I am continuing with a Hangman project, and I have encountered a problem with a for loop and performing a function inside it. For example, if you press in a level named 'CANADA', and you press 'B', since there are no Bs in Canada, it should draw the first line of the Hangman. This is what I've done so far:
def hangman1():
pygame.draw.line(screen, black, (775, 250), (775, 50), (4))
def hangman2():
pygame.draw.line(screen, black, (750, 250), (800, 250), (4))
def hangman3():
pygame.draw.line(screen, black, (775, 50), (925, 50), (4))
def hangman4():
pygame.draw.line(screen, black, (925, 50), (925, 175), (4))
def hangman5():
pygame.draw.circle(screen, black, (925, 100), 30, (0))
def hangman6():
pygame.draw.line(screen, black, (925, 125), (925, 200), (4))
def hangman7():
pygame.draw.line(screen, black, (885, 160), (965, 160), (4))
def hangman8():
pygame.draw.line(screen, black, (925, 200), (900, 225), (4))
def hangman9():
pygame.draw.line(screen, black, (925, 200), (950, 225), (4))
After a bit more code...
letters = list('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz')
a = font2.render(str(letters[0]), True, (black))
b = font2.render(str(letters[1]), True, (black))
c = font2.render(str(letters[2]), True, (black))
d = font2.render(str(letters[3]), True, (black))
e = font2.render(str(letters[4]), True, (black))
f = font2.render(str(letters[5]), True, (black))
g = font2.render(str(letters[6]), True, (black))
h = font2.render(str(letters[7]), True, (black))
i = font2.render(str(letters[8]), True, (black))
j = font2.render(str(letters[9]), True, (black))
k = font2.render(str(letters[10]), True, (black))
l = font2.render(str(letters[11]), True, (black))
m = font2.render(str(letters[12]), True, (black))
n = font2.render(str(letters[13]), True, (black))
o = font2.render(str(letters[14]), True, (black))
p = font2.render(str(letters[15]), True, (black))
q = font2.render(str(letters[16]), True, (black))
r = font2.render(str(letters[17]), True, (black))
s = font2.render(str(letters[18]), True, (black))
t = font2.render(str(letters[19]), True, (black))
u = font2.render(str(letters[20]), True, (black))
v = font2.render(str(letters[21]), True, (black))
w = font2.render(str(letters[22]), True, (black))
x = font2.render(str(letters[23]), True, (black))
y = font2.render(str(letters[24]), True, (black))
z = font2.render(str(letters[25]), True, (black))
Then...
hangman = [hangman1, hangman2, hangman3, hangman4, hangman5, hangman6, hangman7, hangman8, hangman9]
for linebyline in hangman:
Later...
elif b1.collidepoint(pygame.mouse.get_pos()):
letter = letters[1]
check = country.count(letter)
if check >= 1:
if letter == letters[0]:
aPosition = 325, 235
a3 = screen.blit((a), (375, 235))
a4 = screen.blit((a), (425, 235))
a1.x, a1.y = -500, -500
elif letter == letters[2]:
cPosition = 300, 235
c1.x, c1.y = -500, -500
elif letter == letters[13]:
nPosition = 450, 235
n1.x, n1.y = -500, -500
elif letter == letters[3]:
dPosition = 600, 235
d1.x, d1.y = -500, -500
else:
b2 = font.render(str(letters[1]), True, (red))
screen.blit(b2, (485, 325))
linebyline()
time.sleep(0.5)
bPosition = -500, -500
b1.x, b1.y = -500, -500
When I press B, it turns red, and in 0.5 seconds it disappears, but it doesn't draw the line. Any help?
EDIT: I did some testing with another module, and the function thing works perfectly fine with printing normal text. But when I tested it again with drawing (Pygame), it worked, but when combined other things (like time.sleep()
), it shows a white screen. When combined with a print
the drawing thing doesn't work but the printing does. Also, if I added a time.sleep(1)
, it would have a black screen for exactly nine seconds, without doing anything else. This is my test code:
import pygame, sys, random, time
from pygame.locals import *
pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((1000, 700))
pygame.display.set_caption("Hangman: Countries")
black = 0, 0, 0
def hangman1():
pygame.draw.line(screen, black, (775, 250), (775, 50), (4))
print 'test'
def hangman2():
pygame.draw.line(screen, black, (750, 250), (800, 250), (4))
print 'test somethin'
def hangman3():
pygame.draw.line(screen, black, (775, 50), (925, 50), (4))
print 'test something else'
def hangman4():
pygame.draw.line(screen, black, (925, 50), (925, 175), (4))
print 'eggs'
def hangman5():
pygame.draw.circle(screen, black, (925, 100), 30, (0))
print 'hangman'
def hangman6():
pygame.draw.line(screen, black, (925, 125), (925, 200), (4))
print 'facebook'
def hangman7():
pygame.draw.line(screen, black, (885, 160), (965, 160), (4))
print 'internet'
def hangman8():
pygame.draw.line(screen, black, (925, 200), (900, 225), (4))
print 'more tests'
def hangman9():
pygame.draw.line(screen, black, (925, 200), (950, 225), (4))
print 'cheese'
while True:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == QUIT:
pygame.quit()
sys.exit()
screen.fill((255, 255, 255))
list1 = [hangman1(), hangman2(), hangman3(), hangman4(), hangman5(), hangman6(), hangman7(), hangman8(), hangman9()]
for greet in list1:
greet
time.sleep(1)
pygame.display.flip()
It prints a bunch of words at the same time in the shell, and then after nine seconds the screen changes into the hangman fully drawn, and the same set of words come back on. Any ideas, anyone of you with experience at Pygame?
