Spoiler Alert !!! This project contains the source code for the game 'Roids from the Udemy online course Exploring Game Mechanics with Python. It's a really amazing first dive into Pygame and this is one of the fun remakes featured. If you're a developer it runs better with the intended 800 x 800
resolution.
I recommend updating both vars
screen_width
andscreen_height
to 800 pixels before playing, even though it is not a requirement. You can obviously also tweak it to your liking.
There could be updates based on the Atari classic coming in the future tense. 🤖
You'll need to have the Python language interpreter ( >3 ) installed in your system to try it out. You also need to have the Pygame package installed ( I'm currently on version > 2.1.3 ).
You can install the latest version of Pygame 🐍 by running "pip install pygame"
at the prompt. If you clone or download this repo you can change to this folder after extracting the files and run "python space_roids.py"
. In the future I am planning to include an .exe
in the folder (Windows) that you may be able to double-click and run
. 🦄
