Cool! (Teach how to do stuff like that with imported textures and such)

[@augusto256]

GODDAMN

[@Abdi_Akhmet]

How can I install this engine to my python and can we see there tutorials?

[@Soulsॱ]

fun fact: you didnt

[@Soulsॱ]

@@Abdi_Akhmet pip install ursina

[@integralyogin]

great work. im only on day 3 of the struggle with ursina but the fruits are wonderful. great great work.

[@ccaquimbo127]

Nice! Go ahead

[@Daniel-cl6hj]

I love you

[@jonateez]

there isnt much documentation on dropdown related ui. can't say I will keep using this engine but I don't think its for me

[@kong_coding]

so cool

[@tatyanaboytim6308]

but how do you download it on raspberry pi

[@insertcoolnamehere7168]

I know I'm late, but how can we make textures for each side of a button (block)

[@ursinaengine]

You should model it and unwrap it with a 3d modeling program, like Blender

[@tristanheck2209]

Can you teach us how to pronounce? It's kinda awkward if you: "I'm using a new engine, open-source and phyton." Your unity friends: "yeah cool is it 3d ? 2d ? What is it called?" You:" uhr - s(I)n -ah ... Your Sina? Ur sine?"

[@nostalgia5031]

They don't do tutorials here...

[@beepbeepimasheep237beepbee3]

Why the hell do I find the ʕ •ᴥ•ʔゝ□ cute.

[@christiancoding]

Wait I think I found something: urs-in-a engine urs means bear in Romania so: bear in a engine

[@EmptyNullified]

That would be "in an engine". Besides Ursina is a Latin word referring to bear.

[@deizaasi07]

Can i code in PyCharm?

[@ruthlessadmin]

There seems to be at least one tutorial on KZbin about using Ursina w/ PyCharm. I do not use PyCharm, though, so I can't comment on the viability or status.

[@samuelbence37]

pycharm is just an IDE? it should work fine

[@geofffisher6927]

mac pleaseeeeeeee

[@ruthlessadmin]

It is based on Panda3D which has Mac support. May be less trivial to get it all installed & working, but I do not know....maybe `pip install ursina` will still just work?

[@DontMansion]

I rotate a cube but it rotates its axis as well. Is any way to keep axis without rotating? That's why it's senseless engine. So I gonna delete it

[@syrsly273]

If you can add modern peripheral support out-of-the-box, that would make this engine a lot more promising. Controller support is always a necessity, and I've yet to see a good alternative to Unity and Unreal for VR dev.

[@augusto256]

If there were an integration to Flutter with this, bye competition.

[@g-192]

0:44 Is there a tutorial on how to make that scene?

[@hiwab41]

Maybe

[@itzmeB2]

Yas

[@hiwab41]

@@itzmeB2 but where?

[@ursinaengine]

No, it's just 2 lines of code. One for loading the model I made in Blender, and one to instantiate the first person controller. If anything it would be a 3d-modelling tutorial, but there are already loads of those on youtube

[@hiwab41]

@@ursinaengine can you please do tutorials on ursina engine?

[@ohtych1004]

this engine is amazing, but the 2 problems are: 1. barely any tutorials 2. documentation gives like 0 information

[@EmptyNullified]

Its already hard enough for one person to build an engine by themselves. Writing the documentation for it takes too much time.

[@DontMansion]

@@EmptyNullified he has price for his explanations. It's not profitable to have good documentation

[@lovermilk]

Nope, the documentation is pretty easy and simple

[@nEuDyYT]

Nice 👍 I don't know, what I like more.. The simplicity of the engine, or the music of this Video 🥰

[@matDtam]

Hi, I have this error when I want to launch it after installations: NameError: name 'Ursina' is not defined

[@ApartmentAngelsFireStarters]

either install it or import using from ursina import *.

[@gaetanlusson8087]

Interesting

[@BinkiklouGaminglol]

Hows the performance for the engine ?

[@nomms]

Excellent. It's rendering engine is Panda3D. It's all written in C++ and has been in use for over 20 years. This engine just makes working with Panda3D a lot easier.

[@justarandomguy5731]

You did great ♥️♥️

[@SamuTheFrog]

How has this gone so completely overlooked everywhere? This looks awesome.

[@johnpekkala6941]

Indeeed i just heard about this one yesterday. Need to give this a go for sure! I have an idea for a game that can be perfect for this one!

[@HakiYikio]

Loving the music hehe. As i'm learning Python, i'll try out this game engine ! Thank you :)

[@alexanderp7521]

Same thoughts here ) I actually already know Python, but I'm trying to learn all the fancy OOP things and practice them. I'll actually try to create a game and sell it on Steam 😄Though, I understand that this will take a lot of time. Hope this engine will continue developing )

[@marcoantonio7648]

Interesting. By the way, how would you classify this engine for animation / motion graphics purposes such as the intro, and frames 0:43 and 0:44? And also, do you have some code samples from those frames? Thanks!

[@ursinaengine]

Not great, unless you write some custom tools for that. Creating simple animations like moving or scaling things is very easy, however. The intro is simply two procedural cylinders rotating and the graph one is available here: github.com/pokepetter/ursina/blob/master/samples/culumn_graph.py Maybe it would be a good choice if you're visualizing data and is already working in python.

[@swishfish8858]

@@ursinaengine Can I just say that I adore your honesty, it's refreshing in the engine space right now.

[@HolisticPython]

Amazing. How long did it take for you to build the Ursina game engine? What language/s are you using to build it? I'd be interested in contributing if possible.

[@ursinaengine]

Hard to say, it's actually been production ready for a long time now. It's not written from scratch, but heavily relies on panda3d. Ursina is, however, entirely written in Python.

[@harshsonawane578]

Can u make this work in google colab after running from ursina import * i am getting module '__main__' has no attribute '__file__' this error This will be so much fun for my boring lab class

[@Zuarin]

Hey, quick question: Is it also available on macs? The website says only windows and linux, which seems a bit weird(?)

[@ruthlessadmin]

It's based on Panda3D, so in theory, it should work. I think the author just doesn't have any way to help Mac users by himself.

[@onebigsnowball]

seems dope

[@gamalielgerona2391]

I made Minecraft in this using Windows. Too bad doesn't work on macOS.

[@ApartmentAngelsFireStarters]

listen. there is so much friking potential. I've said goodbye to pygame. I've said good bye to unity. this is huge, and I a 3d python game engine. just grt to work and keep this fresh. if there is a way you can make it more than just scripting and make it a software where you can run scripts on the side while the live view of the scene refreshes on save. that would legit be massive becuaee it's python.

[@sundhar010]

I would love to contribute on your project

[@nostalgia5031]

Then go to the github!

[@komalbarun]

Entity.rotation_y rotates the entity on the Z-axis and rotation_z around the y-axis. I know its hard to grasp the concept :D. Nevertehless, the devs might want to refactor this. Z-axis is the straight vertical line.

[@eldoritosfunjajaxd7512]

I think this engine needs a graphical interface For make the engine More easier.

[@ursinaengine]

You can actually use Blender as a level editor, or make a custom one

[@B3CTOR]

[@KlyFN]

how to lanch pls ?

[@tristanheck2209]

Global game jam starting tomorrow and I am trying to figure out a few ursina basics. Hopefully I can get something done. It is kinda complicated to get it to work. I never had to use cmd console before or download an additional text editor. Maybe, you could make a download package for people that don't have phyton/ git / editor installed I really like phyton (I just started half a year ago) and it is really fun. It feels very rewarding, when you write your own code and it just works.

[@ursinaengine]

I'm not sure if it's possible to what you suggest, but I'm interested making it easier to get started. How do you code in Python currently then? Online? Feel free to chat on discord if you need help setting things up before global game jam. I'm participating in the jam too ^^

[@mr._G]

great game engine

[@Dhia_anims]

But isn't python slow? I'm new but everyone says that

[@SuspiciousAvocado]

It's not as fast as say C or C++, it is however, optimal for beginners looking to make a light indie game that isn't too heavy on graphics.

[@ruthlessadmin]

It is fast enough for 99% of things a game would need to do. The underlying engine is Panda3D which is C++. Ursina is mostly a lot of convenient boiler plate code to make getting off the ground a lot easier. Essentially, you're only using Python to command & control the underlying C++. If you need to leverage anything more CPU intensive, then you'll want to write custom CPython modules, use Cython, or extend Panda3D itself.

Plot twist: this guy made the engine himself

Sort of...It's based on Panda3D, which is a much bigger project. Ursina is mostly boiler plate code that makes using that engine much more approachable. There are now a few other contributors, as well. It is great work, either way!

[@hman2875]

One thing that this engine misses in an editor, could you please add it.

[@ursinaengine]

Personally, I like to write a custom editor specifically for the game I'm making rather than using a suboptimal general purpose one. I am, however, planning on making some editor tools to make certain tasks easier and serve as a starting point. What features are important for you in an editor? So yes. I will include an editor at some point, but I don't want to make an editor without simultaneously making a game. That way I can ensure it actually solves problems rather than just adding complexity.

[@hman2875]

@@ursinaengine Sure, i get your point. It's just that making a somewhat extendable editor would be a nice addition to the engine. Like, entity hierarchy, asset browser, simple transformation capabilites etc, and let the users add in whatever else they need with the emphasis on ease of use.

[@NielsenWill]

I find a general editor is great for very small projects but once you move to a larger project it becomes a huge hindrance.
