pyGame for Python Games
Contents
start
You already know basic Python coding
goals
You'll be able to write your own games in Python
Background
First you'll need to know basic Python coding.
Aimed at new Python programmers, we're assuming you know a tiny bit about programming and nothing about using Python
How to read and write simply Python programs and running them
Two Games Tutorials
First Florian introduces you to some of the basics of using pyGame.
Second Chuck goes into further detail building up a whole game in pyGame. Note that this series isn't actually hosted inside ShowMeDo, the videos are .swf links in the body text of each page. Sorry for the hassle, .swfs aren't favoured because you can't do much with them.
Chuck Arellano introduces Python's pyGame gaming library by showing you how to write an Arinoid clone from scratch. Full source and sprite maps are provided.
