QUESTION
enter image description hereI am learning python from a book called "Computer Coding Python Games For Kids" Here's the bookhttps://www.amazon.com/Computer-Coding-Python-Games-Kids/dp/0241317797 The game is basically where you try to click on the red snowflake before it gets to the bottom My problem is that even if I store the image with the code in the same file it can't seem to find the image. If I try to write (C:\Users\Nigel\Desktop\python-games\find the red snowflake\image\red-snow)I get a Unicode error. here is my code
...ANSWER
Answered 2022-Jan-19 at 01:22If you're getting a unicode error for that path, that means you're probably not typing it right -- those backwards slashes you see in paths are normally used for "escape characters", and they can interfere when you're just trying to type the path to a file. Try one of these solutions, if you haven't already typed your path like this:

ANSWER
Answered 2021-Aug-27 at 16:25The Indentation in your code is incorrect after screen.clear(). You have to delete the complete while True:-loop. This code will not work with Pygame Zero. It is a Pygame application and event loop. Pygame Zero is based on Pygame but it is not the same. You cannot use Pygame zero, but the event handling of Pygame. Note draw is continuously invoked in the background. draw is the "application loop".
A working example may look as follows:
QUESTION
I have been trying to code a small game with a character that moves around. For some reason, I can't use gifs. After that, I turned the gif into a bunch of pngs and with that, I tried to write some code to animate it:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Mar-08 at 04:02In this line
clock.schedule_interval(animate(), 0.5)
clock.schedule_interval takes in a callable(a function) and the interval. By adding parentheses after animate, you're actually calling the function and passing its output. Since animate doesn't return anything(None), you're doing the same as this:
clock.schedule_interval(None, 0.5)
where it should be
clock.schedule_interval(animate, 0.5)
QUESTION
Why does IDLE say
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pygame'
when I have it installed? I installed it with pip. I tried deleting the import but then IDLE gives me a name error saying pygame isn't defined.. I tried doing
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Jun-23 at 00:37Got to python/scripts path and try to uninstall it with python -m pip uninstall pygame then install it with python -m pip install pygame --user
When installing a python package without --user, pip defaults to installing it on the system directory such as /usr/local/lib/python3, and this requires root access. While when using --user, pip installs the package in your home directory which doesn't require any root access or special privileges. So that leaves us with two ways to install Pygame correctly, The first one is to use --user to install it without special privileges and the Second choice is to run the terminal as an administrator on Windows or as root on Linux to give it root access for it to download Pygame successfully.
QUESTION
here is my problem - I am trying to re-build KNIGHT’S QUEST game based on book "Beginner's Step-by-Step coding course" (Download the complete Coding Course Resource Pack). And I have got Error message: NameError: name 'Actor' is not defined. I also read related one-year old article about the same problem here: Name 'Actor' is not defined and added to my code this line: from pgzero.builtins import Actor, animate, keyboard, but then I got this error message: error: cannot convert without pygame.display initialized. The same error occurs even when I try to run original game provided by issuer (I downloaded it without modification). This is my code where error occurs:

Answered 2020-Jun-09 at 08:57Problem partially solved - code somehow runs on Windows machine (Anaconda/Spyder) (it does not run on Ubuntu-Anaconda/Spyder machine), although it runs with issues - when I run it inside Spyder, it gives error message and does not compile, but when I test it and run from Terminal Python + name of the file.py it executes well.

QUESTION
Below is the game.spec file that I have created. When running the below command, the app gets created perfectly
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Jul-30 at 22:30When pyInstaller (or cx_Freeze, py2exe, etc.) make an executable, all the program files, along with PyGame, Python and a bunch of other stuff is all compressed up.
When it's run, the first thing to happen is that archive of stuff is unpacked. Unpacked somewhere. Then your executable is started, but not from the location of the unpack.
To fix this, your script has to determine the location it is running from - that is the full path to the script. Then use this location to find all the program's extra files.
