PyGame Scrolling Shooter Game Beginner Tutorial in Python - PART 11 | Screen Scrolling

In this Python tutorial I code a Scrolling Shooter Game using the PyGame module. I'm going to cover scrolling and explain how to scroll the level and all objects as the player moves left and right

These tutorials are elite. I've improved so much because of you. Thank you so much. I see how you managed to solve some problems and the methods you use, it is very intelligent.

Thanks, everything ended up scrolling backwards, took me ages to find the one '-' out of place! Well I helps the learning curve. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

[jesterc.]

It makes me so happy whenever I predict what you're about. This is clearly Way better than school. I mean imagine paying to learn for a course like this. its packed with every programming habits and methods you need. You my sir are a God.

Man, finally the missing piece. I followed the other videos to make a non-scrolling tile based world, and couldn't figure out how to scroll it. Drove me crazy all weekend.

Great stuff Russ. Loving your series 🙏🏻

amazing bro... am i full fan now. Please i would love to see the videos i see in other channels here on pygame but weren't well taught. Example, isometric background, 3d gaming etc. Thank you for your courses

[nuggi]

that scrolling in the background is so cool!

To prevent the world from over scrolling i actally added a 21.png which is a full transparent png and check if right is greater than screen_width and also gatheredall the sprite groups inside the World __init__

cannot thank u enough man you deserve the best!!

for the scrolling idea I researched other place so you don't need to hardcode the time you loop X. in fact you can count it depend on how big your BG is.
so it will looks like this. in my code there is only one BG picture btw. Thanks very much for the tutorial
def draw_bg():
screen.fill(BG)
rel_x = bg_scroll % bg.get_rect().width
screen.blit(bg, (rel_x - bg.get_rect().width, 0))
if rel_x < SCREEN_WIDTH:
screen.blit(bg, (rel_x, 0))

Are you culling the tiles that are not being displayed or are you drawing the entire map every frame?

# Sample Python code for character movement
player_position = [0, 0] # Initial position

def move(direction):
if direction == "left":
player_position[0] -= 1
elif direction == "right":
player_position[0] += 1
elif direction == "up":
player_position[1] += 1
elif direction == "down":
player_position[1] -= 1

# Example usage:
move("right")
print("Current position:", player_position)

Sorry, this is an old question probably for a previous video - how did you access the obstacle_list attribute from the World class in other classes like Soldier and Bullet? Like how does world.obstacle_list work in other classes?

when I press the button to shoot once, it keeps shooting me finishing almost every projectile
