Pygame Zero
A zero-boilerplate games programming framework for Python 3, based on Pygame.
Some examples
Pygame Zero consists of a runner pgzrun
that will run a Pygame Zero script
with a full game loop and a range of useful builtins.
Here's some of the neat stuff you can do. Note that each of these is a
self-contained script. There's no need for any imports or anything else in the
file.
Draw graphics (assuming there's a file like images/dog.png
or
images/dog.jpg
)::
def draw():
screen.clear()
screen.blit('dog', (10, 50))
Play the sound sounds/eep.wav
when you click the mouse::
def on_mouse_down():
sounds.eep.play()
Draw an "actor" object (with the sprite images/alien.png
) that moves across
the screen::
alien = Actor('alien')
alien.pos = 10, 10
def draw():
screen.clear()
alien.draw()
def update():
alien.x += 1
if alien.left > WIDTH:
alien.right = 0
