xSGE Physics Framework

xSGE is a collection of higher-level extensions for the SGE which enhance the core functionality in an implementation-independent way. Like the SGE itself, they are distribted under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License.

This extension provides an easy-to-use framework for collision physics. This is especially useful for platformers, though it can also be useful for other types of games.

Note

This collision system supports plain rectangle-based collision detection ONLY. Attempting to use precise or ellipse collision detection will not work as you expect, and may often not even work at all. This is because implementing support for such mask-based collision detection would be guaranteed to be slow, unreliable, and needlessly complicated; it's not worth it.

If you must use precise collision detection, consider doing so with a separate object that follows the appropriate Collider object.

xsge_physics Classes

xsge_physics.Collider

class xsge_physics.Collider(x, y, z=0, *, sprite=None, visible=True, active=True, checks_collisions=True, tangible=True, bbox_x=None, bbox_y=None, bbox_width=None, bbox_height=None, regulate_origin=False, collision_ellipse=False, collision_precise=False, xvelocity=0, yvelocity=0, xacceleration=0, yacceleration=0, xdeceleration=0, ydeceleration=0, image_index=0, image_origin_x=None, image_origin_y=None, image_fps=None, image_xscale=1, image_yscale=1, image_rotation=0, image_alpha=255, image_blend=None, image_blend_mode=None)

Class for objects which have physics interactions.

Note

This class depends on use of Collider.move_x() and Collider.move_y() to handle physics interactions. event_update_position() uses these methods, so speed attributes will work properly, but changing x and y manually will not cause any physics to occur.

nonstick_left
nonstick_right
nonstick_top
nonstick_bottom

These attributes are used by certain wall classes to exclude the object from "sticking" to the wall. See the documentation for the wall classes for more information.

Default value: False

slope_acceleration

The factor by which the collider accelerates on slopes. This is multiplied by the slope_xacceleration and slope_yacceleration values of any slopes the collider is touching and added to the use of xacceleration and yacceleration by event_update_position().

Default value: 0

xsge_physics.Collider Methods

Collider.move_x(move, absolute=False, do_events=True, exclude_events=())

Move the object horizontally, handling physics.

Arguments:

  • move -- The amount to add to x.

  • absolute -- If set to True, the distance moved horizontally is absolute, i.e. will not be reduced as a result of vertical movement caused by slopes. Otherwise, any vertical movement caused by slopes will result in a reduction of horizontal movement.

  • do_events -- Whether or not physics collision events should be executed when appropriate.

  • exclude_events -- A set, list, or tuple of wall objects which should not cause collision events to be executed if collided with.

Collider.move_y(move, absolute=False, do_events=True, exclude_events=())

Move the object vertically, handling physics.

Arguments:

  • move -- The amount to add to y.

  • absolute -- If set to True, the distance moved vertically is absolute, i.e. will not be reduced as a result of horizontal movement caused by slopes. Otherwise, any horizontal movement caused by slopes will result in a reduction of vertical movement.

  • do_events -- Whether or not physics collision events should be executed when appropriate.

  • exclude_events -- A set, list, or tuple of wall objects which should not cause collision events to be executed if collided with.

Called when the left side of the collider collides with a wall or slope in the sense of the physics system, rather than in the sense of SGE collision detection.

Arguments:

  • move_loss -- The amount of movement that was prevented by the collision in pixels. For example, if the object would have moved 6 pixels, but only moved 2 pixels as a result of this collision, this value will be 4. This can be used to undo such a reduction in movement.

A parent class for walls and slopes that can move. When an object of this class moves, it "pushes" any appropriate colliders, as a real wall might be expected to do.

Note

For classes derived from this class to be useful, they also need to inherit one or more of the other wall classes. Objects of this class that are not also objects of other classes will naturally not collide.

Note

This class depends on use of MobileWall.move_x() and MobileWall.move_y() to handle physics interactions. event_update_position() uses these methods, so speed attributes will work properly, but changing x and y manually will not cause any physics to occur.

Default value: True

A parent class for mobile walls that are also colliders. See the documentation for xsge_physics.Collider and xsge_physics.MobileWall for more information.

Note

Due to the way movement is implemented in this class, it is not safe to move this object during its collision events. Doing so may cause colliders that should be stuck to this object to become un-stuck, or cause this object to pass through colliders it should be pushing.
