issues with checking if my images collided in pygame [duplicate]

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)?
(1 answer)
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.

Your code is quite large, but to pause the game is very general task:
Add a pause state.
Toggle the pause state on an certain event, e.g. when the p key is pressed.
Skip the game processing if pauseis stated.
e,.g.
pause = False # pause state
while True:
ticks = pygame.time.get_ticks()

pygame.quit()

How to rotate pymunk joints at will?

I'm trying to create a walking spider like this:
I considered using a SimpleMotor at the pink and red joints and control them using the rate function. But when I tried, I get an error that the function is not callable.
self.motorJoint1.rate(0.0) TypeError: 'float' object is not callable
I don't see any other functions in the pymunk API that allow controlling the joints at will. Is there really no function or am I missing something?
Basically in the run loop I want to specify rotations to the joints at certain points of time, to not just make the spider walk, but to eventually be able to use Neural Networks to allow it to experiment with various configurations of leg positions and figure out which ones can make it walk:
angle1 = 30
angle2 = 10
redJoint1.rotate(angle1)
pinkJoint2.rotate(angle2)
if angle1 < 50:
angle1 = angle1 + 1
Is it possible at all to achieve such a level of control over joints using Pymunk? To be able to stop moving the legs (without needing to put the body to sleep), or to rotate the leg joints to whatever angle the spider 'wishes to' at any point in time?
Sample code would be a great help.

From the servo example I took a hint and implemented this basic leg:

It can be controlled with the up, left, right and down arrow keys after first pressing the s key to start the simulation. I've also made sure the variables are created properly linked with each other and named well.
The part about making the joints move to a desired angle is yet to be implemented, but perhaps that could be calculated by taking the x,y positions of the ends of the joints and using a formula to calculate the angle and then move the motor until it reaches a desired angle.
If there's a better way, do let me know by posting an answer or editing this one.

How do I find the distance from the goal node named target, when I have the below mentioned start node named seeker?

I am trying to find the distance from the start node named seeker to the goal node named target. I have already done most of the implementation of the algorithm and each of the nodes have a coordinate or box on a grid. My python code is lacking and I cannot find the coordinates and distance.
I have tried using the vector in the math class which gave me logical errors.
I also tried sending the actual objects hoping I could use those to reference the coordinates as I'd done in the code but got a TypeError: expected sequence object with len >= 0 or a single integer.

the expected results is to return the correct path to the target object from the seeker object after you press the keyboard character a. Note that with a left click, a wall can be constructed to add a hindrance to the seeking of the goal.

Scrolling in 2D game?

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.

for i in range(len(blockTypeList)):
if blockTypeList[i] == "solid":
screen.blit(wallblock, (blockListDisp[i].x, blockListDisp[i].y)) #blit the wall-block graphics
pygame.draw.rect(screen, (0, 0, 0), player)
pygame.display.update()
mainClock.tick(FPS)

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.
