Absolutely genius way to handle animation speed, short and efficient.
you_said_it == True
the way you handled animation speed is just the best in my opinion,i was struggling with that but thanks to you i got it
Hey, thank you so much for your video!
I have started to learn pygame a week ago and I am currently working on a game. This video helped me a lot and you explain everything in a very good way!
Thank you!

Here, you can make a for loop which can loop through the name like:
for i in range(1, 11):
path_name = "attack_"+str(i)+".png"
image = pygame.image.load(path_name)
self.sprites.append(image)
If you are working with a lot of images, this may help
You can use f strings:
for i in range(1, 11):
image = pygame.image.load(f"attack_{i}.png")
self.sprites.append(image)
If you are working on a lot of images, is convenient having a spritesheet.
You can also use a list comprehension as short hand for the for-loop.
self.sprites = [pygame.image.load(f"attack_{i + 1}.png") for i in range(10)]

for i in range(1, 11):
image = pygame.image.load("attack_{}.png".format(i))
self.sprites.append(image)
@@0rd3r you're absolutely right but people generally prefer f strings as f strings are usually more convinient--especially when you have to use a lot of formatting--since you can manually place the variables where you want them to be instead of using the respectively logic.
Finally, I found it, you are the best. Thank you sooooooo much.
This is the best pygame animation tutorial on CZcams.
Amazing video! Really useful descriptions of everything and a great explanation too. Thank you very much!
IDK why this video shows now for me after 2 years of uploading but this is great thing
He helped me
Videos keep getting better!
In this video, your code is easy to use so it will help me make my own game better. Thank you !😊
hey ! i'm french and i find that you explain very good. You speak slowly and your vocabulary is simple !
i don't understand why you don't continute videos.
i'm french too and i agree with that
Thanks for the tutorial, it helped me a lot.
Finally know how to make a proper animation!
I suggest one simple improvement to the code (got it from stackoverflow):
When you load all the images for the animation, you use one line of code for each images (in the Player class).
You could do this instead:
for filename in os.listdir(folder):
img = pygame.image.load(os.path.join(folder,filename))
if img is not None:
images.append(img)
The only thing you need to do is assing the directory of the folder with all the images in it.
It will automaticly store all those images in a list.
I think that this is a little more robust, because if you want to change the animation you don't need to change the code.
(keep in mind that the order of those images in that folder are important)
Thanks!
TYSM! You have helped me with lots of problems in pygame!
This tutorial was really helpful, thank you so much :D
The animation speed was my main convern, thanks!!!!!
Like your programming stile! Keep it up!
Wonderful stuff !!! Thank you so much for theses videos.
Thanks a lot. I have successfully created my own animation of Goku using your help.
This saved me!! Thanks, awesome video!
Sprite Groups! I needed this! Thank you!
I hacked this one time using PowerPoint: by copying instances of a single image, then working with the “appear” animated effect and the time of appearance and disappearance, then setting object in front of each other corresponding with animation I would make things blip across the screen lol ... that was my little hack.
Now I’m trying to understand this lol it’s taking some time. I just started learning like a week ago. Thank you for your tutorial.
thanks for the video, this was something i wanted to know how to do.
Bro your tutorial is so cool!!!
very clever fix for the animation speed
This is amazing, thank you :)
Thank you man great video
You deserve million subs
Excellent tutorial 👍🏽
awesome man, very helpful!
Very useful! Thank you so much!!!
The way you slowed down the animation, that was really cool, I am so glad I could find your channel
Please tell how to add animated gifs to pygame
what a wonderful coding!

Damm .. I thank CZcams , I saw this video in my recommendations .. Tried Searching this stuff
Thank you ! this was awsome
It's amazing 👍
how to make the back ground of the frog transparent so that it can be anywhere like the beginning of the vid and how to just let it automatically do action after a particular time
that's clever using int() to space out the frames
Awsome tutorial
Hora... Haina hola
Thanks for the video!
good job! Thank you!
Is it necessary to use self. for variables that will not be accessed from outside a class? For example, in your Player class, you create a self.is_animating boolean attribute. Could you just use is_animating instead?
Nice!
like in the code , you use screen.fill((0,0,0))
but i don't want to fill the screen black , i want the background image in my game to remain same while running the animation
Amazing this is super cool I enjoyed following along with the programming, however, my simulation seems to overlap images and not clearing the previous image why could this be the case ?
you need to add a background to the entire game otherwise you can always see the previous drawn frames.
Thank you you the best
Hey, this video was really good. I kept searching till I could find something like this
lol 2 years later i see this comment lmao
Thank you very much
@@ClearCode I have a question. The website u got it from was the pictures in a sprite sheet or separate images.
also if I make my own sprit sheet how does it cycle through the different images if they are all in the same sheet.
@@ech0_exe243 you would basically have to cut out a specific part of that sprite sheet and store it on its own surface. There are lots of other pygame sprite sheet tutorials, most of them use that approach actually. But it is rather tedious, I'm afraid.
@@ClearCode alright thank you! Im just starting animating for my game.
that frog pixelart was cool where can i get more like this
It's beautiful to see how you explain, I don't understand English, even so it is perfectly understood.
It would be great if you made the videos explained in Spanish. That way it would be much easier to understand for the Spanish-speaking public.
And your audience would grow much more.
MUCHAS GRACIAS TU VIDEO ESTA GENIAL!!!
Make more videos, you have no idea how much you are contributing to beginners
for slowing down , i implemented a counter , that will count back till 10 one by one on each frame, after that update the sprite , and update itself back to 10 , simplest method that i developed myself
Thank you so much
NIIIIIIIIIIIIICEEE BRO
Aren't 3d moves made following the same principle? Would be interesting if you made a video about it too
Instead of using an if statement, would it be better to use the modulo operator to keep the current_sprite number under the max index length?
yes but the if statment serves to not just limit the current sprite number but also serves to end the animation
im new to OOP, can you tell me why animate() is called on player.animate() and not like this: moving_sprites.animate()?
thank you
thaaaank you! Could you please make a tutorial on good practice for modularizing code in pygame? It would be insanely helpful and I haven't seen any tutorials on the subject. Your work is insanely good.
that comes next Wednesday actually :)
@@ClearCode
@@tiran315 It will come soon! sorry
Great video but now how would we move the x and y position of that?
just change the values for self.rect to whatever you need, this is not going to affect the animation
we can use:
for i in range(1,10):
self.sprite.append(pygame.image.load(f"attack_{i}.png"))
instead of repeating the same line...btw video was very helpful
I used the same approach in my game
Note that in this implementation the final frame will display for a shorter period of time than other frames for values of speed < 1.
It simply needs to change >= to >
You can use
(animation_insex + 0.15) % length
Like this it would be lossless
Can i get the link of your music you using in this video?
Yes this is a good video but you have any idea how to move the sprites on WASD events?
Amateur here, hopefully you got this after a year, but wouldn’t it just be
while keyinput(or whatever pygame uses for this) == true:
Proceed through the animating process with all that code from the video of the for loop?
@@Acradus lol i did get this after a yer, thanks though
Bro can you tell me if I pressed w it should show one animation with one button one
question, i'm making a character and it can move right and left , it can also jump but when i stand still it freezes on one image even though i have 4 sprites for standing still, but it's not going through them, how can i add your method so that when i don't press anything it goes through the 4 sprites of the (still) variable in my code? here is the code if you want to see:

Well, I never try to make standing animations, but I think you can try to make a for loop who goes from 0 to less than 4 (number of your animation sprites) to keep scrolling the animation while your character is not in moving
Hey another great tut:)
I downloaded some sheets and cutted them in single PNGs. They are 250x250 but the figure on it is only 70x70 so when i load in pygame and do get.rect() i always get the 250x250…
Coding with russ has a good tutorial on how to use spritesheets. It'll solve your problem
@@blankblank1273 ok thank you will check it out:)
Great job, this helped me a lot for understanding basics of pygame but my pictures wont open, do you have any clue what could be problem?
Hey, do you have the pictures in the same folder as the script? Do you get an error message?
@@ClearCode No they arent and yes an error message pops up.

Can we instead do ?:

yes, should be fine
Just forgot something b4 the appends

@@ClearCode :)
This is really confusing for what I'm trying to do :/
I'm making a top down game that updates the sprite based on the button that's pressed at the current moment and this code conflicts with that.
Could you make a video with a tutorial that plays an animation on the sprite during an event, rather than changing the sprite itself?
Like a death event that plays an explosion on a spaceship, or a shooting event that shows a fire/explode animation that comes out of a weapon?
this doesn't conflict with any of that. use the concept to write the code yourself.
Ok. Yes. This was straight forward. Super helpful for my first time using class. HOW DO YOU ROTATE THE FROG TO LOOK DOWN WHEN YOU PREES K_s!?!?
That's a cool tutorial, but is there a way to have some sprites going faster than others?
Like sprite 1 stays for 4 frames and sprite 2 stays for 7 frames
you have a list of sprites, just copy the one you want to have multiply times a few times. Bit of a hack but should work well :)
hello! i am having a problem with my code where its saying AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get_rect' do you maybe know how to fix this?
nvm i fixed it i was just using os instead of pygame.image.load
I downloaded the code and run it in vscode, what happened is there's no animation on the sprite. Can anyone tell me how to fix this.
please make a video on aniamtion via. spritesheets
My frogs are a bit small. How could I make them bigger?
Can u add the Seperate PNG's in the asset files please..
hey so sorry for forgetting, added the link to the description now (github.com/clear-code-projects/animation)
how do i do it with multiple sprite sheets
How do I increase the size of the frogs? I tried using these codes below but it didnt seem to work.
"""
self.current_sprite = 0
self.image = self.sprites[self.current_sprite]
self.image = pygame.transform.scale(self.image(300,300))
self.rect = self.image.get_rect(topleft = (pos_x,pos_y))
"""
i have the same problem, did you managed to figure out what it was?
This is niec and simple, maybe too simple as this is not going to scale to large numbers of animations and sprites. I was hoping for something beyond the basics of playing animation is a fixed linear time i.e. easing functions etc
Hi, ii used to aply :
current-image +=1
current_image%=number_of_pictures
So it could be more efficient
I changed the Payer __init__ method a bit :
self.images = ['attack_1','attack_2','attack_3','attack_4','attack_5',
'attack_6','attack_7','attack_8','attack_9','attack_10']
self.sprites = [pygame.image.load(frog+'.png') for frog in self.images ]
self.attack_animation = False
self.current_sprite = 0
self.image = self.sprites[self.current_sprite]
self.rect = self.image.get_rect()
self.rect.topleft = [pos_x,pos_y]
even though I don't understand much English, I was able to follow along, thank you for your teaching.
could teach how to move character + map the same in game as Zelda - A link to The past.?
Hey, glad you liked it. And a zelda style tutorial is in the works, but I have some other things planned first, so it's gonna take a week or two
Thanks, I will follow and wait.
For my ref : Every frame we change the sprite image.But we want to reduce the speed ie after 5 frames we want to change the image to the next animation image,hence we need to increment by 1/5 = 0.2 every frame.
Where can I contact you?
I am a student who is making a game. I need to have an interview with an expert in the field and I think you are a good choice.
I also need a little help in the game I am making so in the interview I will be making some queries.
,Thankyou
what da frog doin
I want this without filling background black
just change screen.fill(0,0,0) to any other rgb value and you can choose just about any color
@@ClearCode I know that but I don't want that. I have solved it Thx
"Player" object has no attribute "image"
But you are not able to make animation faster this way, cause you are losing sprites. If you set speed =2, you show just 1, 3, 5 , 7, 9 sprites (or 0,2 ,4 ,6 ,8)... ????
Nope that doesnt work for me
This absolutely abolishes the idea of an sprite sheet. The idea is to have all the animations in one file so that you dont have to load 10 files and then iterate through them.
Move to 7:49 to see button press animation
get_rect never fails to make me laugh
10:17
The frog won't appear when i run the code. I put the frog folder with 10 images in VS. Here is my code: pastebin.com/h1wAnqpx
hey, I had a quick look:
on line 25 you have a typo (it should be self.is_animating instead of self.in_animating)
on line 32 the if statement needs to be indented
Didn't have time to test it myself, but I realised that I didn't upload the project files, will upload it in a bit; then you can test it yourself.
Solved the problem... #drawing had to be on the same line as "for event in pygame.event.get():". Thanks for the quick response anyway :)
