Thank you for this! Very easy and simple tutorial to follow, even if you do not use the given source code. Much appreciated

[@taufiqidr]

[@lavinabhambra7611]

Great video as always! Would love to see the starting file explained in more detail at the start

[@tugdual4639]

Thank you for those multiple tutorial, that help us a lot :)

[@unisloth]

but is increasing the clock really the best solution to increase the speed of the background image and of the animations of the runner? I thought that by increasing the clock speed the fps cap increases too, and it would not really make much sense to run the game at 30fps in the beginning and at 120fps+ later, right? we should have a stable fps rate of like 60, not connected to the current speed of the game.

[@GeeWillikersMan]

Mirror the first background about the y axis. That will smooth that transition.

[@madMaxXXX999]

How do we blit a text that flashes/blinks in Pygame? BTW, love your tutorials Tim! Muchos gracias :)

[@infogeekoficial351]

[@gorgestboi1028]

My screen speeds up once, and after that it stays the same speed. Any Help would be appreciated.

hey tim I got this error line 13, in bg = pygame.image.load(os.path.join('images','bg.png')).convert() pygame.error: Couldn't open images\bg.png I tried to fix it but I could not

[@floydian25]

Put all the images in the same directory/folder with your python file. Everything should be in the same folder or it won't work. If you're still confused see his pygame tutorial series. Hope this helps

Help, I just get the error: ‘TypeError: unsupported operant type(s) for -=: ‘Pygame.Surface’ and ‘float’ regarding bgX -= 1.4 and bgX2 -= 1.4

[@jumanshackelford4998]

I have downloaded side_scrolls and press starter file and a screen pop up but it does not put me into a Python ildle file as I see you are in. There must be some wrong with me understanding the steps that u have demonstrated

[@TechWithTim]

Just open IDLE then click open from the file menu and select the file.

[@jumanshackelford4998]

Tech With Tim I would like to thank you that made it so easy. My next question is what do I do with the other images that you sent me. I still do not fully understand the concept of putting them into the same directory file as Python. But I do appreciate your patience.

[@jumanshackelford4998]

I would like to thank you because I just figured out how to put my images into the same directory as my Python folder.

[@hmrocky45]

How do I create some sprites by myself?

[@hakyt8746]

its giving an error can't open bg.png

[@shubhangagrawal4401]

Remove "os.path.join" simply keep pygame.image.load('path', 'image_name')

[@ScroatyDontKnow]

Is anyone else getting a slightly jittery background every often? My background scrolls across the screen occasionally gets a weird rolling line go down it, kinda like a rolling shutter. Is there something I need to change or is it just my machine?

[@sameerashajeem5979]

It happened to me too I can't find a fix

[@mdammar9265]

instead of using 64 by 64 why dont you use pygame.image.get_width() and height respectively i mean that would reduce the unnecessary sixe especially if you more characters since they are sprites and the image and height although can be altered afterwards

[@kemiscape]

How can i make the player's jump speed and slide speed into a stable vel? like it's not increasing the speed. :(

[@tanishqchandra2719]

hey Tim, whats up! can u help me find some free sprites for my own game by suggesting any website or source? Thank you for your great videos that help me so much to learn python...

[@amanihussain5789]

Guys this sounds really stupid but can someone explain how the pygame and sprites should be saved as bc its not working for me :(((((

[@charliefelix9326]

Which version of python are you using? Thanks! And where could I find other characters?

[@pythonicperson7216]

he is using python 3.6.2, and to find other characters probably go to a sprite sheet or something.
