A prototype of a game using pygame

Hello there! I'm a student undetaking furhter education in science and I love anything related to astrophysics 🪐. Though when I'm not looking up some physics phenomenon I enjoy coding 🖥️. This Github account is meant as a collection of my learning projects. With every project I try something new, be it the language, the tooling or the designs used! If you stumble upon something you like feel free to contribute or star it 🌟.

pixelbrawl's Issues

Add a generic setting replacer function

It would be nice to have a generic function to change some setting variables instead of having to put the same line of code each time the file is accessed.

Player is wriggling

Player sprites are wriggling which is pretty straining for the eyes. This happens every time the player is standing onto a platform. The player seems to be getting in and out of non-crossable.

Can't scale game

There is no option to extend the window or scale the resolution.

Moving sprite can cross non-crossable

All moving sprites (players & bullets tested) can cross non-crossable. This only happens when the sprite moves fast of when the platform is thin.

Shooting Interval

Currently players shoot all "bullets per second" consecutively then stop until getting to the next second. Change counter to make shooting interval regularly spaced.

Add sound

Adding sound to the game would give it a nice additional dimension. This should be easily done with the pygame.mixer module. Also if anyone whishes to contribute to give sounds I'm open to proposals.

More ergonomic GUI widgets

Add a contour to all GUI widgets to make them more readable & clean.

Transparency issues

Some pixels which are supposed to be transparent are either black, white or blue.

can't change controls in settings

You can't change the used keys.

Can't get a function to get data from InputField with screen_loader()

There is no way to recover the data returned from an InputField created with screen_loader(). Adding a way to attach it to a function or another sprite would be nice. Especially to change settings which requires to modify the data in several ways and call some other functions from main.py.

Missing pygame events ?

Many times functions test if a certain variable of a sprite isn't None and if it's True, the function grabs the required data. Making pygame custom events would make the code cleaner and more performant. It would also solve "nested modules" issues.

Consice issue description

General layout

More in depth description of the issue. All issues must be related to the latest version
If it's a gameplay issue: add a paragraph describing how to reproduce the bug.
If it's a runtime issue please precise the platform you're running under. Meaningful information is:

• OS
• if you're running form source (if so also precise the python & pygame version used) or from compiled code

Please always at least add a GUI/GFX/gameplay and a bug/enhancement label or the issue will be discarded.
If your issue is a feature request or a request to change a behavior of the game please tag it with the enhancement label.

Information

Some precisions on issues types:

• bug is an issue breaking playability and/or user experience. It can lead to a runtime error
• runtime is any issue which makes the game crash or prevents it from lunching
• gameplay is an issue related to gameplay such as movement, collisions... Everything that you think shouldn't happen this way
• GFX anything which is related to sprite images issues. Not to mistake with GUI
• GUI anything related to the GUI (Graphical User Interface)
