What this session covers

Ready to see how easy and fun it is to build a game in Python? Join me for a live coding session where we’ll walk through creating a simple shooter game using PyGame, a popular Python library for 2D game development. Whether you’re new to Python or an experienced developer looking to explore game development, this session is perfect for anyone curious about building 2D games from scratch with Python.

In the live demon, we’ll cover the basics of setting up a game loop, adding player movement, implementing shooting mechanics, and introducing enemies. All while explaining the core principles of PyGame. Watch as we transform Python code into a fully functional game.

By the end of the session, you’ll have a solid understanding of how to start your own PyGame projects, whether you’re looking to build games as a hobby or get a taste for game development. This is a perfect session for coders from other languages, new Python learners, or anyone interested in the world of PyGame.
