video system not initializing

[ARcoder10]

I have written a code for a game in pygame_functions and an issue is showing up

pygame.error video system not initialized and therefore the any keyboard or mouse command is not working.

I'm guessing you have not used screenSize to create a screen, but if you post a sample of the code I can see.

Hi , I thank you for replying to my issue with pygame_functions at such a short notice. In the code , I have put the endWait() function inside the main game loop which prevents the game from hanging but if I place it outside the main game loop at the end of the game the game hangs when I perform the mouse control i.e. click the sprite. Below is the file containing my program:

I don't think you added it. You could put it on Codepile and share a link if you prefer

Sorry, for the inconvenience, this is the link of code on Codeplie , I could not import the image you can use your own and I guess you can get the point and you would have pygame_functions. Link : https://www.codepile.net/pile/12WbVkPb

You may notice updatedisplay() to be inside the if statement that is just a mistake I made when making the pile it is actually outside the if statement and inside the loop On Wed, May 20, 2020, 3:19 AM Abdul Rahman Memon <arm9667325@gmail.com> wrote:

Yeah, this is an issue if you have a loop that doesn't have any frame limiting in it. I'm not entirely sure why it occurs. It doesn't happen if you add a pause() command or a tick() command into the loop. For example: https://www.codepile.net/pile/LknavwqB You can set the fps to whatever you like. That should fix it. Also, endWait() should probably be outside the loop, as that makes everything stop.

Hi, I am ARCoder10 , a git hub user and I wanted to ask you , Mr Steve Paget , about how I can hide multiple sprites at a time in pygame_functions . Link :https://www.codepile.net/pile/A15yEm1b Above is a codePile link in which I have made a function to hide two sprites , It works but I have to identify both sprites for it to work I wanted to ask you for how can I change this to specify any range of sprites to hide without needing to specify all of them for example the function may have a limit of up to five sprites but I could specify to hide a three or four sprites .

[StevePaget]

This actually already works. When you call hidesprite, instead of a single sprite, send it a list of sprites you want to hide:

hidesprite( [sprite1, sprite2] )

[ARcoder10]

Hi , I wanted to ask if there is a function or method in which you can connect if statements and textBoxInputs in pygame_functions for example if I input something in the text box I want something to happen , if there is one please let me know or tell me an alternative , the following CodePile Link shows the example. Link : https://www.codepile.net/pile/BgmLOD6Z

I'm not sure what you mean. At the moment textBoxInput returns a value, which you can test. What else would you like it to do?

[ARcoder10]

Hi, you can understand from the following example in Code Pile link below: Link : https://www.codepile.net/pile/No9dmQX0 The program in the pile uses the function InputedText(textBoxName,text), which is a made up function I have made to describe the function I want to use. the function checks the text inputed in the TextBox , in this case , if the text inputed is equal to the password 'Access Granted' is printed else 'Access Denied ' is printed I wanted to ask how do I check the text inputed in a text box , and initiate an output for a specific input as done in the code pile

Yes, but you have answered your own question! It's just one line of code to write an IF, so I'm not sure what the saving is to make a new function. Unless you were wanting to assign a function to the text box, but that's really the sort of thing you would expect from a wholly event-driven interface which Pygame doesn't currently offer.
