The #TT2020 typewriter font looks pretty good in this #PyGame #ASR33 emulator, even if it never gets the chance to typeset whole words or lines, and keeps to the initial letterforms every time.

In this month's Linux Format I cover various AI / ML tools that can be used to aid programmers. Article two is the first of a series, covering the recreation of Breakout using Python and the PyGame library.

The end?

In this post I will briefly mention the development that I’ve done on the balloon shooter but not documented and then talk a little about future plans for this project.

#python #pygame

It's so annoying how many people are asking on #pygame discord to fix their AI generated code. And if you try to help they have no idea what is happening in it.
Please, don't use AI to learn programming or let it write code for you, if you have no clue what it's doing.

@aramba

Do you already have 2d or 3d assets?

I know it can be done with #panda3d

I use it myself and I can recommend the discord for help questions. *I can answer questions too, except about setup on windows.

Also maybe #pygame but I know less about that.

Both need #python coding but it's nothing arcane that can't be picked up in a day or so.

I guess I was bored during the 4th of July. Flocking simulation. #Simulation #pygame #github #notAI https://github.com/dariocazzani/flocking-simulation

#agile #game development with #python #pygame:

We work on adding multiplayer support to the balloon shooter. In the process we see examples of overlapping #sociable #testing and also reflect a bit on the agile concept of #stories.

The end result makes me want to go play the game every now and then.

Started attempting to create my space #game. as a mockup in #pygame orbital mechanics, and fuel works. it is still tedious to get into orbit. And orbits do seem to drift. thick red line is the ship's trail, long vector is current velocity vector.

Camera (or rather the screen) rotates according to which planet is closest. it makes things easier with initiating prograde and retrograde burns.

minimap exists. relative indicator of planets exist.

tried an experiment getting #chatGPT to code for me. the method of not really reading the code and just telling it "it does x, but it's supposed to do y" definitely has limits, and seemed to get worse as the code got more complex.

the player could move pretty well, but the enemies never learned to steer. it took a while for it to get the hang of "turn the triangle green if the collision avoidance routine is being triggered", which was already needed because debugging.

I've finally coded A Star from scratch in #pygame #python
I've always wanted to make one of these visualisations.

I work on a more interesting balloon spawning and movement pattern.

Went through a #pygame tutorial [1] and made a little shmup

My current project is working on creating a visualisation of #astar #pathfinding algorithm. I'm using #pygame #python to produce the visuals. but before I can do that I have to build out the grid. I've made it especially hard on myself it seems but creating a hexagon grid. Working slowly to fix the bugs.

Score as text: http://rickardlindberg.me/writing/agdpp-score-as-text/

I find it tedious to count point markers when my son wants to know the score, and I think he also expressed that he wants to have the score as a number in the upper right corner. That's what we will work on in this episode.

"I feel a disproportional sense of excitement and joy over this. We can now get input from the Logitech gamepad. We are real game developers now!"

The balloon shooter game now has a "fancy" player selection start screen.
