When you get down to it, programming video games is just about lighting up pixels to make pretty pictures appear on the screen in response to keyboard and mouse input. And there are very few things that are as fun. This book will teach you how to make graphical computer games in the Python programming language using the Pygame library. This book as...
Hello! This book will teach you how to make graphical computer games with the Pygame framework (also called the Pygame library) in the Python programming language. Pygame makes it easy to create programs with 2D graphics. Both Python and the Pygame framework can be downloaded for free from http://python.org and http://pygame.org. All you need is a ...
It might help if you know a bit about Python programming (or how to program in another language besides Python) before you read through this book; however even if you haven’t you can still read this book anyway. Programming isn’t nearly as hard as people think it is. If you ever run into some trouble, you can read the free book ―Invent Your Own Com...
Before we can begin programming you'll need to install software called the Python interpreter on your computer. (You may need to ask an adult for help here.) The interpreter is a program that understands the instructions that you’ll write (or rather, type out) in the Python language. Without the interpreter, your computer won't be able to run your ...
―Making Games with Python & Pygame‖ is different from other programming books because it focuses on the complete source code for several game programs. Instead of teaching you programming concepts and leaving it up to you to figure out how to make programs with those concepts, this book shows you some programs and then explains how they are put tog...
Each chapter focuses on a single game program and explain how different parts of the code work. It is very helpful to copy these programs by typing in the code line by line from this book. However, you can also download the source code file from this book's website. In a web browser, go to the URL http://invpy.com/source and follow the instructions...
While you can just type in the code you read out of this book, you will need to download the graphics and sound files used by the games in this book from http://invpy.com/downloads. Make sure that these image and sound files are located in the same folder as the .py Python file otherwise your Python program will not be able to find these files.
Some lines of code are too long to fit on one line on the pages in this book, and the text of the code will wrap around to the next line. When you type these lines into the file editor, enter the code all on one line without pressing Enter. You can tell when a new line starts by looking at the line numbers on the left side of the code. For example,...
Some of the programs in this book are a little long. Although it is very helpful to learn Python by typing out the source code for these programs, you may accidentally make typos that cause your programs to crash. It may not be obvious where the typo is. You can copy and paste the text of your source code to the online diff tool on the book’s websi...
There is a lot that you can learn about programming. But you don’t need to learn all of it now. There are several times in this book where you might like to learn these additional details and explanations, but if I included them in this book then it would add many more pages. If this larger, heavier book accidentally fell on you the weight of these...
Just like how Python comes with several modules like random, math, or time that provide additional functions for your programs, the Pygame framework includes several modules with functions for drawing graphics, playing sounds, handling mouse input, and other things. This chapter will cover the basic modules and functions that Pygame provides and as...
The Python programs that you can write with Python’s built-in functions only deal with text through the print() and input() functions. Your program can display text on the screen and let the user type in text from the keyboard. This type of program has a command line interface, or CLI (which is pronounced like the first part of ―climb‖ and rhymes w...
The first few lines of code in the Hello World program are lines that will begin almost every program you write that uses Pygame. 1. import pygame, sys Line 1 is a simple import statement that imports the pygame and sys modules so that our program can use the functions in them. All of the Pygame functions dealing with graphics, sound, and other fea...
7. while True: # main game loop 8. for event in pygame.event.get(): Line 7 is a while loop that has a condition of simply the value True. This means that it never exits due to its condition evaluating to False. The only way the program execution will ever exit the loop is if a break statement is executed (which moves execution to the first line...
Any time the user does one of several actions (they are listed later in this chapter) such as pressing a keyboard key or moving the mouse on the program’s window, a pygame.event.Event object is created by the Pygame library to record this ―event‖. (This is a type of object called Event that exists in the event module, which itself is in the pygame ...
Surface objects are objects that represent a rectangular 2D image. The pixels of the Surface object can be changed by calling the Pygame drawing functions (described later in this chapter) and then displayed on the screen. The window border, title bar, and buttons are not part of the display Surface object. In particular, the Surface object returne...
Unfortunately, there isn’t a single function you can call that will set a single pixel to a color (unless you call pygame.draw.line() with the same start and end point). The Pygame framework needs to run some code behind the scenes before and after drawing to a Surface object. If it had to do this for every single pixel you wanted to set, your prog...
After you are done calling the drawing functions to make the display Surface object look the way you want, you must call pygame.display.update() to make the display Surface actually appear on the user’s monitor. The one thing that you must remember is that pygame.display.update() will only make the display Surface (that is, the Surface object that ...
The drawing functions are fine if you want to draw simple shapes on the screen, but many games have images (also called sprites). Pygame is able to load images onto Surface objects from PNG, JPG, GIF, and BMP image files. The differences between these image file formats is described at http://invpy.com/formats. The image of the cat was stored in a ...
Anti-aliasing is a graphics technique for making text and shapes look less blocky by adding a little bit of blur to their edges. It takes a little more computation time to draw with anti-aliasing, so although the graphics may look better, your program may run slower (but only just a little). If you zoom in on an aliased line and an anti-aliased lin...
Playing sounds that are stored in sound files is even simpler than displaying images from image files. First, you must create a pygame.mixer.Sound object (which we will call Sound objects for short) by calling the pygame.mixer.Sound() constructor function. It takes one string parameter, which is the filename of the sound file. Pygame can load WAV, ...
This covers the basics of making graphical games with the Pygame framework. Of course, just reading about these functions probably isn’t enough to help you learn how to make games using these functions. The rest of the chapters in this book each focus on the source code for a small, complete game. This will give you an idea of what complete game pr...
In the Memory Puzzle game, several icons are covered up by white boxes. There are two of each icon. The player can click on two boxes to see what icon is behind them. If the icons match, then those boxes remain uncovered. The player wins when all the boxes on the board are uncovered. To give the player a hint, the boxes are quickly uncovered once a...
A lot of the suggestions in this chapter haven’t been about how to write programs that computers can run so much as how to write programs that programmers can read. You might not understand why this is important. After all, as long as the code works, who cares if it is hard or easy for human programmers to read? However, the important thing to real...
This chapter covers the entire explanation of how the Memory Puzzle program works. Read over the chapter and the source code again to understand it better. Many of the other game programs in this book make use of the same programming concepts (like nested for loops, syntactic sugar, and different coordinate systems in the same program) so they won’...
