Pygame examples

A repository for short pygame drafts, examples, tutorials and more!

Currently, this repository contains a draft lighting system, a particle system, a networked game, a hexogonal tile system, a cloth simulation and other cool pygame examples.

Getting started

To get a copy of this repository, simply open up git bash in an empty folder and use the command:

$ git clone https://github.com/rbaltrusch/pygame_examples

Dependencies can be installed using the requirements.txt as below:

pip install -r requirements.txt

To run some of the examples, navigate to the respective folder in the code folder, then run main.py.

Contents

This repository contains the following small pygame examples:

• Particle system: contains a simple, but effective, particle system implementation.
• Evolution simulation: contains a simple simulation of evolving animals hunting for food.
• Cloth simulation: contains a cloth simulation with custom physics.
• Conway's game of life: contains a simulation of Conway's game of life.
• Game console: contains a minimal implementation of an in-game console.
• Animation testing tool: can be used to test out animations. Contains a fully featured in-game console with a decoupled and flexible design.
• Networked game: contains a minimal implementation of a networked game, featuring one external server and two separate clients, communicating with each other through the server.
• Dynamic lighting: contains a small draft implementation for dynamic in-game lighting.
• Hexagonal grid: contains an implementation of a hexagonal grid, including collision handling.
• Tidy event queue: contains an exercise in decoupling complex pygame event handling constructs into separate parts.
• Async events: contains an example implementation for an asynchronous event handler (useful for writing linear-looking code for events with execution spread out over multiple game cycles).
• Squish and stretch: contains an example implementation of squishing and stretching an image.
• Timed events: contains an implementation of callbacks executed after a specified delay. Not pygame-specific.
• Random starry sky: generates a random starry sky.
