Countdown timer in Pygame

I am new to pygame programming and I am making a game with the help of tutorials. I finished the tutorial and want to add a new feature to my game.
Game Overview
I have created a space invader game where there are enemies moving on the x-axis and slowly coming down. In bottom there is a space ship which can move on the x axis and can shoot bullets to destroy or kill the enemies. The enemies respawn after being killed and if an enemy reaches the bottom, it is game over

New Feature
I want to add a feature that when a laser ( I have a picture) hits the spaceship, shot by the enemies, the spaceship can't move for 10 seconds. I have already tryed other stack overflow questions but they don't match my needs.
If you only have one cooldown to manage, a simple and clean way to do it is by using a custom event :
# Custom event
COOLDOWN_END = pg.USEREVENT
When you detect a collision you simply start a timer :
# Custom event
pg.time.set_timer(COOLDOWN_END, 1000, 1)
The first parameter is the event you are going to send to your event handler, the 2nd is the time in ms (so 1 sec here) and last one is the number of iteration. Here you just want to send the event once, so put 1.
The last step is to do catch this event in your handler and do what you want with it :
for evt in pg.event.get():
if evt.type == pg.QUIT:
exit()
if evt.type == COOLDOWN_END:
print(evt)
# Your logic goes here
Let's put everything together :
(Here, I simply used this technique to have a COOLDOWN_END event 1 sec after I clicked)
# General imports
import pygame as pg
import sys
# Init
pg.init()
# Vars
screen = pg.display.set_mode((500, 500))
pg.display.set_caption("name")
# Clock
FPS = 60
clock = pg.time.Clock()
# Custom event
COOLDOWN_END = pg.USEREVENT
# Main functions
def update():
pass
def draw():
# Clear screen
screen.fill((0,0,0))
def handle_evt():
for evt in pg.event.get():
if evt.type == pg.QUIT:
exit()
if evt.type == pg.KEYDOWN:
if evt.key == pg.K_ESCAPE:
exit()
if evt.type == pg.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
if evt.button == 1:
on_click()
if evt.type == COOLDOWN_END:
print(evt)
def on_click():
pg.time.set_timer(COOLDOWN_END, 1000, 1)
def exit():
pg.quit()
sys.exit()
# Main loop
if __name__ == '__main__':
while True:
handle_evt()
update()
draw()
clock.tick(FPS)
pg.display.flip()
You may use custom event with from pygame.locals import USEREVENT.
An alternative is to keep track of time of when you got hit using pygame.time.get_ticks() + some stun cooldown system, and applying only to the portion of the code involved with player movement.
stun_duration = 10000 # milliseconds
damaged_timestamp = -stun_duration # allows to get stunned starting from pygame.init() call
running = True
while running:
for event in pygame.event.get():
# preceding code
# check if beyond stun cooldown
if pygame.time.get_ticks() - damaged_timestamp > stun_duration:
damaged_timestamp = pygame.time.get_ticks()
# Keystroke check (right, left)
if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
if event.key == pygame.K_LEFT:
playerX_change = -0.3
if event.key == pygame.K_RIGHT:
playerX_change = 0.3
if event.key == pygame.K_SPACE:
# Checking whether bullet is there on screen, if not making it ready, if yes disabling spacebar
if bullet_state == "Ready":
# Get the current X cordinate of spaceship
bulletX = playerX
fire_bullet(bulletX, bulletY)
bullet_sound = mixer.Sound('laser.wav')
bullet_sound.play()
if event.type == pygame.KEYUP:
if event.key == pygame.K_LEFT or event.key == pygame.K_RIGHT:
playerX_change = 0
# Changing X coordinates to move spaceship
playerX += playerX_change
if playerX <= 6:
playerX = 6
elif playerX >= 730:
playerX = 730
# proceeding code

I'm not sure what to try, as what I googled used different ways of running the game. New to this, so genuinely confused.
I did some research to see if I could fix my problem on my own but it has been fruitless so far. I've checked to see if I ran the .display command too much but I haven't, the program will run without error but the screen appears black except when I close the window out, you can catch a glimpse of what it is supposed to display. Any insight into what is wrong? Help is greatly appreciated!

All you have to do is indent the last bit of code (the 11 lines under the comment Bullet Movement) one level in. Right now, it's not under the while loop, which explains why the screen is black and why it only appears after you click the close button (which exits the loop and executes the drawing code). Hope this helps!
Pygame is perfectly installed, everything else is working fine spaceship movement and enemy movement but i am not able to see the bullet which i have drawn from inside the fire_bullet function, I have tried drawing it from outside the function and that does seem to work .

Also all the assets are fine and dowloaded correctly so idk why is it still not showing the bullet drawn from inside the function
Your bullet is so fast that you can barely see it. You have to limit the frames per second. Use pygame.time.Clock to control the frames per second and thus the game speed.
The method tick() of a pygame.time.Clock object, delays the game in that way, that every iteration of the loop consumes the same period of time. See pygame.time.Clock.tick():
This method should be called once per frame.
e.g.:
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
#Game loop
while run:
clock.tick(60)

I am currently attempting to programm a small game. An enemy is supposed to chase the player, the actual chasing is not implemented yet. I still need to figure out how to do that, but that's not the question.
I have made it so that the player returns to the start point once they collide with the enemy. In addition to that, a text 'Game over' is supposed to appear. The function for that is called at the end of the game loop and while the text appeared briefly(it actually only appeared once, I have tried it multiple times), it does not stay. I was planing on making it appear and then disappear after a few seconds so that the player can play again, but I'm not sure why it disappears instantly.
If this is the wrong place to post this, please tell me, I will delete this post. This is my code, would be amazing if somebody could help me out:

The collision only occurs for a moment and the game over text is only shown when the object collides. If you want to persist the text, set a gameover variable when the collision is detected and display the text based on the state of the variable:
gameover = False
running = True
while running:
# [...]
collision = isCollision(playerX, playerY, enemyX, enemyY)
if collision:
playerY = 480
gameover = True
player(playerX, playerY)
enemy(enemyX, enemyY)
if gameover:
game_over_text()
pygame.display.update()
Note, collision is set in every frame depending on the position of the objects. However, gameover is set once when a collision occurs and then maintains its state.

Im following a tutorial to code a game, as far as i can tell, my code is the same as the one in the tutorial, ive been working at this for about 45mins, and checked over the code twice, but here is the code
import pygame
import math
import random
# Intialize the Pygame
pygame.init()
# Create the Screen
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((800, 600))
# Background
background = pygame.image.load("space.png")
# Title and Icon
pygame.display.set_caption("Space Invaders")
icon = pygame.image.load("alien.png")
pygame.display.set_icon(icon)
# Player
playerImg = pygame.image.load("player.png")
playerX = 370
playerY = 480
playerX_change = 0
# Enemy
enemyImg = []
enemyX = []
enemyY = []
enemyX_change = []
enemyY_change = []
num_of_enemies = 6
for i in range(num_of_enemies):
enemyImg.append(pygame.image.load("enemy.png"))
enemyX.append(random.randint(0, 736))
enemyY.append(random.randint(50, 150))
enemyX_change.append(4)
enemyY_change.append(30)
# Bullet
# Ready - You can't see the bullet on the screen
# Fire_ The bullet is currently moving
bulletImg = pygame.image.load("bullet.png")

Here is the error im getting:
line 70
if distance < 27:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Process finished with exit code 1
Im new to python, so it might be something stupid that i forgot, but i cannot figure this out.
You miss a close bracket:
distance = math.sqrt(math.pow(enemyX - bulletX, 2) + (math.pow(enemyY - bulletY, 2)))
