Python Help

The Doctor · 10-08-2012

I'm creating my first Python game, but I've run across a problem. The game makes you feed the Apple's logo to Steve Jobs' head. The problem is that I have to give the apple to the exact x,y coordinate to win. It's a really small location. I want to have a bigger win area. Maybe a win area as a rectangle around his mouth. Here's the code I have so far for the win. It works so far with my code so I won't show you the whole thing. Currently, the apple follows your mouse's position, so that's what pos is for.

PHP Code:


			
win = 420,300

#skips some lines you don't need to see, including the while loop

    if pos == win:

      print("Win!")

Here's a screenshot of the game so far.

Not familiar with python, but try using coordinates like this :

PHP Code:


			
if mousex in |x1 , x2|:
  if mousey in |y1 , y2|:
    print("Won!");

Sorry I never really used python, but just gathered that from gs so good luck =] tell me if it works btw.

Thanks, I will try something like that right now.

I don't think that works with my code. I will attach the whole thing.

PHP Code:


			
import sys, pygame
pygame.init()
background_color = (0,0,0)
size = width, height = 600,400
pygame.display.set_caption('Apple Head')
screen = pygame.display.set_mode(size)
apple = pygame.image.load("apple.png")
steve = pygame.image.load("steve.png")
pygame.mixer.music.load("eat_sfx.mp3")
win = 420,300
score=0
while 1:
  for e in pygame.event.get():
    if e.type == pygame.QUIT:sys.exit()
    score=str(score)
    screen.fill(background_color)
    pos = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
    screen.blit(steve,(350,175))
    print(pos)
    myfont = pygame.font.SysFont("Comic Sans MS", 25)
    label = myfont.render("Score: " + score, 1, (255,255,255))
    screen.blit(label, (425, 1))
    screen.blit(apple,(pos))
    pygame.display.flip()
    score=int(score)
    if pos == win:
      print("Win!")
      pygame.mixer.music.play(0,0.0)
      score=score+1

Remove win and use it as I told ya, win = 1 pixel in your current script. Which is practically in-accurate correctly, python seems fun :o

With that while statement, you've triggered a death loop. Just thought I'd let you know.

I know. You can exit the while with the red X at the top right corner.

Yea, it is fun. I learned it on Saturday and I've already downloaded new libraries!

Is there a library for Linux? I hate my ****ty pc...
Well yeah, even tho Python is a global language, it's not the best for creating games unless you like to code something from the scratch. I'd say C# / C++ is the best objective to use in these kind of situations, he'll even VB could make it easier :p
(P.S : all languages are familiar if you already know Gs2 since its rather a combination of C# and Java)

I did that once with Live Code. Bad idea.

Im learning Python because compared to C++, Python is like learning addition. Think of C++ as Calculus compared to Python.

Oh yes.

C++ is only good for offline games, you can get much more server triggers script using C sharp.
Did the script work?

What the ****, how can you all be so stupid

I can't be stupid for developing in a language I'm new at.

I believe both support socket.
