Tim, not many people out there teach code in such a comprehensive and easy to digest manner like you do. Most tutorials are really hard to follow and the person teaching is either super unorganized, or just really bad at teaching in general for many reasons. But you get it dude, and people like me (people who wanna learn,) appreciate it a ton
i am new to python and pygame but i can say it has been the best 43 min of my time with coding.. and i never thought i will go through the day without using print() message = "good bye!!" print(message)
Pygame has been a lot of fun to learn... I'm still in the learning phase but the gears are already turning when thinking of new ideas to try and implement. Thank you for the great help... it only gets clear with practice and good guidance like you provide here 👍
To be as knowledgeable as you clearly are and still be able to dumb it down enough to communicate that knowledge to a complete beginner is a rare skill. You made this SO easy. Thank you!
My boyfriend is super excited about teaching me how to code so I'm making a game to surprise him. This tutorial is super easy to follow and I am so thankful that you explain what the code does as you go through the steps for newbies like me. This is so helpful 🙏🙏
THIS WAS THE BEST TUTORIAL EVER I HAVE GONE THROUGH OVER 50 VIDEOS AND I ALWAYS GIVE UP BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO HARD BUT THIS WAS A VERY SIMPLE YET FUN PROJECT! TY SO MUCH KEEP IT GOING!
After watching just 2 of you videos, the "Learn Python with this one project" you made 5 months ago, and this one I decided to write the code to print a full times table to the console (will do it to a game window next) and I spaced all the numbers correctly in the console so they appear in nice columns... single digits and double digits made the spacing all wrong. Nothing fancy but its little bits like this that build familiarity with the syntax. My goal with pygame is to build a spirograph style project as I remember spending all my lunch breaks on the schools BBC micro in the science labs when I was 15 playing with the code to generate the images the time and effort you put into these tutorials is greatly appreciated and I will be going through all your videos to aid my learning journey.
Tim, thank you very much for this great tutorial. I got so addicted over the weekend that I changed the game to run in full screen, added sounds and music, lives, etc. As you said, it is great starting point and as well a real good example to give pupils an intro into programming on a fun way.
TIm, thank you so much for all of your great videos. They've been great for me to follow along and learn python. I wish you have an extended part of this video or a connected video that went into putting a graphic sprite as you mentioned so you could have more than just a red block. I went nerdy and made my background a space and TARDIS image and themed the messages and name from Doctor Who, but I am not nearly advanced enough to know how to change it to a sprite.
This was honestly such a fun tutorial! I now have a functional game that I can show off and mess with to try to work on my code abilities! Thank you! I was also able to add a lot of your descriptions as to why you put certain things where you did that way I can reference back to it if needed! Great tutorial!
Hey Tim! I just wanted to say how much I appreciate these videos! I am using them to learn python and it's going well for me. I'm about halfway done with this one rn, I look forward to following many more of you're tutorials! Thanks again.
This tutorial was amazing and even turned it into a game about traversing a asteroid belt, I managed to replace the squares with images and now all I need to do is figure out on making a menu, and import audios along with a small tutorial box at the start
Incredible tutorial Tim!! The only thing that would have been more helpful for me to understand would probably be adding doc strings for functions and a few in line comments.
Really grateful for this video. I had a bit of a rocky start and I had to rewind about 50 times because I was making errors but you explained everything clearly and concisely. I've got a long way to go but you have helped me take my first few steps on realizing some daft and hopefully fun ideas Thanks again :)
This is nice, normally i thought python would be hard compared to CSS but with this lesson, i realized that it is actually simpler than i expected. From me to you, "Dude, I love your tutorials"!!!!!!
Wanted to make a comment to house the code. Fantastic tutorial. I recommend watching other videos on python to simply get an understanding of loops and variables. Then coming back. Makes the whole thing a lot more understandable !!
If your on a more current version of pygame or python, you may have to change the keys script. Try doing ‘if keys()[pygame.K_LEFT]:’ instead of ‘if keys[pygame.K_LEFT]:’
Really nice tutorial! If you guys finished this tutorial, try to figure out how to make game restart automatically after you got hit by "star" and then try to add score system. You learn best when you have to figure out thing on your own :)
Tim, you have done a really great job of teaching this game to me I am very new to using pygame and I found this quite hard to do until I saw your video just one suggestion if you could also post some video's on customizing this game it would help a lot :)
Thank you very much for helping me/us learn to code in this practical and explanatory way. You are clear and direct with your explanations and provide a good basis to move on from.
the stars wont delete after they collide with the player. I think i made a mistake or something but other than that your explination and everything was on point and perfect
this was a good project. thank you for sharing this. I have been a lot of the day going through this and even tinkering with the moving the character. I even added the up and down feature to play around with it just to see how that would work. But changed it back to just left and right. so much you can do with just what you showed here. thanks. and thanks again. only one problem I have with this is that my "stars" seem to be rotated the wrong way. lol. makes it a bit harder I guess. But awesome.
Tim, our master, Is this significantly beginner-friendly? To ensure everyone can follow through on the projects and videos you post daily, please give us some insight into the necessary prerequisites. We love you keep up the good work.
This isn't beginner friendly. You should already know about variables, functions, loops and be able to write some small logic in order to visual how everything is working in ur mind, otherwise you will probably feel lost. This is probably low intermediate to medium intermediate level
I got so many things wrong while doing this > < but I pushed through and hunted down my errors Great tutorial! very good for getting to grips with the simple elements needed for game making.
yo I'm not going to lie, I'm a new programmer and this vid don't go into to while loops that much, But it made me understand while loops more then a video on them. Great job!
Thank you so much for this introduction to game programming in Python. Nice tutorial with all the necessary knowledge. I very much appreciate your effort. THANK YOU.🙂
can you make gamedev tutorials with languages which are commonly used in the gamedev industry? like without a game engine but with opengl or sdl for example? there are other tutorials out there but I've been watching you since 2016 and you're way of teaching is much better than anyone else
I think the if hit statement should come after draw function because we want our players to see the collision or else there will be a gap between the player and the star when the game ends
such a good and helpful video but i would loove if u had shown how we can use a custom sprite.. i had to spend a lot of time on that and ended up using chatgpt but otherwoise amazing video
You can use functions, and if you want a menu and more thing, you should create a main function first and in that function you initialize pygame, and to change between menu, game,etc, you need to create more functions inside the main each one with it's individual while True loop
And of course the variables, for pygame related variables you can create them in the main func, and call it from any place, but for normal variables you need to create them in the function where it will be used.
(Not yet finished the video) My ambition for my project is creating a game using python instead my end-of-the-semester exam. I have little experience with creating games, and my python knowledge is lacking in places but I suppose the only one stopping me is me!
Thanks for the video. I always loved your videos keep it up. made the whole project and learnt a lot about pygame. never seen any tutorial like this on pygame
Could you explain why you have to do the star_count += clock.tick(60)? Couldnt you just do star_count += 5 or something since it's already in the main loop?
Nice ...I did watch the whole video ...at 1.25x but, I did something similar on the commodore 64 a few years back. relearning python now ...correction, learning python, it has come a long, long way since I was a programmer,

message = "good bye!!"
print(message)
or you can just print("goodbye!") or am i missing something?
@@ok.9516 u can but it looks more professional to write a variable for some reason
@@ok.9516, yes but it looks more advanced, that's why.
@@ok.9516 Yes you can do that, but they're making a joke.
@@ok.9516 its just good practice to use variables

For anyone who's recently upgraded to Python 3.11, you'll need to add --pre to your pip command until they update PyGame.
That explains a lot... been having issues especially while debugging
add how/where? beginning? end?
@Joshua Rose very helpful to a beginner thank you
@Joshua Rose and where can one find this documentation?
do you say --prepip install pygame? doesn't work for me i'm confused
THIS WAS THE BEST TUTORIAL EVER I HAVE GONE THROUGH OVER 50 VIDEOS AND I ALWAYS GIVE UP BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO HARD BUT THIS WAS A VERY SIMPLE YET FUN PROJECT!
TY SO MUCH KEEP IT GOING!
Are you taking ap csp
what is that????@@marc8451

This is the first tutorial I got all the way through for Python. Very well made, thank you.
As a beginner python coder: your tutorials help me so much. Keep making them!

First attempt, first game. Excellent tutorial, Your style of teaching is brilliant. Thank you very much!
Incredible tutorial Tim!! The only thing that would have been more helpful for me to understand would probably be adding doc strings for functions and a few in line comments.
I finished the game, and I wasn't able to do the text, as I was using too old a version of python but I got it working and it's great! thanks!

I'm so happy I made this. I feel like I really got a foot in the door for game dev
Keep it up broo....I REALLY LOVE YOUR TUTORIAL

Sat here watching this and this type of game was one of the first games I ever made when I got my 16k ram pack for my ZX-81
Thanks man. Learned a lot from this tutorial, keep it up!
I just made a strategy game in Python. Very happy.
the stars wont delete after they collide with the player. I think i made a mistake or something but other than that your explination and everything was on point and perfect
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE TUTORIAL! now I can flex my work to my Big Bro!
I enjoy coding along with different projects, learn something new each time. Thank You
Glad you enjoy it!
I've been learning a lot from your videos. Many thanks from South Korea!
Could you make a video about python subprocess library ??
this was a good project. thank you for sharing this. I have been a lot of the day going through this and even tinkering with the moving the character.

@@JoyBoyLaughs I mean can you walk though the project without any pygame knowledge. Now I think you got the point.
Well, this is the first pygame tutorial that actually made sense to me, thanks!!
You motivated me to make my own channel and teach programming. And so I did !! ))
I love this tutorial!
A real kickstart into Python if you already have some programming knowledge :)
Watched one video and already Subscribing. You make python language a lot easier than what im learning it in a duolingo type way.
This was my first experience of using pygame and it was good
I got so many things wrong while doing this > < but I pushed through and hunted down my errors
Great tutorial! very good for getting to grips with the simple elements needed for game making.
i cant run the game it says pygame.rect.Rect' object has no attribute 'append' can someone pls help me?
If there were a contest for the longest ads on a post you would win hands down!!!

I'll consider it for sure!
Thanks for this awesome tutorial Tim, I needed this :)
Thanks tim made the game watched till the end always love your videos
Yoo thank you so much I've been wanting to learn pygame for so long!
I think the if hit statement should come after draw function because we want our players to see the collision or else there will be a gap between the player and the star when the game ends
For some reason the stars only fall when I am moving and specifically moving right do you know how to fix it?
Thank you very much for this video I really needed it! And you have great content! Subbed you

my first time using python! thank you!
thanks for going step by step. I'm very new to this!
AMAZING TUTORIAL!!
such a good and helpful video but i would loove if u had shown how we can use a custom sprite.. i had to spend a lot of time on that and ended up using chatgpt but otherwoise amazing video
That point u said if u reached this point u have tried boosted my morale to finish it 🏋️
THANKS TIM................................LOVE FROM PAKISTAN
Coding with Tim. Sounds like excellent game title.😊
Loved it! Thank you
Extreamly good explanation with good examples. Keep it up!
That's why it's The GOAT!! THE GOAT!!!!!!!!
TWT majoring on the majors! Pygaming like a BOSS!
It was a very good session learned a lot 🎉
Worked well loving ur tutorials. Having a problem, I want the game to continue and not exit after losing

Brilliant yet simple tutorial ! Thanks, Tim !
Thank you so much tim
broski going godspeed
thanks man taught me alot
Hi Tim
I m trying to program tetris . I don't know much about programming. What would you recommend to watch first before starting .
Thanks
Thanks brother for the tutorial
really good intro
Thanks my guy!
Hello Tim! I am trying to begin python and I don't know where to code, what is the website you are using??
VS Code
very nice some pot holes but I enjoyed it
I am begginer and after watching this video i have come to know that how the python intresting is
(Not yet finished the video)
My ambition for my project is creating a game using python instead my end-of-the-semester exam. I have little experience with creating games, and my python knowledge is lacking in places but I suppose the only one stopping me is me!
You`re so good, the goat.
My ex was also a python. Used to play games all the time.
Yo. That's some great stuff 🤣🤣
Ok what
Wait.. What?? You dated a 🐍??🤣
you hurtin' my guy😂
and you are still alive 😆
cool video)
Thanks for the video. I always loved your videos keep it up. made the whole project and learnt a lot about pygame. never seen any tutorial like this on pygame

Hi getting erro with for event in pygame.event.get():
Screen popping up but disappearing. Doesn't stay there like you said.
Any idea how to fix?
Hi Tim. I am trying to learn python but I think I am using the wrong python shell. Can you please tell me which software you are using?
hey tim can you make a tutorial on godot? it's like unity but for python, you can make 3d games with it
perfect ❤
Hey, good morning
