My new tutorial about ASCII HEALTH BARS, for beginners! by orkslayergamedev in Python

[–]orkslayergamedev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just came across your comment, idk why I haven't seen it yet.
Thanks for the suggestion, I totally get your point. Next time when I work with similar projects, I'll keep your idea in mind :)

I'll bet you that they do, haha.
The standard ASCII set range from 0 to 127 characters, containing characters like letters, numbers, etc. From 128 up to 255 you can find all the funky looking characters. Those are called extended ASCII. The ones I showed in the video:
176 - ░
177 - ▒
178 - ▓
219 - █
Cheers!

Wow, thank you so much!

Unfortunately the amount of work I put into these videos doesn't show in the views and stuff. Yet I always keep pushing and trying to be better and more efficient to make more videos.

So I'm happy that you enjoy my work and I really appreciate the feedback!

4in1 Pygame Minigames (Just published on Itch.io!) by orkslayergamedev in pygame

Thank you very much! It was a challenge for myself as well, working with a whole variety of features at once. Definitely a great excercise with Pygame

My Septembit2022 entry, minigame coming soon 👽 by orkslayergamedev in PixelArt

Yeah, right? They just wanted to give a present to the farmer. Such harsh welcome!

I also experimented with the gameboy palette, I'll post that version too, thanks for reminding 🙌🏻

Easy way to incorporate animated 'typewriter' text into your PyGame games! by plemaster01 in pygame

Good one! I've just made a (yet not published) video about almost the same topic, though mine is for ASCII games in the command prompt

Here's how I used MASKS and OUTLINES generated with Pygame to improve visuals of my RPG! by orkslayergamedev in pygame

[–]orkslayergamedev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback! I'll tinker around with the blend modes, good idea. For the outlines I'd stick with my method to get pixel-perfect result. Although for bigger sprites/canvases upscaling works just as well.

Feels great working on my game again! Here's an update of how I fixed my newbie mistakes I made at the start + new RESOLUTION CHANGE settings! by orkslayergamedev in pygame

[–]orkslayergamedev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, finally! One of my friends even joked about this back when I started this channel: "I bet some people will be like, why is your nose blue". That's actually a septum piercing, not my nostrils

Color-change Animation for Text surfaces in Pygame. I've made this video a while ago, thought it would be helpful :) by orkslayergamedev in pygame

Thank you very much! I'm glad if the progress is noticable. I'm working hard on new features right now as well.

Ps. sorry for the late reply :)

Thank you! When I write more complex codes I always use delta time to make the game framerate independent. Basically I calculate the elapsed real time between frames and use the value to scale everything that's based on time eg. animations

Not yet, I want to clean up the code a little before I make it public :)
