Random Cube Position - OpenGL with PyOpenGL Python and PyGame - 5

In this OpenGL programming tutorial with Python and PyOpenGL we cover how to start our cube in a random position instead of always having the cube coming from the center.

For some reason, the line "for x in range(10):" doesn't reset the camera position. How could I fix this?

An easier way for smooth controls:


def control_check():
keys_pressed = pygame.key.get_pressed()

if keys_pressed[pygame.K_w]:
glTranslatef(0.0, -0.1, 0.0)

if keys_pressed[pygame.K_s]:
glTranslatef(0.0, 0.1, 0.0)

if keys_pressed[pygame.K_d]:
glTranslatef(-0.1, 0.0, 0.0)

if keys_pressed[pygame.K_a]:
glTranslatef(0.1, 0.0, 0.0)

This key press and hold method is not currently working. I am on 3.6.1.
No errors are thrown, but no action is taking place.
I have tried adding a
keys = pygame.keys.get_pressed() along with a keys[K_UP] call with no results either...

Any suggestions?

I have a question: Is the same thing to use glTranslatef(x, y, z) Vs the varialbes x and y move?

HEELP!

Sorry to post on nearly every video but this time this error pops up.

File "projectcode_1.py", line 91
object_passed = False
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

what do I do?

I get an error for the "if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:" line and "main()" line when I pass 2 objects right after I added the randomness of the cube spawn position

Hi everyone. Copied the full code from pythonprogramming.net, simply does not work. First cube works perfectly, then the program just ends. I know for sure that pygame & pyopengl are installed correctly on my computer. Seems like a lot of people are having issues on this one, just continue on to the next one if you are guys, the next tutorials work ok for me anyway. btw sentdex if you see this maybe correct whatever it is that is wrong with the code on pythonprogramming.net, its v confusing when the code just doesn't work lol

I HATE MY COMPUTER! REALLY! I WANNA THROW IT OUT OF MY WINDOW!

I can press my a button (because i cannot use arrow keys...) as hard as i can, and the cube does not wanna move, Even with your sample code. I do not know if i should continue with PyOpenGL and PyGame. (Yes, i had part of the problem in PyGame too, but the press-and-hold worked.) Because if something that mayor like controlls do not work, it really makes not much sense to do it.

BUT WHY????
I blame Acer (They made my Computer), Samsung (My Keyboard) and Microsoft (for Windows). Thats all.

Bye Py. I will come back when i solved the problems...

(No, restarting the Computer does not help. Reinstalling Python, Pygame and PyOpenGL does not fix it.)
