After doing homework (a.k.a. research) and trying to directly convert the Java code reference posted on the question into Python, and having a very, very sad experience while trying to have Python/Numpy update a humongous array of pixel colors based on their positions for the rippling of the ripple effect (sorry, my first language isn’t … Read more
No, Pygame is a wrapper for SDL, which is a 2D api. Pygame doesn’t provide any 3D capability and probably never will. 3D libraries for Python include Panda3D and DirectPython, although they are probably quite complex to use, especially the latter.
The tangent of the angle between two points is defined as delta y / delta x That is (y2 – y1)/(x2-x1). This means that math.atan2(dy, dx) give the angle between the two points assuming that you know the base axis that defines the co-ordinates. Your gun is assumed to be the (0, 0) point of … Read more
In PyGame, collision detection is done using pygame.Rect objects. The Rect object offers various methods for detecting collisions between objects. Even the collision between a rectangular and circular object such as a paddle and a ball can be detected by a collision between two rectangular objects, the paddle and the bounding rectangle of the ball. … Read more
You can use PyAudio. An example here on my Linux it works: #!usr/bin/env python #coding=utf-8 import pyaudio import wave #define stream chunk chunk = 1024 #open a wav format music f = wave.open(r”/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Rear_Center.wav”,”rb”) #instantiate PyAudio p = pyaudio.PyAudio() #open stream stream = p.open(format = p.get_format_from_width(f.getsampwidth()), channels = f.getnchannels(), rate = f.getframerate(), output = True) #read … Read more
To become fullscreen at native resolution, do DISPLAYSURF = pygame.display.set_mode((0, 0), pygame.FULLSCREEN) To make the window resizeable, add the pygame.RESIZABLE parameter when seting the mode. You can set the mode of the screen surface multiple times but you might have to do pygame.display.quit() followed by pygame.display.init() You should also check the pygame documentation here http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/display.html#pygame.display.set_mode
Summarizing all answers. This is a security measure to not load non-default C extensions. You can white-list specific extension(s). Open user settings and add the following between {}: “python.linting.pylintArgs”: [ “–extension-pkg-whitelist=extensionname” // comma separated ] You can allow to “unsafe load” all extensions. Open user settings and add the following between {}: “python.linting.pylintArgs”: [ “–unsafe-load-any-extension=y” … Read more
This should do it: image = pygame.Surface([640,480], pygame.SRCALPHA, 32) image = image.convert_alpha() Make sure that the color depth (32) stays explicitly set else this will not work.
You can create a surface with text on it. For this take a look at this short example: pygame.font.init() # you have to call this at the start, # if you want to use this module. my_font = pygame.font.SysFont(‘Comic Sans MS’, 30) This creates a new object on which you can call the render method. … Read more
pygame is richly active, witness the Aug release of 1.9 with nokia s60 support, enhanced py2app/py2exe support, and a bevvy of experimental features (support for Python 3.1, webcams, gfx, …). Books like Hello World and periodic, fun competitions like ludumdare and pyweek bear witness to the vitality of its community and ecosystem. pyglet has a … Read more
