PyGame Platformer Game Beginner Tutorial in Python - PART 10 | Add a Score Counter and Display Text

In this Python tutorial I code a Platformer Game using the PyGame module. I'm going to ad a score counter and create a function for showing text on the screen

it's funny to see so many people leave after the first few tutorials, have a bit of determination damnit! Btw great tutorials

[aaravagrawal]

your tutorials are helping me even after 2 years. I wonder how your tutorials arent more famous!

[lucasschneider]

Very useful, got me back into coding!

[uejgohh]

Thank you so much for all the tutorials, they have been a massive help! I was wondering if there was a way to include 5 different coloured keys under one place or would there have to be a new class made for each coloured key?

[DaanGreenhalgh]

I am experiencing an issue as whenever i run the code self.rect.center = (x, y), it gives back an error mezsage "type error: invalid rect Assignment" please help

Hi Russ,
When i was beta-testing my levels, I realized that if you collect two coins at once, then the score counter only goes up by one. Do you know how to fix this? I have no idea how to fix this :/

[gxgrpwh]

great, now it would be interesting to move the picked up coins to the coin counter

[julijavoitina]

Hey! Love your tutorials! But i have a question, how would you implement lives?

[allinoneyt_]

Hello Russ! I am so convinced of the game that I continued programming it;) I wanted to add that you can also get 2x coins. I added that but unfortunately +1 is still made :(
The Code is down below ;)

Your tutorials are amazing and helped me alot! Thanks! There's a bug where if i put 2 coins one above the other and collect them at the same time it increases the score by 1.
How do i fix that

[Tom-ifdu]

I don't know how to move the score coin to the other position. Can you tell me how to do this?

[MedoElhager]

If I don't take the coins, it appears to me on the next level, how to solve the problem

[trailsanddales]

Hi at 1min 41 seconds when adding the coin class. I get an error with self.rect.centre = (x, y) when I run the game it fails when I run into as door and gives the error. AttributeError: 'pygame.Rect' object has no attribute 'centre'. Any help most appreciated I have double and triple checked it. thanks
