Thank you for your kind feedback. Nice to see this comment. I have been using this OOP approach for a lot of projects lately. I like it because it's simple and easy to keep it clean. Good to hear somebody else agrees :)

Have you converted a JS codebase into Python before? I haven't tried yet because I don't use Python very often, but it should be quite straightforward

@@Frankslaboratory I have done several such projects. Most of the logic here, and in other stuff like sand games or CGOL is just math. Drawing stuff, pygame has rough equivalents for most stuff you'd use in canvas, for those that don't you can still work it out in python or pygame. As an example, you'd extract your image data by loading said image into pygame as a surface, then reading from it as a surfarray. That gives you a x/y grid representation of the colors in the image. Then you can draw it however you like, or manipulate it as you've shown here. Using numpy to help is not a bad idea. It's pretty efficient at grid based stuff, so you can take that extracted data and draw it anywhere on the grid, scale it, manipulate it, whatever.

@@DrummingDivingPythonProgrammer It's good to know that there are equivalents of the more specialized methods, or at least a workaround, like you just described, that allows us to achieve a similar result. I will try to make something in it as well when I have time, sounds like a fun thing to learn

@@Frankslaboratory it can occasionally be a challenge trying to figure out stuff that uses specific libraries in other languages. You don't do that. You do raw code. Where you make calls to canvas/ctx/blah, I make calls to pygame. It's basically the same thing in the end, even if we take a slightly different path to get there. Pygame can draw images, filled rects, empty rects, other shapes, a lot like you'd do with javascript. But, it's still python. It takes a good bit of work to get the same sort of performance you can get out of javascript or a compiled language. It is possible, though. I've got a falling sand game for example that can run at higher grid dimensions than powdertoy, even though I don't have nearly as many particles or interactions yet. My conway's implementation can handle 1.4m pixels without breaking a sweat. This is single threaded without any gpu acceleration. Many people believe python is too slow for games. This is...misleading, at best. It can work, but you've got to put some time in learning how to take advantage of what python can do, and what its libraries like numba and numpy can do.

Same here, I make everything from scratch on this channel

Hi. Very happy to see this comment. Thank you for taking the time to let me know. It's a good hobby to have, we can play and learn at the same time 😆

@@Frankslaboratory making the learning process fun and engaging is the best way for people to better themselves. That’s why I appreciate great teachers like you so very much. Keep up the amazing content!!!

Hi Javi, you are getting advanced, especially if you are able to follow Radu's latest series. He keeps surprising us with what he can do with code

@@Frankslaboratory Indeed. I am still getting my head around how network works. I couldn't have done it without doing your tutorial first. I'm already looking forward to your next game because I know it is going to be multilevel.

Glad you found some value Daniel

I was having a lot of fun with this one

I'm here to help! :)

Hi Jesus. Yup. Playing too much Baldurs Gate 3 😆😆

Can't blame you, I am only about 30 hours in and still in act 1, it is a huge game. So much to do, do you have a favorite class? 😁@@Frankslaboratory

I played through act 1 around 5 times already because it was available in early access since 2020. It can go very differently depending on which choices you make. My favourite build is Karlach barbarian build where you throw enemies around. What is yours.

@@Frankslaboratory I can't believe all of the updates they keep making to this game even after full release. Actual epilogue content and sounds like they will be releasing more. That Karlach build sounds really fun, I'm doing a beast master hunter with levels into fighter for multiple actions. Karlach is still my MVP even as a regular barbarian build.

Hi John. Nice to see you here. Hope you have fun I enjoyed preparing planning and recording this one

I had a feeling someone might find it useful :D

Very kind to say

Very happy to hear that, thank you for taking the time to let me know

Thank you very much!

Hi. Glad you found some value. I was having a lot of fun with this one

Happy to hear

Sometimes its easier than it looks when you the the base techniques 😊

Glad you think so Alexey

Thank you 😍!

Thank you

Thank you Youssef 😊 💓

Thank you Sue ❤

Hi Fanaro. Great tip thank you. Will use it next time !

More performant for sure, I don't see how it would be smaller. Webgl is so much code to draw even simple shapes, did I miss some new developments in the world of webgl? Will check.

Uncle F is here to help :D

Glad you like them Doug

You win! :)

Sure. Looking forward to see that

Conditionally pass draw image identical but black and white image for some cells, or apply global composite operation to a portion of canvas. Probably there are other ways this is just from the top of my head

@@Frankslaboratory I am not that smart , can u give me exact code and where i have to put that code ,please sir 😶

And was it challenging to follow the class?

Hi Tony, yes, I certainly don't want people to get frustrated from a random typo. I will start providing source code I think. My extended classes on Udemy always provide source code already.

Who knows what AI will be able to do in the next 5 years, it's not that good to take my job yet :D
