How can i shoot a bullet with space bar?
The general approach to firing bullets is to store the positions of the bullets in a list (bullet_list
). When a bullet is fired, add the bullet's starting position ([start_x, start_y]
) to the list. The starting position is the position of the object (player or enemy) that fires the bullet. Use a for
-loop to iterate through all the bullets in the list. Move position of each individual bullet in the loop. Remove a bullet from the list that leaves the screen (bullet_list.remove(bullet_pos)
). For this reason, a copy of the list (bullet_list[:]
) must be run through (see How to remove items from a list while iterating?). Use another for
-loop to blit
the remaining bullets on the screen:
bullet_list = []
while run == True:
# [...]
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
run = False
if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
if event.key == pygame.K_SPACE:
bullet_list.append([start_x, start_y])
for bullet_pos in bullet_list[:]:
bullet_pos[0] += move_bullet_x
bullet_pos[1] += move_bullet_y
if not screen.get_rect().colliderect(bullet_image.get_rect(center = bullet_pos))
bullet_list.remove(bullet_pos)
# [...]
for bullet_pos in bullet_list[:]
screen.blit(bullet_image, bullet_image.get_rect(center = bullet_pos))
# [...]

Please note, that class names should normally use the CapWords convention.

That means it has to be Player
and Bullet
rather than player
and bullet
You have an application loop, so use it. All the objects are continuously updated and drawn in the main application loop, in each frame.
The class Bullet
do not need any loop. The constructor has to have parameters for the position (x
, y
). Further it needs on method which changes the position and one which draws the bullet:
class Bullet:
def __init__(self, x, y):
self.radius = 10
self.speed = 10
self.x = x
self.y = y
def update(self):
self.y -= self.speed#
def draw(self):
pygame.draw.circle(d, (255, 0, 0), (self.x, self.y), self.radius)
Use a list of bullets
. Create a new bullet when space is pressed. Move the bullets (update
) in every frame an remove
a bullet if it is out of the window. Draw the remaining bullets in every frame:
bullets = []
# [...]
while run:
for event in pygame.event.get():
# [...]
if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
if event.key == pygame.K_SPACE:
bullets.append(Bullet(p.x+p.width//2, p.y))
# [...]
for b in bullets:
b.update()
if b.y < 0:
bullets.remove(b)
# [...]
for b in bullets:
b.draw()
Furthermore use pygame.key.get_pressed()
use to get the state of the keys in every frame and to update the position of the player:
while run:
# [...]
keys = pygame.key.get_pressed()
if keys[pygame.K_LEFT]:
p.move_left()
if keys[pygame.K_RIGHT]:
p.move_right()
Complete example:
import pygame, os
os.environ["SDL_VIDEO_CENTERED"] = "1"
pygame.init()
win = pygame.display
d = win.set_mode((1200, 600))
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
class Player:
def __init__(self, x, y, height, width):
self.x = x
self.y = y
self.height = height
self.width = width
self.speed = 2
def draw(self):
pygame.draw.rect(d, (0, 0, 0), (self.x, self.y, self.width, self.height))
def move_left(self):
self.x -= self.speed
def move_right(self):
self.x += self.speed
class Bullet:
def __init__(self, x, y):
self.radius = 10
self.speed = 10
self.x = x
self.y = y
def update(self):
self.y -= self.speed#
def draw(self):
pygame.draw.circle(d, (255, 0, 0), (self.x, self.y), self.radius)
bullets = []
p = Player(600, 500, 50, 30)
run = True
while run:
clock.tick(100)
# handel events
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
run = False
if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
if event.key == pygame.K_SPACE:
bullets.append(Bullet(p.x+p.width//2, p.y))
# update objects
keys = pygame.key.get_pressed()
if keys[pygame.K_LEFT]:
p.move_left()
if keys[pygame.K_RIGHT]:
p.move_right()
for b in bullets:
b.update()
if b.y < 0:
bullets.remove(b)
# clear display
d.fill((98, 98, 98))
# draw scene
for b in bullets:
b.draw()
p.draw()
# update display
win.update()
