[Help] Error with Objects

Sun, 09 Jan 2022 19:43:31 UTC

Hello everyone,

I am working on some test code for a game idea and it involved picking up one object at a time. Now my code functions properly for the most part but for some reason the p.detect won't trigger for the key but it will for the gun. And the key can't be placed on top of the gun (correct) but the gun can be placed on top of the key (not meant to happen).

If someone wouldn't mind taking a look for me, most of the code I'm currently working with in is the objects functions and the player functions.

The boolean values are:

p.detect
p.held
key.detect
key.held
gun.detect
gun.held

Cowboy Hardline

Hey everyone,

I am currently working on my second game, after the first one I did, a simple pong clone with semi-realistic physics. This game is called Cowboy Hardline and features a minimalist art design and cowboys dueling at noon action. You play as a western rogue facing off against a small handful of enemies, each increasing in difficulty.

Progress:

Art 80% (Enemy variations and background anims)

Code 85% (Gotta finish the levels code)

Sound 0% (Doing it last)

Oh and now for two things, extremely necessary flavor text and some screenshots:

Howdy Pardner!

Tiny Ideas

Sun, 27 Sep 2020 17:10:26 UTC

Hey everyone!
I have an idea that could benefit a lot of newbies such as myself. The basic premise is to post a growing list of tiny ideas that range in complexity from simple to hard concepts. The reason I thing this is a great idea is for two main reasons. The first is that staring down a whole project while exciting and fun can be intimidating. The second reason is that when I was learning Python I found lists like these that taught me how to program. I always found this extremely useful and I think others will as well. It also teaches thinking like a game developer by breaking things down.

So my suggestions for making tiny ideas:

Make statements randomly print (Beginner)
Draw a unique sprite and move it around (Beginner)
Create an effect in a function (Beginner)
Animate one object on repeat (Intermediate)

Looking forward to hearing other tiny ideas!
