Re: [pygame] [Pygame] Smooth Animation
Hi Yannisv, I've written a module for Pygame that handles sprite animation for you. You can set each frame of animation to last for a specific number of seconds no matter what the frame rate is. The module is called Pyganim (Pygame Animation): http://inventwithpython.com/pyganim/ -Al On Thu, Nov 22, 2012 at 8:46 PM, Noel Garwick wrote: > Hey, OP, you may want to read and/or outright use this library: > http://inventwithpython.com/pyganim/index.html > > It has a partially written tutorial, but rather helpful examples. > > > On Thu, Nov 22, 2012 at 4:11 PM, Greg Ewing > wrote: > >> yannisv wrote: >> >>> Yes, I am.

Hey, OP, you may want to read and/or outright use this library: http://inventwithpython.com/pyganim/index.html It has a partially written tutorial, but rather helpful examples.

There's no way around that. -- Greg
Re: [pygame] [Pygame] Smooth Animation
Hi, you can use "time-based" animation. animt = 0# actual frame time (int) animf = 0# animation frame (int) fps = 100 clock = pygame.time.Clock() while True: tdelta = clock.tick(fps)# ms from last tick # movement pixels_per_second = 100 m = (tdelta / 1000.0) * pixels_per_second .move_ip(0, -m) # image frames image_fps = 2# image_fps > 0 animt += tdelta if animt >= 1000.0/image_fps: animf += 1 .image = images[animf] On 11/22/2012 01:08 PM, yannisv wrote: Yes, I am.

A less perfect solution is to change the animation frame once every 2 or more of movement frames. This will make the movement smooth and the animation slow enough, but it may look like the character's feet are sliding on the ground... -- Radomir Dopieralski, http://sheep.art.pl

Yes, I am. The problem is when I set the FPS to ~12, and use clock.tick(FPS) inside the loop, that movement looks terrible (as expected). When I set the FPS to 30 or 60, the movement does look better, but the frames change extremely fast. -- View this message in context: http://pygame-users.25799.n6.nabble.com/Pygame-Smooth-Animation-tp346p348.html Sent from the pygame-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
[pygame] [Pygame] Smooth Animation
Hello everyone. Just a quick question: I have made a character I can move around, and the walking animation consists of 4 frames. My problem is that if I set the resolution too high for a smooth movement animation, the frames change too fast, and if I set it too low, the animation is not smooth at all. It works like this: What should I do? Thanks in advance. -- View this message in context: http://pygame-users.25799.n6.nabble.com/Pygame-Smooth-Animation-tp346.html Sent from the pygame-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
