popping a particular element from a list in pygame [duplicate] - python

This question already has answers here:
How to remove items from a list while iterating?
(25 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I recently started making Atari Breakout in Pygame. I encountered a problem that I don't know how to fix. Whenever I run my code, and the ball comes in contact with the block, the block that's colliding with it, doesn't disappear as it should, but the last block from the list. (I made a list of 21 pygame.Surfaces and iterate over it and blit every single one). Obviously, if the ball touches the last block from the list, the correct one disappears. Please can you help me?
This is my code:
import pygame, random, math
pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((800,600))
pygame.display.set_caption('Atari Breakout')
player = pygame.image.load('player copy.png')
ball = pygame.image.load('poland.png')
blocks = [pygame.image.load('block.png') for i in range(21)]
x, y = 25,25
blockx, blocky = [], []
for i in range(21):
if i % 7 == 0:
y += 52
x = 25
blockx.append(x)
blocky.append(y)
x += (50 + 64)
ballx, bally = 400, 300
balldx, balldy = 4,4
score = 0
score_font = pygame.font.Font('freesansbold.ttf', 32)
def show_score():
score_text = score_font.render('Score : {}'.format(score), True, (255,255,255))
screen.blit(score_text, (0,0))
def isCollision(x1,y1,x2,y2):
ballRect = ball.get_rect(topleft = (x1, y1))
playerRect = player.get_rect(topleft = (x2, y2))
return ballRect.colliderect(playerRect)
def isCollision2(x1,y1,x2,y2):
ballRect = ball.get_rect(topleft = (x1,y1))
blockRect = blocks[i].get_rect(topleft = (x2,y2))
return ballRect.colliderect(blockRect)
def blit_blocks():
for i in range(len(blocks)):
screen.blit(blocks[i], (blockx[i], blocky[i]))
running = True
while running:
if score >= 21:
running = False
screen.fill((0,0,0))
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
running = False
pos = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
for i, block in enumerate(blocks):
if isCollision2(ballx, bally, blockx[i], blocky[i]):
balldy *= -1
score += 1
blocks.pop(i)
if isCollision(ballx, bally, pos[0], 525):
balldy *= -1
if bally <= 0:
balldy *= -1
if bally >= 570:
running = False
if ballx <= 0:
balldx *= -1
if ballx >= 770:
balldx *= -1
ballx += balldx
bally += balldy
screen.blit(player, (pos[0], 525))
screen.blit(ball, (ballx,bally))
blit_blocks()
show_score()
pygame.display.update()

What you actually do ist manipulate a list (by pop) while you iterate it. I recommend to travers a copy of the list (blocks[:]) and to manipulate the original list. e.g:
i = 0
for x, y, block in zip(blockx[:], blocky[:], blocks[:]):
if isCollision2(ballx, bally, x, y):
blockx.pop(i)
blocky.pop(i)
blocks.pop(i)
balldy *= -1
score += 1
else:
i += 1
Anyway, I recommend to create a class Block:
class Block():
def __init__(self, image, x, y)
self.image = image
self.x = x
self.y = y
image = pygame.image.load('block.png')
x, y = 25,25
blocks = []
for i in range(21)
if i % 7 == 0:
y += 52
x = 25
blocks.append(Block(image, x, y))
x += (50 + 64)
i = 0
for block in block[:]:
if isCollision2(ballx, bally, block.x, block.y):
balldy *= -1
score += 1
block.pop(i)
else:
i += 1

it is a bad practice to pop from a list while you are iterating over this will cause unexpected behaviour, here:
for i, block in enumerate(blocks):
if isCollision2(ballx, bally, blockx[i], blocky[i]):
balldy *= -1
score += 1
blocks.pop(i)
you can use:
new_blocks = []
for i, block in enumerate(blocks):
if isCollision2(ballx, bally, blockx[i], blocky[i]):
balldy *= -1
score += 1
else:
new_blocks.append(block)
blocks = new_blocks

I am trying to delete the dots outside of the safe zone but so far the only solution I have found is to not draw them, which is not what I want since using this method they still exist. Is there anyway to delete the specific dots outside of this region? Is there also a way to create a duplicate of an instance?
import pygame
import sys
import random
pygame.init()
win = pygame.display.set_mode((800,600))
pygame.display.set_caption("Simulation")
class Dot:
def __init__(self):
self.spawnX = random.randrange(0, 800)
self.spawnY = random.randrange(0, 600)
self.r = random.randrange(0, 256)
self.g = random.randrange(0, 256)
self.b = random.randrange(0, 256)
self.vel = [None] * 0
self.spd = random.random()
self.vel.append(self.spd)
self.vel.append(self.spd * -1)
self.fertility = random.randrange(0, 3)
def safeZone():
#Draws a top rectangle
pygame.draw.rect(win, (50,205,50), (0, 0, 800, 100))
def drawdot(dot):
width = 10
height = 10
pygame.draw.rect(win, (dot.r, dot.g, dot.b), (dot.spawnX, dot.spawnY, width, height))
def population(dots):
for dot in dots:
dot.spawnX += random.choice(dot.vel)
dot.spawnY += random.choice(dot.vel)
if dot.spawnX >= 800:
dot.spawnX -= 5
if dot.spawnY >= 600:
dot.spawnY -= 5
if dot.spawnX <= 0:
dot.spawnX += 5
if dot.spawnY <= 0:
dot.spawnY += 5
if dot.spawnX >= 0 and dot.spawnY >= 100:
pass #Here I want to delete the objects outside of this region
drawdot(dot)
alldots = [Dot() for _ in range(1000)]
run = True
while run:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
run = False
win.fill((255, 255, 255))
safeZone() # Always draw dots after safe zone
population(alldots)
pygame.display.update()

"not draw them" just means removing them from the container they are in. Use pygame.Rect.colliderect or pygame.Rect.contains to test whether a dot object is in the safe zone. Remove the dots form the list alldots that are not in the safe zone (see How to remove items from a list while iterating?):
def population(dots):
safe_zone_rect = pygame.Rect(0, 0, 800, 100)
for dot in dots:
dot.spawnX += random.choice(dot.vel)
dot.spawnY += random.choice(dot.vel)
if dot.spawnX >= 800:
dot.spawnX -= 5
if dot.spawnY >= 600:
dot.spawnY -= 5
if dot.spawnX <= 0:
dot.spawnX += 5
if dot.spawnY <= 0:
dot.spawnY += 5
if dot.spawnX >= 0 and dot.spawnY >= 100:
pass #Here I want to delete the objects outside of this region
dot_rect = pygame.Rect(dot.spawnX, dot.spawnY, 10, 10)
# if not safe_zone_rect.colliderect(dot_rect):
if not safe_zone_rect.contains(dot_rect):
dots.remove(dot)
drawdot(dot)
pygame.Rect.colliderect tests whether 2 rectangles intersect. pygame.Rect.contains
tests whether a rectangle lies completely within another rectangle.

This question already has an answer here:
Why is my collision test always returning 'true' and why is the position of the rectangle of the image always wrong (0, 0)?

Closed 1 year ago.
So I'm trying to check im my bird images are touching my could images and if they are to print print('Collided1!').
My Issue is that print('Collided1!') goes off no matter what and is not checking whether the images are touching. colliderect was the solution I found online but I don't seem to know how it works because this is not working.
Do You Know how to fix this? and check whether my images are touching or not?

bird1Surface, bird2Surface and cloudSurface always have an upper left of (0,0), so they are always on top of each other.. You don't change the rectangles when you move the birds. You need to track the bird x,y and the cloud x,y, and construct new rectangles with the current x,y and the known width and height before you do the collision check.

I'm currently in the process of creating a Snake game and I want to create a food generator that generates an apple every 10 seconds based on my in-game timer. The timer counts down from 60 to 0(when the game ends) and I want an new apple to generate every 10 seconds, keeping the old one even if it hasn't been eaten. I don't know how to approach this and could use some help. Here is my full program.
Edit: this is a beginner Computer Science school project so the more basic the better.

You either
A) use pygame.time.set_timer to call a function every 10 seconds to spawn food, and every 60 seconds to end the round.
or
B) compare get_ticks()
def new_round():
last_apple = pygame.time.get_ticks() + 10*1000
while true:
now = pygame.time.get_ticks()
if now - last_apple >= 1000:

So I want it to count the score every time the snake eats a candy.
I haven't tried much, but I tried to find existing codes and adding them to mine but that just broke the game. I also tried to make my own score board by watching a tutorial, but I don't know where the code should go like at the beginning or end.

I just want like a scoreboard in any of the corners counting the score.

Use pygame.freetype to render text. e,g, crated a pygame.freetype.SysFont object:
import pygame.freetype
pygame.init()
font = pygame.freetype.SysFont('Times New Roman', 30)
The score is the number of body parts. Use str to convert a number to a text and .render() to render a text to a pygame.Surface object:
score = len(s.body)
text_surf, text_rect = font.render(str(score), (255, 0, 0), size=30)
Define a margin to the border of the window, calculate the text position (e.g. bottom right) and .blit the text to the window surfrace:
margin = 10
text_pos = (width - text_rect.width - margin, width - text_rect.height - margin)
surface.blit(text_surf, text_pos)
Function redrawGrid:
def redrawGrid(surface):
global height, width, s, snack
surface.fill((255,255,255))
s.draw(surface)
snack.draw(surface)
drawingAGrid(width, height, surface)
score = len(s.body)
text_surf, text_rect = font.render(str(score), (255, 0, 0), size=30)
margin = 10
text_pos = (width - text_rect.width - margin, width - text_rect.height - margin)
surface.blit(text_surf, text_pos)
pygame.display.update()

I'm trying to add a scrolling "camera" that follows the player when it moves but can't figure out how to do this. I know that you can just move the level in the opposite direction when you press one of the movement keys but I'd rather not do that as I plan on adding enemies later on and don't want have to keep update their coordinates as the player moves.
I've added my code with a sample level below.

The trick is to keep track of camera coordinates and use these as an offset in your rendering code. It looks like you're doing you're rendering right at the end of the code you've posted, drawing each block with coord x,y to pixel x,y on the screen.
As you say, shifting the level around isn't great. Instead, have your key inputs (or other camera moving device) change cameraX and cameraY variables, and then add (or subtract, depending which direction you want to go) these values from the block x and y values to change which pixels map to which blocks. I.e. change your rendering to:
screen.blit(wallblock, (blockListDisp[i].x + cameraX, blockListDisp[i].y + cameraY))
This means if your camera moves to (10, 20) then you map your block at (5, 5) to (15, 25) on the screen, shifting your whole level across while your underlying model of the level stays the same. Make sense?
You can also take this slightly further; if your camera is only being moved to follow your character you can make swap cameraX and cameraY in the above for some function of the character position, and have the whole thing just managed directly there.
