Drawings rects over the player

EDIT: Reposted question so it is clearer.
My issue is that the player rectangles are not on the player because of the camera offset. As a result, the game looks like this (see image 1). It's not working because of the camera offset. I successfully repositioned the yellow rect over the player but I am having trouble repositioning the red rectangle.
I have added comments to my Camera class explaining what I tried and noticed. When I remove the offset to 0, the rects are positioned how I want (but obviously the camera doesn't work anymore). See image 2 for what I am trying to achieve.

class Camera(pygame.sprite.Group):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.offset = pygame.math.Vector2()
self.floor_rect = background.get_rect(topleft = (0,0))
def custom_draw(self):

for sprite in all_sprites_group:

# Groups
all_sprites_group = pygame.sprite.Group()

for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
pygame.quit()
exit()
camera.custom_draw()
all_sprites_group.update()
pygame.display.update()
clock.tick(FPS)```

Since the player is always in the center of the screen, the rectangles are also always in the center of the screen:
pygame.draw.rect(screen, "red", self.base_player_rect, width=2)
pygame.draw.rect(screen, "yellow", self.rect, width=2)
base_rect = self.base_player_rect.copy()
base_rect.center = (WIDTH // 2), (HEIGHT // 2)
pygame.draw.rect(screen, "red", base_rect, width=2)
rect = self.rect.copy()
rect.center = (WIDTH // 2), (HEIGHT // 2)
pygame.draw.rect(screen, "yellow", rect, width=2)
You can also copy the rectangles, shift them by the offset and draw them in the Camera class:
class Camera(pygame.sprite.Group):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.offset = pygame.math.Vector2()
self.floor_rect = background.get_rect(topleft = (0,0))
def custom_draw(self):
self.offset.x = player.rect.centerx - (WIDTH // 2)
self.offset.y = player.rect.centery - (HEIGHT // 2)
#draw the floor
floor_offset_pos = self.floor_rect.topleft - self.offset
screen.blit(background, floor_offset_pos)
# draw the rectangles
base_rect = player.base_player_rect.copy().move(-self.offset.x, -self.offset.y)
pygame.draw.rect(screen, "red", base_rect, width=2)
rect = player.rect.copy().move(-self.offset.x, -self.offset.y)
pygame.draw.rect(screen, "yellow", rect, width=2)
for sprite in all_sprites_group:
offset_pos = sprite.rect.topleft - self.offset
screen.blit(sprite.image, offset_pos)
Also, you need to synchronize the center of the rectangles after moving the player:
class Player(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
# [...]
def move(self):
self.base_player_rect.centerx += self.velocity_x
self.base_player_rect.centery += self.velocity_y
self.rect.center = self.base_player_rect.center # <---

How to make collision detection work when you have simulated gravity for your game?

I am creating a platform game using pygame, in my game I have simulated gravity and platforms that can be jumped on but I'm having trouble getting the collision detection to work correctly. By collision detection I mean when my character sprite jumps I want him to bounce off of the bottom and sides of the platform that will be above him. Now my character sprite jumps through the platform and lands on top of it.
My code is as follows:
My main class:

P.S. added all my code for anyone that may need to see it.

Your question says "when you have simulated gravity" but i don't understand how that would affect the bouncing. The answer below should work with your applied gravity so i don't think gravity will be an issue. So first, to bounce, we will need to know which side of the player is colliding with a particular side of the platform. For this the following functions can be used.
#Checks if right side of the player is colliding with left side of platform
def rightCheck(rect1, rect2):
if rect1.x + rect1.width > rect2.x:
if (rect1.y > rect2.y and rect1.y < rect2.y + rect2.height) or (rect1.y + rect1.height < rect2.y + rect2.height and rect1.y + rect1.height> rect2.y):
if rect1.x < rect2.x:
return True
return False
#Checks if bottom side of the player is colliding with top side of platform
def botCheck(rect1, rect2):
if rect1.y + rect1.height > rect2.y:
if (rect1.x > rect2.x and rect1.x < rect2.x + rect2.width) or (rect1.x + rect1.width > rect2.x and rect1.x + rect1.width < rect2.x + rect2.width):
if rect1.y < rect2.y:
return True
return False
# NOTICE they take pygame.Rect as arguments
For your game you are probably going to need one for left of the player and right side of the platform well, but i don't have it since i copied these from my game. I am sure you can write one yourself :). So, moving on. The code below shows how right side of the player colliding with left side of the platform can be implemented. So you can do this with all the sides. Also, bounce function is probably the only one you are interested in, others i has to put there to make it work.
import pygame
win = pygame.display
D = win.set_mode((1200, 600))
def rightCheck(rect1, rect2):
if rect1.x + rect1.width > rect2.x:
if (rect1.y > rect2.y and rect1.y < rect2.y + rect2.height) or (rect1.y + rect1.height < rect2.y + rect2.height and rect1.y + rect1.height> rect2.y):
if rect1.x < rect2.x:
return True
return False
class Player:
def __init__(self, ):
self.pos = [10, 10]
self.surf = pygame.Surface((50, 50)).convert()
self.energy = 10 #how much the player bounces to the left by
self.trigger = False #Triggers the left push if it is true
self.rightCheck = rightCheck # this is the function to check collision
self.rvel = 0.5 # This is the movement speed
def move(self):
key = pygame.key.get_pressed()
if key[pygame.K_RIGHT]:
self.pos[0] += self.rvel
if key[pygame.K_LEFT]:
self.pos[0] -= 0.5
if key[pygame.K_UP]:
self.pos[1] -= 0.5
if key[pygame.K_DOWN]:
self.pos[1] += 0.5
def draw(self):
D.blit(self.surf, (self.pos[0], self.pos[1]))
def bounce(self, platRect):
selfRect = pygame.Rect(self.pos[0], self.pos[1], 50, 50)
if self.rightCheck(selfRect, platRect):
self.trigger = True
self.rvel = 0
else:
self.rvel = 0.5
if self.trigger:
self.pos[0] -= self.energy*0.1
self.rvel = 0.1
self.energy -= 0.05
if self.energy <= 0:
self.trigger = False
else:
self.energy = 10
p = Player()
while True:
pygame.event.get()
D.fill((255, 255, 255))
platformRect = pygame.Rect(300, 150, 600, 200)
pygame.draw.rect(D, (0, 0, 0), platformRect)
p.bounce(platformRect)
p.move()
p.draw()
p.bounce(platformRect)
win.flip()
It basically just checks if they are colliding and if they are pushes the player a little to the left.

How can I get my collisions to work with the sides of a platform in my platform?

I am currently creating a platform game using python pygame but have gotten stuck with the collisions. I have gotten the bottom and top collisions to work with my character sprite but as of now my character won't stop or bounce off the sides of a platform. when doing collisions, I am using the method sprite.spritecollide() which I would like to do in the same way if anyone can help. I have done the collision check correctly but my code for handling the collision I cannot seem to get it done correctly. My code where I do the collision detection is as follows in the main.py in the game update function:

self.all_sprites.add(p)
self.platforms.add(p)
self.camera = Camera(WIDTH, HEIGHT) # creates the camera with WIDTH and HEIGHT of the screen
self.run()

self.playing = True
while self.playing:
self.clock.tick(FPS)

if hits:
self.player.pos.y = hits[0].rect.top
self.player.vel.y = 0
# collision with the bottom of a platform
if self.player.vel.y < 0:
hits = pygame.sprite.spritecollide(self.player, self.platforms, False)
if hits:
self.player.top = hits[0].rect.bottom
self.player.vel.y = -self.player.vel.y
# collision with the right side of a platform (moving left), here is the code for the right side of the platform
if self.player.acc.x < 0:
hits = pygame.sprite.spritecollide(self.player, self.platforms, False)

self.player.left = hits[0].rect.right
self.player.acc.x = 0
# screen moves with player

def events(self): # Game loop - events
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:

def draw(self): # Game loop - draw

#self.all_sprites.draw(self.screen)
for sprite in self.all_sprites:
self.screen.blit(sprite.image, self.camera.apply(sprite)) # loops through the all_sprites group and blit's each sprite onto the screen
pygame.display.flip()

def draw_text(self,text, size, colour, x, y):
pass
g = Game()
g.start_screen()
while g.running:
g.new()
g.game_over_screen()
pygame.quit()
I have so far only tried doing collisions for the right side of the platforms, once I've done one side I can replicate for the other side.
P.S. if you need more of my code I will add it to the question if asked to.

I can't test your code but usually problem is that spritecollide doesn't inform if you collide on x or y or both.
When you move x and y at once and check collision then you don't know if you collided on x or y or both. If you collided only on y and you will check vel.x and move player then you get wrong result. The same if you collided only on x and you will check vel.y and move player then you get also wrong result.
You have to do it separatelly:
first move only x, check collisions and check only vel.x,
next move only y, check collisions again and check only vel.y,
Something like this:
def update(self):
#self.all_sprites.update()
# collision with top and bottom of platform
# update only y
self.player.pos.y += self.player.vel.y + 0.5 * self.player.acc.y
hits = pygame.sprite.spritecollide(self.player, self.platforms, False)
if hits:
if self.player.vel.y > 0:
self.player.pos.y = hits[0].rect.top
self.player.vel.y = 0
elif self.player.vel.y < 0:
self.player.top = hits[0].rect.bottom
self.player.vel.y = -self.player.vel.y

I have a few questions:
Question n. 1:
Why doesn't the jump method work? And why is it using velocity -20 to jump?
Question n. 2:
I'm not quite sure if I understand the vector coordinates, can someone please try to explain it to me?
I think that this is exactly why I have problems understanding the code.

In pygame, the screen coordinates start at the top left (0,0). Positive Y goes down. Jump is -20 because the player is going up (toward zero). It looks like the player bounces up when it hits an object.
Concerning the jump issue, the game does not start for (Platform not defined) so I can't help there.

Pygame 2D Platformer Full Platform Collision [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How to detect collisions between two rectangular objects or images in pygame
(1 answer)
How do I detect collision in pygame?
(5 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I have been trying to create a 2D platformer in pygame, and I have encountered a problem with the collision of the player sprite with the platform. I hope to implement full collision for the platforms, so that the player sprite will stop when it hits the platform from any direction. Currently, the sprite stops when it hits the top of the platforms, but if it collides with the bottom or sides of a platform it instantly jumps to the top of the platform. I have tried various things to solve this, but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.
I have seperated my code into 3 files.
This is my main file:
import pygame
from settings import *
from sprites import *

self.allSprites.add(self.player)
floor = Platform(0, 680, displayWidth, 40)
plat2 = Platform( 500, 400, 100, 40)
self.allSprites.add(floor, plat2)
self.platforms.add(floor, plat2)
self.run()
#Game Loop

self.gameRunning = True
while self.gameRunning == True:
self.clock.tick(FPS)

#Updates the screen
def update(self):
self.allSprites.update()
hits = pygame.sprite.spritecollide(self.player, self.platforms, False)
if hits:
self.player.pos.y = hits[0].rect.top
self.player.spd.y = 0
self.player.rect.midbottom = self.player.pos
if self.player.rect.left >= displayHeight - 200:
self.player.pos.x -= abs(self.player.spd.x)
for plat in self.platforms:
plat.rect.x -= abs(self.player.spd.x)
if self.player.rect.right <= displayHeight / 4:
self.player.pos.x += abs(self.player.spd.x)
for plat in self.platforms:
plat.rect.x += abs(self.player.spd.x)

This is the code that is responsible for collision:
hits = pygame.sprite.spritecollide(self.player, self.platforms, False)
if hits:
self.player.pos.y = hits[0].rect.top
self.player.spd.y = 0
self.player.rect.midbottom = self.player.pos
I understand that the reason why the sprite jumps to the top of the platform is due to these lines of code:
if hits:
self.player.pos.y = hits[0].rect.top
However, I don't know how to implement full collision.
