Pygame Program Execution Error - python

I'm making a pygame program to animate a sprite, but the problem isn't a particular error:
import sys
import os
import pygame
from pygame.locals import *
pygame.init ()
WHITE = ( 255, 255, 255 )
BLACK = ( 0, 0, 0 )
Surface = pygame.display.set_mode ((400, 400), 0, 32)
pygame.display.set_caption ('Animation Test')
class Processes (object):
#staticmethod
def load_image (imagefile):
image = pygame.image.load (imagefile) #Remember to call imagefile as a string statement
return image, image.get_rect ()
class Sprite (pygame.sprite.Sprite):
def __init__ (self):
pygame.sprite.Sprite.__init__ (self)
self.image, self.rect = Processes.load_image ('frame1.jpg')
self.blindrect = pygame.Rect ((self.rect.top - 289, self.rect.left - 289), (self.rect.width, self.rect.height))
def animation (self, key_event = None, mouse_event = None):
blindpass = 0
if key_event == K_LEFT:
self.rect.centerx = self.rect.centerx - 10
if key_event == K_RIGHT:
self.rect.centerx = self.rect.centerx + 10
if key_event == K_UP:
self.rect.centery = self.rect.centery - 10
if key_event == K_DOWN:
self.rect.centery = self.rect.centery + 10
if mouse_event == MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
self.rect.centerx, self.rect.centery = pygame.mouse.get_pos ()
if blindpass > 0:
if key_event == K_LEFT:
self.blindrect.centerx = self.blindrect.centerx - 10
if key_event == K_RIGHT:
self.blindrect.centerx = self.blindrect.centerx + 10
if key_event == K_UP:
self.blindrect.centery = self.blindrect.centery - 10
if key_event == K_DOWN:
self.blindrect.centery = self.blindrect.centery + 10
if mouse_event == MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
self.rect.centerx, self.rect.centery = pygame.mouse.get_pos ()
mecha = Sprite ()
allsprites = pygame.sprite.RenderPlain ((mecha, ))
while True:
Surface.fill (WHITE)
for event in pygame.event.get ():
if event.type == KEYDOWN:
mecha.animation (key_event = event.key)
if event.type == MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
mecha.animation (mouse_event = event.type)
if event.type == QUIT:
pygame.quit ()
sys.exit (0)
allsprites.draw (Surface)
pygame.display.update ((mecha.rect, mecha.blindrect))
Now, the error is a bit weird. The output is that the sprite does appear on the screen, and it moves when I provide key and mouse input, but the problem is is that it's leaving trails. Which is why I created a rectangle to trail the sprite rectangle which is supposed to be filled with white every time the game loop loops. But it doesn't. At least, not until I minimize the window, and pull it up again, all the trails disappear and the background becomes white instead of black. But when I move the image, the trails start forming again. I minimize, they disappear as supposed to.

If your render function does:
screen.fill(white)
# blit or sprite group drawing
pygame.display.flip()
It will clear the entire screen in white, draw the sprites once. There won't be a trail.
Your code didn't pasted correctly. fLike your if QUIT statement has no indention, for a multi statement. The same with class Sprite
You might get naming problems if you use Surface or Sprite as your class/variable names.

You're not initializing and updating the blindrect correctly. That's why the correct portion of the screen is not being updated and your sprite is leaving a trail.
In your update loop, since you're only updating the portion of the display that changed, you need to update the entire screen once to initialize it before you go into the update loop. That's why the screen is not initially white.
See the updated source below (only the Sprite class and later was modified):
class Sprite (pygame.sprite.Sprite):
def __init__ (self):
pygame.sprite.Sprite.__init__ (self)
self.image, self.rect = Processes.load_image ('frame1.jpg')
#initialize blindrect to be the same rectangle as rect
self.blindrect = pygame.Rect ((self.rect.top, self.rect.left), (self.rect.width, self.rect.height))
def animation (self, key_event = None, mouse_event = None):
print(self.rect)
print(self.blindrect)
#save the current sprite position before moving the sprite
self.blindrect.centerx = self.rect.centerx
self.blindrect.centery = self.rect.centery
if key_event == K_LEFT:
self.rect.centerx = self.rect.centerx - 10
if key_event == K_RIGHT:
self.rect.centerx = self.rect.centerx + 10
if key_event == K_UP:
self.rect.centery = self.rect.centery - 10
if key_event == K_DOWN:
self.rect.centery = self.rect.centery + 10
if mouse_event == MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
self.rect.centerx, self.rect.centery = pygame.mouse.get_pos ()
print(self.rect)
print(self.blindrect)
mecha = Sprite ()
allsprites = pygame.sprite.RenderPlain ((mecha, ))
#need to initially fill the entire surface with white
Surface.fill (WHITE)
pygame.display.update ((pygame.Rect((0,0),(400,400))))
while True:
Surface.fill (WHITE)
for event in pygame.event.get ():
if event.type == KEYDOWN:

Bullets wont show when fired... Attributes seems to show bullet is moving but wont show [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Why is nothing drawn in PyGame at all?
(2 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
Below is the code... Bullet class is defined first, class is called in _fire_bullet, _update_screen, and _check_KEYDOWN. When spacebar is pressed the event handler should take in the event key, call _fire_bullet function where a bullet object is created and added to sprite list. Then fired and moves across screen. As of now its going to move the wrong direction but I will correct that issue easily when I can actually see the bullet.

Your _update_screen() function is drawing your bullets after updating the display. The bullets then get overwritten next time _update_screen() is called when you fill the screen with the background color.
If you reorder your screen update function as follows you should be able to see your bullets:
def _update_screen(self):
""" update screen """
self.screen.fill(self.bg_color)
self.blitme()
for bullet in self.bullets.sprites():
bullet.draw_bullet()
print(bullet.rect.midright)
pygame.display.flip()
Also, you can create an image for your bullet by changing your initialization function:
…
#create a bullet at rect (0,0) and the set the correct position
self.image = pygame.Surface((self.bullet_width, self.bullet_height))
self.image.fill(self.bullet_color)
self.rect = self.image.get_rect()
Then you won't need a draw_bullet() function, you can replace the drawing of individual bullets in _update_screen() with self.bullets.draw(self.screen)

I cannot add gravity to my player in pygame [duplicate]

I tried adding gravity to my player in pygame, but I can move the player with key controls but gravity is not working, Here I used sprite class for making this. I got the rect of the image then add the x momentum and y momentum. X momentum worked while moving the player but y momentum didn't work while adding the gravity. Please help!

The gravity doesn't work because self.y_momentum is set 0 at the begin of Player.move:
class Player(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
# [...]
def move(self):
# Set the movement to zero at first
self.x_momentum = 0
self.y_momentum = 0
# [...]
Since pygame.Rect is supposed to represent an area on the screen, a pygame.Rect object can only store integral data.
The coordinates for Rect objects are all integers. [...]
The fraction part of the coordinates gets lost when the position stored in the Rect object is decremented:
# Move the player
self.rect.x += self.x_momentum
self.rect.y += self.y_momentum
If you want to store object positions with floating point accuracy, you have to store the location of the object in separate variables respectively attributes and to synchronize the pygame.Rect object. round the coordinates and assign it to the location (e.g. .topleft) of the rectangle:
class Player(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
def __init__(self):
# [...]
self.x = screen_width // 2
self.y = screen_height // 2
self.rect = self.image.get_rect(center = (self.x, self.y))
# [...]
def move(self):
# [...]
# Move the player
self.x += self.x_momentum
self.y += self.y_momentum
self.rect.topleft = round(self.x), round(self.y)

Pygame: bullets sticks to the screen

My problem is very simple. The bullets I fire sticks to the screen if I shoot fast. If I shoot slowly, they don't stick. Anyone have an idea how this phenomenon occurs?

Joran Beasley's answer is correct. I'd just like to point out that you can also put the behavior of the sprites into their update methods which get called automatically when you call all_sprites_list.update(). You can actually move most of the code in the while loop to the update methods.
I've got an example with these changes and some more tips in the comments (a quick code review):

Is there a better way to move a sprite using the keyboard with Pygame?

Currently, I have small image that I move using the D and A keys on the keyboard. The code works just how I want it to, but it seems to be a bit unnecessarily complicated. Is there a more efficient way of doing this?
In the main loop, my code checks to see what key is pressed through the events, but after that, if a key is no longer pressed, it checks to see if another key is pressed, just in case a user pressed a key while another key was initially pressed.
Here is my code:
import pygame
import sys
from pygame.locals import *
SCREENX = 640
SCREENY = 480
LEFT = 'left'
RIGHT = 'right'
class Character(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
def __init__(self, image_file):

Yes, you can get rid of most of the event handling, you can generalize your main loop, and you can get rid of some fields of your Character class.
See my explanatory notes in the comments:
import pygame
import sys
from pygame.locals import *
SCREENX = 640
SCREENY = 480
class Character(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
def __init__(self, image_file):
pygame.sprite.Sprite.__init__(self)
temp_image = pygame.image.load(image_file)
# only to the flipping of the image once
self.image_r = pygame.transform.scale(temp_image, (100, 100))
self.image_l = pygame.transform.flip(self.image_r, True, False)
self.image = self.image_l
self.rect = self.image.get_rect()
def update(self, pressed_keys):
move = 0
if pressed_keys[K_d]: move += 1
if pressed_keys[K_a]: move -= 1
self.rect.move_ip(move*5, 0)
# check which direction we're facing and set the image
self.image = self.image_l if move < 0 else self.image_r
def main():
pygame.init()
surface = pygame.display.set_mode((SCREENX, SCREENY))

# since we are in a function, we can simply return.
# we don't care here what happens after we quit the main loop
if event.type == QUIT: return pygame.quit()
# get all pressed keys, and just let all sprites
# decide what they want to do with it
keys_pressed = pygame.key.get_pressed()
# you could wrap this information in a more

# See how the game loop does not care what a

sprites.update(keys_pressed)

Why my game in pygame is so slow?

I am making a game in Pygame. Now I have only one rectangle is moving on screen. The direction of rectangle can be changed from keyboard.
main.py :
import pygame
import sys
import player
import room
# Colors
black = (0, 0, 0)
white = (255, 255, 255)
red = (255, 0, 0)
blue = (0, 255, 0)
green = (0, 0, 255)
# Global variables
S_WIDTH = 800
S_HEIGHT = 800
FPS = 60
# player speed
SPEED = 2
# Initialization
pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode([S_WIDTH, S_HEIGHT])
pygame.display.set_caption("Py-Man Alpha")
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
# Game class
class Game(object):
"""
This is main class of game.
All game events will happen here.
"""
Player = player.Player(blue, 50, 50, 0, 0)
def __init__(self, screen, running):
self.screen = screen
self.running = running
self.run()
def run(self):
while self.running:
# Events
for event in pygame.event.get():
# If user hits 'x'
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
self.running = False
# Keyborad events
elif event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
if event.key == pygame.K_UP:
self.Player.direction = 'up'
self.Player.move(SPEED, WALLS)
elif event.key == pygame.K_DOWN:
self.Player.direction = 'down'
self.Player.move(SPEED, WALLS)
elif event.key == pygame.K_LEFT:
self.Player.direction = 'left'
self.Player.move(SPEED, WALLS)
elif event.key == pygame.K_RIGHT:
self.Player.direction = 'right'
self.Player.move(SPEED, WALLS)
elif event.key == pygame.K_p:
self.Player.direction = 'pause'
# Clear screen
self.screen.fill(white)
#Draw
self.Player.move(SPEED, WALLS)
self.Player.draw(self.screen)
for wall in WALLS:
wall.draw()
# Set clock
clock.tick(60)
# Update screen
pygame.display.flip()
# End of game
pygame.quit()
sys.exit()
# Tests
game = Game(screen, True)
player.py:
#imports
import pygame
class Player(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
"""
This class represent the player image
and has the player actions.
"""
direction = 'right'
def __init__(self, color, width, height, x, y):
# Pygame constructor
pygame.sprite.Sprite.__init__(self)
# Init. variables
self.color = color
self.width = width
self.height = height
# Create sprite
self.image = pygame.Surface([width, height])
self.image.fill(self.color)
self.rect = self.image.get_rect()
self.rect.x = x
self.rect.y = y
def draw(self, screen):
# Draw player on the screen
pygame.draw.rect(screen, self.color, [self.rect.x, self.rect.y, self.width, self.height], 0)
def move(self, speed, walls):
# Move the player
if self.direction == 'up':
self.rect.y -= speed
elif self.direction == 'down':
self.rect.y += speed
elif self.direction == 'left':
self.rect.x -= speed
elif self.direction == 'right':
self.rect.x += speed
so, how I can speed up my game? How I can improve speed? Where I wrong?
Thanks!
EDIT:
The refresh of monitor is slow. I press 'up' key , but monitor take command after 2-3 seconds. Why?
You can increase SPEED or clock.tick(60)
But I prefer to increase SPEED.
clock.tick(60) means 60 FPS and you could increase it but many monitors refresh its screen with 60Hz and it means 60 FPS. Bigger FPS means more work for CPU so it is hotter and you can hear CPU fan :)
BTW: Human eye needs at least 24 FPS to see animation.
