(this is also for people that want vertical movement)
For everybody who has problems with the character stopping after moving in the opposite direction:
Make 2 X and Y change variables, the first X_change is for left, the second for right, the first Y_change for down, the second for up.
And for PlayerX += change (for the movement to work), do PlayerX += X_change + X2_change, and the same for Y.

"and when we released the key, it is still moving. Why is that moving" hahaha cracked me up

Thx u 🙏 I have looked everywhere and finally I found a good tutorial on a pygame game, thanks again

[colbablast]

Great video! I decided to go with a boolean value for both directions as I find it doesn't stop easily when switching directions quickly that the system you are using has. It's a bit more code, but I think it's worth it!

This is really useful, thank you so mych>>

my ship is not moving using the keyboard left or right ; but automatically moves itself when running the playerX +=0.1
portion of the code.

[fictioncell]

[chandrakanthCK]

I got this type of error at 9:31


" playerX += playerX_change

NameError: name 'playerX_change' is not defined"

hey there. thanks for the awesome tutorials. I'm trying to create some sort of ease-in-out smoothness. I'm not really sure how to achieve this. calling screen.blit() multiple times with different positions will just create multiple images of my player at different positions. i tried calling it twice with different x positions so that it moves a little faster. while it did move faster there were two of my player as i called screen.blit() twice. I'm not really sure how to go about this. or where i have to create some sort of loop to iterate different speeds. could you help me out here? much appreciated!!

that movement algorithm have one problem :
if i hold left after hold right and now it start to go right when i remove my finger from left it stops(but normaly it must continue to go right) can we fix it ?

[dsilvahome]

I am having an error in the player function as when I run the program everything runs fine but it displays the following:
DeprecationWarning: an integer is required (got type float). Implicit conversion to integers using __int__ is deprecated, and may be removed in a future version of Python.
screen.blit(playerimg, (x, y))
pls help

[ritikasachan]

Left keystroke is working properly but right keystroke is not when i release it then ship doesnt stops same happens in y axis...why this i happening?

[ah-liew]

great tutorial and explaination brother.. but you did some changes in the code and you didnt explain it and you keep changing the code.. when i try to understand it and you change again the code and its confusing me.. why not change the code at first?

[trashdude]

Can you make a video on how to create a game menu

[subject]

I have a question: How do i stop Null-cancelling movement (I want to stop character from moving when opposing sides are pressed, i.e. left-right)

[mixcraft]

the keystrokes aren't working and nothing is shown at the console :(
