Welcome back to another video! In todays video I am going to be showing you how to make the famous game of Pong in Python! This is a great project for beginner or intermediate programmers. A lot of what we need to code out is the logic led to moving the ball around and having it bounce off the different paddles and implementing the score. If you are not, say an expert Python programmer already, you're going to learn a lot from this project!

Hey Tim. I just recently discovered your channel and I must say I'm very impressed with your hands on tutorials. I'm working for a non-profit organization that helps people with a psychiatric background to rehabilitate. A lot of the participants show an interest in programming and your content is very helpful to explore this. Well explained; bite sized; project based. Thanks man!

@ivanmironov599 Год назад

I've missed your pygame tutorials! I find your tutorials interesting and especially the pygame ones since I started programming by making simple games, and now I'm learning pygame, so good job

@jakemasters4361 2 года назад

Hey man, I don't comment too often but I felt the need to express my gratitude for all the great content. I studied C# years ago, loved it but got pigeon holed doing helpdesk work for 7 years and pretty much forgetting everything I'd learned. Almost a decade later I'm picking back up where I left off, discovering my passion again, and trying to get my foot in the development door professionally. Your channel has been a godsend. You have a natural talent for teaching and presenting information in a way that's easy to grasp. I've never been the type who learns much from just watching lectures. The guided tutorial format has always been best for me, and you've got some of the best I've been able to find. All the best!

@Lahmeinthehouse 2 года назад

Hey Tim! Great video, just one tip: Did you know that you can place the mouse location at multiple places AND do the exact same commands? So if you want to change left_paddle , left_paddle and change that directly to right, you can hold CTRL, click at the end of the words in BOTH variables, backspace and then write Right. This makes you able to change and write the same thing multiple places.

@Alk0h0liX 2 года назад

Hey Tim - thanks a lot for your amazing videos! I just started coding/Python two months ago and you helped me so much already. Always thought, that coding is something I am not able to do, because during study it was just horribly boring, but you definetely helped to show me, that coding is a lot of fun, a lot of thinking and a lot of "sense of archievement", if everything works in the end. An AI-pong video would be great by the way! I am just now trying something similar with "Brick Breaker" and I am kind of stuck :D

Hey Tim. I dont have programming background except for seeing a few videos on python. I had visual studio code on my pc. I saw the first few minutes of the video and I installed pygame using the code given and then copy-pasted the code you attached and now I am playing ping on my pc. I am done within 10 minutes. Thanks a lot.

@myhatmygandhi6217 2 года назад

I did this as a complete beginner, literally know nothing about programming/coding. Just followed the video and did it using Pythons IDLE. Had to make 4 or 5 corrections along the way but is was pretty straight forward. Great video! Looking forward to learning actual fundamentals of coding online now, preferably in Python. Edit: Being able to programme AI in this game would be great too for a future video.

@TechWithTim 2 года назад

I have a video on AI!

@HcmfWice Год назад

You could save yourself a lot of typing by using the object-oriented features of Python. E.g. you could add some methods to the Paddle class like left_x(), right_x(), top_y(), bottom_y() that calculate and return the relevant edge values of the paddle. Same with the ball. It would also make the code much cleaner.

@davebostain8588 6 месяцев назад

Great Video! I have a program to train the Gym Pong in Pythorch. The training appears to go well, but the AI cannot play the game well. I am hoping these videos will provide some insight into why this is occurring. I like the way you didn't make a bunch of classes just to make classes, but made classes when it made sense to make classes. Looking forward to the Pong AI training video!

@lukaszb3233 3 месяца назад

Brilliant work Tim 😁 I absolutely love your content and it's very helpful for the beginner programmer to understand. The only thing I could add to this is to avoid repeatable code in your handle_paddle_movement function you could alter the move function of the Paddle class. That's what I did in the sample below: def move(self, up): if up == True and self.y >= 0: self.y -= self.VELOCITY elif up == False and self.y < HEIGHT - PADDLE_HEIGHT: self.y += self.VELOCITY Keep up the great work you do :)

@puturavindrawiguna3025 2 года назад

hey Tim, i have a question about the reason you are passing the left paddle and right paddle into a list, is there any reason why you choose list instead of other array like type like say tuple? or is it completely free to choose and doesn't have an impact on the peformance

@alexbartles 2 года назад

@sp1nk1ck53 2 года назад

I have a question: In the handle collision function, is it really necessary to check if the ball is in between the corners of the paddle it's about to hit if in it's nested "if" statement, you're going to check if the ball hits the paddle anyways?

@justmyfavs5796 2 года назад

Hey Tim my program is just changing the speed of the ball when it collides with different sides of the paddle instead of changing angles. Do you know what might be wrong or anyone in the comments know?

@MonTech0451 2 года назад

ok i figure it out it was in the ball call move function and i wrote self.x += self.y_vel so my y movement was not working on the ball lol. I wonder why this caused my ball to change speeds instead of angle most be the collision equation was only appling on the x coordinates of the ball

Can anyone explain to me why you would prefer to use something like pygame that takes much more time and knowledge, over a game engine like godot that will do a lot of the tedious work for you? This is a real question and I'm asking purely out of ignorance. Thanks to anyone who answers!

@malindrome9055 2 года назад

the reason why is pygame isnt about learning game dev per se, but its more about learning how to code and learning how to do other projects, like if you wanted to do gamedev, then pygame is not for you, then you can use godot, but pygame teaches you how to make other software, hope this helps!

They seem to be perfect dimensions, just drawn at the wrong angle. Any help be Much appreciated.

@Fr-wx8zj Месяц назад

I think you may be getting your paddle width and height placed wrong. There's two possibilities, 1. While calling your function, you put the variable for the width and height in the wrong order ( being paddle_height, paddle_width)(instead of paddle_width, paddle_height). 2. You got the variable sequence right, but the value is swapped with one another ( like paddle_width, paddle_height = 100, 20)(instead of paddle_width, paddle_height = 20, 100) I'm not sure if this is what you're asking , but hope it helps
