Creating an amazing 2D platformer in Python [ SNES inspired ] 

At the end of the level graphics around 20 minutes got accidentally cut off (just before 03:09:47 ), you can find that part here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dh3f70t_1Lo.html Sorry for the inconvenience :(

I'm glad you are back! Definitely appreciation your work! Very high quality

we've waited for over a half a year for this, glad you're back

Love your content... Good to see you back

So glad you're back! This looks brilliant!

This is amazing man. Thank you for putting out quality like this, the premise of the game is exactly what I was looking for

So glad you're back! I love all your inspirative contents :3

Thank you so much for creating this comprehensive pygame Python tutorial. I haven’t gone through it all yet but I think it’s the most detailed pygame tutorial I have seen.

You're amazing! Appreciate all the effort you put in your content

I JUST finished space invader's one yesterday. I'm so pumped to wake up today and see what I get to learn next!

thank you so much for the high quality content! I have learned so much thanks to you! I really can't wait to make me some time to go over through this :D I love your work!

Genuinely good content, keep it up!

Thank you for the course!! Appreciate people like you giving out such good quality courses for free God bless you

Awesome 9 hr course, I still remember working on this exact project over a ago using your older platformer tutorial, I don't use pygame anymore but your videos have been really fun to watch, and have taught me a lot of things, I've also noticed that you released a complete free course on Godot, out of curiousity do you plan on making Godot and Pygame related tutorials or just focusing on one of them?

Finally! I've done. Thank you very much , I hope that you'll success on your own ♥

Your content is top notch, please release more material!

Very happy that you continue to make content for Pygame!

Man you're just awesome, keep going like this please🎉

fantastic!! thank you for all the hard work

please continue with the videos, they are incredible, I'm from Brazil and I study through your channel

I appreciate the tutorial using pygame-ce :)

More than glad you're back

Appreciate your tutorials!

I have been anxiously waiting for what felt like forever. Thank you sir for your hard work. Just a suggestion; if you get the chance, please make something about web-dev with python

The lord has returned with another banger!

استمر في الابداع انت شخص جيد Keep creating, you are a good person

Here since you had like 4k subs man, Keep up the work. Thank god i learnt godot before the unity disaster.

You were one of my first ever game developer tutorials teacher I ever had. I loved the ursina Minecraft game tutorial, but I honestly was just copying what you did. After I tried the Godot engine, I finally understood that the problem was I didn't understand a word. I followed lots of tutorials, yours, coco code, coding with Russ, I finally learned and fell in love with it. I always wanted to make a game like this, but I still am not experienced enough. Do you think you could recreate this but in Godot please? I love the way you explain and I feel you would be a great Godot instructor. Please clear code, your follower is waiting for you :) -The 12 Year old Game Developer

You are a inspiration to all of us ❤

I can't believe you make this great and educational content for free

I've been following along with your Zelda pygame tutorial for inspiration with a game I'm making. I love your videos, they're easy to follow and extremely helpful. I'd love to see you make a turn based RPG in pygame, where you traverse the map just like in your Zelda video, but upon making contact with the enemy, instead if taking damage, it starts a turn based battle. Anyway, keep up the good work, you're the best.👍

LET'S GOOOOOOO! THE MASTER RETURNED!! WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR YOU MASTER FOR OVER HALF AN YEAR!! THIS IS CELEBRATE WORTHY! 🥳🎉

Thanks to you I learned to develop video games in pygame, you are very good as a teacher. maybe one day I will publish some tutorials on pygame in Italian the way you do it

Hello Chris, thanks for sharing such a great tutorial. I have learned a lot of great techniques, and the material continues to improve. I have watched your videos from the first one. Also your teaching style is excellent and it does make a big difference. While I was following the tutorial, I tried two different techniques and they worked very well with no game impact, just perhaps a simpler approach with less code, so I would like to share with you and everyone here: 1. When working on the collision detection of the Shell with the player, I used the same rectangle idea from Tooth, like this: def state_management(self): # player_pos, shell_pos = vector(self.player.hitbox_rect.center), vector(self.rect.center) # player_near = shell_pos.distance_to(player_pos) < 500 # player_front = shell_pos.x < player_pos.x if self.bullet_direction > 0 else shell_pos.x > player_pos.x # player_level = abs(shell_pos.y - player_pos.y) < 30 front_rect = pygame.FRect(self.rect.center, (500*self.bullet_direction, 2)) if front_rect.colliderect(self.player.rect) and not self.shoot_timer.active: # if player_near and player_front and player_level and not self.shoot_timer.active: self.state = 'fire' self.frame_index = 0 self.shoot_timer.activate() 2. For the Spike rotation I used a vector2 instead of trigonometry. In the __init__ here is the change: # rotation using a vector self.loc = vector(0, 0) super().__init__((self.loc), surf, groups, z) # trigonometry # y = self.center[1] + sin(radians(self.angle)) * self.radius # x = self.center[0] + cos(radians(self.angle)) * self.radius # super().__init__((x,y), surf, groups, z) In the update, here is the change: # y = self.center[1] + sin(radians(self.angle)) * self.radius # x = self.center[0] + cos(radians(self.angle)) * self.radius # self.rect.center = (x,y) # rotation using a vector self.loc = self.center + vector(self.radius, 0).rotate(self.angle) self.rect.center = (self.loc)

Thank you for this.

Woooo! More awesome game tutorials! 👍 👍

Loved following this video! Along with the Udemy course and many of the youtube tutorials, I have finally got the confidence to make games myself! Thank you so much, i enjoy all your content and advice :) Could you please make a Pokemon style game next? That would be amazing!

Finallt you uploaded!!

Great Video!

Thx for the tutoriel.

Thank you. You had a course about sprite classes in your channel, I couldn't find that

Sensacional!!!! Meus parabéns amigo!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏😎👍

Return of the KING!!!

unbelievable, amazing.

Thank you for this lecture

Hello! I love your tutorials, thanks a lot. And i would be very happy if you make a full kivy course like tkinter :)

Thanks for working on that

Leaving a like and commenting so the algorithm can boost up the video ❤

even though his videos are mainly in python (and now gdscript as well), his videos never fail to help me in my sfml journey really appreciate it :)

I just wanted to watch pygame tutorial but i got the best explanation of trigonometry

Thank you so much ❤

the goat is back

Great video ! Will you ever make java tutorials ? Because you teach very well and your videos look clean.

WOW, JUST WOW!

Hello @ClearCode. First of all I would like to say you a huge thank you very very very much for your tutorials. Would you please cover creating isometric scenes and isometric maps created in Tiled in you further tutorials. It would be very very interesting topic.

Awesome!

Hello! Thank you for this tutorial! I hope some day in the near future you consider making a roguelike. It would be awesome to watch and code along.

thank you

Just love you

You cheeky little goat 🐐

PyGame is very similar to some features of the Godot game engine, or vice versa :). The only difference is that there is a lot of manual work compared to Godot, although PyGame includes some techniques to make the game easier to create. But... By programming the entire game by hand, I began to understand more about how the game works, how collisions and movements work, how textures are loaded and much, much, much more. Thank you so much for such a wonderful lesson! PS. My player still falls through the platform as it moves down. I looked at your code, but didn’t find any differences (maybe I didn’t look well :) ).

For anyone struggling with the file path or getting the error "no such file or director". I have a Macbook and I use VS code. The file path that has worked for me was 'data/levels/omni.tmx'. Just make sure you don't add the '../' in front. That should fix it!

я только вчера посмотрел 1 часть и вот спустя 1 день (1 год), 1 час назад вышло продолжение, спасибо тебе

Yooo new video just dropped. I’d love to see you make a (online or LAN) multiplayer game, just to see how to handle synchronization and all…

Wonderful.

Hi Clear Code! I was wondering if you could help me with a problem im having? I followed every step in your video but whenever I run the game, the overworld doesnt show up but rather it puts me in the first level but under grass blocks. Any idea what could be wrong?

I've just started this project from earlier videos on your channel. Was just finished generating the level with the list of strings. Is this a different version of the same project? Or part of it?

I’m not sure why this video isn’t doing as well as the rest but just thought I’d show my support. You taught me a lot and I hope you continue to make videos. Would love to see how you make Pokémon in pygames!

Awesome tutorial! By the way, if I would like to make the horizontal movement acceleration based - so e.g. when you press Left, it starts slower and then sets to the 'max speed', how would I implement that? (same could be done to deceleration aswell?). I think it would add a nice touch to the smoothness of character movement.

Well, now I know what I am going to do on my weekends

Is it necessary to program the entire collision system? ( Isn't there anything like in Godot, GameMaker or Phaser where collision are already set for us? )

the best pygame tutor is back. you should do his udemy course if you have not done so already!

Thank you!

Does this one include joystick control AS WELL AS KEYBOARD? That is a major stumbling block on pygame. And is tiled files available as well?

好久不见😀

❤❤❤ wow , i wish you make Cuphead game like this

hi brother can you enlighten me there is an error like list index out of range in the class AnimatedSprite(Sprite) thank you very much for the transmission of knowledge

@ClearCode At 1:23:03, I followed exactly the same steps, however when I move (self.collision('vertical')) to the bottom, the code the character does not jump except when it is not colliding with any of the floor, left, right. And when I place it here (orange arrow, it jumps fine but when jumping while colliding with right wall, it sinks downward.: def move(self, dt): self.rect.x += self.direction.x * self.speed * dt self.collision('horizontal') if not self.on_surface['floor'] and any((self.on_surface['left'], self.on_surface['right'])): self.direction.y = 0 self.rect.y += self.gravity/10 * dt else: self.direction.y += self.gravity / 2 * dt self.rect.y += self.direction.y * dt self.direction.y += self.gravity / 2 * dt ▶self.collision('vertical') if self.jump: if self.on_surface['floor']: self.direction.y = -self.jump_height self.jump = False Can you kindly help with that?

Having a problem trying to import the timer class File is in the code folder with the rest of my project but when I add from timer import Timer I get this error Import "timer" could not be resolved from source

oh my. I know what I'm doing this week

do anyone know how can i upload my games written in python online, Although the game is not any comlex, but when i try pygame, it don't load ... maybe i have may folders outside the main working directory. So if i can't upload it what the use of writing game in python 🤔🤔

The intro music is that of the Ninja Pizza Cats! 😄

What IDE are you using for this project?

Would it be possible to host this on a website? How would I showcase this game to someone without them needing to download it?

Hello @ClearCode, I don't understand how you make the pearl collision working as the Shell is in the collision_sprite so the pearl is killed right after its creation. I had to use this trick to make it work : def pearl_collision(self): for sprite in self.collision_sprites: if not isinstance(sprite, Shell): pygame.sprite.spritecollide(sprite, self.pearl_sprites, True) Did I miss something ?

Thanks for the code, just wanted to ask, at 13:14 you start writing a line related to pytmx. Is this line nessesary, because if so, is there any way to write it without getting an error?

I'm having trouble, everything works perfect until 1hr 22mins. The wall slide, I've checked and kept code correctly and i get a weird result jump wont work properly if at all adding the changes to move module. If I remove the code and test, it works fine. seems to be moving self.collision('vertical') might be causing it? I sometimes get the error direction in x error too. Odd my code is exactly how shown?

I have an problem after creating the small clouds, the helicopter that goes down doesn't work, if i stand on it while it goes down my character fals through it(And i'm not clicking on the down button). I now that the collision doesn't work if it goes down, but i don't find the problem. Can someone help me pls🥺?

thank you very much for this great tutorial. i dowloaded the code but iI also got this error-message while compiling 'pygame.surface.Surface' object has no attribute 'get_frect'. what can i do to solve my problem? I tried to uninstall my pygame version and to download the latest version but it didnt help.

Hi @ClearCode I have an issue, how can I solve this ? When I drag the pygame window, the character's position changes.

I'm stuck at the beginning and keep getting this error every time I try to run the code: Warning: PyGame seems to be running through X11 on top of wayland, instead of wayland directly Edit: I got the code to run now, but the warning continues to pop up. What does it mean?

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Can you do a tutorial on creating a 'idle click game' style

i have done what you said to upgrade to pygame-ce but vs code is telling me that " 'pygame' has no attribute 'init' ", so its not working at all and also when doing from pygame.math import Vector2 as vector it says pygame has no attribute "math". pls help i'm really confused why it's bugging like this, they worked just fine with pygame but not now.

If i try to execute in the class Player , self.rect = self.image.get_frect , it gives me the following error: attributeError. Pygame.surface.Surface object has no attribute 'get_frect' did you mean get_rect? How can i fix it

Wow, 9 and 1/2 hours!!! Would it be possible to create bit size playlists videos?

Can you give a document of this project

I love u sir

@ClearCode If I move my game window my player dissappears from the game. Is there a solution for this? it seems that when moving the game window the player does not reconize this and the gravity is put up and he falls through the floor

This is great! I'd love to subscribe, but I already have. subscribe++ 👏
