At this point I don't really care if the sprites write over eachother...as
long as that doesn't cause the program to crash. I'm just trying to get
four circles going diagonally from each corner. The problem I'm having is
with the update function...Do I write two update functions? How do I get
the update function to apply separate code for the two (or more) circles?
Here is my code as it stands:
import pygame
pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((640, 480))
class Circle(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
def __init__(self, color):
pygame.sprite.Sprite.__init__(self)
self.image = pygame.Surface((50, 50))
self.image.fill((255, 255, 255))
pygame.draw.circle(self.image, (color), (25, 25), 25)
self.rect = self.image.get_rect()
self.startPosx = self.rect.centerx
self.startPosy = self.rect.centery
self.dx = 5
self.dy = 5
def update(self):
self.rect.centerx += self.dx
self.rect.centery += self.dy
if self.rect.right > screen.get_width():
self.rect.left = 0
if self.rect.top > screen.get_height():
self.rect.bottom = 0
def update_circle2(self):
self.rect.centerx -= self.dx
self.rect.centery += self.dy
if self.rect.left < 0:
self.rect.right = 0
if self.rect.top > screen.get_height():
self.rect.bottom = 0
def main():
pygame.display.set_caption("Diagonal Circle")
background = pygame.Surface(screen.get_size())
background.fill((255, 255, 255))
screen.blit(background, (0, 0))
circle1 = Circle(pygame.color.Color("yellow"))
circle2 = Circle(pygame.color.Color("red"))
circle1.startPosx = 0
circle1.startPosy = 0
circle2.startPosx = screen.get_width()
circle2.startPosy = 0
allSprites = pygame.sprite.Group(circle1, circle2)
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
keepGoing = True
while keepGoing:
clock.tick(30)
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
keepGoing = False
allSprites.clear(screen, background)
allSprites.update()
allSprites.draw(screen)
pygame.display.flip()
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
pygame.quit()
