I am having trouble coding my collision check function for my fps game. How can I write my collision function?

I am stuck on how to write my collision function in my player class. Also should I put my collision check function in my player class or should it be in my bullet class? I honestly don't know. I mean common sense says my bullet should have the collision check function in it, just because I want the top of my bullet checking if it hits a falling cement block sprite, but I don't know.... I would appreciate an answer on how to code my collision function. This would really help me out. My collision function is right below my shoot function in my player class.

I suggest reading How do I detect collision in pygame?. Use pygame.sprite.spritecollide() for the collision detection. Set the dokill argument True. So the bullets gat automatically destroyed.
The following code is base on one of your previous questions: Check collision of bullet sprite hitting cement block sprite
class Car(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
# [...]
def collision(self, debris_group):
for debris in debris_group:
if pygame.sprite.spritecollide(debris, bullet_group, True):
debris.health -= 1
if debris.health <= 0:
debris.kill()

Im stuck on doing an explosion animation for my cement block sprites [duplicate]

This question already exists:
I want to do an explosion animation. I have 4 png files number 0 - 3. In my debris class I loaded them into an image list using a for loop [duplicate]
Closed 1 year ago.
I want to do an explosion animation. I have 4 png files number 0 - 3. In my debris class I loaded them into an image list using a for loop. Then I made an explosion function but when I load my pygame windows and start shooting my cement block sprites, my cement block sprites disappear which is fine but they don't do the exploding animation I want. How can I fix this problem. Would appreciate the help.

How do I set a limit to the range of my bullet?

My game has a sprite which can move left and right and shoot bullets. However, if I shoot out too many bullets (about 50 or so), my game starts lagging a lot. My sprite doesn't move fluently anymore and the game doesn't work well. So I think the problem to this is that all the bullets created are continuing to be run outside my screen. That's why I would like to know how to set a range limit to my bullet. Once past that limit it disappears and out of the program so my game won't lag. However, I am open to other suggestions like if there is a way to make my game no lag without setting a range limit. I have separated my game into 2 .py files a main.py and a Sprite1.py which I import to my main.
Here's my Sprite1.py file:

P.S.: don't mind how my sprite jumps, I just wrote it that way for now. I will be making him actually jump later on with gravity. Thanks beforehand.

You already check if the bullets leave the screen at the top:
if self.rect.bottom <= 0:
self.kill()
You could change it to
if not pygame.display.get_surface().get_rect().colliderect(self.rect):
self.kill()
to kill the sprite if it is not at the screen at all.
But your problem is actually this:
def update(self, dt):
# Add the velocity to the position vector to move the sprite
if self.direction == "right":
#self.vel = pygame.math.Vector2(750, 0)
self.image = pygame.image.load(os.path.join('images','fireball.png'))
self.rect = self.image.get_rect()
self.pos += self.vel * dt
else:
#self.vel = pygame.math.Vector2(-750, 0)
BULLET_IMG = pygame.image.load(os.path.join('images','fireball.png'))
self.image = pygame.transform.flip(BULLET_IMG, True, False)
self.rect = self.image.get_rect()
self.pos -= self.vel * dt
...
Here you're loading the fireball.png image once for every instance of the Bullet class
every frame. You aim for 60 fps, so when there are 50 Bullet instances you try to load the file 300 times per second from your disk.
Instead, you should load the image once at startup.
Here's how it could look like:
class Bullet(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
IMAGE = None
FLIPPED_IMAGE = None
def __init__(self, pos, direction, *sprite_groups):
super().__init__(*sprite_groups)
# cache images
if not Bullet.IMAGE:
Bullet.IMAGE = pygame.image.load(os.path.join('images','fireball.png'))
Bullet.FLIPPED_IMAGE = pygame.transform.flip(Bullet.IMAGE, True, False)
if direction == "right":
self.vel = pygame.math.Vector2(750, 0)
self.image = Bullet.IMAGE
else:
self.vel = pygame.math.Vector2(-750, 0)
self.image = Bullet.FLIPPED_IMAGE
# suspicious... Should use the Sound class instead
# self.sound = pygame.mixer.music.play()
self.pos = pygame.math.Vector2(pos)
self.rect = self.image.get_rect(center=pos)
def update(self, dt):
# Add the velocity to the position vector to move the sprite
self.pos += self.vel * dt
self.rect.center = self.pos # Update the rect pos.
if not pygame.display.get_surface().get_rect().colliderect(self.rect):
self.kill()
Also, you should only use pygame.mixer.music.play() for playing background music (since you can only play one file at once with music.play()). For sound effects, better use the Sound class.

You can check if the bullet is in the screen and remove it if it isn't.
for bullet in bullets[:]:
if not surface.get_rect().collidepoint(bullet.pos):
#remove the bullet
Alternatively, you can remove it after a set amount of time. Under your __init__ method of the bullet class, you can add start = time.time() to record when it spawns.
class Bullet(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
def __init__(self, pos, direction, *sprite_groups):
super().__init__(*sprite_groups)
self.image = pygame.image.load(os.path.join('images','fireball.png'))
self.rect = self.image.get_rect()
self.sound = pygame.mixer.music.play()
self.pos = pygame.math.Vector2(pos)
self.vel = pygame.math.Vector2(750, 0)
self.direction = direction
self.start = time.time()
Then in your main loop make a variable now = time.time() to keep track of the current time. You can determine how long you bullet has been around by taking away spawn time, which is self.start from now
def kill(self, now, lifetime):
if now - self.start > lifetime:
#remove bullet

Use basicFont.render(...) to create surface with text. Then blit that surface.

Pygame - Collisions With Floor/Walls

Hello I am currently making a survival shooter but cannot find any way on how to do my collisions! I am trying to make the player collide with the floors but with no success. Here is an image of the map (I want to collide with moon blocks):

Here is an image of moon blocks with no Background:

I made a very similar game for PyWeek #17 called "Miner".
Here's a screenshot: http://media.pyweek.org/dl/17/powrtoch/miner_ss.png (you can see the similarity!)
You can find the relevant code on GitHub here: https://github.com/marcusmoller/pyweek17-miner/blob/master/miner/engine.py#L202-L220:
def checkCollision(self, sprite, xVel, yVel):
for x in range(len(level.levelStructure)):
for y in range(len(level.levelStructure[x])):
block = level.levelStructure[x][y]
if block is not None:
if pygame.sprite.collide_rect(sprite, block):
if xVel < 0:
sprite.rect.x = block.rect.x + block.rect.w
if xVel > 0:
sprite.rect.x = block.rect.x - sprite.rect.w
if yVel < 0:
sprite.rect.y = block.rect.y + block.rect.h
if yVel > 0 and not sprite.onGround:
sprite.onGround = True
sprite.rect.y = block.rect.y - sprite.rect.h

You could do something like this using collide_rect:
# See if the Sprite block collides with anything in the Ground block_list
for block in groundBlocks:
if(collide_rect(player, block)):
# do not fall
else:
# fall
where all Block you can walk on are in the groundBlocks list.
