If you are getting an error like "no module named pygame" or "pip is not recognised", then there may be an issue with your python install. This short video shows how to fix those errors: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zt6PgKh815azeoU.html

Genuinely, you’re a lifesaver. I was stressing so much about the complexity of Pygame, but this tutorial gave me such a good start. Thanks!

I've been studying Data Analytics and been skipping Python so much to learn other things due to the Syllabus, and I really wanted to go back to learn more about the functionality of Python for other things. This tutorial made it fun, with concepts I am familiar with, but just focusing on other cool things we can do with Python. Thank you so much! It lightened my face and made my day.

I can say as a beginner to pygame and pythoon as a whole. This was a easy tutorial to follow.

I started using Python for my work as a scientist and now I can also use if for my passion of games :D thank you alot for this introduction!

Brilliant! this is what a tutorial should be, neither over nor under-explaining. (and now I have a natty little red box on my screen and i'm going to make it eat things now!)

Im following your platformer tutorials they are great! I started coding 9 daysa ago and they are easy to follow and awseome! at school we were learning about print('hello world') and its so cool seeing myself progress with your tutorials as you explain whats happening so im learning not just copying thanks you so so much your awsome

Hi, Russ! Thanks for this. FYI, in Thonny, you have to capitalise the True and False in the code for it to work.

Great tutorial, thank you very much! I played the final result for about 15 minutes!

One of the best explanations of the needed basic elements to start a Pygame project. Thanks a bunch!

I wanted to try pygame and this video helped me with understanding pygame. Thanks!

Dude, this was freaking fun. Thanks for the tutorial. It may look like it is from the Atari years, but the feeling of creating this is great!. Cheers!

Straight to the point and crystal clear, thanks alot !

Thank you so much, I was clicking video after video until I saw yours. Great work!

Great tutorial. Perfect for peoples who never used pygame before what to know how to get started.

thanks, I needed to draw rectangles for a chart so I thought to use pygame and this is the only tutorial that is not an hour long, lifesaver

very nice thank you for sharing your knowledge (also have to say, as someone who's spent far too long being tortured by c++ build systems, python is a nice change; yeah, yeah, performance will be an issue many times but for what i'm trying to do python's just fine - thanks again)

Great explanation! Although I'm native german speaking I'd understood very good. Thanks for your effort! 👍😊

Simple. Clear. Effective

tsym for this tutorial king :> the simplicity in the explanation helped a ton, finally gonna be able to make games with screens rather than pure text inputs T>T

This was the best 101 I've found so far. You've got yourself a new subscriber.

THANK YOU SO MUCH now i can start my dream job because of you😄

I think you're the best teacher I've found. Thanks for this video.

Thank You so Much! This Helped Me Improve My Python Skills a Lot!

I only watched one of your video and it got me interested already to try on making a game.

I found that it very helpful to use your tutorial. Thank you so much!

Glad to see you back!

Thank you so much for such a great tutorial.

Hi, russ. I am happy to say that I finally made my first game completely on my own using the knowledge I got from all of your wonderful tutorials. I am giving you recommendations about tutorials that I would like to watch: again a tower defense game where you place towers on the map that shoot at the coming enemies, an upgrade system for them, wave calculating system for the enemies so that the waves are infinite and get harder with each wave. One other tutorial that I would love to watch and I can't find anywhere is about making popping score that appears, floats up and disappears shortly or just disappears after a while or even fades away. Maybe even randomize the size of the numbers, the rotation, the speed and so on . I know that you made a similar thing for your rpg game tutorial, but maybe you can expand on it. Also a game I'm really interested in making is a tower defense, but one where you have to buy troops that go and attack the enemy castle and defend from the enemy troops, im sure that you know of such games. I know how hard it is to make such tutorials and I appreciate your hard work, so I understand if you can't make them. Thats all, thank you for being such an awesome creator, keep it up 👍

brooo you're so goodddddddddd i understand all and now i can start project. thank you so much

This was extremely easy to follow! thank you for this

Excellent. Thank you

soothing/relaxing voice, new sub..

It's quite helpful thanks bro

personally I'd not use elif for the movement so you can move diagonally

This is awesome video🎉

10/10 tutorials

This was an amazing tutorial! One question, when I run the code it’s very inconsistent- sometimes it moves quickly and other times it moves very slowly. I’m running it on a rather old laptop so I wonder if that’s the issue. Anything I can do to fix it?

Thank you thank you thank you so so much! Now I can watch other tutorials or your own tutorials and not get confused. Thank you again ❤

such a good tutorial

Hey there!, im really interested in coding and stuff and i took python in my school(the school really was careless on teaching computer scienceas the teacher was busy most of the time). I myself learnt from a book which was assigned about many things and even learnt about sql and related things. And now i was wondering if theres a possibility to make a small arcade like game and publishing it on an online store to earn something so can u tell is there any possiblity and how?. Soon my exams will over and ill have much more time to spend on my computer so doing a project that gives a atleast a small return would be encouraging and i can say that my hobby is to code. And can u suggest what other future projects should i think to work on? Im thinking to learn about tinkter next after the exams and as for later i was thinking to switch to c# next

Thanks - great video! Is there a follow up, part two etc?

You're the best!

Russ, you should make tutorials about the Ursina 3D engine. You can make full 3d games with very little lines of code. Keep up the great work though!

I'm getting the following error, any suggestions? C:\Windows\System32>pip install pygame 'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

The elif statement prevents it from going diagonal I suggest just doing an if statement

THANK YOU!

Damn seems like it's better than Tkinter. Thanks man!

Hey, I finished the video and downloaded the custom firmware as well. I do have one question, when I open up w flipper do I still install new updates or will that mess up the custom firmware?

Hello Russ! Can you pls make a tutorial on how to code chess offline 1v1 with pygame and chess library

Bro actually i am new in programming so i dont know much about it but when i use commands like Import , init etc It doesnt show the colour like purplish as it shows urs Plz help me out of this

Is there a way to save the code and then run it from the terminal?

Thanks! The Coding was easy, but when i press Ctrl+B my pygame window opens up and shows a black screen and then it shows not responding and gets closed. I am using sublime text editor. please help me with this.

Great! 💚

I copied your code exactly, but all I get is a black screen. I have tried many things to fix the problem, even changing the screen to gray instead of black, but still it shows a black screen. No error warnings. Any thoughts?

AWESOME

when i try to install py game it says 'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Do you know how to fix that. Thanks:)

Hello, I get the window to open and vscode shows no issue, but the window keeps loading and if I click it it turns white and stops responding until it crashes, any help?

I created the window and I can move it around, but the window doesn't close when hitting X. I followed the code exact up to that point. Any reason why that would happen?

I am attempting to code the rectangle movement, but I can only press one directional button each time I run it, and then it goes to the edge of the screen and doesn't move if I try to press another one.

Very helpful! Thanks so much for sharing!

Cool thank you!

Also, will you make videos on Tile Map Editor for Python?

is pycharm usable without paying for the premium stuff? I see that after downloading it gives you 30 days free, but is it still usable after that time or is it a waste of time to download it if i'm not intending to pay a subscription after?

So I installed sublime text, and I wrote the code that was in the video, but all the text is just white, and not multicolored like in the video. How can I fix that?

can you list the editors, I know pycharm, notepad plus plus, idle, but what was that first one or the one that you use? Thanks. I'm a total blind person as well, it would be nice if you could show how to make a talking menu system step by step. Thanks again.

Russ , you are my favorite game developer on KZfaq ! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us =) !

Will you make videos on Pyglet and other game engines?

Uhm. I need help my letter when I click import it doesn’t change colors like yours for example when I put import pygame it’s white not purple like yours and I put all those codes but nothing is running what am I doing wrong?

Hello, im not to sure when you say to run the code i don't where to click to run the code? also, when i type it doesn't show the colours or even the "other alternative words". what im i doing wrong? thank you

just a quick question, why is the screen variable outside of the while loop? I tried putting it in the while loop and it still worked just fine, why is it not in the while loop. Just wanna clarify.

mine keeps on not responding after i added the movement components. any clues what might be going on?

bro please help me in my windows laptop is saying this 'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Btw instead of doing the "run = True" you can just do "while True" and use "break" to end the loop

Instead of making a variable for the while loop you can just say While True: And to finish it just type Break

Really nice explanation! Gonna have my 12 yo watch to see if he can get in to it!

Can the app made also work on mobile phones?

Hmm... I have PyGame installed, but when I try to run the code it says, "No module named 'pygame'".

I've been binging your content and am loving it. I have a small question if you have the time sometime. In your example, pressing WASD moves the rect quite smoothly. In mine, it zooms across the screen and disappears. Any idea what I could be doing incorrectly?

Why does my sublime not have any colored text and when you get to the rect leaving a trail the pygame program is closing

What about to make arcade library tutorial?

the explanation is very clear. but i still had a problem with displaying the red cube correctly. it only showed once i closed the window. i moved the pygame.display.update() to a different place , under the line pygame.draw.rect() and now it seems to work. i don't know why that happened..

So when i write the commands like import they dosent change colors i thinked it was fine but i cant run the commonds without them chainging colors i dont know what did i do wrong (i used sublimane text for its get easyier to learn)Also like its dosent auto correct im sure this is the right one and im sure ı have installed pygame. Pls help me.

Hey it crashes after i add the rectangle and the collor could you help me?

Hi! your video is clear and great for beginer like me XD, I would like to ask why the coordinate on Y-axis number is opposite from the general format that we learn on math? From your video key W/moving upward(0, -1) and S/moving downward(0, 1)? I tried W(0, 1) and S(0, -1) turns up moving opposite

Thanks for the amazing Tutorial. Last comment I couldnt install pip but I found what was wrong. Thanks! Also one question what key is used to Run the code?

this code doesn't work with python3 it gives me an indentation error on line 13 and i cant fix it i dont know what is going on here but if anyone can help id appreciate it greatly

Now do i open the game Window like you do for checking if it's working?

I am just getting started on python do you have any idea on what to make as my first game?

Weird question, I seem to have followed everything exactly, but am not seeing the rectangle until right as I close the game... not sure where I went wrong

Thank you sooooooo much for showing you need to tik the boxen when installing Python. Ive been trying to install pygame for over an hour and everytime I tried to run the command or anything it gave me an error

im just confused on how to come up with this on my own. like all the (()) and : , . how do i even know what to type? i can follow your steps and basically cope and paste but how do i understand what to write?

my sprite[the rectangle] is so fast that it disappears how should i make it slow down

How can I create a circle instead of a rectangle that I can move?

So I have python and pygame and I even checked with the command prompt, but everytime I type in "import pygame", it says no module name 'pygame'. I even tried it in sublime which I orginally used pycharm. Is there a fix to this or nah?

Can anyone explain the difference between Import pygame and using pygame.init() method. What exactly is being initialized?

I got stuck on the very beginning and got this error: RuntimeWarning: import threads: No module named 'pygame.threads' (ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pygame.threads') import pygame

I am having issues running the software. It's trying to reach images from my C: Drive, but I am using my E: drive for coding.

How do j program it where it moves to touch screen

i have the same setup but when i compile from sublime nothinghappens
