Window and View#

arcade.close_window#

arcade.close_window() None[source]#

Closes the current window, and then runs garbage collection. The garbage collection is necessary to prevent crashing when opening/closing windows rapidly (usually during unit tests).

arcade.create_orthogonal_projection#

arcade.create_orthogonal_projection(left: float, right: float, bottom: float, top: float, near: float = 1, far: float = - 1) pyglet.math.Mat4[source]#

Creates an orthogonal projection matrix. Used internally with the OpenGL shaders. It creates the same matrix as the deprecated/removed glOrtho OpenGL function.

Parameters
  • left (float) – The left of the near plane relative to the plane’s center.

  • right (float) – The right of the near plane relative to the plane’s center.

  • top (float) – The top of the near plane relative to the plane’s center.

  • bottom (float) – The bottom of the near plane relative to the plane’s center.

  • near (float) – The distance of the near plane from the camera’s origin. It is recommended that the near plane is set to 1.0 or above to avoid rendering issues at close range.

  • far (float) – The distance of the far plane from the camera’s origin.

Returns

A projection matrix representing the specified orthogonal perspective.

Return type

pyglet.math.Mat4

arcade.exit#

arcade.exit()[source]#

Exits the application.

arcade.finish_render#

arcade.finish_render()[source]#

Swap buffers and displays what has been drawn.

Warning

If you are extending the Window class, this function should not be called. The event loop will automatically swap the window framebuffer for you after on_draw.

arcade.get_display_size#

arcade.get_display_size(screen_id: int = 0) Tuple[int, int][source]#

Return the width and height of a monitor.

The size of the primary monitor is returned by default.

Parameters

screen_id (int) – The screen number

Returns

Tuple containing the width and height of the screen

Return type

tuple

arcade.get_projection#

arcade.get_projection() pyglet.math.Mat4[source]#

Returns the current projection matrix used by sprites and shapes in arcade.

This is a shortcut for `window.ctx.projection_2d_matrix.

Returns

Projection matrix

Return type

Mat4

arcade.get_scaling_factor#

arcade.get_scaling_factor(window: Window = None) float[source]#

Gets the scaling factor of the given Window. This is the ratio between the window and framebuffer size. If no window is supplied the currently active window will be used.

Parameters

window (Window) – Handle to window we want to get scaling factor of.

Returns

Scaling factor. E.g., 2.0 would indicate the framebuffer width and height being 2.0 times the window width and height. This means one “window pixel” is actual a 2 x 2 square of pixels in the framebuffer.

Return type

float

arcade.get_viewport#

arcade.get_viewport() Tuple[float, float, float, float][source]#

Get the current viewport settings.

Returns

Tuple of floats, with (left, right, bottom, top)

arcade.get_window#

arcade.get_window() Window[source]#

Return a handle to the current window.

Returns

Handle to the current window.

arcade.pause#

arcade.pause(seconds: numbers.Number) None[source]#

Pause for the specified number of seconds. This is a convenience function that just calls time.sleep().

Warning

This is mostly used for unit tests and is not likely to be a good solution for pausing an application or game.

Parameters

seconds (float) – Time interval to pause in seconds.

arcade.run#

arcade.run()[source]#

Run the main loop. After the window has been set up, and the event hooks are in place, this is usually one of the last commands on the main program. This is a blocking function starting pyglet’s event loop meaning it will start to dispatch events such as on_draw and on_update.

arcade.schedule#

arcade.schedule(function_pointer: Callable, interval: numbers.Number)[source]#

Schedule a function to be automatically called every interval seconds. The function/callable needs to take a delta time argument similar to on_update. This is a float representing the number of seconds since it was scheduled or called.

A function can be scheduled multiple times, but this is not recommended.

Warning

Scheduled functions should always be unscheduled using arcade.unschedule(). Having lingering scheduled functions will lead to crashes.

Example:

def some_action(delta_time):
    print(delta_time)

# Call the function every second
arcade.schedule(some_action, 1)
# Unschedule
Parameters
  • function_pointer (Callable) – Pointer to the function to be called.

  • interval (Number) – Interval to call the function (float or integer)

arcade.set_background_color#

arcade.set_background_color(color: Union[Tuple[int, int, int], List[int], Tuple[int, int, int, int]]) None[source]#

Set the color arcade.Window.clear() will use when clearing the window. This only needs to be called when the background color changes.

Note

A shorter and faster way to set background color is using arcade.Window.background_color.

Examples:

# Use Arcade's built in color values
arcade.set_background_color(arcade.color.AMAZON)

# Specify RGB value directly (red)
arcade.set_background_color((255, 0, 0))
Parameters

color (Color) – List of 3 or 4 values in RGB/RGBA format.

arcade.set_viewport#

arcade.set_viewport(left: float, right: float, bottom: float, top: float) None[source]#

This sets what coordinates the window will cover.

Tip

Beginners will want to use Camera. It provides easy to use support for common tasks such as screen shake and movement to a destination.

If you are making a game with complex control over the viewport, this function can help.

By default, the lower left coordinate will be (0, 0), the top y coordinate will be the height of the window in pixels, and the right x coordinate will be the width of the window in pixels.

Warning

Be careful of fractional or non-multiple values!

It is recommended to only set the viewport to integer values that line up with the pixels on the screen. Otherwise, tiled pixel art may not line up well during render, creating rectangle artifacts.

Note

Window.on_resize calls set_viewport by default. If you want to set your own custom viewport during the game, you may need to over-ride the on_resize method.

Note

For more advanced users

This functions sets the orthogonal projection used by shapes and sprites. It also updates the viewport to match the current screen resolution. window.ctx.projection_2d (projection_2d()) and window.ctx.viewport (viewport()) can be used to set viewport and projection separately.

Parameters
  • left (Number) – Left-most (smallest) x value.

  • right (Number) – Right-most (largest) x value.

  • bottom (Number) – Bottom (smallest) y value.

  • top (Number) – Top (largest) y value.

arcade.set_window#

arcade.set_window(window: Window) None[source]#

Set a handle to the current window.

Parameters

window (Window) – Handle to the current window.

arcade.start_render#

arcade.start_render() None[source]#

Clears the window.

More practical alternatives to this function is arcade.Window.clear() or arcade.View.clear().

arcade.unschedule#

arcade.unschedule(function_pointer: Callable)[source]#

Unschedule a function being automatically called.

Example:

def some_action(delta_time):
    print(delta_time)

arcade.schedule(some_action, 1)
arcade.unschedule(some_action)
Parameters

function_pointer (Callable) – Pointer to the function to be unscheduled.

Set if we sync our draws to the monitors vertical sync rate.

show_view(new_view: arcade.application.View)[source]#

  • width (Number) – Width of the window.

  • height (Number) – Height of the window.

  • window_title (str) – Title of the window.

  • resizable (bool) – Whether the window can be user-resizable.
