Python Game Development is the first in a series of Python courses that use text based coding. In this course students build a video games using Python. The first lesson introduces students to Repl.it, a integrated development environment for Python. Subsequent lessons introduce a core Python programming concept using worksheets and simple exercises.

&nbsp;

Concepts introduced include basic game design, sprites, lists, custom events, functions, operators, variables, objects, loops, conditional statements, functions and sprite groups. Students then apply these Python concepts to develop a fully featured video game in the final lessons. This is real coding from the ground up.

In this course students build a video games using Python. You want to play a game? Then build it. Each lesson a core Python concept is introduced and learning reinforced through exercises and quizzes and supported by an instructor. In the final lessons of the course, you apply these Python concepts to develop your fully featured video game. No templates. No Blocks. This is real coding from the ground up. There are 16 lessons in the course.

Introduction

Let's start by writing our very first program. It's a very short program that displays “hello world” on the console window. “Hello World” is a tradition of sorts among all programmers, it's always the first program that anyone runs.

Variables in PY_Games

Variables are location inside the computer's memory that is dedicated to storing specific data values. They are an important tool in keeping track of data like names, numbers, Lists, and whether something is true or false.

Operators in PY_Games

In this lesson, we're going to introduce more operators. These are 1. Modulus, 2. Exponentiation, 3. Assignment operators. And 4. Comparison operators. Let’s learn more

Lists in PY_Games

A LIST is used to store data. When you want to store a lot of data or order the data, you're going to need to use a List. A List can hold many Items together and keep them in order. Let’s learn more.

If Else Statements in PY_Games

So this unit, we're going to focus on IF Else statements. Services like Netflix will check your age to verify that you're old enough to watch certain movies. But how do they do that? Well, they use an IF Else statement

Loops in PY_Games

A WHILE LOOP executes a set of conditions as long as the condition is true. So a While Loop can execute code forever unless the condition is set to false.

Functions in PY_Games

A Function is a set of code that is grouped together in terms of functionality has a name, and using this name, uses its functionality wherever you need it. Function in Python that saves us from writing commonly used functionality.

Objectsin PY_Games

Objects & Methods are two fundamental concepts in Python. OBJECTS are a collection of data or variables and METHODS are sub programs that update Objects.

PyGames Libraryin PY_Games

Now let's move forward and import the code from the PY Game library. IMPORT is used to get code from another file. That file is called a LIBRARY. The library we're going to be using today is the PY Game library

Game Design in PY_Games

The game we're going to make is a basic game, where the goal is to dodge incoming obstacles. In this lesson, we'll be setting up our game so we can start adding sprites in later lessons.
