Learn about Game Mechanics and Python Programming (with Pygame) Together with these Fun Retro Game Remakes
Demonstrate the programming of game mechanics.
Use Python and Pygame to create a 2D game.
Setup a Python and Pycharm Integrated Development Environment and import packages.
It will be expected that you have a working knowledge of coding (any language)
What makes games fun and why game mechanics What makes learning a new programming language fun and why create games with it This course allows you to do both. If you’ve ever wanted to take your programming skills further and get into Python, then this is your opportunity. If you already know Python but want to know how to use it to create games, then this course is also for you.
Designed for INTERMEDIATE level students with a working knowledge of programming, the content in this course will take you step-by-step through the setup of a Python/Pygame development environment on your own computer and take you through a series of workshops designed to help you learn Python and Pygame while recreating some fun retro computer games including Breakout, Tetris, Asteroids, and Space Invaders.
You will learn about:
The Pycharm Development Environment.
The Pygame API, which is an interface for OpenGL and DirectX.
The use of screen coordinates to place, size, move, animate, and restrict game characters.
