Python Platformer Game Tutorial for Beginners

How can u run the file with a lot of problems I have one and it just crashes does anybody know how to fix it I installed the pygame module but it still didn't work

why this video is titled with the word 'beginner'?

Where to get the enemies? says link in project page, but no link.

The gravity implementation in this code is awfull. It hurts knowing that it could be impremented with just 2 lines of code.
Every frame add 1 to y velocity, if on ground set y velocity to 0.

i am a beginer

thank you i always dreamed to make a game and publish it i am 9

how to download the github repository?

it is showing error for me in the class Player(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
it is telling 'module' object is not callable

great!

The github code is kinda broken, i can't view the code there. But Good job!

WHY CANT EVERYONE BE AS DOPE AS THE BEGINNING BRO SAID IF THAT DOESNT WORK THEN HERES 5 OTHER OPTIONS AND 2 VIDEOS damn bro cares :)

i could not under stand hoe the loading of the sprites worked

It's really confusing, and only really teaches you how to work with specific and ready sprites. At least it's free I guess.

its very fast paced and its a lil hard to keep up and the details are not much discussed and why the code is structured that way, lil confusing

Absolutely amazing video!

Just Wondering: How Do You Add Multiple Fires?

i cant import os modul

I'am 43 , I did it! I just finished your course .. thank you Tim

code not even working for me, it says pygame module not found but pygame is already installed, also import math random and os it's not even getting highlighted

muito obrigado pela Magnifica aula

This is a great introduction to python for gaming.

I cant RUN, i mean, everything's fine, even the RUN.png loaded, but it doesn't run when it runs(?)

Getting ModuleNotFoundError: No module named pygame. I’m on windows

Need help,
when i try to run the code on "Pixel Perfect Collision (vertical)" portion, i got error:
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'overlap'

The tutorial is too complicated and advanced for novices. You must be proficient in Python and also master the usage of the pygame module, which is suitable for speeding up the viewing process.

what to do if the window doesn't pop up when running the program

Thanks so much for putting these tutorials out there. One of the things i don't understand is how do you know what functions to use within the PyGame library (Or any library for that matter)?
I do know where to find the documentation online but it seems like a lot of info to parse through. Or do I just need to bite the bullet and RTFM? haha.

Considering pygame it's a SDL wrapper, this tutorial is useful for C++ programmers who are using SDL to game games aswell
Great tutorial!

Love the tutorial so far, but I've run into a snag and can't seem to get around it. I installed pygame through VSC but when I run the script to test whether it quits the game window, it gives me "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pygame' " because my pygame installation is located under Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pygame (using Mac) -- any suggestions?

For some reason whenever my character touches the ground it keeps bouncing on it, i double check the code with the one Tim had and I can't find the problem, anyone have any idea what could cause it?

Thanks! It was fun but it works very laggy on my computer (and I don't know why, it's a good computer).

I found that to be able to run the tutorial with a double-click in Windows (rather than via the development environment), I needed to add the line:
mypath = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
near the start of the code (I put it after the line setting the caption),
and then change the joins that specify "assets" from
path = join("assets",
to
path = join(mypath, "assets",
This is needed because double-click does not set your starting directory to the one where the code is stored, so the assets folder can't be found.

It's so laggy (yes my laptop is old) even for just a simple platformer game. Definitely pygame is not an engine for serious commercial game.

Thank you!!!

Hey, would you folks ever consider making text tutorials? I suffered a concussion middle of last year and even though I'm out of the 7 month window of recovery, it seems that migraines and audio sensitivity are going to be a thing for me for... who knows how long. So, I have my own personal reasons for wanting text tutorials, but I can't be the only one who would like to see one or two? Ty

YOU'RE AMAZING!

Can you do this through REPLIT?

Omg yay! I can’t wait to try this

Thanks for your tutorial.
How can make this game mobile compatible for ios/android?
Please let me know the possibilities.

I watch Pygame tutorials so I can build my game in C SDL2 - it's literally the same library.

I have a question can you make any game with these steps and code.

CAN I MAKE GAME LIKE THIS TO ANDROID MOBILE PHONE AND RELEASE THEM IN GOOGLE STORE?

Amazing
