When Python is too Slow for my Steam Game

[@DaFluffyPotato]

Wishlist Yawnoc! store.steampowered.com/app/2824730/Yawnoc/ I mentioned that Python can be easily used for nearly any 2D game but not 3D. For those who are curious, the reasoning against using it for 3D is actually unrelated to performance. Most 3D games nowadays are made with an engine + scripting combination. Since there aren't any major engines that primarily support Python as a scripting language, it's not particularly easy to make 3D games with Python. Of course it can still be done (see my last 2 videos). It's just not very easy to get into with the current tooling. Things may be completely different in the future.

[@ultimateownsz]

Why don't you make games in godot? It has gdscript, very similair to python's syntax

[@DaFluffyPotato]

I prefer my tooling over engines typically (basically a custom engine specifically for the types of things I make). I've used Godot for VR projects and it's been good, but I get annoyed when there's something I could easily do on a low level, but the engine abstractions make it difficult.

[@snbv5real]

It's less that there aren't any major engines that primarily support python as a scripting language, than it is that python doesn't make it easy to be used as a scripting language.

[@morning_thor]

@@DaFluffyPotato Probably you already know this but since Godot is open-source, you could even make modifications at the engine.

[@DaFluffyPotato]

Modifying the rendering pipeline in Godot is not a simple task.

In conclusion, GPU comes in clutch every time. Love the video Potato Master.

[@nathanfranck5822]

Sir got lucky with the algorithm, there's a tonne of important algos (like sorting) that are very parallelism resistant and don't run great on the GPU. Running an algorithm on compiled CPU code will always be faster in those cases

[@DaFluffyPotato]

That's what options 1 & 2 were for. In the case of sorting, Python's built in sorting function is already written in C.

[@msqrt]

@@nathanfranck5822 while I agree on the principle, sorting is not a great example. If your list is long enough, a GPU will sort it significantly faster.

Except for dealing with the all the code split up in multiple places just to get one thing done and all the obscure crap that's done under the hood that you have to learn about and the documentation that often leaves you more confused after reading it than before.

Never seen your channel or work before, but i immediately thought that a shader would be your solution! I'd never really considered python for game dev before. Yawnoc looks very fun - wish listed!

[@BarneyCodes]

Great video, I love shaders and this is a perfect application for them! The water colour effect that you showed off looks awesome by the way, I might have to try recreating it at some point!

[@TommyLikeTom]

Clever coding can really save your game. I implemented my own A star path-finding/search algorithm in Godot that runs each square over multiple frames, allowing hundreds of pawns to path-find at once. Distributing processes over multiple frames in an amazing trick. Maybe I am just wishful but I believe that there will be a system that compiles python as C, and that it will be open source and built into godot. I know such systems exist already, but right now I think it's most productive to build fast in python. I also State-Machine absolutely everything, which drastically improves performance.

[@BitTheByte]

Cross compiling code often kills the performance benefits offered by the languages. You are better off learning c++ and making modules in godot

[@distantforest2481]

Great stuff. Too many people are quick to jump ship to another language when they run into pythons performance issues. The original point of python is to have quick dev times for the higher level stuff, and if you need to do some performance heavy stuff, you can create small 'addon' functions in like in C, or in this case shaders. That way you get the best of both worlds; the speedy dev times of python, and the performance of C.

It would be incredibly interesting if you made a video about how to program shader code. It's such an important skill, but so incredibly hard to get into and begin your journey. There are so many tutorials on how to do exactly what you want, but what about making a tutorial for figuring it out yourself?

[@papakamirneron2514]

Honestly I feel like once you have your own standard “wrapper” around pygame it must be quite a fun time creating a game. I’ve moved away from game dev personally because I despise rendering with my entire soul but this looks awesome!

[@DaFluffyPotato]

Graphics programming is probably my favorite part of gamedev.

[@itsmenatika]

Ya the beginning is the weirdest one, you mostly don't see anything important or weird simple sprites. The more complex your "wrapper", the more everything becomes easier. The most hard part is when you need optimization or just change something and a lot of things is based around that in your game, that's where it becomes harder the more complex your wrapper is

[@mint4up2zio3]

Oh it is! Spend a lot of time figuring out how to render what you want and you never have to worry about it again. Your possibilities expand and you can realise your game designs faster. It’s a nice bonus that Python is relatively easy to pick up.

[@JH-pe3ro]

While I've travelled the Pygame path in an earlier life, I distrust extending my dependency chain any more than necessary these days, and framework-based development these days tends to be an update treadmill where there are plenty of underlying dependencies that make breaking changes - so the dev environment is richly structured, complex, and makes it hard to bring up the project again after time away from it or changing machines. As a result of this I've made a hard turn towards coding in Forth for actual retro machines. It's not bad - it's also interpreted, and you can do live editing with it. It can be pretty portable since the core is small and the only major assumptions are with machine word size and memory layout. Supremely self-contained. It does mean substantially more DIY to get through the early stages since most Forth systems have very little built in, but you can get it exactly how you want it. Wouldn't go this route if I were trying for this kind of GPU-accelerated 2D, though - it'd be easier for me to start in Godot and hammer away at the extension system as necessary to make the critical path go fast. The problem is mostly that once you try to make a game in the modern fashion, the expected featureset explodes, so my take on that is to go ahead and swallow one large dependency that has a lot of momentum around it.

[@DaFluffyPotato]

Over the 11 years that I've used Pygame, it's been pretty stable as a library with few dependencies (since it wraps SDL). I've definitely run into some of those issues with ModernGL since it's newer and still maturing though. My game Hue Flowing can be a bit of a challenge to get running from source as a result.

[@fueledbycoffee583]

One question. i may have missed it but what about the performance penalty of getting the x,y information of each cell back and forward from the shader for collision detection and everything else?

[@DaFluffyPotato]

I actually only have to pass the texture back and forth once per automata step, which only occurs every now and then. In terms of a single step, the pass is just a small texture in both directions, which is super fast. I haven't profiled it, but it doesn't really affect performance (so it's probably

Just the whole way it works rubs me wrong, but I realize it has good functionality so I'm doing it anyway. Maybe someday I won't hate it so much.

If you're using PyOpenGL or a traditional C/C++ binding, I recommend ModernGL. It's an object-oriented interface for ModernGL instead of a state machine.

You'll get bottlenecked in all sorts of places depending on your tooling (including your needs to update things if you roll it yourself) regardless of language, library, or engine choice. In the case of C++ and OpenGL, you'll be bottlenecked on scalability for many things until you write systems using the proper data structures. I will agree that the bottlenecks in that case are the most straightforward. On the other end with engines, there's a mess of random bottlenecks (that you may or may not have control over) depending on the engine. I benefit from Python due to development speed for game logic on top of my prebuilt tooling. My approach has been competitively proven in game jams, but it's definitely not for everyone.

For people new to Python or working in teams I agree. However, I rarely lose any time to Python-specific bugs or getting lost.

As I mentioned at the start of the video, I can make games quicker with Python. I made an example out of a potential problem to demonstrate how you handle these types of issues.
