Making text appear one character at a time [PyGame]
dialog, pygame, python, text
Solution
import pygame, sys
from pygame.locals import *
WINDOW_WIDTH = 500
WINDOW_HEIGHT = 500
pygame.init()
DISPLAYSURF = pygame.display.set_mode((WINDOW_WIDTH, WINDOW_HEIGHT))
BLACK = ( 0, 0, 0)
WHITE = (255, 255, 255)
def display_text_animation(string):
text = ''
for i in range(len(string)):
DISPLAYSURF.fill(WHITE)
text += string[i]
text_surface = font.render(text, True, BLACK)
text_rect = text_surface.get_rect()
text_rect.center = (WINDOW_WIDTH/2, WINDOW_HEIGHT/2)
DISPLAYSURF.blit(text_surface, text_rect)
pygame.display.update()
pygame.time.wait(100)
def main():
while True:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == QUIT:
pygame.quit()
sys.exit()
display_text_animation('Hello World!')
main()
NOTE: I haven't used pygame before so this may not work.
Problem
I am trying to make the dialog appear one character at a time (Like in Pokemon games and other similar). I have searched over the internet but have not managed to find anything helpful. I am aware of another question asked like this, but it didn't solve what I am trying to do. I know this can be done because I have seen games made with python where this has been done.
