Pygame Zero Helper enhance Pygame Zero with additional capabilities

pgzhelper

Pygame Zero Helper was originally created to enhance Pygame Zero with additional capabilities that were available in Scratch (eg. move_forward, point_towards, distance_to), but it has since evolved to include a large number of collision detection functions that are useful in games.

The capabilities provided by pgzhelp can be roughly divided into...

• Actor enhancements
  • Additional capabilities for a Pygame Zero Actor
  • Examples:
    • Movements: move_forward, point_towards
    • Animation: images, animate, fps
    • Image: scale, flip_x, flip_y
• Collision detection
  • Detect collision between points, lines, circles, rect (AABB), rect (OBB)
  • Examples:
    • Collide.circle_line() : Check if a circle is colliding with a line
    • Collide.obb_points() : Check if an OBB rect is colliding with any of the given points
• Utility
  • Small utility functions
  • Examples:
    • For Pygame Zero: toggle_fullscreen, hide_mouse
    • Movement and directions: distance_to, direction_to
