Thank you so much for the tutorial. I had a project in school where I had to pick a skill, learn it for a month, and make an end project and this video has made all the difference. I understood the parts of Python you were using, what they were doing, and how to modify them to fit my needs which is great. Very rarely do I find a tutorial that helps me learn rather than copy but I'm glad I found one today.

You're a very good tutor, definitely an educator level. You explain what you write, the purpose and how a code or line of code is used. Readability is also important, the highlight effect, the zoom-in. Unlike most tutorial videos, they only say what they type which we (the viewers) are already looking at, or what is worse is they don't bother zooming in their codes, they are like texts from mini bible. Thank you so much.

Great tutorial! One small comment: When rotating the images, the height and width change as well. That is what caused the problems with border and that is why the bullets don't shoot out from the middle of the spaceship. And why the bullets start in front of the spaceship.(That's why Tim added + 15, which is the difference between height and weight, 55-40 = 15). To correct the border you can change yellow.height to yellow.width in the yellow_handle_movement. To correct the bullets, you can change yellow.width to yellow.height in the Main function at the bullet movement.(bullet = pygame.Rect(yellow.x + yellow.height, yellow.y + yellow.width//2 - 2, 10, 5))

Great tutorial! I could say even the best out there. I was trying to follow many pygame tutorials but your one was the only one that explained everything well! Thanks!

Thanks for the clear explanation on how pygame works. My final project for Python II is due in 2 weeks and you just saved my life.

Really nice that you kept the bugfixing in there because that's like 90% of the work. Showing how to fix code is almost as valuable as showing how to write new code.

I love your tutorials Tim, and something funny i found in the video: Tim: 'im gonna write some code and go abit faster now, but we gonna go through it after' Tim: going exactly the same nice and calm speed and explaining everything as he goes xD

I really appreciate the way you explain why things are the way they are!

Dude thank you so much! this video is amazing and it is great to find someone who covers all the issues that might happen. you helped me a lot!

You covered so much in just one video. Thank you.

Im at 45:00 in your video, and granted i have taken everything very slowly and wrote special notes in my own code so i can come back and refer here, this is SOOO helpful. i was getting bored doing tutorials and this is making me have fun now. So far i have two working spaceships with the border in the middle and im sittin here so happy that i made it. Even if i was following ur code. Im gonna finish these and continue to do projects cuz im learning a lot of applications of the code as well as growing a little project base of my own that i can always come back to and refer to and look at my own notes about why the code is written the way it is, and its like my own little cheatsheet of code with applications that i KNOW work. Great vid! vscode makes this soooo much better too. i was still using IDLE before i switched to vsc lol

Sound effets worked fine! Great work, keep going, thank you!

Nice work! Had fun going through this an learning the basics of game dev with pygame. As simple as this program may be I will save it forever as my very first game project. Thanks Tim!

Amazing tutorial tim! Keep it up.

I think the reason why can go further down than the button at 48:25 is that you've rotated the spaceship. So now height is technically width and width is height. If you change the variables in the if-statement it should work fine.

this and you guys should also change your movement if statements to take into account if red/yellow.x/y ± SPEED goes over your border so the if statements look like this if keys[pygame.K_w]: if yellow.y - SPEED >= 0: yellow.y -= SPEED else: yellow.y = 0 if keys[pygame.K_a]: if yellow.x - SPEED >= 0: yellow.x -= SPEED else: yellow.x = 0 if keys[pygame.K_s]: if yellow.y + SPEED + yellow.height

You just indirectly gave me a genius idea to handle window blits WAY more efficiently in my project THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I am grateful that you are zooming in on the code part.

This is a truly great tutorial! You could have just made little “pew, pew, pew” noises for the firing and “blam” for the collisions. That would have sounded cute!

For your problem at 48:20 its actually a pretty easy fix the rectangles you drew for the spaceship to be blit in are rotated incorrect just change the height and width in the main Yours: red = pygame.Rect(100, 450, SPACESHIP_WIDTH, SPACESHIP_HEIGTH) Fixed: red = pygame.Rect(100, 450, SPACESHIP_HEIGHT, SPACESHIP_WIDTH) Change that for both and it should be fine :) This also fixes the greater distance to the middle border. But great tutorial!!!

Thank you for this amazing tutorial Tim!

You're the best python tutor in the world, Tim!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Tim, Thanks for the great tutorial, the code and the assets. I think the problem with the ships going off the bottom and being way of the border etc,. is because the images were rotated but the ship's rectangles weren't. I just switched the width and heights where red and yellow were created and it removed the need for the adjustments. I apologise if you were already aware of this by now 😁

Thank you so much. After I watch this, I hope I'll be able to create fun games for some kids in my neighborhood!

OMG thanks so much no other py game tutorials have worked for me! This is so helpful!

So cool! I'm a first-time pygame user and this was such a cool experiance to walk through and take notes and expand on the process!!!

For anyone who followed the tutorial and want to practice more of what you learned, here's some things you could do to make the game better. -Add a collision check to the bullets so if they collide, they destroy each other -Add poer ups that you can pick up and will increase the amount of bullets you can fire, increase bullet speed etc... -Add a healt system so you can get hit more times before you die -You could also add a healtbar if you're adding a healt system -You can also add different firing modes, like holding down a different key will shoot 2 bullets next to each other etc... -You could also add a border that slowly shrinks the space you can move around to prevent stalemates -You could add a score system That's just some ideas that came to mind and i'm implementing some of them already myself

For anyone else wondering why the bottom part of the ship was going through the bottom of the window and how to fix that without manually adding pixels to it the problem is that he set the width and height of the spaceship as constants... then he rotated the image by 90 degrees which made the height be the width and the width be the height so just switch the values around for the rects and that should make it so you don't have to manually adjust for not going through the top and bottom, and bullets properly hit the ship

The problem you had with the spaceship going off the border is because of mixing up height and width when you rotated the spaceship. Here is a correct version: def red_movement(keys_pressed, red): if keys_pressed[pygame.K_LEFT]: # if left key is pressed if (red.x - VEL - 5) pass else: red.x -= VEL if keys_pressed[pygame.K_RIGHT]: if (red.x + VEL + SPACESHIP_HEIGHT) > WIDTH: pass else: red.x += VEL if keys_pressed[pygame.K_DOWN]: if (red.y + 4 + SPACESHIP_WIDTH) > HEIGHT: pass else: red.y += VEL if keys_pressed[pygame.K_UP]: if (red.y - 4) pass else: red.y -= VELdef red_movement(keys_pressed, red): if keys_pressed[pygame.K_LEFT]: # if left key is pressed if (red.x - VEL - 5) pass else: red.x -= VEL if keys_pressed[pygame.K_RIGHT]: if (red.x + VEL + SPACESHIP_HEIGHT) > WIDTH: pass else: red.x += VEL if keys_pressed[pygame.K_DOWN]: if (red.y + 4 + SPACESHIP_WIDTH) > HEIGHT: pass else: red.y += VEL if keys_pressed[pygame.K_UP]: if (red.y - 4) pass else: red.y -= VEL

I'm new to coding and was struggling after the basics, this really helped me to get an insight and i watched a bunch of tutorials and was almost on the verge of loosing hope. Most of the videos out there are hard to understand with the logic maybe because they don't know or they just posting it for the views. but your contents are really different and you know what you talking about, Teaching or programming you will reach great heights bro.

An excellent pygame tutorial,congrats!

Very overwhelming at first but this is a very good guide on learning game dev with pygame, thank you so much!

Also find out is that it is best to move the if winner_text != "" section to after draw_window in the main(), this will allow the health to be properly displayed to 0, then the game will show who is the winner. Whereas original setup will declare the winner when the health is still showing 1. hopefully this helps anyone wanting to make the game even more polished.

Hey the problem with ships not moving good around the border (going under the screen and cant touch the border on the right) is because we made our hitboxes/collision before they were rotated , so collision boxes are placed horizontal and not vertical , all you have to do is switch the SPACESHIP_WIDTH and SPACESHIP_HEIGHT values but then switch them while scaling the picture (YELLOW_SPACESHIP and RED_SPACESHIP), anyway thank you for getting me into python programming @Tech With Tim !

Hey Tim, found the cause of your problem at 48:20 with the ship going outside the screen. Because you have rotated the image now the width and height have swapped thus your image does not match the rect anymore. Loved your video by the way!

great tutorial, sound effects worked for me :)

Very beautiful code man. Love your explanations. Tailing!!!

Instead of duplicating, you could use the same function to handle both red and yellow keypresses. Just use the player variable to decide which ship to move, less unnecessary code repetition

i was genuinely shocked when i saw his face for the first time

Thanks again. I was able to follow along to the end. Great explanation! ✌️

You should also consider teaching unity😃

I will do this great tutorial as many times as possible until I can teach Pygame to others. As Tim said in another video, the best way to learn is to teach.

Great tutorial! Thanks for all of the help

This video was amazing, it really got me through my school project, thank you.

One thing I'm worried about is when you finish a game round, you restart by calling the main() function from within the main() function. This means that the original call to the main() function never gets closed. Wouldn't this cause an increase in memory use after every game round? Given that this is a simple game, you'd probably need to play an insane number of rounds before your computer crashes with an "out of memory error" or similar, but if the game was much bigger, this may become a problem. How about not calling main() in line 177 and instead change line 180+ to: if __name__ == "__main__": while True: main()
