help with game

[hammza]

This needs big changes.
A class for the ship and a class for the bullet.
Each class take care of the position x and y and has a draw/update function.
Then you need a function which is called every 1/100s.
This function calls all updates functions from your ship and from many bullets.

You should google for ping pong. If you understand ping pong,
you can also code your game.
See https://gist.github.com/calebrob6/4022622

Thank for your advice

here an example

import tkinter as tk

SCREEN = 600, 400
        
class Bullet:
    def __init__(self, canvas, x, y, tk_fill, movement):
        self.bullet = canvas.create_oval(x -3 , y - 3, x + 3, y + 3, fill=tk_fill)
        self.movement = movement
        
    def move(self, canvas):
        canvas.move(self.bullet, self.movement[0], self.movement[1])

class App(tk.Frame):
    def __init__(self, master):
        # put canvas in frame so you can have other goodies
        tk.Frame.__init__(self, master)
        self.pack()
        self.canvas = tk.Canvas(self, width=SCREEN[0], height=SCREEN[1])
        self.canvas.pack()
        self.bullets = []# store bullets
        self.tick_loop() # start the tick loop
        self.ship = self.create_ship(300, 370, "blue")
        
        master.bind("<Left>", self.go_left)
        master.bind("<Right>", self.go_right)

        master.bind("<Down>", self.go_down)
        master.bind("<space>", self.space_key)

        return self.canvas.create_polygon(x, y, x - 20, y + 30, x + 20, y + 30, fill=tk_fill)
        
    def tick_loop(self):
        remove_list =
        for enum, bullet in enumerate(self.bullets):
            if self.canvas.coords(bullet.bullet)[1] < 0:
                remove_list.append(enum)
                self.canvas.delete(bullet.bullet)
            else:
                bullet.move(self.canvas)
                
        for index in remove_list:
            self.bullets.pop(index)
    
        # framerate per seconds 1000/30 = 30 frames roughly
        self.after(int(1000/30), self.tick_loop)        
        
    def go_left(self, event):
        self.canvas.move(self.ship, -5, 0)
        self.canvas.update()
        
    def go_right(self, event):
        self.canvas.move(self.ship, 5, 0)
        self.canvas.update()
        
    def go_up(self, event):
        self.canvas.move(self.ship, 0, -5)
        self.canvas.update()
        
    def go_down(self, event):
        self.canvas.move(self.ship, 0, 5)
        self.canvas.update()
        
    def space_key(self, event=0):
        # only want the first two coords
        x, y = self.canvas.coords(self.ship)[:2]
        # just having shoot straight up
        self.bullets.append(Bullet(self.canvas, x, y, "blue", (0, -10)))

def main():
    root = tk.Tk()
    app = App(root)
    app.mainloop()
    
if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Don't like how keypress working but here it is.
Would be easier in pygame or pysfml.

That's a great help from you, thank you very much for the codes


Please can you tell me where did learned all this, or do you know any tutorials or books that help begginers to reach this advanced levels.

---

What i want is how to make it shoot like (space invaders), I don't know how to use coords, and I didn't found any good tutorial or explanation.

Thats because no one uses tkinter to make games. There is a better library to handle that kind of software and it called pygame. In fact, we have a tutorial on how to make a ship shoot like space invaders on this forum. Tkinter is a GUI library mainly for building window form apps.

Thank you for your advice


I know about pygame, but I don't want to use it

I want to learn how to use pure python with less libraries, just the important ones like tkinter canvas and built in functions.

I want to learn how to make games just like old style was, with functions.

I want to learn how to use pure python with less libraries

You are actually not using pure python as tkinter is not apart of the standard library. Only Windows comes packaged with tkinter and you can even opt out of installing it in the python installer. Linux you have to install it like any other 3rd party lib. If you compile python on windows, tkinter is not apart of it.

The first paragraph briefly explains this
https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/tkinter.html

So you are already using a 3rd party module. Its just the build you installed, already has that 3rd party library with it.

[Windspar]

I want to learn how to make games just like old style was, with functions.

    Almost all program language have some type of structures. Python and old style is not going to work.
Python has built in polymorph. Almost all python is object base. An modern programming helps reduce size of code.
    Take classes. Add a namespace to object and create many different objects quickly. Methods are just function wrap in a class. You always could check out assembly code for old programming.
linux nasm assembly example

Hide/Show

; nasm hello asm

; nasm -f elf hello.asm
; ld -m elf_i386 hello.o -o hello


SECTION .data
msg db 'Hello World!', 0Ah
msg2 db 'Hello, brave new world!', 0Ah

SECTION .text
global _start

_start:
    mov    edx, 13
    mov ecx, msg
    mov ebx, 1        ; stdout
    mov eax, 4        ; system write
    int 80h
    
    mov ebx, msg2
    mov eax, ebx

; count    char in string
nextchar:
    cmp byte [eax], 0
    jz finished
    inc eax
    jmp nextchar
    
finished:
    sub eax, ebx
    
    mov edx, eax
    mov ecx, msg2
    mov ebx, 1        ; stdout
    mov eax, 4        ; system write
    int 80h
    
    ; exit call
    mov ebx, 0
    mov eax, 1
    int 80h

in python

print("Hello World!")
print("Hello, brave new world!")

Please can you tell me where did learned all this, or do you know any tutorials or books that help begginers to reach this advanced levels.

I learn by making little programs.
Testing one thing to death.
learn by runtime errors. 
using print(dir(on object)) to see there variables and methods and builtins
read docs and code

There is no magic formula to making programs.
nothing but commands and pushing and altering numbers around.
strings are nothing but numbers.

I don't call this advance stuff. Just basic python.

[heiner55]

I like these books:

Found no solution to tkinter annoying keypress. Just compare tkinter vs pysfml.
Here pysfml example. I would recommend pygame because of better docs.

@metulburr yeah for some reason i thought showing how it works in tkinter would be better. Instead showing what possible with pygame and pysfml. Still looking for a way to do it in tkinter. If there one. Unless it a linux side problem.

@hammza
Hope this help to show you has basic this is. Added more comments.
Anything you think is still advanced let me know. I show you how basic it is.

Thank you very mush Windspar

Iam sorry, I was busy last weeks


The last code is just perfect, and exactly what I was looking for, just pure code without pygame or any game library.


So making games with only tkinter and canvas is possible

I hope I can reach your level programming man

I worked on the background and the Land, but I don't know how to make it work simultaneously

I think I should use threading but I didn't find a good tutorial explains it easily .


I'll put the code sooner .
