\"\"In this Mission Control, we learn how to build a game from the ground up in Python (which you already know!), with a focus on setting up the basic infrastructure of a game. \u00a0This workshop will be interactive, so please bring your laptops, and try to get PyGame installed and working in your laptops before the session\u00a0(Setting up PyGame can be a bit of a pain, but it is a one-time thing).<\/p>\n

Presenter:\u00a0Oh Shunhao (NUS Games Development Group<\/a>)<\/strong>
\nVenue: SoC SR3<\/strong>
\nTime: 18:00-20:00
\nDate: 22 Jul 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

PyGame Setup instructions<\/span><\/p>\n

Windows:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Python 2.7 \u2013 download binary here [http:\/\/www.pygame.org\/download.shtml<\/span><\/a>]<\/span><\/p>\n

Python 3.4 \u2013 download binary here [http:\/\/www.lfd.uci.edu\/~gohlke\/pythonlibs\/#pygame<\/span><\/a>]<\/span><\/p>\n

Mac:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Follow instructions here [http:\/\/pygame.org\/wiki\/macintosh<\/span><\/a>]<\/span><\/p>\n

(From what I hear, it seems to be easier to setup for python 2.7. Also recommend installing brew first)<\/span><\/p>\n

Unix:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Haven\u2019t really tried. Try looking here [http:\/\/www.pygame.org\/download.shtml<\/span><\/a>]<\/span><\/p>\n

To verify that PyGame is working correctly, run this script in python:<\/span><\/p>\n

[https:\/\/github.com\/Ohohcakester\/PyGameWorkshop\/blob\/master\/testScript\/test.py<\/span><\/a>]<\/span><\/p>\n

Same as below:<\/p>\n

# If the test works, you should see a blue circle moving around the screen.\n<\/span>import pygame\n<\/span>pygame.init()\n<\/span>screen = pygame.display.set_mode((480,360))\n<\/span>x = 0\n<\/span>y = 0\n<\/span>while True:\n<\/span> \u00a0 \u00a0x = (x + 10) % 480\n<\/span> \u00a0 \u00a0y = (y + 10) % 360<\/span> \u00a0 \u00a0\n<\/span>    pygame.event.get()\n<\/span>    screen.fill((0,0,0))\n<\/span> \u00a0 \u00a0pygame.draw.circle(screen, (0, 127, 255), (x, y), 25)\n<\/span> \u00a0 \u00a0pygame.display.flip()\n<\/span> \u00a0 \u00a0pygame.time.delay(20)<\/span><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
