For me i usually always used something like this for mouse button input: mouseleft, mousemiddle, mouseright = pygame.mouse.get_pressed().
Anyways, nice vid, im glad there is someone else who also uses pygame and python for making games :)

Thanks for the tutorial! I'm wondering, how did you get so knowledgeable about Pygame? I've noticed through my own investigating that resources dedicated to Pygame are so scarce compared to engines like Godot or Unity. Did you learn mostly through trial and error?

Hey thanks for tutorial but i have a question, how can i make it so the mouse cursor is in the middle and not the top left?

[theleeyawnshow]

Hi bro, how can you make the image follow to the current mouse position instead of the immage following it around?

[riyamandal]

What does this offset word mean in games?
