I'm trying to create a game where the action is shown in a little box within the main screen object, freeing up the surrounding space for text and menus and what-not. Since the map is larger than the allotted window, I coded a basic "camera" that follows the player around. It mostly works, but I'm having trouble "trimming off" the area outside of this window.
Here's the relevant bits of code (EDITED to provide Working Example):
import pygame, os, sys

self.rec.height *= y_ratio

self.y_offset = y_offset
def get_pos(self):
return (self.x_offset - self.rec.x, self.y_offset - self.rec.y)

Moving the player past past the bounds of the camera's window causes the window to roll up completely and disappear. I tried adjusting the blitting coordinates, as advised earlier, but it seems to only change the direction in which the window rolls up.
From your updated code, the blitting coordinates for self.screen.blit(...) are still changing: self.camera.get_window() changes value because rec.x and rec.y are values referring to the player position within the map. Hence you should define a constant minimap coordinate, this should be the same as the camera offset.
self.screen.blit(self.map_screen, (self.camera.x_offset,self.camera.y_offset), (*self.camera.get_pos(), self.camera.rec.width, self.camera.rec.height))
Change the Camera().get_pos() to:
def get_pos(self):
return (self.rec.x, self.rec.y)
I believe I only changed the self.screen.blit(...) and stopped using or rewrote your Camera functions as you're confusing yourself with all the rec variables.
To illustrate it working amend the Map().draw(screen) to:
def draw(self, screen):
pygame.draw.rect(screen, (200,200,200), self.rec)
pygame.draw.circle(screen, (255, 255, 255), (50, 50), 20, 2)
One tip as well don't draw the entire map at each loop, just the part that will be visible.

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 )
When the big circle touches the little circles I want the little circle that it touched to disappear from the screen. However, I can't figure out how exactly you delete an individual drawing in pygame. How do I fix this issue? does pygame have this feature built-in?

Your code was so messy and hard to maintain, first I made 2 classes for Balls & Dots.
I detect collision by pygame.Rect.colliderect, first I make 2 rectangle then I check the collision like this:
def pick_up(ball, dot):
ball_rect = Rect( ball.x - ball.SIZE , ball.y - ball.SIZE , ball.SIZE*2, ball.SIZE*2)
dot_rect = Rect( dot.x - dot.SIZE , dot.y - dot.SIZE , dot.SIZE*2, dot.SIZE*2)
if ball_rect.colliderect(dot_rect):
return True
return False
If collision detects I remove it from dots array in the while loop:
for dot in dots:
if pick_up(ball, dot): # if dot in range ball
dots.remove(dot)
dot.draw()
Here is the whole source:

PyGame Rectangle Collision
http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/rect.html#pygame.Rect.colliderect
Update2:
I make a repo in the github and did some changes,
Dots are colorful, new dot gets random color and the ball gets bigger whenever eats a dot.

The code should delete it from the locations list so that it's not re-drawn in the future. You clear the screen each frame, so clearing + not-redrawing is "deleting".
Say you modified pick_up() to simply return True or False:
def pick_up(x, y, xx, yy):
result = False
distance = m.sqrt(m.pow(xx - x, 2) + m.pow(yy - y, 2))
if distance < 19:
result = True # It was picked
return result
Then as you iterate through the locations list drawing & checking for being picked, save the index of the picked circles, then remove them from the locations in a second step. Using the 2-step form means you don't have to worry about accidentally skipping items if you delete from the list as you iterate over it.
p_1_x += p_1_change_x
p_1_y -= p_1_change_y
picked_up = [] # empty list to hold "picked" items
for i, locate in enumerate(locations):
dot = draw.circle(screen, (0, 0, 0), locate, 5)
dots.append(dot)
for l in enumerate(locate):
if ( pick_up(p_1_x, p_1_y, locate[0], locate[1]) ):
picked_up.append( i ) # save the index of anything "picked"
# remove any picked-up circles from the list
for index in sorted( picked_up, reverse=True ): # start with the highest index first
print( "Removing circle from location[%d]" % ( index ) ) # DEBUG
del( locations[ index ] )
This is my first time asking here, so sorry if I don't ask very well.
Lately I've been trying to make a Terraria-type game where you can break/place blocks in a randomly generated landscape. While trying to implement the breaking-block mechanic (which is triggered by clicking on a block), I ran into an issue. The block no longer became solid (that's a good thing), but the block's image is still there, and I can walk right through it.
A visual example:
Before breaking block vs.
After breaking block

If someone could explain what I'm doing wrong, it would be much appreciated.
Update 2: Added player class and settings file to help anyone willing to assist me find the issue.
From just a glance, it looks like you might not be clearing the screen at any point in the update loop, but rather drawing over what was already there. This would result in the block still being visible, but not actually there. Try adding screen.fill(#Color here) before flipping the display. Also try using pygame.display.update() instead of pygame.display.flip()
You can do this:
all_sprites = pg.sprite.Group()
all_sprites.add(your_sprite)
#your event:
all_sprites.remove(your_sprite)
I am working on a program that evolves creatures over time using a genetic algorithm. However, for some reason, my pygame display stopped working and I have absolutely no idea why. When I run the program, the window opens but then it just sits on a black screen. I have tested to see where the program gets to and about 38 creatures die then nothing happens. However, these creatures should be displaying before their deaths also, but they aren't.Any help would be wonderful! Thank you for all your time!

I suspect the livingCreatures variable is never set to False, so the pygame.display.flip() never gets called--and you won't see anything on the screen at all until you flip the buffers. The fact that you're filling the screen with a color, but then still seeing black, is a dead giveaway for this sort of problem.
In the future, you should also try to reproduce the problem in a simpler example without domain-specific, irrelevant code.
