A drawing and physics engine for Pygame
Project description
Phoenyx - Pygame Engine v0.3.0
Some simple classes in python that could make your life much simplier. Relies on pygame, numpy and pymunk, based on the idea of the Processing language.
Get the latest stable version using pip with
pip install phoenyx
.
What it does
This library allows you to create graphical components in pygame in a very few lines of code. It handles all color management, stroke weights and filling for you. It also provides a Vector and a SanBox wrapper class for pymunk suitable for physics engines and more mathematical drawings.
Please go and check pygame and pymunk for their amazing work ! Additionnal kudos to Daniel Shiffman.
How to ?
Please refer to the examples folder on GitHub for very simple but effective test files. You can now also read the helpme file for all available methods and objects.
from phoenyx import *
renderer: Renderer = Renderer(600, 600, "collision")
sandbox: SandBox = SandBox(renderer, 300, 300, bounce=True)
def setup() -> None:
ball_opts = {"friction": .99, "elasticity": .99}
seg_opts = {"friction": .99, "elasticity": .8}
sandbox.add_ball(300, 40, 1, 10, **ball_opts)
sandbox.add_ball(295, 80, 1, 10, **ball_opts)
sandbox.add_ball(305, 60, 1, 10, **ball_opts)
sandbox.add_segment((50, 500), (550, 400), 5, **seg_opts)
sandbox.set_gravity(y=900)
renderer.set_background(51)
renderer.text_size = 15
renderer.text_color = 255
def draw() -> None:
sandbox.step()
sandbox.draw()
renderer.text(10, 10, f"fps : {round(renderer.fps)}")
if __name__ == "__main__":
renderer.run()
Requirements
Obviously some distribution of python : python 3.9
or above is required.
You will also need pygame
in order to use the Renderer, numpy
to use Vectors math and pymunk
to enable physics. To upgrade to a more recent version of any lib, run pip install --upgrade ...
. Requirements will automatically be met with pip when installing phoenyx.
Licenses
Phoenyx is licensed under the GPLv3. See LICENSE for more details. Phoenyx also includes the following components from other open source projects (see LICENSES folder for more) :
- numpy licensed under the BSD 3-Clause "New" or "Revised" License
- pygame licensed under the GNU LGPL version 2.1 License
- pymunk licensed under the MIT License
Changelog
Please refer to the changelog file for the full history.
Migrating to the pymunk library for better physics (and complete support of chapes, joints and constraints). Only some shapes have been implemented yet. Please wait for joints, strings and motorized vehicles !
v0.3.0 : to pymunk (click to expand)
- first points of previous non released update
- restructured the SandBox class completely, please be carefull when updating lib and importing code
- new static object called segment
TODOs
option to hide buttons and sliders or to draw them only when neededoption of alts drawing methods for buttonskeyboard integration- scrollbars
and side menus interractive drawingphysics Sandbox- more physics happening for bodies
- get rid of the renderer and sandbox objects and bring all methods into main scope (not guaranteed)
