You need to update the display. You are actually drawing on a Surface object. If you draw on the Surface associated to the PyGame display, this is not immediately visible in the display. The changes become visibel, when the display is updated with either pygame.display.update() or pygame.display.flip(). See pygame.display.flip(): This will update the contents of … Read more
There’s dev versions available as of now. Get them via pip install pygame==2.0.0.dev6
Your application works well. However, you haven’t implemented an application loop: import pygame from pygame.locals import * pygame.init() win = pygame.display.set_mode((400,400)) pygame.display.set_caption(“My first game”) clock = pygame.time.Clock() run = True while run: # handle events for event in pygame.event.get(): if event.type == pygame.QUIT: run = False # update game objects # […] # clear display … Read more
The resource (image, font, sound, etc.) file path has to be relative to the current working directory. The working directory is possibly different from the directory of the python file. It is not enough to put the files in the same directory or sub directory. You also need to set the working directory. Alternatively, you … Read more
Short answer: Get the rectangle of the original image and set the position. Get the rectangle of the rotated image and set the center position through the center of the original rectangle. Return a tuple of the rotated image and the rectangle: def rot_center(image, angle, x, y): rotated_image = pygame.transform.rotate(image, angle) new_rect = rotated_image.get_rect(center = … Read more
Use pygame.Rect objects and colliderect() to detect the collision between the bounding rectangles of 2 objects or 2 images: rect1 = pygame.Rect(x1, y1, w1, h1) rect2 = pygame.Rect(x2, y2, w2, h2) if rect1.colliderect(rect2): # […] If you have to images (pygame.Surface objects), the bounding rectangle of can be get by get_rect(), where the location of … Read more
You can use pygame.key.get_pressed to do that. example: while running: keys = pygame.key.get_pressed() #checking pressed keys if keys[pygame.K_UP]: y1 -= 1 if keys[pygame.K_DOWN]: y1 += 1
Here (OSX Mavericks) I got able to install this way: brew install sdl sdl_image sdl_mixer sdl_ttf portmidi pip install https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/get/default.tar.gz (“default” branch is on commit e3ae850 right now) Source: https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/issue/139/sdlh-not-found-even-thought-it-exists#comment-3822470 See this other StackOverflow question too: PyGame in a virtualenv on OS X with brew?
I assume your game has a main loop, and all your sprites are in a list called sprites. In your main loop, get all events, and check for the MOUSEBUTTONDOWN or MOUSEBUTTONUP event. while … # your main loop # get all events ev = pygame.event.get() # proceed events for event in ev: # handle … Read more
You can get the events from pygame and then watch out for the KEYDOWN event, instead of looking at the keys returned by get_pressed()(which gives you keys that are currently pressed down, whereas the KEYDOWN event shows you which keys were pressed down on that frame). What’s happening with your code right now is that … Read more
