In this pygame tutorial we will be working through creating a full space shooter/invader game! I will be teaching the pygame module and some basic game design principles as we walk through this long python 3 pygame tutorial.

  1. Hello, I am working on this game, and I have a little question to ask. When an enemy is killed, why the lasers he shot are also removed?

  2. bro often you are saying that if i run this image and there is a image is showing like how to run that what is the key is it ctrl+b

  3. I dint know why but every time i try to run it it gives a error message about the png but i have all of them does someone maybe know what to do

  4. I love the game thank you Tim
    😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

  5. Full name of pip is PYPI, which stands for Python Package Index.

  6. My 'ship.draw(WIN)' in the redraw function isn't working

  7. Does anyone know how he's able to open a new file in sublime text and name the file immediately at the bottom? I usually have to open a file and do save as etc.

  8. French : merci mon gars , tu m'as beaucoup appris , merci de ta générosité

  9. im making the game for my dads birthday i hope he likes it

  10. I have the assets showing in my files by it says file not found in working directory what does that mean

  11. @55.32 I'm getting an indentation error on line 66 when putting in the super().__init__(x, y, health)

    any solutions?

  12. interesting. I usually use unity and c sharp and it works really well for me and i have programmed a few really good games with it, but pygame can be better in some situations, when you want more control. Thanks for the tutorial!

  13. I know this video is old but can anyone help me because I have reached 1:39:24 but my ships still shoot before they reach the screen so it makes it realy hard to play. Please help.

  14. For the issue of enemy lasers shooting off center from the enemy ships, I used a different solution that doesn't involve overriding the inherited shoot method:

    Use an image editing program (Photoshop, Paint 3D, etc.) to edit the size of each laser image asset (red, green, and blue) to be the same width as its corresponding ship image asset (red, green, and blue). NOTE: Make sure to keep the transparent background!

    Thank you for the tutorial! This is really helping me learn Python and is giving me good practical practice for how to work with classes.

  15. how do i fix indention error

  16. can someone post their code bc i think i went wrong somewhere and i just wanted to check

  17. keeps saying can't find import pygame, looked up multiple places to fix, but still getting same error. it installs but doesn't recognize?

  18. I'm up to 38:40 but when I go to run program to see the red square I get a blank screen and the error:
    "NameError: name 'ship' is not defined"
    I've checked many times and my code is indentical. Anyone know where I'm going wrong? Can't figure it out. Thanks

  37. when i type def main() for the quit screen it says folder not found & freezes when i hit the X button ? please help

  38. You shouldn’t call a kabel
    Functional (collide) in this case from a class.
    You would put the object into the collide() function in your main loop. That way your class is never dependent on an external function!

  39. How could someone monetise a game like this? I'm thinking of trying to build a game in JS but just curious how someone could make money from it etc. thanks.
