I'm making a game in kivy where when you press on the soccer ball it moves. I want the ball to move only when I press exactly on the ball, if I press anywhere else it shouldn't move. Currently, the ball moves if I press anywhere close to the ball which Is not what I want. Is there anything I can do so that it only moves when I press exactly on the ball? Below is my code!
main.py
class Ball(Image):
velocity = NumericProperty(0)
def on_touch_down(self, touch):
if self.collide_point(*touch.pos):
self.source = "icons/ball.png"
self.velocity = 275
return super().on_touch_down(touch)
def on_touch_up(self, touch):
if self.collide_point(*touch.pos):
self.source = "icons/ball.png"
return super().on_touch_up(touch)
class MainApp(App):
GRAVITY = 300
def move_ball(self, time_passed):
ball = self.root.ids.game_screen.ids.ball
ball.y = ball.y + ball.velocity * time_passed
ball.velocity = ball.velocity - self.GRAVITY * time_passed
def start_game(self):
Clock.schedule_interval(self.move_ball, 1/60.)

ball is a circle (or rather disk) which has some radius - if you check distance between ball center and mouse position and it is smaller then radius then you clicked inside this circle or disk.
More precisely using the Pythagorean formula a**2 + b**2 == c**2
or rather disk's definition : x**2 + y**2 <= r**2
(ball.centerx - touch.pos.x)**2 + (ball.centery - touch.pos.y)**2 <= radius**2
Kivy has class Vector to make it simpler - but I can't test it.
Vector(ball.center).distance(touch.pos) <= radius
And you should use it instead of collide_point()
class Ball(Image):
velocity = NumericProperty(0)
radius = 50 # you have to get it manually from image
def on_touch_down(self, touch):
if Vector(self.center).distance(touch.pos) <= radius:
self.source = "icons/ball.png"
self.velocity = 275
return super().on_touch_down(touch)
def on_touch_up(self, touch):
if Vector(self.center).distance(touch.pos) <= radius:
self.source = "icons/ball.png"
return super().on_touch_up(touch)
I'm not sure but maybe it even keeps ball position as Vector() and you could use directly
ball.center.distance(touch.pos) <= radius
I am currently building a game with kivy. Everything works fine except the play again button.
So here is what I want for my play again. The score should be set to 0 and everything has to freeze and a play again button should appear. When I click on it the enemies should respawn to the top.
I tried to t´do it with Clock.schedule_interval and Clock.unschedule_interval. But that only works for the resume button. When I try it with enemies. Everything freezes but then when I click play again. Nothing happens. And the score also doesn't go to 0.
Here is my code:
Main GameClass: The play again button appers after stop game. And then when I click on it it does not unfreeze
class PongGame(Widget):
ball = ObjectProperty(None)
ship = ObjectProperty(None)

Enemy Class. So here I cant call the stopgame function
class Enemy(Widget):

def collision(self, ball):

Some of my kv code
<PongGame>:
ball: pong_ball
ship: space_ship
start_button: start_button
resume_button:resume_button
play_again:play_again
canvas.before:
Rectangle:
pos: self.pos

Label:
font_size: 40
x:root.width/ 1/4 +70
y:root.height -350
text: 'Your score :'
Label:
font_size: 40
x:root.width/ 1/2
y:root.height -350
text: root.label_text
Button:
id:play_again
font_size:40
size:200,100
x:10000
y:10000
text:'Play Again'
on_release:
self.parent.play_again_game()
PongBall:
id: pong_ball
x: root.width /1.4
y: root.height / root.width
SpaceShip:
id: space_ship
x: root.width / 2.25
y: root.height / root.width +60
So I think my main problem is ,that I cant refer to the method in my game class. And my score is not going to 0. I think I just cant write self.count = 0
I am working on one gaming app in which I need the ball widget to get deflected at the angle of 90 to the direction of movement by the rectangle widget after getting collided. In the below code the ball is doing what I said above but it is getting deflected some distance before colliding the rectangle. It would due to the functioning of collide_widget() in the code, Please help to solve this issue!

Because the collide_widget() method compares pos and size of the involved Widgets, the canvas drawing instructions have no effect on collision detection. So, I think you need to define your own method to detect a collision. Here is my attempt at such a method:
def collide_ball(self, ball):
# get vector from center of rect to the ball
to_ball = Vector((ball.x - self.rotate_origin_x), (ball.y - self.rotate_origin_y))
# get x and y coordinates of above vector in rotated system
x = to_ball.dot(self.rot_x_dir) # along rect width
y = to_ball.dot(self.rot_y_dir) # along rect height
# test for collision
if x < -self.rect_width/2 - ball.size[0]/2:
return False
if x > self.rect_width/2 + ball.size[0]/2:
return False
if y < -self.rect_height/2 - ball.size[1]/2:
return False
if y > self.rect_height/2 + ball.size[1]/2:
return False
return True
This method should appear in each Object.
This requires the definition of self.rot_x_dir and self.rot__dir, which represent a coordinate system that is rotated with the Object1 or Object2 rectangle. These must be redefined wherever the rotation angle for the Object is changed. For example, in the Object1.__init__():
self.angle = 135
self.rot_x_dir = Vector(1,0).rotate(self.angle)
self.rot_y_dir = Vector(0,1).rotate(self.angle)
same code goes in the Object2.__init__(). Similarly, in the rotate() method:
def rotate(self):
self.canvas.clear()
self.angle += 90
if (self.angle > 315):
self.angle = 225
self.rot_x_dir = Vector(1,0).rotate(self.angle)
self.rot_y_dir = Vector(0,1).rotate(self.angle)
with self.canvas:
PushMatrix()
self.rot = Rotate(origin=self.rotate_origin, angle=self.angle)
Color(rgb=(0, 255, 100))
Rectangle(pos=self.rect_pos, size=self.rect_size)
PopMatrix()
Then, wherever you now use
self.collide_widget(ball)
replace it with:
self.collide_ball(ball)
Also, in your 'kv' adjust the drawing of the PongBall:
<PongBall>:
size: 50, 50
canvas:
Color:
rgba: 0,0,1,1
Ellipse:
# adjust Ellipse position to center it
pos: self.x - self.size[0]/2, self.y - self.size[1]/2
size: self.size
If your run it once the ball is about to stop it starts skipping up and down a little bit and disappears through the floor.
So i was following the kivy tutorial for the pong game and half way through i thought why not make the ball have gravity...i kind of figured that out though I don't know wether it's good code or not but that's not my problem. I already compared it to some other code basically doing the same and didn't find any differences. Could somebody tell me what i have done wrong? (Sorry i had to paste all my code in here but i don't know where the problem is...)

I want the ball to slow down until it lays on the ground and doesn't move.
this is just a common problem with floats ...
just in your update speed function do something like
if velocity <= 1e-6: # some really small number
velocity = 0.0
its also probably a good idea to fix your y position in your move function
if (self.ball.y < 0) or (self.ball.top > self.height):
self.ball.y = 0.1
self.ball.velocity_y *= -1

<PongGame>:
ball: pong_ball
PongBall:
id: pong_ball
center: self.parent.center
This code make the widget starts on center of the screen, i'm trying to make start on bottom, without success
Thanks for any tips!
The problem in your case is that the PongBall's initial position is the center of the PongGame:
<PongGame>:
ball: pong_ball
PongBall:
id: pong_ball
center: self.parent.center # <---
What you must do is that when you create the initial position is established. Another error is that you are launching the game before the window is displayed, instead of launching it in build() you must do it in on_start():
*.py
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.widget import Widget
from kivy.properties import NumericProperty, ReferenceListProperty,\
ObjectProperty
from kivy.vector import Vector
from kivy.clock import Clock
class PongBall(Widget):
velocity_x = NumericProperty(0)
velocity_y = NumericProperty(0)
velocity = ReferenceListProperty(velocity_x, velocity_y)
def move(self):
self.pos = Vector(*self.velocity) + self.pos
class PongGame(Widget):
ball = ObjectProperty(None)
def serve_ball(self, vel=(0, 4)):
self.ball.center = self.initial_pos
self.ball.velocity = vel
def update(self, dt):
self.ball.move()
# bounce ball off bottom or top or left or right
if self.ball.y < self.y or self.ball.top > self.top:
self.ball.velocity_y = -2
self.ball.velocity_x = -4
# bounce ball off
if self.ball.x < 0:
self.ball.velocity_x = 4
self.ball.velocity_y = 0
if self.ball.x + self.ball.width > self.right:
self.ball.velocity_x *= -1
self.ball.velocity_y = 4
class PongApp(App):
def build(self):
game = PongGame()
return game
def on_start(self):
self.root.serve_ball()
Clock.schedule_interval(self.root.update, 1.0 / 60.0)
if __name__ == '__main__':
PongApp().run()
*.kv
<PongBall>:
size: 50, 50
canvas:
Ellipse:
pos: self.pos
size: self.size
<PongGame>:
ball: pong_ball
initial_pos: [self.center_x , pong_ball.height/2]
PongBall:
id: pong_ball
In build() an incorrect size of the widgets is obtained since these are updated instants before being launched, it is convenient to use on_start() to obtain the size on which the initial position depends.
