What is the easiest way to make pixelated maps with obstacles in pygame?

Question

So I have been trying to create a game with a small map that moves with the player. If the player goes to a wall, the camera also stops. No scrolling. If you want to discover an area, you go to it. And there are many obstacles. the map should be sort of the cafeteria from among us. I tried using tiled, but… It is not beginner friendly. Making a separate file is okay with me. Thanks in advance.

If you are okay with using separate files to use as your map : just write down all the obstacles rectangular shape which is INSIDE that map and use that information to whatever collision detection action You need.

However, if you are a beginner I suggest making games with static Viewport (exploring the map only moves the character), they're a lot easier.

Share your code, so we can help you.

sorry just saw your answer now. I shared the code in question. And how to use static viewport? – Command_Blocks Jan 13 '22 at 11:50
