I started learning Python recently, and these tutorials are great! (I already had experience with other programming languages so learning Python itself is pretty easy for me). These tutorials are an absolute gem for me. And your timing is so perfect. Out of curiosity I checked the upload date, expecting it to be like 7 years ago like every other Python tutorial on the internet, and to my pleasant surprise, this is only a month old! I'm a new subscriber. I really hope your videos gain more traction, you deserve it.

Your channel will go boom, i can feel it! Subbed!

best general pygame tutorials out there, would never find any like it. great job. im actually surprised you don't have over 100k yet...

[umbreonben]

Love your tutorials for real. I cant find one good Python Game Tutorial because the most tutorial gamedevs are trash and you're just the best!

[justajolt]

You old video was awesome! Used it to build a Boris Johnson platformer. Thanks for the update too, though ^_^ Your content is awesome.

[hextav]

you are so close to 10k subscribers! here since below 1k.

bruv, this is one of the most helpful videos i've watched

[SuperQuwertz]

So nicely explained, so much highly useful side information. Very nice tutorial! :)

To solve the head bonk problem: below 'if collisions['bottom'] -- else: --', do 'if collisions['top']: player_y_momentum += 1', and that way if you have a head bonk you'll fall down at a rate of one pixel per frame, so you aren't stuck for a few frames.

this is such a nice channel this is what started me coding in pygame (mainly because i couldnt find a tutorial that didint just jumpcut each minute)

[aoguro]

You finally did it bro you finally did it.

Built-in ways of doing something: *exist*

Thank man, now I understand this part better. Thank you very much.

[aarondraws]

what is the 32 argument for in pygame.display.setmode() line

[grottordrynor]

Deam man, your tutorials are so useful, thank you so much, you are helping me a lot

[chelovek_v]

Man, your tutorials are the best on youtube!

[masExz]

thanks for this video, the original one really caused a lot of confusion :)

10:00 im pretty sure you can use enumerate() for this:

for y, row in enumerate(game_map):
for x, tile in enumerate(row):
...

it will do incrementing y and x for you

26:58 so, i fixed the head sticking to the top of the roof thingy. is this like, the correct way, or is there a better way. here is my way:
elif collisions['top']:
player_y_momentum = 1
i just immediately set the momentum from 0 to 1 to like kind of bringing him down quick

TYSM! I've been looking for a solution that was simple and easy to understand.
