Introduction
● Pygame is a framework which allows for easy
manipulation of common game elements like:
● Backgrounds
● Sprites
● Actions and Movements
● Sounds and Music
● Event Handling
Main Services
● Display
● Surface
● Sprite
● Group
● Rect
● Mixer
● Pygame
Display
● Display is what you see and
the actual call to show the
image on the screen
● Init
● Initializes the display variables
● Flip
● Replaces the current screen by
the off screen buffer
Surface
● Surface is one of the
primary services that
you interact with when
using pygame. Surface
is used to represent an
image or combination of
images on the screen.
Sprite
● Sprite is also used often in
game development to
represent the actors
● It is a base class to represent
game objects
● It comes with a great set of
built in methods which take
care of common interactions
with the game environment
Group
● Group is a container
class for sprites.
● It is very helpful for
manipulating large sets
of sprites
● It will define more
specific behaviors for
groups of sprites.
Mixer
● Mixer is the way the
programmer implements
sound effects and music
within the game.
● It has all the methods
used to control the
sounds in the game.
Rect
● Rect is the lower level
representation of objects
like sprites.
● It defines and controls
specific areas on the
screens
Pygame
● Pygame basically is
only used for the Init()
method which
initializes all of the
imported pygame
modules.
● It is also capable of
handling errors.
Main Concepts
● Pygame is the top-level
package which is
broken up by several
submodules which
perform the various
services.
● Rect and Surface are
examples of classes
which create these
submodules.
Main Concepts (Cont)
● There are several
classes like Display and
Image and Font which
create submodules of
the lower-level
submodules like Rect
and Surface
Main Concepts (Cont)
● This is how the Invader
Game demo is
constructed using the
Pygame framework
Demos
● Here are some of the games we created using
PyGame!
