I have learned more from your videos than from 2 books that I read regarding python. please keep the videos going!!!

All your vids are so well done. Keep up the good work. I feel I'm actually understanding what I'm seeing with these tutorials.

Almost 3 years Thank you so much for these videos. I've tried to learn so many times to learn different languages, and I've found that the only way for me to learn them is by making games (the first one from a tutorial, then try to make my own from there before branching off into more difficult parts of the language). Although this series seems to be long, you're doing a good job with it and are keeping me interested in learning python. Thanks for making such clear tutorials!

Good tutorials so far. I'm considering creating a game and have been through one tutorial series that helped me learn how python works etc. I ran into a snag this week when I was unable to make it a distributable exe to share with friends and family to get their input on what I'm looking to do. I've just started with you and glad you're working in a windows environment instead of make since I think that interfered a bit with what I could and couldn't do. Will keep going. Thanks again, great work!

Hey, huge thanks for doing these videos first of all! Secondly, I have made a background ( to look like a road) and I wanted to have boundaries that didn't mean crashed so I put:

if x < 211:
if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
if event.key == pygame.K_LEFT:
x_change = 0

if x > 956:
if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
if event.key == pygame.K_RIGHT:
x_change = 0

My dimensions are slightly different to yours but anyway - once I run it and hold the left arrow it will stop at x = 211 but then if you keep tapping the left key it will still move to the left and vice versa to the right! Can you help? Or suggest a better way to just stop them from keeping on moving?
Thanks again!

i get indentation errors when i use tab to move the code block to the right. i couldn't really solve it myself, so for now i'll just continue with the sample code from sentdex' page. i did some googling, and found out, that the python style-guide doesn't recommend the use of tabs for indentation at all. anyways i don't really feel, like i know what i'm doing, when it comes to indentation. any tips to improve in that area?

Please help-
How do you make an image rotate when you enter a key?
and how do you make an image point towards the mouse cursor?

for some reason my car start moving left if i hover the mouse on the screen @sentdex

[lucabrodribb]

my code isn't working. When I click run, no error messages come up but a black screen comes up. Then when I click exit, my white screen with my car on it comes up for about a second then disappears.

[garvitgarg]

Bro I m using python IDLe 3.8 in that if I m running your code my output screen is going black and then i hve to minimize it and when i maximize it again i m able to see that car but my car is not moving left or right . I have copied you code exactly the same but still it is not wrking . Help me out bro

[jousireischig]

Hey man. How would I go about just not letting my "car" go throught the boundery ?
Cant really find a clear answer on the inernet :/

[colemilne]

When I move towards the left my car crashes early and when I move towards the right, my car goes off screen before it crashes.
My car is dimensioned differently, is that the problem?

[SwayyAllTheWayy]

is there  a way to make a custom background in this game?

[backwoodsbaker]

never mind i figured it out. i had one Exit and the other EXIT. they have to be the same
