Create an inventory for a python game

So I try to create an inventory for the python game Dodger. In the inventory I want to be able to select different players to play the game. But when I run the game, only the option images/player.png is chosen. How can I fix that? thanks
This is what I have tried so far:
//Inventory.py
import pygame
import pygwidgets
import pyghelpers
import random
from Player import Player
import Constants
from Constants import *
class Inventory(pyghelpers.Scene):
def __init__(self, window):
self.window = window
self.player = Player(window)
self.player0 = pygwidgets.CustomButton(self.window, (30, 250), 'images/player_inv.png')
self.player1 = pygwidgets.CustomButton(self.window, (280, 250), 'images/player1_inv.jpg')
self.player2 = pygwidgets.CustomButton(self.window, (30, 450), 'images/char1_inv.png')
self.inventory = []
self.image = pygwidgets.Image(self.window,(0, 0),'images/inventory.png')
self.quitButton = pygwidgets.CustomButton(self.window,
(30, 650),
up='images/quitNormal.png',
down='images/quitDown.png',
over='images/quitOver.png',
disabled='images/quitDisabled.png')
self.backButton = pygwidgets.CustomButton(self.window,
(240, 650),
up='images/backNormal.png',
down='images/backDown.png',
over='images/backOver.png',
disabled='images/backDisabled.png')
def getSceneKey(self):
return SCENE_INVENTORY
def enter(self, data):
pass
def handleInputs(self, eventsList, keyPressedList):
for event in eventsList:
if self.quitButton.handleEvent(event):
self.quit()
elif self.backButton.handleEvent(event):
self.goToScene(Constants.SCENE_PLAY)
if self.player0.handleEvent(event):
self.player.imagelink = 'images/player.png'
self.goToScene(Constants.SCENE_PLAY)
elif self.player1.handleEvent(event):
self.player.imagelink = 'images/player1.jpg'
self.goToScene(Constants.SCENE_PLAY)
elif self.player2.handleEvent(event):
self.player.imagelink = 'images/player2.png'
self.goToScene(Constants.SCENE_PLAY)
def update(self):
pass
def draw(self):
self.image.draw()
self.quitButton.draw()
self.backButton.draw()
self.player0.draw()
self.player1.draw()
self.player2.draw()
//Player.py
import pygame
import pygwidgets
from Constants import *
class Player():
def __init__(self, window):
self.window = window
self.imagelink = 'images/player.png'
self.image = pygwidgets.Image(window,
(-100, -100), self.imagelink)
playerRect = self.image.getRect()
self.maxX = WINDOW_WIDTH - playerRect.width
self.maxY = GAME_HEIGHT - playerRect.height
# Every frame, move the Player icon to the mouse position
# Limits the x- and y-coordinates to the game area of the window
def update(self, x, y):
if x < 0:
x = 0
elif x > self.maxX:
x = self.maxX
if y < 0:
y = 0
elif y > self.maxY:
y = self.maxY
self.image.setLoc((x, y))
return self.image.getRect()
def draw(self):
self.image.draw()
enter image description here

With your code Player.imagelink = 'images/player1.jpg', you are modifying a class attribute and not a class instance attribute. You can fix this by changing self.player.imagelink = 'images/player1.jpg'. You will need to make similar changes for each line that includes Player.imagelink = ...

Why is my pyglet program slow while rendering 128 particles?

Why is my program slow while rendering 128 particles? I think that's not enough to get less than 30 fps.
All I do is rendering 128 particles and giving them some basic gravitation
on_draw function

glClearColor(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0)
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT)

for particle in self.particles:
particle.draw()
if particle.is_dead:
self.particles.remove(particle)

angle = math.radians(float(i) / self.numpoints * 360.0)

I'm not overly happy about using GL_TRIANGLE_FAN because it's caused a lot of odd shapes when using batched rendering. So consider moving over to GL_TRIANGLES instead and simply add all the points to the object rather than leaning on GL to close the shape for you.
That way, you can easily move over to doing batched rendering:

Bare in mind, on my nVidia 1070 I managed to get roughly 35fps out of this code, which isn't mind blowing. But it is 1000 objects * sides, give or take.
What I've changed is essentially this:
self.batch.add(int(len(points)/2), pyglet.gl.GL_TRIANGLES, self.group, ('v2i/stream', points), ('c3B', colors))
and in your draw loop, you'll do:
self.batch.draw()
Instead of calling Particle.draw() for each particle object.
What this does is that it'll send all the objects to the graphics card in one gigantic batch rather than having to tell the graphics card what to render object by object.
As #thokra pointed out, your code is more CPU intensive than GPU intensive.
Hopefully this fixes it or gives you a few pointers.
Most of this code is taking from a LAN project I did with a good friend of mine a while back:
https://github.com/Torxed/pyslither/blob/master/main.py
Because I didn't have all your code, mainly the main loop. I applied your problem to my own code and "solved " it by tweaking it a bit. Again, hope it helps and steal ideas from that github project if you need to. Happy new year!

Sprite in Pyglet not doing what I want

I am trying to have a circle that, when clicked, moves somewhere else on the screen. However, when I click the circle, nothing happens.
#IMPORT STUFF
import pyglet as pg
from random import randint
mouse = pg.window.mouse
#VARS
window = pg.window.Window(width = 640, height = 480)

circleImg = pg.image.load("circle.png")
circle = pg.sprite.Sprite(circleImg, randint(1, window.width), randint(1, window.height))
text = pg.text.Label("Click red!", font_name = "Times New Roman", font_size = 18, x = 260, y = 10)
#DETECT MOUSE PRESS ON CIRCLE

def on_mouse_press(x, y, button, modifiers):
if x == circle.x and y == circle.y:
circle.x = randint(1, window.width)
circle.y = randint(1, window.height)

def on_draw():

if x <= self.x + self.texture.width and y <= self.y + self.texture.height:
return self

#VARS

score = 0
#circleImg = pyglet.image.load("circle.png")
#circle = pyglet.sprite.Sprite(circleImg, randint(1, window.width), randint(1, window.height))
circle = Circle(x=50, y=50)

A short description of what this does is it creates a custom class called Circle that inherits the Sprite class. It loads the circle.png as a texture with a alpha channel that gets blended by the GL library.
We add a custom function called click that checks if the lowest x,y coordinates are higher than the circles lowest x,y, then we check if the cursor is below x+width and same for y of the image region.
If that's the case, we return the circle sprite class as a True value in case we want to use the sprite.
Future enhancements:
You should draw the circle using gl functions, hence why I've defined radiance in the class definitions. However radiance here is never used, it's a placeholder for the future.
This is so you can use math to defined if you actually clicked within the circle, but this is beyond my scope of quick answers.. I would have to do a lot of debugging myself in order to get the math to add up (it's not my strong side).
What makes it work now is that we use the image width, height, x and y data to crudely check if we're within the image, aka "the circle".
trying to draw over sprite or change picture pyglet
As a bonus, I'll add this answer to the list of enhancements because it contains some stuff that might be useful. One would be to replace 90% of your code with a custom pyglet.window.Window class to replace global variables and decorators and stuff.
And it would look something like this:
import pyglet
from pyglet.gl import *
from random import randint
glEnable(GL_BLEND)
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA)
key = pyglet.window.key

print('Clicked in circle')
self.sprites['circle'].x = randint(0, self.width - 10)
self.sprites['circle'].y = randint(0, self.height - 10)
def on_key_press(self, symbol, modifiers):
if symbol == key.ESCAPE: # [ESC]
self.alive = 0

#

x = MainScreen()
x.run()

I'm not familiar with pyglet, but I'm guessing the problem is that you're checking whether x == circle.x etc, which means it only moves when you click the single pixel at the exact centre of the circle. Try some kind of maximum distance from the centre (e.g. a hypotenuse math.sqrt( (x-circle.x)**2 + (y-circle.y)**2) < circle.radius

Turn-based game map in python

I am making a turn-based game in python and I have some problems with game map.
This is the code:
import pygame, sys
from pygame.locals import *
pygame.init()
class Map(object):
def __init__(self, x, y, SURF):
self.x = x
self.y = y
self.SURF = SURF
def createNewMap(self, D1, D2):
create a D1xD2 map
self.Map = []
self.D1 = D1
self.D2 = D2
for n in range(self.D1):
current = ['']*self.D2
self.Map.append(current)
return self.Map
def drawMap(self):
draw the D1xD2 map from (x,y) position. grass.gif represent 1 grass box. the map contain D1xD2 grass boxes.
imgObj = pygame.image.load('images\\textures\grass.gif')
imgObj = pygame.transform.scale(imgObj, (40, 40))
xc = self.x
yc = self.y
for itemY in self.Map:
for itemX in self.Map[self.Map.index(itemY)]:
self.SURF.blit(imgObj, (xc, yc))
xc += 40
yc += 40
xc = self.x
i want when the mouse is above a box, i want to changes it with another texture box(grass1.gif). how can i do this?

You can do that by getting the current mouse position and then checking whether that is in the bounds of the box. Here is an unrelated example:
mouse_pos = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
for rectange in my_objects_list:
if rectangle.collidepoint(mouse_pos):
#do something ...

Menu for a game made in Pygame

I have no clue how I would implement a game menu into the game I've made, I was thinking about having buttons for instructions credits and a 'play game' button. So would someone mind helping me out in figuring how to make a simple menu in pygame or livewires? Thanks in advance :)

The Pygbutton module provides a way to create buttons in Pygame programs. You can download it via "pip install pygbutton". There are demos on the github: https://github.com/asweigart/pygbutton

Try this code out:
Game Menu function
def game_intro():
intro = True
while intro:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
pygame.quit()
quit()
gameDisplay.fill(white)
titleText = gameDisplay.blit(title, (170, 200)) # title is an image
titleText.center = ((display_width / 2), (display_height / 2))
# button(x, y, w, h, inactive, active, action=None)
button(100, 350, 195, 80, startBtn, startBtn_hover, game_loop)
button(300, 350, 195, 80, creditsBtn, creditsBtn_hover, #Your function)
pygame.display.update()
clock.tick(15)
you can call this menu above your game loop.
Button function
Pygame doesn't have buttons but it is pretty easy to make one!
def button(x, y, w, h, inactive, active, action=None):
mouse = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
click = pygame.mouse.get_pressed()
if x + w > mouse[0] > x and y + h > mouse[1] > y:
gameDisplay.blit(active, (x, y))
if click[0] == 1 and action is not None:
action()
else:
gameDisplay.blit(inactive, (x, y))
you can call this function inside your game menu like this:
#Example function call
button(340, 560, 400, 200, randomBtn, randomBtn_hover, random_func)
Here's what each parameter means in button():
x: x-coordinate of button
y: y-coordinate of button
w: button width(in pixels)
h: button height(in pixels)
active: the picture of the button when it is active(e.g when the mouse is hovering ver it)
inactive: the picture of the button when it is idle
action: the function to be executed when the button is pressed
Note: It is better to make a button function since it is easier to make one and it saves a lot of time
Hope this helped!
