PyGame Platformer Game Beginner Tutorial in Python - PART 5 | Adding Enemies

In this Python tutorial I code a Platformer Game using the PyGame module. I'm going to cover the creation of enemies

Note, sprites and sounds are open source:

Check out my other PyGame tutorials:

As always, your tutorials are great, and easy to understand, thank you!

I just enjoy watching these tutorials. You know when you say to your maths teacher "Yeah but Miss when will I ever use the 'abs()' function or the '//' floor operator. Booom this is it. A lot of other YouTubers use the Modular operator to flip Counters but the maths just does my head in.

i am getting this error:

I used my own sprite for the enemy which isn't symmetrical, how can I get the enemy to change directions when it moves back and forth?

And what if I have, only one sprite moving?

[xbrothers]

Hello, love ur vids. Could you tell me how to slow the enemies movement down?

[Grayhome]

There's still no limit for me on how many times i can push the jump button while my guy is in the air. Is this covered in a later video?

Great tutorial loving it so far!

I have a problem though maybe i can get some help here

My player sprite has a different rect size to the actual player image, so when I walk into the mobs, the player dies when it seems it is still quite far away.
I managed to create a secondary pseudo hitbox which I use with the collision with the tiles from the previous vid with colliderect() which works, but the same tactic can't be used here because the spritecollide() function takes the original player rect - I cannot pass my altered pseudo hitbox.

Please help!

I'm new to python, and I have a question: is there a reason the blobs are made sprites instead of rectangles like the player? What would happen if all of the objects are rectangles/ sprites? What difference would it make? Thank you.

[huiyeekee]

can you teach me how to slow down the speed of enemies?

[yotiis]

Hey do I have to use a editor or can I use idle? For these tutorials

[ishakantak]

How do you avoid collision with the screen width?

[rlspino]

From where did you got those all Images?
I want to put my custom Images

[arhambegani]

could you tell how to increase the speed of the enemies

[knightmare]

What if I want the enemies to be animated?
