Creating an Environment for our Object - Intermediate Python Programming p.14

Welcome to part 14 of the intermediate Python programming tutorial series. In this tutorial, we're going to be creating the PyGame environment for our object.

[ambermeows]

Thank you for putting out python content for beginners and intermediates. Really appreciate it! Can't wait to finish your beginner series before I start your intermediate series.

i've learned so much python programming for you....I really hope you keep doing this. I like it when you discuss specific modules and how they work. I really wish I could find someone like you who can do the same for BioPython (for those of us that need python to manipulate DNA sequences and large alignment files etc.).

I can't run it on pycharm, is there a way to fix that?(it instantly closes the pygame window)

[TuxGnome]

Hey sentdex, really happy you are taking these OOP videos in real world scenarios not just "monster X and monster Y" examples. If I may suggest something, there are some methods from pygame you are using, it would be great if you compare these methods to the ones you are creating, ex: if event.type == pygame.QUIT: what is pygame.QUIT exactly? why is QUIT uppercase, is it the same as the methods we are creating etc.

Overall I really want to congratz you on doing these awesome tutorials, and I really think you are a gem in our Python community. Hoping to see a laracast-like site for our python community from you. This way can at least support you a bit.

sir pygame.QUIT is not working, it gives error that QUIT is not define... but the code is running still, i get blob on screen but, can you just give me solution that how to get ride of that error??

[abdulhananzaroo]

Awesome tutorial ! thank you so much man. i cant wait for the rest of the OOP parts ... keep them coming :)

[Sukuna_FF]

thank you for this wonderful video. i have a question thought. in the part where you limit the blob s movements the self. x and y in the if statements are highlighted by a yellow line. so this code is it only limited to pygame or id have to import something to make it work in vscode

[eftimiebudescu]

when you def the Blob class you use capital B and when you draw_environment(blob) is not capital B but b, i did it your way and i also change and used Blob in draw_environment and it works either way, this confuses me, so def draw_environment(Blob) inherites from class Blob wright?

[athilalthaf]

here its showing object takes no parameters
can anyone help me

[buildforce]

what do you do if you can't get pictures on your game I have tried so hard but not working good video and way

[naushinmirza]

excellent video series...cant wait for the rest

[mkdevelops]

I know I ask a lot but, why didn't we use pygame.init() here ?

[santiagopardal]

I get this error help pls!!

[bespin]

Is it normal to have variables such as WIDTH and HEIGHT inside a class that are dependent on outside assignment? What if you were writing the class to it's own file. It seems like a weird dependency when creating an instance of the class. Just wondering about best practice and if this is normal or just for the demo.

[eazye]

Why we didn't create Blob variables explicitly in class Blob?

[jiahueichan]

Hello sir, I've been struggling with Object Oriented Programming for a while now, up until this point, I don't feel like I can go further without understanding this, so I thought I should ask some question that probably seems silly to most here:
what's the difference between class, function and method that you defined?
what's the difference between instance and object?

I did spend quite some time reading explanation on stackoverflow but none of the answer seems to explain it at a fundamental level, it's more like "A method is implicitly passed the object on which it was called." or another answer of that sort, perhaps it's a good explanation but I don't understand a single thing in that sentence, maybe you can provide a more metaphoric explanation? :/

Finally, love your videos, been a little lost in direction after learning intro to python from coursera. Thank you :)

if __name__ == '__main__':
main()


if have zero idea what this line does... could you please explain?

[srisu]

pygame isn't installing for me....please help!

[l.f.velasco]

what is this for?:

if __name__ == '__main__':
main()

couldn't jus do:

main()

??

[isabellez]

Even if you're my favorite python resource, I think you're missing the point of teaching Objects by diving too deep into the pygame example
