Description:
Pygame is a great tool for developers. It isn’t set up to be easily compatible with mobile devices, and due to the nature of Python it isn’t great for commercial products in general; however, its strengths include its ease of use and accessibility. The flow of the Pygame workflow is an amazing way for beginners to learn game programming at a deeper level because it is straightforward while also having a fair amount of depth. And Tetris as you all know is a simple yet very complex game. It is a very good starting point to work with. The following topics will be covered in this workshop:
- Introduction to the concept of game engines and the engines which use Python as their primary scripting Language - 10 min
- Basics of Pygame - 30 min
- A hands-on session on how to make Tetris in Pygame - 1.5 hr
- A Display of Tetris AI made with Pygame -10 min
- Q&A
After the talk, you will be able to make your own games in Pygame!
