How do you make 2d yet 3d game

Great video! Very helpful! I notice that nobody teaches how to apply lighting effects to rectangles. For example, I have an image (i.e. of lava) and I need there to be a glow above the image. I want the glow to have a gradient (from opaque to transparent). Is there a simple, clean way to do this using just Pygame? Again, thanks for touching on the subject of lighting!

Amazing Game! Is there a video for the game's initial setup and the coding?

Decompose the problem into sub problems

This looks fantastic, although sounds like a huge project. How long are you expecting to work on this?

Smashed the “Add to wishlist” button… this looks like a hilariously fun game… can’t wait to see the released version

Haven't watched the video yet but I see no python but C#

There is also a pygame snippets extention in vs code for anybody who wants intellisense

Oh goth I wanted a cellular automata game for years, since I learned about them! Maybe you could make a beta branch, so we don't have to wait lill you make it perfect? It could also help you hone out any issues, more people testing is always good!

why tf did you put hte discord noise at the start, made me look away and try to see who tf is messaging me haha

I am going through OpenGL hell. :D I call it that cause its when you just start learning OpenGL and you bombarded with solving the 4th dimension. Its hard.

The centipedes could’ve had the same form of movement as the google snake game. It would make them seem more connected to cellular automata based enemies since they would both follow a grid. You could also add another long enemy that has the google snake movement & keep centipedes the same

I have my own yawn OC

There is a wonderful Russian proverb: Every family has its black sheep (I don’t know if Google translated it correctly :)). If we apply this proverb to PyGame, then the person responsible for the development and the site ruined everything, because. turned out to be politically inadequate. This applies not only to programming, but also to other areas. For example, in the field of 3D modeling there are two famous people (I won’t name names, they recognize themselves) who are also politically inappropriate and block everyone whose views do not coincide with their views. I always believed that politics should not affect all other areas, especially something free, which is an example of free software, but I was very wrong. But who do these people harm? Only for myself.

Even though i'm in 9th and don't have clue what mathematics you talked about it "inspired" me to go look up what are matrices and how to do matrix multiplication. Good vid !!

I love how this played out! As a biologist that has worked with agent based models... I hope you get some more ideas on mechanics related to the cellular automata! ;)

wow, "raise the roof" - what a brilliant idea:D

who else was super confused by the discord msg sound at he beginning? ↓

I learned more from this tutorial than my past 2 years of python classes

My dude finally getting sponsors and pulling in the big money 🗣️ congrats

You should set the shadows resolution to 16x16 so it be pixelated to match the games art style better

Lists in Javascript are called arrays.

What about pygame community edition(CE)?

I still stand by my assertion that shaders are witchcraft and nothing can convince me otherwise.

“cant wait to add latinas or something” 😂😂😂

This was a fun watch, thanks for sharing your journey, i'll keep an eye out for Yawnoc :)

bro please make tutorial about pixel art I love your style

The sequel of this game must be something with lenia, a smooth cellular automata

Huh. Very cool!

Waitwaitwaitwaitwait - YOU CREATED THIS IN PYGAME!?!?

for some reason, on self.img.set_colorkey = (0, 0, 0) it gives me an error message about an attribute error, been giving me a migraine for the past hour edit: FIXED! Turns out the line above had an extra ')' when it only needed one.

Coffeescript language is the best for making games. It has a python like syntax but alot faster than python.

for 3 weeks this is insane. i wish i had this much creativity and could implement it this quickly

My coding skills are sadly very poor . My excuse is that I am disabled and my brain doesn't work very well but I think that is just an excuse . I need some help learning to code . I do not just want to learn coding I want to understand it . I although I do not have a very good grasp on coding I know a little bit of object oriented programming . It has been like 7 years since I started programming and I still do not know how good a program I can write .

Game of Life begs for a goo enemy.

Missed the chance to call is “Conway’s Game of Death”

It would be nice to at the end you both mix your games into one with that different styles 😗

i think stuff like the "rule confirmation cognitive bias" (see the veritasium video for a better explanation) is one of the things that helped me the most during CS they also made it so you do stuff youself a lot, like making games in pygame (while only being told about the library and the incentive to work with a gameloop function)

GG

please do not use the unaltered discord notification sound in videos. i was going crazy going around the servers and channels to find the message that mysteriously didn't have a visual notification. only to find out it was from your video.

"I knew i would not win on visuals" literally one of the prettiest games ive ever seen in my life

The fact that you had Discord notifications in your actual video made me think I was losing my mind.

I live in Belgium, specifically the Walloon region where we're french speakers. The job market is small and often requires a bachelor or even a master degree. I found a job as a software developer way before the end of my bachelor degree, (end of my 2nd year, out of the 4 of the degree, because it's a evening one.). This means that it is definitely possible to find a job without said degree, nor even good connexions (I had none, I'm from a blue collar family). However, this required a lot of dedication to self-study aside of the classes, aswell as learning the ropes of professional communication through LinkedIn and such. The amount of work required can be quite daunting, and if you suffer from attention deficit like me, you may triple the time invested. Lacking support from close people can also be tough, anyone near me, beside my class mates, are completely clueless about software development, or even computers in general. The job itself isn't exactly what I wanted, I essentially debug existing legacy softwares from an insurance company. It's not the usual dream of young software engineers that is usually focussed on Big Tech, but it pays the bills (my initial goals) and it's also a stepping stone, for, hopefully, better opportunities. So yeah, this is my journey so far, I see it as some sort of proof that pushing through hardship is worth it, but has a price. Nothing comes from free, sometimes life isn't easy and you have to build the ladder yourself to reach the apple you want to eat. As of today I am still studying to finish my degree aside of my job.

Shaders go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I Must play it.... Congrats ❤

That's crazy, the other day I was playing with a graphical library and ended up doing the Conway's Game of Life. While I was observing the cells moving around I thought, holy moly, a really nice game could be done using this as inspiration, and then I find this video, RUclips algorithm is sometimes amazing. And by the way, the game looks really cool, I'm looking forward to play it. Also congratulations for winning!

Very interesting concept. Can I fight the enemies with Gosper’s glider gun? :)

I don't think you could say this is "just Python"... But it is remarkable anyway.

Is your point of origin fixed? In infinite world you have to shift shadow matrix correctly, otherwise there's unstability of shadows when the sun goes down
