i want to make an multiplayer game for me and my friend to play cards but idk how to make it multiplayer, can u make an video about that? sorry if i want too much
In year 1991 I was 10 years old and I programmed my first shooter game with spaceships and crafts using "Basic" programming language on 8-bit computer including some puzzle games, also hacked few other games. Unfortunately my parents were keep saying that the computers will bring me nothing in my life and they will never support me. That was the reality in a soviet republic. Our childhood was ruined by fake preceptions of what we should become in life and what they were telling us at school. At the end of the days that turned me into rebellion, punk, electronic musician and I missed how this technology was developed it time, but I was really into the games and computer programming. Growed up with illigally imported Atari ( that game was forbidden in our country) present from my auntie since I was at the kindergarten. I'm sure that there is kids at same situation still somewhere...

HI Keith! Great video! mine is all done but I realize that the enemy only comes down once, however the score keeps tallying. I can't seem to pinpoint the issue where do I check? Thanks
@@anuragsingh-kv6de can u send me that please?😅
by far the most helpful tutorial on python I've found. I was having trouble finding this 'real world' application. Watching the code written outside does worlds better then memorizing mysterious pieces of information. This makes so much more sense!
You are an extremely natural teacher. I appreciate how you consider the mistakes someone coding this for the first time would come across and "fall into" those errors as a chance for us viewers to correct our own understanding as we watch. Thank you for the video!
Man you're awesome! I did everything! It took me about 6 hours to finish and learn, and I liked every second of it
Great stuff! Happy to hear this :)
I am thinking the same
@@KeithGalli hey really man this is a amazing fuck:)
*not fuck luck*
@Velou Kaliappan You know very well you did it on purpose, don’t act like it was a mistake lol
To make the enemies move smoother, you could:
...
screen.fill(BG_COLOR)
if enemy_pos[1] >= 0 and enemy_pos[1] < HEIGHT:
enemy_pos[1] += 1
...
clock.tick(100*SPEED)
This would make enemies fall down smoother, improving gameplay.
:)
where do i put this
keep up the good work bro! i learned a lot,subscribed with notifications turned on! cant miss any of your content tbh! THANK YOU

One of the best tutorials out there, keep it up!
You teached me the most importand thing in coding!!!! USE THE DOCIMENTATION!!!!!! thank you soo much!
This was a great tutorial! I even was able to add some stuff like smooth movement where you just hold down the key!
What was the code?
*Outside of main loop*
key_left = False
key_right = False
*Inside of the "for event in pygame.event.get():" loop*
if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
if event.key == pygame.K_LEFT:
key_left = True
elif event.key == pygame.K_RIGHT:
key_right = True
elif event.type == pygame.KEYUP:
if event.key == pygame.K_LEFT:
key_left = False
elif event.key == pygame.K_RIGHT:
key_right = False
*Inside of the main loop directly after the previous loop*
if key_left:
player_pos[0] -= player_speed
elif key_right:
player_pos[0] += player_speed
(player_speed is just how many pixels my player moved)
Or just replace that with
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
sys.exit()
keys = pygame.key.get_pressed()
if keys[pygame.K_LEFT]:
player_pos[0]-=PLAYER_SPEED
if keys[pygame.K_RIGHT]:
player_pos[0]+=PLAYER_SPEED
PLAYER_SPEED being the number of pixel at which the player moves every tick. I added a menu where the player can buy some speed with coins they gather
Thanks for a such a great tutorial. I show this game to my mom and she was delighted while playing. That was the best part of it.
Aww that's awesome to hear :).
Managed to make it work! Enjoyed the video, thanks Keith
Thanks man. You really helped me creating my first python game. Your tutorials are very helpful and easy to follow along with. I’ve hit like and subscribe for your amazing tutorial. Keep up the good work. 👍
Just got done programming this game!You are amazing man! 👍🏿 🙂
WOW man, really loved the way you took us to the whole tutorial. amazing speech delivery and I understood each and everything which you stated. Whenever you added a new piece of code, I used to delete the whole file and write from my own understanding and as a result, it makes it easy for me to understand the whole code. Thanks a lot, man. Really a very very helpful video for anyone. Please upload more videos regarding python and gaming. Please... Thumbs up from my side. Salute to you.
Aww thanks so much! Going to work on releasing another game tutorial in the next couple months. I plan on having it focus on how to utilize Object Oriented Programming (classes) in game development
@@KeithGalli - ohh that will be more awesome. Just wanted to ask one thing, after we finish these type of videos, what should we do, in terms of improving ourselves? I hope, you understood my concern. I really want to learn python like hell. That's why I wanted to know

Loved it... really quick and practical intro to pygame. Much thanks!
with your help, I am able to build my first ever game in python. kudos to you.
thank you for making amazing python tutorial, Keith! It is greatly helpful & easy to understand!
Done with the course! Nice, clear, and comprehensive guide and clear voice! Big thumbs up! :D
Glad you enjoyed!!
this is one of the best tutorials. Thank you for making this. I really appreciate it.
@Keith Galli, you did a very good job!!! this was my first python game and it was very explanatory. I look forward in adding few more features to it as sound and background image. Thank you so much for this, hatts off to yor patience. It was fun learning with you and you expressions really were same as us!! I was very happy since i created that rectangle lol.

thanks for your lecture ,learn a lot from it
Thanks for great tutorial!
Here is my own collision conditional: if obj_y - (enemy_y + 50)
Thanks. I always learn something new watching your videos. My problem is I want to go from beginner to advanced immediately. I've decided to watch all of your videos even if I covered the same material on a different channel.
Loved the video.... super useful for me as a beginner to pygame. i tried other videos which were difficult to understand but you did make it seem really easy. Thanks a ton for this and a huge thumbs up from me 👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed! :) :)
bro you got this, your good at teaching
Im watching this during a middle school game jam basically and I'm new to coding so this is helpful its better than stealing code which I was doing.
Thank you for this Keith, it's a really interesting and fun script to follow along with; your style is methodical and approachable. In truth this lesson a little ahead of my skill level so, despite getting it all running great and generally understanding the functions, I think I need to step back and do some of the more basic stuff.
After watching your more recent videos, I hope life is treating you kindly.
Great tutorial once again Keith! I got an idea of adding a "shoot" function, so the player can fire and eliminate enemy blocks to get points instead of dodging them. Is that a doable project for a beginner? Or do I need deeper skills than your tutorial series here to pull that off?
You definitely can do it! It's just a matter of translating it into programming logic. Basically you can think of bullets very similar to the falling blocks (but in reverse) . You can leverage the collision function to see when bullets collide with specific blocks and then pop that block off of your enemy_list. It might not be easy to do at first, but challenging yourself is the best way to learn! :)
that was a good idead to be honest.
I just love how your camera is in higher framrate than your screen recording
Thanks man this was super useful!! Keep up the good work
Thanks, man. I'm new to python and learned quite a bit from this video.
I designed the background color so that it changes color slowly in the range of the whole color wheel :>
Had some difficulties and after everything was solved i decided to change the color changing speed from 9 to 2 but realized it wouldn't work since I had some numbers there that needed to be % 9 = 0 so i used the random.random() function to make it so that the color changing function goes through only 50% of the time. that way i didn't need to touch the code in order to change it's speed. Big brain.
Can I please get the code for that
@@jaydenaldum7419 yeah it's probably not that good since I had been coding for only a month at that time but it worked I guess...
looking back I think these were the parts that I did:
1. in the beginning of the code where the constants were:
RED = (255, 0, 0)
BLUE = (0, 0, 255)
YELLOW = (255, 255, 0)
BACKGROUND_COLOR = (0, 0, 0)
R = [255, 154]
G = [154, 255]
B = [154, 255]
2. under the "while not game over" part:
R, G, B = background_color(R, G, B)
rgb = (R[0], G[0], B[0])
screen.fill(rgb)
3. and the function was like this:
def background_color(R, G, B):
if random.random() < 0.5:
if B[0] < 253 and R[0] != 154 and G[0] != 255:
B[0] += 3
elif B[0] > 156 and R[0] == 154 and G[0] == 255:
B[0] -= 3
elif R[0] > 156 and G[0] != 255 and B[0] != 156:
R[0] -= 3
elif R[0] < 253 and G[0] == 255 and B[0] == 156:
R[0] += 3
elif G[0] < 253 and R[0] != 253 and B[0] != 156:
G[0] += 3
elif G[0] > 156 and R[0] == 253 and B[0] == 156:
G[0] -= 3
elif R[0] == 156 and G[0] == 253 and B[0] == 253:
R = [154, 255]
G = [255, 154]
B = [255, 154]
else:
R = [255, 154]
G = [154, 255]
B = [154, 255]
return R, G, B
(if you look at how the values of R, G and B change in the color wheel from the site, you can get an idea of what the code means. I think you can control the changing speed from "if random.random() < 0.5:"
by changing the 0.5 to 0.1 you can make it 5 times slower I think.)
@@Lyttii_ thz bro🔥🔥
Hey, Keith, I was wondering if you could change the color of the player rectangle along the progress at the game, like when you have 10 score its change the color of the player to green. I hope you could help me. btw very good video I learned a lot from it.
Glad you enjoyed video! :) So you can definitely do that. You should define a variable called playercolor that is initialized in the same way the other colors are. Instead of drawing the player as RED, you substitute in the playercolor we defined. Now as the score increases in the game you can add conditional statements to change the value of playercolor. So for example if you defined playercolor = (255,0,0) initially, you could add an if statement like if score == 10:
playercolor = (0,255,0). The printing of the player will use whatever playercolor was most recently set to. Hope this helps!
@@KeithGalli Thanks for the help, I glad you answered me!
Thanks, Keith: I am learning and getting better and better...!
your explanation is really nice keep up the awesome work
Is there an easy way to implement some simples images instead of those rectangles? without having to change the entire code? Nice work men, it helped me a lot
Read it up on the pygame documentation... I'm sure there's a way.
Hello Keith, how would you edit this code so that the player continuously moves in the left or right direction while the left/right arrow key is pressed down?
So in addition to the KEYDOWN event, there is also a KEYUP event. Basically you'll want to add some logic that says move left/right after you press keydown. That movement will continue until that same key is lifted up, triggering the KEYUP event. On the keyup event you'll want to stop the player motion. Does this help?
@@KeithGalli Thank you so much! I have successfully got the code to work.
That's awesome! Glad I could help :)
I've tried this as well, but I can't get it to work... Any tips?
@@beamjim1728 Do you still need help? Just seeing this now
Thanks again Keith! Super helpful stuff.
Keith, you are a good teacher. I would love to see some intermediate Python tutorials from you. Thanks!
Will start posting videos on more intermediate concepts as soon as I finish my Master's degree in May! I appreciate the support.
hi great video, i subbed
how can you turn the blocks into different characters.
I would like to know about it too :o
look into sprites for pygame i bet
Quick question: how do I set/ generate walls?
The enemies are generated on the screen but the block is not limited to the screen, sooo I can hide in one side(out of the screen) as the apocylapse happens ;)
Lol yeah you shouldn't be able to hide from the apocalypse! The easiest solution is to add an if statement to the logic that moves the player x position. The key press should only move the block left if the position is greater than zero and it should only move the block right if the position is less than the (screen width - player_size)
if player_pos[0] = Width - player_size[0] :
player_pos[0] = Width - player_size[0]
elif player_pos[1] = Height:
player_pos[1] = Height - player_size[1]
.....
try this , though cant figer out why u can escape from the right corners
if event.key == pygame.K_LEFT:
if x > 0:
x -= player_size
elif event.key == pygame.K_RIGHT:
if x < 750:
x += player_size
I really appreciate your transparency. Specifically, I think its great that you include look ups in your videos.

dude, you are the bomb diggity. i gave up after about 45 minutes but learned a whole bunch about python and pygame. I really am not in the mood to spend 3 hours going over an error because I lost sleep, so now i'll just move on, but thanks. (Now i know how to do collision!)
thank you very much for this such a good run through, i learnt a lot !!
Sometimes when I run the code and the player gets close to the enemy I lose.
you should try and remove the break command. that worked for me
the hitbox is messed up
Take it from me I made a mistake during first 20 minutes and I had to go back step by step to fix the code. Robots truly take everything littlerly
Thank you so much! I've learned a lot from this video.
The ease and the simplicity is another level in the video bro
Thank you for this from the bottom of my heart
Thanks for the tutorial, it was really helpful for me to learn python! But I've still got one question:
Why do you define "SPEED" as a constant? I thought constants are values that won't get changed throughout the program, but SPEED is changing.. please help! :D
So I think when I originally defined SPEED I didn't have plans for it to change, and then when I added set level, I didn't think too much about how I defined it. So you are correct, SPEED is not a constant and should not have been declared with all caps. Great question.

Make sure you include the line that resets the player position after you update x (player_pos = [x, y])

well explained and useful, i will check that website. thanks for your help with python!
Great video, thanks a lot. What was a surprise for me, was that when we made an enemy_list and called the intake? enemy_pos, I didn't know that in for-loops we have to use that. In the beginning, I just used 'for enemy in enemy_list ' and then spent some time wondering why it's not working. I compared our codes, and it took me a while, but I figured it out. :))
Its a great tutorial and learned a lot, Thanks!
I am also 13 years old and you helped me. But when I run this, it's showing an error
Then find out what line and correct it 😑
Hello, I found this guide fun to explore. Thanks for giving us such content.
P.S. at the collision function, it would be much easier to just use
"if abs (p_x - e_x) < player_size and abs (p_y - e_y) < player_size"
Great Video .Kieth you have good skills at teaching programming language. I hope you will continue to deilver your ideas in programming language like python
Dude, just this tutorial helped me make the connection between the theoretical garbage in my Python book and the actual practical application I want to make. Thanks!

Thanks a lot , Your videos are really helpful.
Had a small time understanding but i guess i need more practice but either way you are a great teacher Keith
Good job Keith, conditions for detect_collision function could be just simpler as below
if E_y> HEIGHT-Player_size:
pass
elif E_y > P_y-Enemy_size and abs(E_x-P_x)
Cool video with a lot of good content. Would have been nice to set bounds on the player movement (I just added a few and statements to the KEYDOWN event conditionals) so they can't move outside the screen as well as a game over window (Still working on this so it displays High Scores).
Great video.
Quick question, what shortcut do you use to comment multiple lines?
I love this tutorial cause I want to learn to how to how to make a game and this is just cool
This helped me a lot, Thanks!!
Glad to hear it! :)
To not go out of bounds:
if event.key==pygame.K_LEFT and x> 0:
x -=player_size
elif event.key==pygame.K_RIGHT and x
Thanks
Ugh thank god for you. Thank you for teaching me this easy system so I can make some cool games.
"easy" well good luck 2 u
Keith we need some more game tutorials
Thanks for the tutorial!
THANKS SO MUCH! Ii am so happ that you gave me the pygame.org website that make understand more what is happening!
Thanks man for sharing, i learned a lot from your videos. Keep it up!
i like your style teaching...❤️👍👍👍
Thanks for the tutorial.
I'm using Visual Studio and my drop enemies function doesn't stop after the if statement. The function includes everything below it.
Thankyou, I was able to create this Game
Thanks Keith, learning Python and following your tutorials to help me gauge my progress. Still wouldn't be able to build from scratch.
For those interested, I added code to make the PLAYER stop at the edges of the screen.
In the GAME LOOP. EVENT TYPE, ADD the code after AND.....
if event.key == pygame.K_LEFT and x > (WIDTH-WIDTH): #MAKES block stop at x = 0.
x -= player_size[0] #moves block by player size, which is 50, put in 5 to see how slow.
pass
elif event.key == pygame.K_RIGHT and x < (WIDTH-player_size[0]):
# makes block stop at x 800 - 50
x += player_size[0]
pass
PS. my variable for player_size[50, 50]. Thats why I call the index player_size[0]. whereas Keith only used player_size = 50.
please let me know if there is a more polished way to achieve this. Im still such a NOOB.
Your ARe AMAZING EVERY PART OF YOU THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH MY VERY FIRST GAME :)))))))))))))))
