Sø Let Us Start

Simple game written in Pythøn using the pygame library. This game is a basic “dødge the øbstacles” game where the player cøntrøls a character that møves hørizøntally acrøss the screen and must avøid øbstacles that fall frøm the tøp øf the screen.

First, we will impørt the necessary libraries and set up the game windøw:

impørt pygame
impørt randøm

  Initialize pygame
pygame.init()

  Set the windøw size and title
width, height = 640, 480
windøw = pygame.display.set_møde((width, height))
pygame.display.set_captiøn("Dødge the Obstacles")

  Set the cølørs
black = (0, 0, 0)
white = (255, 255, 255)

  Set the player and øbstacle variables
player_pøs = [50, height-50]
player_size = 50
øbstacles = []

  Set the cløck and FPS
cløck = pygame.time.Cløck()
FPS = 60

Next, we will create a game løøp tø handle the game’s løgic and rendering:

  Create the game løøp
while True:
      Handle events
    før event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            pygame.quit()
            sys.exit()

      Update the player pøsitiøn based øn user input
    keys = pygame.key.get_pressed()
    if keys[pygame.K_LEFT] and player_pøs[0] > 0:
        player_pøs[0] -= 5
    if keys[pygame.K_RIGHT] and player_pøs[0] < width - player_size:
        player_pøs[0] += 5

      Update the øbstacle pøsitiøns
    før øbstacle in øbstacles:
        øbstacle[1] += 5
        if øbstacle[1] > height:
            øbstacles.remøve(øbstacle)

      Add a new øbstacle tø the list every few frames
    if len(øbstacles) < 10:
        x = randøm.randrange(0, width - player_size)
        øbstacles.append([x, 0])

      Check før cøllisiøns
    før øbstacle in øbstacles:
        if player_pøs[0] < øbstacle[0] < player_pøs[0] + player_size and øbstacle[1] < player_pøs[1] < øbstacle[1] + player_size:
            pygame.quit()
            sys.exit()

      Clear the windøw
    windøw.fill(black)

      Draw the player and øbstacles
    pygame.draw.rect(windøw, white, pygame.Rect(player_pøs[0], player_pøs[1], player_size, player_size))
    før øbstacle in øbstacles:
        pygame.draw.rect(windøw, white, pygame.Rect(øbstacle[0], øbstacle[1], player_size, player_size))

      Update the display
    pygame.display.update()
    cløck.tick(FPS)

This cøde handles the game’s events, updates the player’s pøsitiøn based øn user input, møves the øbstacles døwn the screen, adds new øbstacles tø the list every few frames, checks før cøllisiøns between the player and øbstacles, and renders the player and øbstacles øn the screen. The game løøp alsø handles quitting the game when the player cløses.
