FPS, Frames Per Second, is the number of frames shown per unit of time.1 / FPS is the amount of time should pass between each frame.Tick is just a measure of time in PyGame. clock.tick(40) means that for every second at most 40 frames should pass.
On this page you will find what you are looking for http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/time.html#pygame.time.get_ticksYou download ticks once before beginning the countdown (which can be a trigger in the game – the key event, whatever). For example:
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 if your game is rendering at … Read more
You can create a surface with text on it. For this take a look at this short example: This creates a new object on which you can call the render method. This creates a new surface with text already drawn onto it. At the end you can just blit the text surface onto your main screen. Bear … Read more
In PyGame, basic collision detection can be done using pygame.Rect objects. The Rect object offers various methods for detecting collisions between objects. Note that even the collision of a rectangular object with a circular object such as a paddle and a ball in Pong game can be roughly detected by a collision between two rectangular objects, the paddle and the bounding … Read more
Im making a game that requires knowing how to draw a rectangle in python 3.2. I have checked lot of sources but none show exactly how to do it. Thanks!
If you just want the value of self.cookie_count, you can just use The len() function returns the number of items in an object such as an array and does not work on an int object.
You should stop your main loop when you want to exit the game. My suggestions, either of call exit() after pygame.quit() set finish = True and start = False (though due to some indentation issues with your pasted code it’s not possible to tell that this would actually work) You should call pygame.quit() only when you want to terminate your Python session. My suggestion: … Read more
