Today I made my first game in the Python programming language using Pygame, which is a graphics library. Let's see if I can create a holiday inspired game with no experience.

I've been wanting to create a game without an engine for some time now. Specifically the Python programming language because it's easy to learn and used by many companies today. I decided to use the Pygame graphics library and see if I could create a game in 48 hours...though it may have taken me a couple days longer... If you're wondering "How to Make a Game in Python?" or better yet "How Easy is Python to Use" then you were on the same page as me. Hence why this video exists.

Python is a pretty good choice for beginners ngl. It's straightforward most of the time, and it only gets as complicated as you make it. Though some things just go over my head, like converting .csv files into tile maps. That's a pain...

Yeah, python is absolutely amazing when you're first learning. But when it comes to more complex applications that aren't just a one-off deal, it gets very complex and headache-inducing very fast.

Nice! I'm probably going to test out pygame as soon as I figure out what the hell a class is xD. I've made a kind of drawing program in turtle and instead of starting a new project like I probably should, I've been improving and optimizing that :p And about that sinewave stuff, why didn't you just use the built in math library instead of that mathemagitian thingie you showed on screen?

@Aeduo Год назад

How classes work can differ a lot depending on the language but generally, it identifies a certain organization of data and code to operate on that data that you can call on by name to create objects which are instances of that data. then you can have subclasses which can add more data and code on to that existing class to provide more specific behavior to that original class's data and code. A lot of times though it's also used as a namespace to have some related code together or a handle to some other resource or data. It's a pretty broad thing. Classes in python are quite flexible. One could say almost too flexible in that any object can gain or lose methods or attributes at runtime, or fulfill the purpose of a class without inheriting from that class. I think they call that "duck typing".

@xseis. Год назад

@@Aeduo Don't listen to this guy. just search it up on youtube. its really not that complicated :D.

@MrCmon113 Год назад

Originally classes were supposed to be templates for groupings of datastructures and interfaces that define how the program is allowed to interact with the datastructures. But depending on the programming language classes can be different things, basically just containers of code.

@MrCmon113 Год назад

@@xseis. It's way more complicated.

I have a bachelor's and master's in computer science and the main focus throughout college was programming in c and c++. When I first started programming in python I started making functions for tools that already existed like a make a function to detect a substring or something of that nature. It took a while for me just to use what is there instead of making it myself.

@limeedhot Год назад

yeah 99% of games are made in a game engine

@limeedhot Год назад

and thats not much of an exaggeration the only games that arent made in a game engine are like nintendo games. nintendo makes their own custom engines just for one single game if they care enough on that one game. so like super mario odyssey uses a custom engine. not sure about others like ps and xbox because i know nothing about those but yeah

@sammy_sand_utubeyt6901 Год назад

Get a nice pallete, consistent ish art style (16 bit, 32 bit pixel art, or more realistic art, etc), solidify your main game loop and have an "end" goal for that game loop. Afterwards you can add more on, but you've got to make sure the main loop is something that's at least a little fun. Another good tip is "easy to learn, hard to master. "
