Really helpful man. Thanks. Can you make a tutorial on how to make different level for a game and how to make the transition between levels after pressing a button. I've been wanting this. Thanks :)

Oh yes more! Your videos have been super helpful thank you so much. Ive been thinking on using state machine for player control similar to how you handle game states. Would that be an improvement to the player class? Especially when the player can do more than just jumping and running. Also would be awesome if you make a tutorial on shooting mechanic like the one in cave story!

I'm wondering how can I make a game button that has a function like 1p mode and 2p mode on super smash bros?

Can't get it to work because when I save it saves the integers, not the "pygame.K_a" type codes.
when I load in my JSON I can't load in direct pygame methods so I have to load them in as strings, and then evaluate them. But I can't get the codes from the integers, and I can't get the integers to work as a pygame event.
