Camera

class Camera(size: pygame.math.Vector2)

Bases: object

Basic math for getting view of game world

zoom

positive numbers “zoom out”, negative numbers “zoom in”

• World units are equal to pixels at zoom level of 0.0

__init__(size: pygame.math.Vector2)

centre(pos: pygame.math.Vector2)

Immediately centre the camera on a world point

clamp(rect: pygame.Rect)

Move camera so that it is contained in the rect

Has same behaviour as pygame.Rect.clamp

get_centre() → pygame.math.Vector2

Get copy of the position

get_rect() → pygame.Rect

Return Pygame Rect representing the visible area of the camera

get_size() → pygame.math.Vector2

Return vector of the size after zoom is applied

move(x: int = 0, y: int = 0)

Immediately move the camera by relative amount

render_offset() → pygame.math.Vector2

Return vector for drawing offset

reset_movement()

Immediately move camera to tracked position

set_target_entity(entity: Optional[int])

Smoothly track a game entity. Pass None to clear.

set_target_position(pos: Optional[pygame.math.Vector2])

Move camera to position over time. Pass None to clear.

update(delta_time: float)

Update camera movements
