Mask collisions doing funky stuff when i make the camera follow the player

I'm making a racing game with almost realistic cars in pygame. I made the cars succesfully and I want to make the car move a bit slower when it's not touching the drive way. For that, I want to use pygame mask collisions. Instead of using bounding boxes, they use the pixels and count them based on how many pixels of something are touching something. This all works correctly, but when I use the cam.follow_object(player) function, the game behaves very weird and there rise unexplainable bugs.
I included each individual picture and file, but I also included it on github because I know it's annoying to download all images one by one.

See PyGame collision with masks. You need to calculate the offset between the car and the map when you get the overlap area of the masks:
class Level:
# [...]
def update(self, screen):
self.x = 0 - self.cam.scroll[0]
self.y = 0 - self.cam.scroll[1]
# Calculate the overlap between the car mask and the background mask
offset = (self.car.rect.x - self.x, self.car.rect.y - self.y)
overlap = self.bcg_mask.overlap_mask(self.car_mask, offset)
# Fill the screen with the background color
screen.blit(self.road.convert_alpha(), (self.x, self.y))
screen.blit(overlap.to_surface(unsetcolor=(0,0,0,0), setcolor=(255,255,255,255)), (self.x, self.y))
# Print the overlap count to the console
print(overlap.count())

Drawing a line between points in pygame

So I was trying to make something that resembles fireworks. I made a particle class, which will make up the fireworks.
class Particle:
def __init__(self, pos, angle):
self.pos = pos
self.angle = angle
self.color = choice([(217, 103, 51), (238, 95, 30)])
self.radius = uniform(2, 7)
self.pull = 0
self.start = time.time()
def adjust(self):
self.radius -= 0.03
def draw(self):
if self.radius > 0:
pygame.draw.circle(D, self.color, (int(self.pos[0])
, int(self.pos[1])), int(self.radius))
def move(self):
now = time.time()
self.pos[0] += cos(radians(self.angle)) * 2
self.pos[1] += (sin(radians(self.angle)) + self.pull) * 2
if now - self.start > 0.1:
self.pull += 0.25
self.start = now
Then I made a Fireworks class which shoots particles from 0 to 360 degrees.
class FireWorks:
def __init__(self):
self.particles = []
for i in range(360):
self.particles.append(Particle([600, 300], i))
def explode(self):
for i in range(len(self.particles)):
self.particles[i].draw()
self.particles[i].move()
self.particles[i].adjust()
for p in self.particles:
if p.radius < 0:
self.particles.remove(p)
Now I want to draw a line from the position they spawn (600, 300), along the path the particles take. But the thing is particles don't move in a straight line. To make it look a bit more natural, I did this to the y-value: self.pos[1] += (sin(radians(self.angle)) + self.pull) * 2. Value of self.pull is incremented by 0.25 every 0.1 seconds. One thing I tried is to store the position value every time y increases and draw lines between those positions so that a curve forms, but nothing is drawn at all and it causes a lag. Here is the code showing just the bits involved in generating the points and drawing lines between the points.
class Particle:
def __init__(self, pos, angle):
self.points = [] #added list to init to hold the points between which lines need to be drawn
def move(self):
# In move method, every time a value is added to y, we record position at that point
if now - self.start > 0.1:
self.points.append(self.pos)
self.pull += 0.25
def draw(self):
# Iterate through the points in the list and draw a line between them
for i in range(len(self.points)):
for j in range(1, len(self.points)):
pygame.draw.line(D, self.color, (int(self.points[i][0]), int(self.points[i][1]))
, (int(self.points[j][0]), int(self.points[j][1])), int(self.radius))
Here is the complete code for reference.
import pygame
from math import radians, sin, cos
from random import choice, uniform, randint
import time
pygame.init()
WIN = pygame.display
D = WIN.set_mode((1200, 600))

def __init__(self, pos, angle):
self.pos = pos
self.angle = angle
self.color = choice([(217, 103, 51), (238, 95, 30)])
self.radius = uniform(2, 7)
self.pull = 0
self.start = time.time()
self.points = []
def adjust(self):
self.radius -= 0.03
def draw(self):
if self.radius > 0:
pygame.draw.circle(D, self.color, (int(self.pos[0])

for i in range(len(self.points)):
for j in range(1, len(self.points)):
pygame.draw.line(D, self.color, (int(self.points[i][0]), int(self.points[i][1]))
, (int(self.points[j][0]), int(self.points[j][1])), int(self.radius))
def move(self):
now = time.time()
self.pos[0] += cos(radians(self.angle)) * 2
self.pos[1] += (sin(radians(self.angle)) + self.pull) * 2
if now - self.start > 0.1:
self.points.append(self.pos)
self.pull += 0.25
self.start = now
class FireWorks:
def __init__(self):
self.particles = []
for i in range(360):
self.particles.append(Particle([600, 300], i))
def explode(self):
for i in range(len(self.particles)):
self.particles[i].draw()
self.particles[i].move()
self.particles[i].adjust()
for p in self.particles:
if p.radius < 0:
self.particles.remove(p)
f = FireWorks()
D.fill((0, 0, 0))
while True:
pygame.event.get()
D.fill((0, 0, 0))
f.explode()
WIN.flip()

You have to append a copy of the position tuple to the list of positions, rather than an reference to the positions:
self.points.append(self.pos)
self.points.append(self.pos[:])
Note, self.pos refers to a tuple with 2 components. Hence self.points.append(self.pos) appends a new reference to this position to the list, but it doesn't generate a new position.
To improve the performance, I recommend to add integral positions to the list and to draw the line along the path of the particles by pygame.draw.lines():
class Particle:
# [...]
def draw(self):
if self.radius > 0:
pygame.draw.circle(D, self.color, (int(self.pos[0])
, int(self.pos[1])), int(self.radius))
if len(self.points) > 1:
pygame.draw.lines(D, self.color, False, self.points)
def move(self):
now = time.time()
self.pos[0] += cos(radians(self.angle)) * 2
self.pos[1] += (sin(radians(self.angle)) + self.pull) * 2
if now - self.start > 0.1:
x, y = round(self.pos[0]), round(self.pos[1])
self.points.append((x, y))
self.pull += 0.25
self.start = now

How to limit the times you press a key in Python

i am trying to make a game where you can shoot bullets to kill emojis. However, i can't manage to figure out how to stop spamming the space key to shoot bullets.

You could try something like this:

LAST_FIRE = 0

t = time.time()

LAST_FIRE = t

Python Game problems

I'm working on a 2D python game project for my CS class, and I've hit a bump, I don't know what the problem is:
The project is a large part of my grade, and up until now I've had an A+
This project is incredibly frustrating
NEW
ok so i've got everything working so far, except for some reason My protaganist() is stuck at the top left corner of the game screen !
Also, i need ideas on how to create a jump action
If anyone could help I would be incredibly grateful!
I am importing a game engine my teacher made available from his book website, but i it is too long for me to add but i will try to add some of it at the bottom

#goal is to create a game
#must have menu to start game
#menu should have a start and quit button.. start runs gaming operations and quit exits program
#sprites for character and enemies and bullets maybe, use one large image and simply move visibiliy
#this saves memory as 1 image is loaded instead of many

But even if you do this, it seems like you'll still have problems. Namely, this code only ever deducts health from baddy and not baddy1. I'm assuming sprite groups support iteration. If so, you should perform collision detection independently on each enemy.
