@nerdtronn try

s.bdr = sc.ShapeNode() s.bdr.position = s.size/2

@cvp, thanks, that worked.

It worked!!
I could stop Action.repeat().
Thank you so much!!

And try the last script of this topic to get a Blurr effect.

@resserone13, for your app, this could work really well:

PageControl

I put this code under touch_began() and its how I want. Every time the button is clicked the amount of taps is checked and if it meets the condition it adds 15 to the time.

if self.tap_count % 20 == 0 and self.tap_count != 0: self.timer_value += 15

@mikael ok. That’s a good idea. I’ll add some.

@JonB thanks. I defined everything and added the music code and it’s stopping and starting on cue. Thank you for your help. I wasn’t sure how to use the stop resume and pause. I sometimes still have trouble figuring out little things.

@JonB Thank you for the advice. I’m going to try to work this in. I am also going to review all of my post to make sure I haven’t missed any advice. I really appreciate you guys helping me. I’ve seen some things you guys have worked on on github and it is much above my level. I appreciate you guys taking the time to help me. I feel it’s a privilege to be helped by people who know so much. Thank you very much @mikael @ccc @cvp.

@cvp I’ve got it to work with all the other sound effects by using the sound.playeffect(). I think there might be a problem when you use sound.player() with sound.playeffect(). This is what I’m using.

class MainScene (Scene): def setup(self): bg_music = sound.play_effect('3 card monte beat (90.00 BPM) - MAIN OUT.wav', volume=.25) bg_music.looping = True

@resserone13 This was helpful. Was having difficulty with creating delays and this cleared it up. Thanks for the pointer. Cheers.

@ccc would something like this be a good idea?

position = (self.size.w/2, self.size.h * 1.60)

If not would be so kind to so me the proper way.

@resserone13, it is a feature of scene that in the setup method we already know the size. Very convenient when compared to the ui module.

@trey, one idea would be to place a transparent view on top (as a subview of scene.view) to handle the touches.

Then you would need to check if the touch is near the top-right corner to simulate clicking on the ”x” with superview.close(). And remember to flip the y coordinate before passing the coordinate and touch type to your scene code. And maybe go via screen coordinates if you do a lot of zooming and panning in your scene.

Sounds great! Looking forward to it.

Thanks guys, I will study about shader and effect more Thanks!

@Tonnoaw I would also try to import game_menu.py and build a menu with title and option selection buttons. So, rather than setting “cheat” mode in the script, define a mode button for a non-programmer to change mode of operation.

My current approach is to load the tileset.png which contains all the tiles. I then use Image.crop() for every tile I want to extract. I then upscale them using Image.resize() by some arbitrary factor, because if I would let the scene upscale the 8x8 textures to something like 64x64, the performance drops hard. Using BytesIO I convert them to ui.Image without saving them on disk and from there I can load them as a scene.Texture.

But thank you for the hint that I can load the image and scale them in one operation!

All I had to do to fix the original problem was converting the tileset.png to RGB mode.

@mikael lol well ive never checked the memory lol so in theory this is what i expect lol

@stephen 👍
