pygame-learn

Basic pygame template to quickly make a game and learn.

Usage

Use example-basic.py and example-advanced.py to mess around and learn what they are doing, and how they are doing it. Use template.py as a starter template to make your own games. Nothing is set in stone, so experiment.

Setting up the local repository

1. Make sure you have Python 3.8, Git, and a proper editor/IDE (I recommend VSCode)
2. Right click in the folder that you want the repo, and click 'git bash here'
3. Run the command git clone https://github.com/mishnea/pygame-test
4. Close Git and navigate to the top level of the repo
5. Hold shift + right click, and click on 'open powershell window here'
   • If the option isn't there, open powershell via Run > pwsh or however you want, and run the command cd <path to the repo>
6. Run the following in order
   • python -m venv .venv
   • .venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
   • pip install -m requirements.txt

You should now have all of the files, and a virtual environment with pygame.
