Python_textinput issue while using two instances of it - python

I'm working on a choice based adventure game with python, and I'm using pygame to create some graphics for the game.
As I was trying to create a screen so the player can input his real name and the main character name I faced an issue: as I try to create both text inputs (using pygame_textinput module) on the same screen, it just clones what I write in one of them.
I thought I could solve this by putting the other input on a new screen but when I hit enter on the first screen it just passes through the rest of the code and the second input stays empty.
How could I solve this issue?

You need a way to keep track if one of the text input widgets is active, and a way to switch between all widgets.

You see TextInput now has an active flag. If it's not set, the key input is ignored. Also, we store the position and size of TextInput in the new attribute rect, so the new class WidgetManager can switch between the widgets by clicking one with the mouse.
I also removed the Clock from the TextInput class, since calling self.clock.tick() is something the main loop should do.

How can I stop pygame looping though a dictionary uncontrollably?

I'm trying to make my first GUI quiz game. But for some reason when I run the code to loop through the questions, it does it too fast and doesn't wait for the user to choose one on the choices before moving onto the next question.
The number of iterations are supposed to be variable as the user should be able to choose the number of questions, so I can't make a function for each questions and instead am trying to loop though a dictionary and displaying it on the screen. But ran onto more problems. Is there any way for the program to wait until the user chooses one of the choices before moving onto the next question.

The problem is here
if pressed:
continue
continue does not do what you think it does, it only skips the rest of the current iteration and continues with the loop.
Instead, you could use a while loop to keep looping over the click check until a button is pressed.

There are probably still some problems with this code but hopefully this helps fix your problem.

my pygame window crashes whenever i added the sound/music in my game [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How can I play an mp3 with pygame?

how to play wav file in python?

Closed 5 months ago.
I'm not so sure why but my game screen window/pygame window sometimes freezes or is not responding because of the added SFX or music in my game. If I remove the SFX or music the game runs smoothly. Hoping that anyone can help me or at least tell me why it keeps freezing. Thanks very much.
The specific code for music and sounds in class Game can be found in load_data method, run method, and update method.
This is where you can find my music, target SFX when hit, bonus SFX when hit.

I want this code to be able to loop the background infinitely as it moves along with the player. The screen currently does not scroll properly. The crash text is also not centered. How can I center it? If I can get my background to work properly, then my game is mostly complete. My car is also off screen for some reason. What needs to be done to make it be on the screen in the background?Image of My Car and Image of My Background
To center text on screen (or on any other Surface()) you can use Rect().center and
text_rect.center = display_rect.center # center on screen
text_rect.center = button_rect.center # center on button
font.render gives Surface(), and it has .get_rect() to get Rect() with its size and position - at start it may have position (0,0) but self.gameDisplay is also a Surface() and it has .get_rect() which gives Rect() with its size and position. If you copy .center from display to text_rect then you will have centered rect and you can use it in blit() to center text
def display_message(self, msg):
font = pygame.font.SysFont("NFS_by_JLTV.ttf", 72, True)
text_image = font.render(msg, True, (255, 255, 255))
text_rect = text_image.get_rect()
text_rect.center = self.gameDisplay.get_rect().center
self.gameDisplay.blit(text_image, text_rect)
# ... rest ...
As for background mistake is self.bg_y1 = 0 and self.bg_y2 = 0 because you have to set -600 to put background above visible area.
if self.bg_y1 >= self.display_height:
self.bg_y1 = -600
elif self.bg_y2 >= self.display_height:
self.bg_y2 = -600
Maybe it would be simpler if you would use Rect() which has .top and .bottom
and you could set as start
self.display_rect = self.gameDisplay.get_rect()
self.bg2_rect.bottom = self.display_rect.top
self.bg1_rect.bottom = self.display_rect.bottom
and later
if self.bg1_rect.top >= self.display_rect.bottom:
self.bg1_rect.bottom = self.display_rect.top
elif self.bg2_rect.top >= self.display_rect.bottom:
self.bg2_rect.bottom = self.display_rect.top
BTW:
Rect() has also .left, .right, .centerx, .centery, etc. It has also functions to detect collisions with point (ie. mouse position) - ie. rect.collidepoint(mouse_pos) - or with other rectange - ie. car_rect.colliderect( obstacle_rect )

Copying Function

I am making a game similar to Adventure Capitialist. The desired outcome is to have multiple "buy buttons". I have a function that creates one, but if I copy and paste, and change coordinates, it still doesn't work. I will put code from before I attempted to copy the function, because I think I was pretty far off from my desired outcome. The Function I want to copy is capitialistOne

Typewriter Effect Pygame

This question is really difficult to ask, but I know you guys here at Stack Overflow are the brightest minds.
I'm totally blinded by why this issue happens (I'm fairly at Python and Pygame, so any suggestions on how to improve the code will be received with the love of improving my skills).
What I'm creating:
It's really a gimmick project, I have a little 2.5" screen (PiTFT) attached to a Raspberry Pi and the code is creating a typewriter effect with a moving cursor in front of the text as it's being written.
Challenge 1 was that every time you move a sprite in pygame, you must redraw everything, otherwise you will see a trail, and since the cursor is moving in front of the text, the result would look like this:
I managed to solve this issue by blackening / clearing the screen. But then I lost all the previously written letters.
So I created a list (entireword), which I'm populing with all the previously written characters. I use this list every time I cycle through the loop to redraw all the previous written text.
So now:
As you can see, the text looks funny.
It's supposed to read:
[i] Initializing ...
[i] Entering ghost mode ... []
I've been spending hours and hours getting to this point - and the code ALMOST works perfectly! The magic happens in the function print_screen(), but WHAT in my code is causing the text to include a letter from the other line in the end? :>

Sorry if I don't answer your question directly, because your code is too confusing for me now, so I took the liberty to rewrite your code to get done what you want.
The idea is to have two sprites:
the cursor, which is a) displayed on the screen and b) keeps track of what text to write and where
the board, which is basically just a surface that the text is rendered on
Note how all the writing logic is on the Cursor class, and we have a nice, simple and dumb main loop.

Use the pygame.event module. Use pygame.time.set_timer() to repeatedly create a USEREVENT in the event queue. The time has to be set in milliseconds. e.g.:
typewriter_event = pygame.USEREVENT+1
pygame.time.set_timer(typewriter_event, 100)
Add a new letter to the text, when the timer event occurs:
while run:
for event in pygame.event.get():
# [...]
if event.type == typewriter_event:
text_len += 1
