Thank You! I have a video on the car window implementation in details in my channel if interested 😄

Thanks! I will try to redirect the fire to another project, however without shaders, it is hard to have enough particles without impacting performance, so I need to think of another way. Ooh I did not know you added it to MILI UI! I had been following the project for some time but did not catch up on it recently. So I will definitely check it out :)

Thank You! You asked for normal mapping in a very good time, because recently I have been looking at implementing them in pygame. However I have not yet implemented one. Also, given pygame's performance, it is better to stick to pixel art for normal maps. But if we do stick to pixel art, I feel we can use a heightmap instead of a normal map to reduce complexity. I will let you know if I implement it in pygame. Thanks for the suggestion :)

Thank You!

You need to run it with python, and run main.py with all requirements installed.

Hi, Sorry for the late reply. It is a little difficult for me to make a tutorial now, but bitcraft version is basically using a raycast and detecting the collisions. You can read more on raycasting algorithms on the internet for this. Also look into line-rect collision. For further details you can look into how bitcraft implemented their algorithm here: github.com/pygame-community/LegacyWeeklyChallenges/blob/master/01-fog-of-war/bitcraft/main.py

Thanks! That was my objective, and I am glad you feel the same :)

Thanks, but the pixel art is not mine 😅 I used the wonderful assets from craftpix.net (linked in description)

@@codekingchannel ah still impressive, I remember I watched your video on the bee game

@@samueldavies646 😊😊😊

Thanks a lot bro!

Thanks!

Hello! 👋👋👋

@@codekingchannel how can i learn this

Well I would suggest you to try thinking freely when approaching different problems. Instead of doing it the right way, try to first do a hacky way, like faking it. Then try to do the actual thing. For example let's say u want to make a flappy bird game. The correct way to do it is add a camera, spawn pipes and move the camera along the world. However, one simple way is to keep the bird fixed and move pipes towards it. Of course this is not perfect solution but atleast it works. With more practice you will eventually figure out better ways. And after a certain point of time you will realise how you should approach any problem and make any feature. Also keep reading through documentation of libraries, they can help a lot. Also you can try asking chatgpt fot solutions and it will give an approach to do the same.

Thank You very much!

Thank you very much sir for the kind words. I hope you have been able to extract some useful info from my code. If you need further assistance, kindly let me know here (or my discord server) 😃

@@codekingchannelLet's go to the server :)

Thank You 😊

That is a really cool scenario to use the smoke effect!

Thanks, it does work well with pygame. I have another video on multiprocessing using pygame (mostly for implementing a loading screen without impacting performance) which you can see for a further example. Btw, this video was made before launch of pygame-ce. Since then, they have exposed the SDL2 window API which can help you create the same thing as this video in 1 single process!

😃😃😃

Thanks! I am working on it still, and going to make it better :)

Thank You so much!

Thanks a lot @RoboMarchello ! The pygame-HTML project can definitely modified to run a simplified version of Wikipedia. The current limitations are: [1] No JavaScript support [2] Limited CSS support [3] Uses basic HTML rendering, no fancy GUI layout like flexbox etc. [4] Limited alignment horizontally and vertically However, the advantage is that you can integrate it with python and pygame, and therefore use it for GUI rendering in pygame. You can even bind hyperlinks to some action in pygame.

Also, may you provide the code for getting the text the player inputted as a variable you can use. If you are able to, that would help me a lot :)

Hey! I am still active on the channel lol (even though my posting frequency has reduced temporarily). Thank you for the lovely comments! Are you using the exact code I am using? And which version of python are you using? Did you make any adjustments to the original code? If so, what are they? I am asking so that I can help debug the issue further :D

Once you make the textbox object (let us name it t_obj), you can access it's text property any time for getting the net user input at that instant. So in this case you would do <t_obj>.text to access the text.

@@codekingchannel I have copied the code from github, and have made sure that it has not been adjusted at all, and I am using Python 3.12. If the version is the problem, then I'll try to find a way around it. Also thanks a lot for the explanation for the text input. :)

I believe I have just found the issue. On my version of Python, it sometimes accidentally uses one of the text procedures before it is called. I have swapped around the order of the procedures and it is working for now. I will let you know if it is still a problem. Either way, thank you so much for providing the code, and explanation, and being really helpful overall. I believe I can get it to keep working by making sure that the procedures are defined just before they are called. That way it won't matter if it accidentally gets used before it is called, because it would have been called anyway. I have fixed the issue for now. Sorry for the bother, just it being glitchy. Either way, thank you so much for responding and helping to resolve it. Have a wonderful day, and thank you :)

Hi, can you please elaborate on what the error message is? Does copy pasting my exact code work properly for you? It should work theoretically, although I know of 1 potential issue that could have arisen due to minor change in the pygame.Window API. Also, can you tell me which version of pygame are you using? Btw, I would recommend you to switch to pygame-ce if you haven't already :D

Thank You! Good to see you @nerdyturkey312 after a long time :)

Thank You so much bro!

Thanks :)

Haha, glad you enjoyed :)

Thank You!!!

Can you please elaborate? What specific bugs are you getting?

Thank you for the offer. The original code for this is slightly unorganized, but I can put together a organized tutorial for the game. I will also put up the logic of implementing everything, and optimizations I used (there are too many particles during smartbombing so needed to optimize). Let me know if you have any way of reaching out to you individually, like discord or reddit.

btw my discord is: discord.com/invite/qh8XGWypvg

The textbox object has a 'text' attribute for storing text. You can use that for referencing it wherever you want.

Thank You!

XD Also there are particles in the background, although not very noticeable

@@codekingchannel That's why my monitor is with brightness low.

Ah I see

Thank you so much!!!

Interesting Question, because from your description it seems like your picture has a smooth outline. My image is pixelated, i.e. very distinct pixels are colored. Your image is probably anti-aliased, meaning there is a smooth effect. So if you have a black smooth outline (for example), then it will slowly fade from (0, 0, 0, 255) to (0, 0, 0, 0). The intermediate values here do not equate to the colorkey background set in the window. Try using a fine pixel art image and see if it works or not. If it does work, then you need to change the transparency of the image.

Thank You!!! - SRCALPHA was needed because direct drawing on main display using alpha (transparent) values is not supported. Therefore, I first create an SRCALPHA surface, draw transparent circle on it, and then render it to main display. - Flame is pretty optimized and gives over 1000 FPS for me in a 600 X 600 window. On my old PC, it gave about 500 FPS, and could handle 30-40 flames at 60 FPS Once again, thank you :)

@@codekingchannel Thanks for getting back to me! That makes sense why you need SRCALPHA. I've always wondered why the alpha argument in the variable 'color' never did anything. In my game, I've added some torches using your effect, and it does slow the game down a lot (old PC), but that was fairly easy to fix. Everything now runs fine, and the torch adds a lot of good aesthetic. Thank you!

Glad that it is working :) Also you can try to cache the results to improve performance. That should increase FPS quite a bit.

@@codekingchannelHow would you implement that exactly? I've struggled with slow FPS before, but the solution I used was to update and draw on-screen objects instead of all the objects in the whole level. But, I have never heard of caching. It would be interesting to see how that would be done.

@@StormwreckerOfficialWhat you did is a good approach, but caching can indeed enhance the performance by a lot, specially if there are repetitive draw calls. You can use the lru_cache functions for this or design your own caching mechanism. Below is a source code modification of the original flame code where I used lru_cache to cache the results. On my PC, rendering 40 flames without caching took 75 FPS approx. But with caching, I improved it to more than 200 FPS. So you can see the FPS boost is more than 2 times. You can check out the code here: pastebin.com/hedPwgEe

You can use `pygame.math.clamp` or make your custom clamp function.

Ah, that line is from pygame._sdl2. That is not the correct way to use Window module. You need to use window = Window.frojm_display_module() and reuse it later. I did not know about this when I made the game. This is just a temporary fix to constantly focus the window so that it is always on top. I remember someone on reddit made a modification to my game and added features. If I find that, I will post it here. For now, you can use that line per frame to keep the window on top. That should work.

Thanks man, but there are many other pro pygame devs on RUclips too hehe. I am indeed planning on making bigger tutorials. Thank you for the suggestion :)

@@codekingchannel no no ur better in term in detail ur video help to get complex things many tutorials are in term of the simplicity and they do that very well but as for people like me who want to go out of beginners things ur way better

@@saveuyghurmuslims2354 Thanks a lot!!! That was the original intention of the channel - to make advanced content for those who want to go beyond beginners. Thanks for the compliments ❤❤❤

Yes u r right. I can use ADD or SUB too if needed, but the reason I use a new surface is because I don't want to remove the original data below that surface.

Thanks a lot!

Thank You!
