame tutorials like decorators or multi-threading and processing and ... 🙏

This guy is pouring so much time into his videos to make it the best. Its absurd that these videos are not getting enough views. We should appreciate people like this. ❤️💯👍

[@thoserandomshredders]

As a beginner python coder: your tutorials help me so much. Keep making them!

I went back to school to learn Python. Loving it so far! Thanks for the hard work. Subbed.

Thanks so much for making these tutorials! I’m definitely one of those “monkey see monkey do” learners and these are incredibly helpful for me

[@chesslife5640]

Thank you for the tutorial Tim ! Its incredible how you manage to simplify problems so it is easy to follow and understand

[@JeraWolfe]

27 Minutes in, you just explained how you need to do all this stuff upfront, before you can explain it, but the brilliant part of that thoughtful consideration of yours is that, I'm completely tracking, following along, and I have a pretty good idea of why you're doing it this way. When I tried an earlier simpler tutorial, I used 'gravity' and 'shift' and an update loop, but didn't yet figure out I needed to determine direction, and played around with animation states equivalent to your animation frames. Figuring it out on my own for the first time. So validating to see I was on the right path, and you just cleared all the confusing noise and brush from that path and now I'm speeding along. Thank you, Tim. Amazing, simply Amazing, tutorial.

[@ArunManivannan]

Wow ! I managed to code along until the end. Fantastic content compressed into less than 2 hours ! Have taken away some points for further research. As always, thanks a lot for your time, Tim !

[@Dice]

Great video, Tim!

[@ArchonHimitsu]

I will work really hard to expand on your amazing game using the assets you provided!

[@Vanukass]

Great tutorial! As a sort of beginner, this was still easy enough to follow. Though some things are still a bit lost on me, like how they actually work. Was thinking of going through most of the stuff in the code and trying to add comments describing what is going on to get a bettter grasp. Edit. my engrish sucks more than I thought

[@MDonteMoore]

Thank you for another masterpiece.

[@Boogie-wi7hd]

Great vid bro! But I couldn't understand how the sprite creating works. I would love if anyone explained it to me in the comments section

[@dommafia]

What a great tutorial, si much packed into a short video (all things considered)

[@seanyB0123]

I'm 01:40 into this video, and I am freaking excited about this!!!! I have a really cool idea for a platformer and I'm hoping this will help me realise it :]

[@GeikoTreyarch]

I have a question: Where is the rest of the enemy sprites? I looked on github and could not find the spritesheet? Love your videos especially the pygame ones. Thumbs up and subscribed!

[@emmang2010]

Amazing video as always!

Incredible tutorial! Thanks.

Love the video man. I had so many questions I would looking for the answer to online and you helped me figure it all out. Great work, you're helping so many people.

[@cotekokotrees1527]

Thanks I have learned a lot of pygame watching and copying your video now I can create my own game

[@smanzoli]

Thanks a lot! To continue, the best way to create (design) the levels for this exact game would be a csv file with the map, where each character translates to a sprite/tile... Because we need an easy way to place the blocks. Let's say a level has 200 x 10 blocks... so we need a csv file with 100 columns and 10 rows... import it and relate it to the tiles.

[@arkie87]

35:11 FYI that is not how gravity/acceleration works. You are over complicating it. Gravity does not increase the velocity by more the longer it is falling. The acceleration is constant, meaning the velocity increases by a constant value each time step.

[@Ashir1]

Hi tim i am from Pakistan and i follow you since last 1 year and your tutorial is good and i learn from many thing in python

[@TheTeleportingProgrammer]

You are my inspo!

[@nikolaysavinov1891]

There is a very tricky bug in your code - running animation consists of jump phase and landing phase, and in jumping phase sprite collision detects that he is not touching block and start falling - increase Y position. Then in landing phase you get a collision just by change to next sprite, and this treated by X movement as a collision, and code doesn't change X position. This is easy to see, if you add delay when get X collision, and run left and right.

[@blackpanda3405]

yea if you spam jump button you will stay in air and even go up if you are fast and how do you fix it ?

[@samplaying4keeps]

Hi Tim! Thanks so much for this I'm excited to get started on it. I was trying to download all the assets from the Github first and for the enemies there's a PNG that says "link on the project page" but I can't see to find that.

[@daveruble5150]

I did it! typed the whole thing. Pretty neat.

[@delltoid5980]

I’m really excited to try this!!!

[@pietraderdetective8953]

Great work Tim! Any plan on doing some game project using Godot? Its syntax is really similar to Python..but the game engine is much more powerful than Pygame.

[@3lite6am3r]

My man, you are a real one that saved my mind from disintegrating ❤

[@CarloObrad]

another amazing tutorial keep it up Tim!!!

[@daveruble5150]

I'm stumped. Tim's backgrounds are working perfectly and my background remains black. when I click the ❌ to quit, my chosen background is revealed briefly as the window collapses. Its loading the correct image but isn't drawing until after I quit. EDIT! As I was writing out the 'problem' I got an inkling of the solution: I had the indentation fubar'd. tabbed the draw call right once and voila! Now I can continue! Tim moves around so well in the editor that it's critical for me to pay close attention as the indention isn't 2nd nature to me, yet.

[@musicfan4952]

Okay so i did everything but for each block i make i have to copy and paste the line of code he showed so i was wondering if there's any less of a tedious way to make blocks.

[@eurosat7]

This is amazing for learning. Thank you for your time! :) I have a question: Is this the way code and classes are organized in python in general? I have 40k+ hours experience in php and am a technical lead. And for my taste this could use some cleaning.
