So, I'm having some trouble developing the space ship movement on my game. I checked the code a couple of times and yet I still can't find nothing. The project is from this video [this video] and I got this bug on the minute 44:55, and I'm using Python 3.8. Here's the code. import pygame # Initiate pygame pygame.init() # Display the game window screen = pygame.display.set_mode((800,600)) # Title and Icon pygame.display.set_caption('Space Invaders') icon = pygame.image.load('icon.png') pygame.display.set_icon(icon) # Player playerSprite = pygame.image.load('player.png') playerX = 370 playerY = 480 playerX_change = 0 def player(x,y): screen.blit(playerSprite, (x, y)) # Game Loop running = True whil

Please help!! I'm trying to make Space Invaders with Python following this tutorial: [this video] I got suuper confused at the part when the guy starts to add for loops, as I'm horrible with them and I don't really understand them. There need to be multiple enemies, so I make a for loop that iterates through lists of variables and draws enemies. The tutorial went very quickly, and I have no idea what I'm supposed to put "[i]" next to, and what not. When I run my code (shown below) it says: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Users/geema/PycharmProjects/pythonpractice/Scripts/myfirstpygame.py", line 139, in <module> enemyX[i] += enemyX_change[i] I could copy and paste the code, but the pur

I am trying to move my character. I wrote it just like in a tutorial( [this video] ). It doesn't work. My character just wont move. I do not see any errors neither! Did I forget to add something to my code - in the KEYDOWN section? So the whole Code is here but the problem probably is in the KEYDOWN section or the player coordinates. Here is the code: import pygame from pygame.locals import * pygame.init() WINDOW_WIDTH = 800 WINDOW_HEIGHT = 600 SURFACE = pygame.HWSURFACE|pygame.DOUBLEBUF|pygame.RESIZABLE win = pygame.display.set_mode((WINDOW_WIDTH, WINDOW_HEIGHT), SURFACE) win.fill((0, 180, 210)) pygame.display.set_caption("Baloon War!") icon = pygame.image.load("Baloon war icon.png") pygame.disp

This has been asked by many others but i cant seem to get it to work for my code (Space invaders). Tutorial python version 1.9.6 and i am using 3.8.5 so it's very possibly outdated code or is there a mistake. How should i do this in 3.8.5? Tutorial: [this video] I am making it so it would spawn in 6 enemies and i added the [i] to the end almost every enemyX, enemyY or enemy_change as i was told in a tutorial. So i got this error for line 56: screen.blit(enemyImg[i], (x, y)) TypeError: invalid destination position for blit" and the Pygame window closes. Thanks for help Here is the error related code followed by the tutorial: import random import math pygame.init() pygame.init() enemyImg = [] enemy

I have been following a Pygame tutorial on made on 2019 so it might be outdated. It should detect the arrow keys and print it but it keeps spamming the print right or left arrow and the keystroke released when i press any arrow key. is the code outdated or is there a mistake on my code? And also before it start the spamming it says "ALSA lib pcm.c:8526:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred" on the pycharm as an error. It works great for all the other parts. video link if you need ( [this video] ) im using pygame 2.0.0 on pycharm 3.8.5 if its the same on pycharm and python.

Cites Codem · 2021-05 · Stack Overflow · on “How do I add a 32px png as a new file in Pycharm so that my script can find it?”

I was following a starter tutorial on Pygame but at some point of the video, we can see he has "ufo.png" as a Pycharm file on the left side of the screen and as a tab. Video link at the right timecode: [this video] He explains how to download the file from flaticon.com (32px) but not how to get it into Pycharm. I tried to to just slide into the tab bar to create a new tab with the file in it, and it works, but the script cannot find it. It might be because although the file is a new tab, it doesn't appear in the folder on the right side, unlike "main.py" or "ufo.png" in the video. Anyway, this is my script so far. import pygame # Initialize the pygame pygame.init() #create the screen screen = pyg
