I am new to pygame and python, and I am just making a simple "Dodger" game. I have created a main menu with some buttons.
My main menu:
# show the start screen
done=False
while not done:
screen.fill(black)
text_width,text_height=font.size("Dodger")
#a function for drawing text
drawText('Dodger', font, screen, (screen_width / 2-(text_width/2)), (screen_height / 2-200))
font = pygame.font.SysFont(None, 45)
start_button=button(screen_width/2-125,175,250,50,white,black,'Start')
start_button.draw()
instructions_button=button(screen_width/2-125,250,250,50,white,black,'Instructions')
instructions_button.draw()
back_button=button(screen_width/2-125,325,250,50,white,black,'Back')
back_button.draw()
pygame.display.flip()
I also have a button class:
class button(object):
def __init__(self,x,y,width,height,text_color,background_color,text):
self.rect=pygame.Rect(x,y,width,height)
self.image=pygame.draw.rect(screen, background_color,(self.rect),)
self.x=x
self.y=y
self.width=width
self.height=height
self.text=text
self.text_color=text_color
def check(self):
return self.rect.collidepoint(pygame.mouse.get_pos())
def draw(self):
drawText(self.text,font,screen,self.x+self.width/2,self.y+self.height/2,self.text_color)
pygame.draw.rect(screen,self.text_color,self.rect,3)
Two buttons work, but the third one is not responding.
My code looks like this:
#show start screen
done=False
while not done:
screen.fill(black)
text_width,text_height=font.size("Dodger")
drawText('Dodger', font, screen, (screen_width / 2-(text_width/2)), (screen_height / 2-200))
font = pygame.font.SysFont(None, 45)
#the start button starts the game
start_button=button(screen_width/2-125,175,250,50,white,black,'Start')
start_button.draw()
#my button that is not working
instructions_button=button(screen_width/2-125,250,250,50,white,black,'Instructions')
instructions_button.draw()
#go back to game selection
back_button=button(screen_width/2-125,325,250,50,white,black,'Back')
back_button.draw()
pygame.display.flip()
while not done:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type==QUIT:
terminate()
elif event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
if start_button.check()==True:
#main game code
if instructions_button.check()==True:
#show instructions
if back_button.check()==True:
#go back to game selection
However, my "instructions" button is not working, though the other two work.
Code:
elif instructions_button.check()==True:
screen.fill(black)
drawText('some instructions',font,screen,screen_width/2-127.5, 185)
back_button.draw()
done=False
while not done:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type==QUIT:
terminate()
elif back_button.check()==True:
done=True
The problem is that when I click the button, the screen doesn't fill(screen.fill(black) or draw my text (drawText('some instructions',font,screen,screen_width/2-127.5, 185)).
In my attempts to debug it, I placed various print('hello') to see why it wasn't working:
elif instructions_button.check()==True:
print('hello')
screen.fill(black)
print('hello')
drawText('some instructions',font,screen,screen_width/2-127.5, 185)
back_button.draw()
done=False
while not done:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type==QUIT:
terminate()
elif back_button.check()==True:
done=True
It printed but didn't fill the screen with black.
All help is appreciated!
