pydraw-turtle 1.3.4

An (easy) graphical library.

Documentation for the PyDraw Game Engine(PGE)

[!NOTE] PyDraw is now an GAME ENGINE! Also it's leaving W.I.P(Pre-Release) in version 1.6, so expect a lot of new features and optimizations, and of course, a more stable experience! Also since there are so many projects named PyDraw, submit your idea for a new name: https://forms.gle/8p6pJ7tybQe94ENC8

I - Capabilities and installation:

• Primitives(basic shapes): Squares, Circles, Triangles, and more, with their geometrical operations(area, perrimeter, etc)
• Custom shapes(via Vertex): Since PyDraw is based on the Vertex(basic x and y coodronates), you can make Polygons(with an unlimited nr of Vertexes), or an VertexSquare(an square made of vertexes)
• Motion, basic physics and collisions: The Vertex also helps with collisions, making every shape you do colide(of course, only moveable ones). You just define a shape, then you can move/rotate it or resize it!
• Keyboard Input: The library supports listening for keyboard input, allowing you to create interactive applications.
• Sound: The library also has a sound module that can play WAV files natively, and can decode and play other formats with FFmpeg installed.
• Fast updates: i am updating this library quite often! Especially bugfixes, my ahh can't make some nice code. Bugfixes will be part of most updates, so you can enjoy the smoothest, most stable experience! also we have issues so you can report bugs/suggestions there.
• monke hear monke do: i listen to feedback and i implement your ideas(but please don't make them too wacky)

II - Installation

1. Via .url: Open the latest release, run the .url file and run the command from the site.
2. Via pip: run pip install pydraw-turtle, and pip install --upgrade pydraw-turtle for updating.

III - How2Use:

1. Shapes and their initialisations(one with ※ can be used with the Motion class):

• ※Vertex: vertex = Vertex(x: float, y: float)
• Circle: circle = Circle(center: Vertex, radius: float)
• ※Triangle: triangle = Triangle(v1: Vertex, v2: Vertex, v3: Vertex)
• ※Square: square = Square(side: int)
• ※VertexSquare: vsquare = VertexSquare(v1: Vertex, v2: Vertex, v3: Vertex, v4: Vertex)
• Elipse: elipse = Elipse(center: Vertex, a: float, b: float)
• ※RegularPolygon(n-sided shape: rpoly = RegularPolygon(sides: int, side_lenght: float)
• ※Polygon: poly = Polygon(vertecies: list) (make a list full of vertecies)

2. Functions:

(all shapes exept vertex have get_vertices())

• Vertex: getvX(); getvY()

• Line: lenght(); midpoint(), slope()

• Circle: getX(); getY(); getRadius(); area(); circ(); diam(); contains_point(v1: Vertex)

• Triangle: side_lenghts(); perimeter(); area(); is_equilateral(); is_isosceles(); is_right()

• Square: area(); perimeter(); diagonal()

• VertexSquare: area(); perimeter()

• Ellipse: area(); approx_perimeter(); contains_point(v1: Vertex)

• RegularPolygon: perimeter(); interior_angle(); apothem(); area()

• Polygon: area()

3. Importing:

You can import all the things PyDraw has by writing from pydraw import * (not avabile for versions prior to 1.3.2) If your version is 1.3.1, then write from pydraw import <what component you would want> And if your version is prior to 1.3.1, write from core import <what component you would want to import>

4. Movement:

• For 1.3.1 and above: Use the Motion class, with the functions:
• move_to(vx: float, vy: float);
• move_by(vx: float, vy: float);
• set_velocity(vx: float, vy: float);
• accelerate(ax: float, ay: float);
• stop();
• check_edge_collision();
• is_on_screen();
• update().

Example code:

from pydraw import *

pen = PyPen("square chaos")
pen.initialise("white", 2, Speed.INSTANT, "black")

# ── squares ─────────────────────────────

s1 = Square(50)
s1.move_to(-100, -50)

s2 = Square(40)
s2.move_to(80, 60)

s3 = Square(70)
s3.move_to(0, 0)

# ── motion ──────────────────────────────

m1 = Motion(s1, pen, vx=3, vy=2)
m2 = Motion(s2, pen, vx=-2, vy=3.5)
m3 = Motion(s3, pen, vx=1.5, vy=-2.5)

# ── loop ────────────────────────────────

while True:
    pen.clear()

    pen.draw(s1, color="white", fill=True)
    pen.draw(s2, color="red", fill=True)
    pen.draw(s3, color="blue", fill=True)

    m1.update()
    m2.update()
    m3.update()

    # bounce logic
    if not m1.is_on_screen():
        m1.vx *= -1
        m1.vy *= -1

    if not m2.is_on_screen():
        m2.vx *= -1
        m2.vy *= -1

    if not m3.is_on_screen():
        m3.vx *= -1
        m3.vy *= -1

• For version 1.2.0 use the Moveable class, that has the same movement commands as Motion, but whiout the collision stuff, and of course, whiout updating(you need to do it manually via pen.clear() ).

Example code:

import os
import sys
from core import PyPen, Square, Triangle, Vertex, Moveable
from turtle import *
import time

pen = PyPen("dvd!")

pen.initialise("black", 1, 1)

cube = Square(60).move_to(100, 100)

dx, dy = 3, 2  # velocity (speed in x and y)

while True:
    pen.clear()

    # move cube
    cube.move_by(dx, dy)

    x, y = cube.position
    size = cube.side

    # screen bounds (you may tweak these depending on your window)
    left, right = -395, 395
    bottom, top = -330, 330

    # bounce logic
    if x < left or x + size > right:
        dx *= -1

    if y < bottom or y + size > top:
        dy *= -1

    pen.draw(cube, color="purple", fill=True)

    pen.screen.update()
    time.sleep(0.01)

[!TIP] If you need to transition from Moveable to Motion, you just need to add mov = Motion(shape, pen, vx and vy), and it will automaticly change from Moveable to Motion. And yes if you want Moveable instead of Motion just don't initialise it. its called backwards compatability :D (i think)

IV - Sound:

PyDraw has a sound module, that can play WAV files natively, and can decode and play other formats with FFmpeg installed. You can use the Speakers class to play audio files. Just create an instance of Speakers with the path to your audio file, and call the play() method to play it. If your file is not a WAV file, you can call the decode() method first with the appropriate file type (e.g., "mp3", "ogg", etc.) to decode it into memory before playing.

Example code:

from pydraw import Speakers
speaker = Speakers("path/to/your/audiofile.mp3")
speaker.decode("mp3")
speaker.play()

V - Keyboard input:

PyDraw also has a keyboard module that allows you to listen to keyboard input. You can use the Keyboard class to listen for key presses. Just create an instance of Keyboard, and call the start_listening() method to start listening for keyboard input. You can also specify a callback function that will be called whenever a key is pressed.

Example code:

from pydraw import Keyboard
kb = Keyboard()
kb.start_listening()

while True:
    if kb.is_pressed(pynput.keyboard.Key.space):
        print(True)
    else:
        print(False)

VI - Contribuiting and reporting bugs:

You can tell me what issues PyDraw has(because i don't test it too often), by going into the issues section of GitHub. Also, you can suggest me some new ideas there too. Forking is allowed, and you can fork freely, and even merge with the main repo. But if you make your own fork, be sure to give credit.
