Today we are taking a break from Pygame Snake. I appreciate the work and focus that you have applied to these tutorials.

There are a series of Khan Academy setup and waiting for you. We will return to finish Snake next week.

Today’s goal: complete Part 3: Pygame Snake.

1. before you move on to Part 3, please turn in Part 2  on Canvas.
2. then copy/paste your Part 2 code into a new replit. This gives me a version of Part 2 Snake to assess.
3. after you create a new replit for Part 3, click here for the chapters to follow for Part 3: Snake.

Today you will wrap up Pygame Pong and turn it in on Canvas. The last part can be found here.

Then we move up the evolutionary tree of video games and begin creating Snake (which dates back to 1976!). Click here to get started on Snake.

In our last class, we started Pygame Pong Part 1. If you haven’t started programming this game, that’s where you start.

Today, we continue with…PyGame Pong Part 2.

1-11 & 11-12-22

I like the symmetry of 1-11-22.

Today we continue our work in Pygame by building a classic version of Pong. Click here for Part 1.

You will need headphones for this tutorial so that you can follow along at your own pace.

And so we begin with PyGame.

Today I would like you to complete this introduction to PyGame using Replit.

Click here for the tutorial but keep reading – I’ve added two more steps after you have completed the program in the tutorial.

1. AFTER you have finished the program as outlined in the tutorial I would like you to replace the tennis ball image with the image of your choice. In my case, I replaced the tennis ball with an image of Jack Black.
2. Add a comment to the first line of your program with your first and last name. Use a hashtag to make a comment like #Rod Milstead

Go to canvas and turn in your completed program in the PyGame Intro assignment.
