Here's a tip: VSCode shows the current object and function I'm editing right under the file tabs, which can help you keep track of where I am at all times. Clarification: If you have larger entities, they need to look up a larger area of tiles around them for physics. I used a 3x3 table in the tutorial, but you may need a larger one for large entities. A 5x5 table would be every pair of numbers between -2 and 2. (3x3 is -1 to 1) As of the release of this tutorial, I'm still using Pygame CE. They've actually released another update since I started working on this video as well!

You are a wizard of using Pygame, your previous tutorials were amazing, and the amount you've been able to build up around the library is immensely impressive. Thank you for sharing your experience and insight to everyone

wow i remember a few years ago following your platformer tutorial, very glad to see you continuing the series :D

Thanks so much for the great tutorials! It’s awesome to see your thought processes and see how you make such high quality experiences using python!

Just finished this amazing tutorial, took me about 4 days though spent about 18hours on it. But it was worth every second! This is the first time I actually worked with Pygame, and after your tutorial, I definitely have quite a few ideas of what I can do on my own. Will be checking out your other tutorials as well. Thanks for some amazing content !

This is actually the best video i've ever seen that explains things very easily for a beginner and helped me understand the "WHY" behind every code. Thank you so much, subbed!

this is crazy. a tutorial from the actual best, i can't wait to do this.

this has helped me so much now im hooked on your videos :) also remade my platformer im working on thanks to so many of your techniques. and joined the discord and there are so many helping people there! looking forward of what your'e gonna do next! 😊

Around 32:34 a good practice is to stop and try to code in left and right movement, then add a collision box on each side at equal distances. Helped me understand the code and get a better grasp for placing things in relation to the resolution

i just migrated to pygame from html and js canvas, am skimming through this tutorial and it's very fun. Learning OOP for games is really worth it🙂

After the optimizations around 1:52:15 I adjusted the tilemap __init__ to add a million tiles in each direction instead of just 10. it took a while for the project to start but even with 2 million tiles loaded into the tilemap it was still buttery smooth once it got going!

@@DaFluffyPotato I wonder if the optimization is more about not having to query the whole dict more than queuing a lot of draw calls. Of course premature optimization is the root of all evil and we should always benchmark before trying to optimize. I think the SDL library (and the backend it uses, Opengl, Metal, Vulkan..) will be more than happy to discard any draw call that draws off the screen, but there is the cost of querying the whole dictionary anyway, so your solution could cut the time spent there. Anyway, I'm not sure how much of an issue that could be. Anyway, this is only something I'm asking myself and your videos are super, thank you!

This guy has to go down in the books as the best Python game developer.

Could someone help me with the following: When running after the 2:40:00 mark the tiles that are being placed are transparent instead of full? When I change the alpha of the current_tile_img the placed tiles are not transparent anymore. How can it be that this is not the case in the video.

God damn Fluffy , you really went in with this one

Awesome stuff you did sharing this , many thanks :) . One thing for those who made it to enemies :P : while DaFluffyPotato does mention and switches to off grid placement for the player ( and subsequent the enemies ), if one does place the spawners by accident on grid like me, extract will fail. This is because the spawners are not part of self.offgrid_tiles, but self.tilemap, and the loop in the extract function its done on the self.tilemap directly and not on a copy. Reckon by accident and the loop should be done on a copy to catch this cases.

If anyone runs into an issue with their character falling through the floor: Collision detection is checking where you are located in the a grid system ---> that's what the tiles_around() function does. It uses the co-ordinates from the top left of your player image to workout where you are. If your player image is larger that the grid system it will only register that you are in the next grid section to update the collisions after you have fallen through the floor. Try checking from the center of the image instead. Or else you may need to do more than one check i.e. top left, bottom right. Or else increase the checking distance to include more tiles. Interesting way to do the collision detection though

Immensely grateful for this. Thank you.

anyone know why printing the tiles around the player wont work (doesn't show i crossed or got near the grass while falling but can still use collision properly) i think it might be because i'm programming from inside WSL and the vscode term isn't giving me output info properly but idk.

i literally said wow at the jumping part, genius idea

at 1:33:00 if you divide self.scroll by 30 then the camera follow up will be slow . If you jump from high distance your player will fall first and camera wouldn't be able to follow up player , so divide it by 20 so no matter how high you jump the camera will follow up player in slow manner but without losing its track .

could you explain to me the neighbor offset list at 1:07:15 ? I didn't really understand it

Hi there, I have a question, I was testing the code from the part "02_images_input_collisions.zip", but I noticed that, even with one image and some rectangles (btw, i used the .convert() in the image) the FPS is kinda weird, like, the movement of the cloud is not smooth. if i take the cloud to the upper part and hold the down arrow, i can see some stutter, like if some frames was being skipped. I can also see that in your video. I dont know if i was clear enough. I tried to debug and i added a start_time = time.time() right after the while True and added a print(time.time() - start_time) right after the self.clock.tick(60), the expected result should be close to 0.01666, but sometimes it was printing 0.019, 0.020. Is this expected? I can see some of these stutters when you show your partial results, i dont know if this is intrinsec to pygame.

@DaFluffyPotato

clock.tick() isn't perfect. It will always take slightly longer than it's supposed to and cause some jitter because of the display refresh rate. Typically it's better to use delta time and uncapped framerates, which I have another tutorial on.

Yes. If you don't like that you can use the camera offset technique I mention instead. It's negligible.

I’m using replit for my python game project and I’m very confused as to why the ‘movement’ is labelled as unknown. If anybody could help me that would be greatly appreciated.

you can actually do something about that camera bug when it gets closer to it's target, I believe you can target more of a radius of 5-10 pixel from the player origins, so once it gets closer to the player it will stop trying to center it perfectly and avoid the bug (but of course, the player will be slightly offset by 5-ish pixels) OR when it gets to that 3-5 close pixels, suddenly speed the camera from 30 to 100 so it gets spot on in maximum 2 frames (about 1:35:50)
