As a python enthusiast and huge fan of LoZ/DS games, I'm greatly looking forward to watching this. My first major project a few years ago was creating an old-school text adventure that runs in the CLI, and I created a simple animated dungeon map that can be called from within (using pygame). I've been planning to whip up some sort of 2d adventure game like this next - can't wait to dig in.

To anyone feeling the same struggle: try watching his other videos in conjunction with this one. Such as the Super Mario video from a year ago and "Creating a platformer in Pygame". If your problem isn't simply understanding Pygame, but programming in general, I suggest practicing with simpler concepts first such as importing libraries, making functions and executables or even simple lists.

I've been watching this a little bit every day and I finally reached the end of the video. This was really cool, and I loved the end result!

Hey ! So im a mac user and i got stuck during the graphic part of the video (around 1:50:00), the probleme was that i was getting the worng sprites for the objects (getting statues instead of trees, etc.). After a bit of testing i undestood that the Mac os walk function doesnt "walk" throught the directory in the correct order so the list we're creating(image_surf) is unsorted. If u're struggling with the same issue, define a new list to get every images from the walk function, then sort it and iterate angain throught the sorted list. def import_folder(path): surface_list = [] sorted_list = [] for _, __, img_files in walk(path): for image in img_files: sorted_list.append(image) sorted_list.sort() for img in sorted_list: full_path = path + "/" + img image_surf = pygame.image.load(full_path).convert_alpha() surface_list.append(image_surf) It works now, i can keep enjoying your tutorial :)

OMG thank you! I was trying to figure this out by looking at the object csv files and seeing why they didn't match the ones in the video. I have to imagine it would've taken me a long time to consider that the walk() function was a possible culprit. I think there's a shorter way to solve the issue. Just add the line img_files.sort() inside the first for loop, like so: for _, __, img_files in walk(path): img_files.sort() for image in img_files:

@toutenunmot

I had the same issue, also on mac. The basic sort() was not sufficient for me as I standardized the naming of the files to be n instead of 0n. 0.png, 1.png, 2.png instead of 0.png, 01.png, 02.png etc. I did this because if you had hundreds of files you would have odd names such as 001.png, 002.png and even worse if you were to have thousands or more files. Any how I put this in a try, except block: files = sorted(files, key=lambda file_name: int(file_name.split('.')[0]))

Just came out of a Uni CS class where our final project used PYGAME. I can actually understand a lot of what you're doing and it's impeccable. Absolutely love this! Warms my LOZ nerd heart!!

Very cool project. It was very interesting to see your working-process!

I'm at 2:56:43 right now, so I don't know if it'll be fixed later in the video, but because of the Y-sorting draw of the sprites, the weapon is overlaping the underneath sprite while the player is overlaped by the sprite, I think that to fix this, we should create another group of visible sprites, that will be drawn above all

It's Awesome

Really appreciate this tutorial! Even though it is pygame related, it contains such great insights into how a project should be structured with as little hardcoding as possible. This one should be watched, no matter if you are into creating games or not.

I´ve already watched that on Patreon it was amazing!

Next you need to sort out this error: File "../Zelda Tutorial/code/main.py", line 23, in run self.screen.fill('black') TypeError: invalid color argument I put standardized color tuples into settings.py and tossed in a line importing those settings into debug.py.

Mario first, I'd say but they are equal in difficulty

First of all, thank you for your tutorial! You have done a great deal of work:) But when I see some of the decisions you made, my eye twitching a little... The game is absolutely unscalable (may be you will rewrite it later in the video I have seen only an hour of your tutorial yet) . You call update method for all visible objects when in fact only player has update method. You check collisions with all obstacles when you can check only with objects in small area around player. And it absolutely blew my mind when you decided to sort all objects before drawing at each frame!!! When the only thing which changes the relative position is player! I think that you at least have to tell people that there is a better way to write your code:) To be more constructive. The usual way to deal with collisions is geohash. You have to store your collidable objects in a hashmap with rounded coordinates as keys. Then you have constant complexity of computing collisions. And you can store static objects in sorted group apart from dynamic then at each step you will have to sort only dynamic object which are present on the screen. Keeping in mind that you usually have way more static objects than dynamic, it will be a significant reduce in computational complexity.

1. Make sure you find good looking assets. Opengamearts and itch.io both have some really good (and free ones) but you do need to look for a bit 2. You can use a pixel scaler (lospec.com/pixel-art-scaler/) that can increase the size of an art asset without losing quality (for pixel art). 3. What also helped is that I set my screen scaling to 250% so that my 4K screen works more like 720p screen, which does make things look better. Obviously that doesn't work for actual games so make sure to focus on step 1 and 2 Hope that helps :)

@desmond-hawkins

The first thing to check is why you don't have anything in animation_frames. You're accessing frame 0, meaning the first one in the "frames" list. If you're getting an index list out of range, it means the list *must* be empty, otherwise it would pick whatever is at index zero. What you're proposing with the `if` condition works only for cases where your index is past the end of the list *and* there is something in the list. Your "if" condition says: if I'm past the end, just use the first one. But look at the statement 3 lines above: self.frame_index = 0 - you *are* already setting this to zero, so an "if" block that sets it to zero as well is not going to help. Think about it: if 0 is the index of the first element, you can only access frames[0] if there is at least one element. This means that using index 0 with an empty list *is* going out of range. Does that make sense? The thing to debug is why self.frames is empty, meaning why animation_frames is empty since you set self.frames to animation_frames. I see that animation_frames is passed as the second parameter to the constructor, so look at your code that builds this object with ParticleEffect(pos, animation_frames, groups) in create_grass_particles and find why animation_frames is empty. Good luck!

I didn't follow the tutorial line by line (I watch the video in chunks, then try to implement the functionality myself, which is better for learning), but your error doesn't make sense to me. The line HERE--: self.image = self.frames[self.frame_index] you gave is inside the init method, so this line is only ran when the particle is created, which means that self.frame_index will always be 0 here (since you just set self.frame_index = 0 a few lines before). So the only way for you to get a "list index out of range" here is if your self.frames is an empty list... which suggests an issue with self.frames. One way this can happen is if your path to the art assets is wrong, so that running import_folder returns an empty list.

TL:DR Make sure your Current Working Directory is the same as the location of your main .py file. Ayo, I had the exact same error. I know for me specifically, I had trouble right from the beginning because my python terminal's current working directory was the folder I was launching my IDE from, and it took me far longer than it should have to realize that lol. I use Visual Studio Code as my IDE. I always launch VSC from a root folder(that is to say the folder that contains the project in it's entirety) and so the settings default to using that root folder as the current working directory. If you downloaded any of the code from Github, when you extracted the contents it created a file, and that is the file I would launch VSC from. So basically whenever I would launch the main .py the project would throw FileNotFoundErrors, and I found a temporary work around by removing one of the periods. From "../" to "./". Nearly every file path the video shows us he states that we need to move up one working directory, with the "../". But whenever I used the same file pathing as shown in the video it would fail. For me it is because my Current Working Directory was a different folder than the folder that my main .py was being executed from. If the CWD is not the same as main .py then whenever a file path is read it will always fail. What's essentially going is that when a file path is called the program thinks it's somewhere different than it actually is. Think of it like an elevator into an underground secret lab or something. The main .py file is located on sublevel 3, and when called the file path says: "Okay we're on sublvl 3, we need to gotta go up to sublvl 2 to retrieve the data we need to do stuff!". But the program doesn't really know it's in sublvl 3, it relies on the Python Terminal for that. So if the CWD is set for sublvl 2 (like mine was by being set to the root file I was launching VSC from) the file path is going to say: "Okay bois we're on sublvl 2 and we gotta go up to sublvl 1!" It was not until I ran into the same error that you posted about that I figured out what was going on. Once I changed the Current Working Directory in the Python Terminal to the same folder as the main .py, which is located in the "code" folder, everything worked perfectly. Maybe this helps, if not sorry for the life story lol. EDIT: main .py were all hyperlinks, gave 'em all a space.

@@allisteria5906 Trying to keep track of current work directory should work, but it's probably not the best solution. It could cause issues, for instance, if the code was transferred to a different machine. First, for debugging purposes, it may make sense to replace relative paths that are giving issues with the absolute file paths. This allows you to verify that the rest of the code is working, and that the issue really is with the paths... Second, you can improve on the above by using code to generate the absolute paths for your specific machine. For example, is you start the a file with from pathlib import Path directory = str(Path(__file__).parent) the variable "directory" will contain the absolute path to the directory containing this file. So then you can just add stuff to the directory path to generate absolute paths for all the other files.

​@@LuisPereira-bn8jq I understand what you're saying. I don't mean constantly keep track of what your CWD, because to my knowledge, the CWD doesn't really change in this project. It's just to make sure that the working file (main. py) and terminal are in sync. a simple "cd" in the terminal could potentially be all he needs. I'm assuming that our man is following the video, that's what I have been doing. So if he's followed the code exactly( Which is what I'm assuming most of us are doing) and everything is set up correctly then it should work. My issue is that I didn't set up my IDE correctly, I'm simply putting that forward as a possible solution. There is no need to change what code he's showing us since it all works (for the video, himself and myself) up to that point. An error like that almost 6 hours into the video indicates to me that it's probably something on the user side, rather than inherently wrong with the code he's following. Now what you're saying makes sense, and is definitely a good approach. I absolutely encourage learning to properly debug software (It's something I'm currently learning)

Screw it, I'm learning Python.

You are blowing my mind for a completely guide. Thanks very much for your sharing knowledge

Awesome content and well explained. Perfection!

at 1:44:30 you are using the walk method wich dont aways return a list of files in order. Maybe its bc i'm using 3.8 but idk. Before the second for loop in line 17 i use img_files.sort() so this is in order and the surfaces match perfectly.
