PyGame Examples and Answers

PyGame - PyGame documentation

This repository is an excerpt and explanations of answers to PyGame questions published on Stack Overflow and answered by the author of this repository.
It does not contain an application, just a collection of examples. Initially I just wanted to bring order to a bunch of PyGame examples on my local drive. The examples should not be sophisticated, they should be kept as simple as possible. Each example should just spot one single issue. However, this is not a complete PyGame tutorial, but rather a FAQ.
This page provides links to the relevant Stack Overflow questions and live examples on repl.it. The examples are roughly divided into topics. My first language isn't English, but I did my best. I struggle with English grammar, which is the bill of my laziness at school.
The site is still under construction 🚧.

Why do you use CompileProgram?

Hello,

I am sorry I don't understand what does it mean for CompileProgram?

Please use "normal" Modern OpenGL like
glCreateProgram, glAttachShader, glLinkProgram and glDetachShader

Sorry I don't like who has cheated function for Python. You know many coders miss understand what does it work for OpenGL under Python. Please make sure "legit" OpenGL 4

Thanks for the help!

This is the only way I could see to message you something, sorry.
Just wanted to thank you for your fantastic answer on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56609044/how-create-a-camera-on-pyopengl-that-can-do-perspective-rotations-on-mouse-mov/56609894#56609894

Your answer really helped me for my school project. We are supposed to be making a 2D game with App Game Kit, but I decided to use Python and learn about 3D graphics. So my teacher can't really help me with OpenGL, but you sure did. I had no idea OpenGL had built in shading, that is gonna make my game look SO much better. Otherwise I was going to write a shitty colour gradient based on distance or somehting, but turns out a couple of OpenGL lines is all it takes! And for the mouse movement, which is how I found your answer, that will really help. I thought I would have had to use trigonometry and gluLookAt to rotate the camera on its Y axis, but your code will make that a lot easier.

Anyway, thanks so much for all the help you've given me and other people on stack overflow. Please consider adding an email to your stackoverflow or github, or allowing messages on twitter, so people can thank you more easily
