Your videos are just insane. I can't imagine how much work you put into them, but please, never stop, they help me so much. You explain things in a really clear and clever way, thank you!

It's great that there are people with pedagogical grace, but it's really wonderful when they share their knowledge with beginners. Please don't stop what you're doing 💝

Great video! love the zoom part. I used to subsurface the display and scale it to make the zoom, but that limited my zoom to the display size. I like yours aproach better.

Every single one of your videos help me out in this pygame journey and every single time I find it more enjoyable to code. Thank you, keep it up with the amazing videos.

The explanation in this video is very simple, so it's very easy to understand, for the problem in the last video I added master_zoom = self.internal_surf_size_vector * self.zoom_scale if master_zoom[0]

I hope you enjoy making these videos as much as I enjoy watching them.

Awesome video!! everything is explained so well and is really clean and well done!! Keep it up!!

this is perfect. hope you will never stop doing these kinds of contents.

wow, I was literally thinking if you were going to ever post a video solely on cameras in pygame, and here you are.... thx dude

Needed just this. Thank you so much!

Thank you clear code for showing us camera concepts! I learned a lot from your videos. But some implementations here seems unnecessarily complicated, for example this method def my_mouse_control(self): mx, my = pygame.mouse.get_pos() if mx if mx > self.camera_rect.right: self.offset.x += 10 if my if my > self.camera_rect.bottom: self.offset.y += 10 replaces all 30+ lines of code in the mouse_control method, while working much better in my opinion. Another problem is zoom implementation, while it works, it's completely destroys FPS (from 300 to 30 and lower) making it completely unusable in practice. While this is probably due to pygame's lack of hardware acceleration, moving creation of scaled_surf out of the custom_draw loop and calling it only when mouse wheel is used helps to some degree.

Best channel for learning pygame! Thanks Clear Code!

Thanks, I've been waiting for camera tutorial

I love your videos! Please do the sim city one, it would be really nice to see how the graphics are made, and how to manage all the game logic. Thanks!!

Amazing as always. Would be great if you can extend this to include a function that translates coordinates (e.g. mouse position) from screen to ground coordinates. This would really open up game world interactivity. It is not obvious how to do this if the zoom scale factor is not 1:1.

I think you are underrated but your game are very awesome!

Amazing content!

Hello! Is it possible to make a video about the plan-making before the game. You have many functions and classes in your games but how do you plan all this? It will be perfect if you can mention these in a video. Thanks a lot for the wonderful videos on pygame. All best :)

good vid

Nice, bro!

For the zoom, do you know how to have multiple images for 1 sprite display because it doesn't work with lists as far as I'm aware

nice video

Hey, thanks for the awesome video, very useful. I do have a question however, my framerate dives down completely when zooming. It doesn't really seems to appear in your video but basically each zoom level divide my frame rate by two. And it is already kinda low to begin with. I was wondering if I've missed a huge piece of information during the video or if it's normal ? Edit: It seems that the pygame.transform.scale operation is really heavy for the CPU. Edit2: the memory usage seems to be also off the charts, with more than one gigabyte at a high zoom level. It's not a leak, as it decrease with the zoom. So yeah, it seems that in the end using a scaled surface create this massive texture that PyGame cannot handle very well at some point

@StarFury2

Жыл бұрын

Yes, this zoom implementation completely destroys FPS. Moving creation of scaled_surf out of the custom_draw (so that it's not created on every frame, but only when mouse wheel is used) helps a little bit. The main problem here is Pygame's lack of supoort for hardware scaling I think, and something like Pyglet with it's OpenGL support would probably work much better. I love pygame, but the more I learn it, the more hopless it seems for any practical use except learning.

Hey @Clear Code, What about a camera tracking multiple objects? A camera that zooms in and out and moves based on the selected objects in the scene? similar to smash bro camera setup?

nice!

Great video! Super helpful! For anyone having issues with render order, I recommend inheriting pygame.sprite.LayeredUpdates for CameraGroup since this allows you to draw based on the "layer" property from the Sprite class. Then, in the lambda function you sort by layer and then by the y coordinate.

Hey I’ve encountered an issue with mine is ive tried to do this without the use of groups of for a school project, for the center camere (19:11) I have an issue where I put my player object through a sprite list, then made a for loop similar to yours where I run thru it, but when I blit the image onto the screen it blits an image of the sprite but not the object itself so when I call its other functions it creates a whole different entity, any help would be appreciated

Can you make a tutorial for particle effects in pygame? Like, particle effects whenever you hit something or jump in a platformer.

Great tutorials. I had this error come up here is my fix. ERROR MESSAGE: TypeError: integer argument expected, got float` FILE: camera.py ERROR: (approx. line 171) scaled_surf = pygame.transform.scale(self.internal_surf,self.internal_surface_size_vector * self.zoom_scale) ERROR FIX: scaled_x = int(self.internal_surface_size_vector.x*self.zoom_scale) scaled_y = int(self.internal_surface_size_vector.y*self.zoom_scale) scaled_surf = pygame.transform.scale(self.internal_surf, (scaled_x, scaled_y))

@Dr Kayin Miller Or you can directly use the floor division operator //.

good video but there is something unclear for me in the player center camera, when the player moves for example to the right are we only shifting the ground and the trees positions to the left on the xy axis, or are we shifting the whole xy axis, for example lets suppose the screen width is 110 and the player is moving from 110 to 111 , if the ground and the trees are the only things moving then the they will be shifted to the left and the player will get out of the screen because his new position is 112 and the xy axis and the screen are fixed but if the whole xy axis is moving to the left then the player won't get out of screen because the xy axis was shifted to the left and thus the point 112 will be inside the screen

In line 58, you are creating a Tree object and passing it the cameragroup as argument but ow is that adding the object to the group there is no 'add' method. Is there something being done when you intialize the Sprite clas with the cameragroup as an argument?

Will you make a Tutorial on how to transition between maps in a top down game like in zelda with pygame? I cannot find a good tutorial for that.

a question: Can we still use **kwargs for attribute inheritance along with *groups for assigning to groups in the same class inherited from Sprite?

12:30 = genial

Even your file explorer has a nice theme. How did you do that?

For the player center camera, I dont understand what the "group" argument in the player class does and what putting the group argument in super().__init__(super) does or how these 2 things are needed to like connect the player sprite class with the camera group sprite class. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could explain this to me? Thanks in advance :D

Mmm... I have a question. What's the best method to check if a sprite is inside the camera view? For example, I want to update a sprite animation and to check if there are collisions only if the sprite is visible, but I find it a bit hard to implement the code in a template like yours. How can I do it?

video suggestion, a pico-8 game? maybe.

These videos are so helpful. Thank you for all your hard work! I'm trying to add an npc to this so that when the player collides with the npc it prints something to the terminal collideworked = collide_rect(player, bart) print(collideworked) if collide == True: print("you walked into an npc") I'm struggling to connect these two sprites because of the camera changes I have tried finding the player's topleft and bottom right and matching those coordinates to the npc but for some reason those coordinates are totally different and I think it's because player and the npc are in different spritegroups? So using the above code just keeps saying Error: global name 'collide_rect' is not defined I'm using pygame 1.9.2 and python 3.2 because I have a very old pc so maybe collide is not implemented yet? Any help you send would be so kind and I would be very thankful to anyone with ideas that could help me Billie Lyn

You should update your python and pygame, it isn't going to be more hardware intensive. Besides that, pygame 2 only added support for more hardware but all the basic methods have been around for about 20 years so that won't be your issue. I think the issue in your code is that you are calling get_rect on something that isn't a rect.

Your code logic wise works amazing, but your lack of PEP-8 or any formatting rules kills me! Each comma should have a space after it, and in function calls, the key word arguments should not have a space around the equals symbol!

Oh yes, because managing white space is truly the essence of programming. In most scenarios PEP-8 will result only in marginal improvements to readability. Having an add-on that fixes formatting is fine, but no thinking human being should be wasting their mental energy on something as sterile as PEP-8.
