I'm getting into the pygame module in python and no matter what i search on the internet, i never seem to come to any conclusions for my problem.
In a nutshell, it's a game where you have to avoid or pick objects falling from above (in this case numbers).
I randomized the x and y coordinates by using random.randint and then in the main game loop i made them fall by iterating y += 5. This part works, but it only spawns one image and ends there.
This is how the mechanism of the images works in full detail:
#x and y position for the picture
x1 = random.randint(200,1000)
y1 = 10
#randomize images- pick a random image from the /numbers folder
file_path_type = ["./numbers/*png"]
image_pick = glob.glob(random.choice(file_path_type))
random_image = random.choice(image_pick)
random_image_load = pygame.image.load(random_image).convert()
random_image_load = pygame.transform.scale(random_image_load, 60, 60))
Ok and now this is the whole game loop:
running = True
while running:
clock.tick(40)
text_surface, rect = game_font.render(num, (0, 0, 0))
screen.blit(imageoverlay, (0,0))
screen.fill
screen.blit(text_surface, (x, y))
text_score_time, rect = game_font.render(str(score_time), (0, 0, 0))
screen.blit(text_score_time, (1100, 50))
score_display, rect = game_font.render('Time:', (255, 0, 0))
screen.blit(score_display, (975, 50))
score_time += 1
#this blits the initial image on the screen, but it only works one time
screen.blit(random_image_load, (x1, y1))
y1 += 5
keys = pygame.key.get_pressed()
if keys[pygame.K_LEFT]:
x -= vel
if keys[pygame.K_RIGHT]:
x += vel
if y1>700 and x1-20<x<x1+20:
print('You collided')
pygame.display.flip()
pygame.display.update()
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
running = False
pygame.display.update()
pygame.display.flip()
pygame.quit()
Can someone explain how do i keep on spawning game objects (each one with a new set of x and y coordinates that are randomly generated), lets say every second? I tried a couple of methods but they didn't work.
