#47669 — PyGame tutorial?

SubjectPyGame tutorial?
Message-ID<b3db43fc-8e80-4e94-a59e-51f0f8dabee2@googlegroups.com>
Is there a PyGame tutorial out there? I've seen TheNewBoston's tuts, but he didn't finish his. MetalX100 did a VERY good tutorial. I've been having trouble with some player movement because he isn't moving smoothly, he jumps. If I add 5 pixels to his X position if I press a button, jumps to the next 5 pixels instead of smoothly moving. If I just add 5 pixels normally, he moves smooth.

Thanks! Any help is appreciated!

There is a whole list of tutorials here:
http://www.pygame.org/docs/#tutorials
and here:
http://www.pygame.org/wiki/tutorials

But I already gave you those links, so I don't know what else you are
looking for.

I looked at those and they didn't cover the sprite thing I'd like :P

Also, is there a specific forum for PyGame or is here fine?

Go to pygame.org and click the link "Help (irc, lists)" in the
navigation menu.  I could give you the direct link, but I want to
point out that this stuff is readily available on the pygame website,
if you would bother to look.

You can ask here, but you would probably find more and better help there.

Try typing "pygame tutorial" into your favourite search and see what 
comes back, you might be pleasantly surprised.

I guess it's your lucky day then -- 174,000 hits just went up overnight.
