I'm just starting to get into pygame. With my previous questions I don't think I've been wording it properly for what I am trying to do.
Here is a quick picture I did to try demonstrate:
This is a single background image or map that I would like the player to move across. The red X is just a starting place for the character. I'm try to make it so when I move the player the background will also follow as if the player is moving through the map.
I've already limited the player from not being able to go off the borders of the actual screen. Just having a bit of trouble now trying to make it so the single image will move along the player and if the player reaches the end of the map picture movement stops.
I have seen people use scrolling and duplicating the image when the player moves. I just want to see it to the single image that the player will move across.
I don't want to worry about collisions just be able to get the movement working.
This is the code I am currently using:
import pygame
from pygame.locals import *
from math import sin
pygame.display.set_caption("TEST")
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
time_passed = 0
class Player():
def __init__(self,x,y):
self.Image = pygame.image.load("myAvatar.png").convert()
self.x = 200
self.y = 200
def getX(self):
return self.rect.x
def getY(self):
return self.rect.y
def handle_keys(self,screenHeight,screenWidth):
key = pygame.key.get_pressed()
dist = 2
if key[K_LEFT] and self.x > 0:
self.x -= 500 * time_passed
if key[K_RIGHT] and self.x < screenWidth -20:
self.x += 500 * time_passed
if key[K_UP] and self.y > 0:
self.y -= 500 * time_passed
if key[K_DOWN] and self.y < screenHeight -20:
self.y += 500 * time_passed
def draw(self, game_window):
self.Image = pygame.transform.scale(self.Image,(20,20))
game_window.blit(self.Image, (int(self.x), int(self.y)))
class Map():
def __init__(self):
self.Image = pygame.image.load("test2.png").convert()
self.rect = self.Image.get_rect()
self.x = 0
self.y = 0
def draw(self, game_window,screenHeight,screenWidth):
self.x = min(max(self.x, player.x - 2 * screenWidth / 2), player.x - screenWidth / 2)
self.y = min(max(self.y, player.y -2 * screenHeight / 2), player.y - screenHeight / 2)
game_window.blit(self.Image,(-self.x,-self.y))
class Enemy():
def __init__ (self,x,y):
self.Image = pygame.image.load("WC.jpg").convert()
self.rect = self.Image.get_rect(topleft = (x,y))
def draw(self, game_window):
self.Image = pygame.transform.scale(self.Image,(20,20))
game_window.blit(self.Image, (self.rect.x, self.rect.y))
pygame.init()
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
screenWidth = 400
screenHeight = 400
game_window = pygame.display.set_mode((screenWidth,screenHeight))
player = Player(200,200)
map = Map()
enemy = Enemy(250,250)
leave = False
while not leave:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
pygame.quit()
running = False
player.handle_keys(screenHeight,screenWidth)
game_window.fill((0,0,0))
map.draw(game_window,screenHeight,screenWidth)
#enemy.draw(game_window)
player.draw(game_window)
pygame.display.update()
pygame.display.flip()
time_passed = clock.tick() / 1000
pygame.quit()
quit()
The player's movement depends on the size of the map. The x
and y
attributes of the "player" store the position on the map and are limited to the size of the map (map_size
). The player is always drawn in the center of the screen, except it is near the boarders of the map:
class Player():
def __init__(self, x, y):
self.Image = pygame.image.load("myAvatar.png").convert()
self.x = 200
self.y = 200
def handle_keys(self, map_size):
key = pygame.key.get_pressed()
self.x += (key[K_RIGHT] - key[K_LEFT]) * 500 * time_passed
self.y += (key[K_DOWN] - key[K_UP]) * 500 * time_passed
self.x = max(0, min(map_size[0]-20, self.x))
self.y = max(0, min(map_size[1]-20, self.y))
def draw(self, game_window, map_size):
window_size = game_window.get_size()
center = window_size[0] // 2, window_size[0] // 2
pos = [self.x, self.y]
for i in range(2):
if center[i] < pos[i] <= map_size[i]-center[i]:
pos[i] = center[i]
elif pos[i] > map_size[i] - center[i]:
pos[i] = window_size[i] - map_size[i] + pos[i]
game_window.blit(self.Image, (int(pos[0]), int(pos[1])))
The player's position on the map is centered in the window:
class Map():
def __init__(self):
self.Image = pygame.image.load("test2.png").convert()
def draw(self, game_window):
window_size = game_window.get_size()
map_size = self.Image.get_size()
x = max(0, min(map_size[0] - window_size[0], player.x - 200))
y = max(0, min(map_size[1] - window_size[1], player.y - 200))
game_window.blit(self.Image, (-x, -y))
Application loop:
leave = False
while not leave:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
leave = True
player.handle_keys(map.Image.get_size())
game_window.fill((0,0,0))
map.draw(game_window)
#enemy.draw(game_window)
player.draw(game_window, map.Image.get_size())
pygame.display.update()
pygame.display.flip()
time_passed = clock.tick() / 1000
pygame.quit()
