Learning Objectives

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

• Understand the basics of PyGame library
• Use PyGame to create simple games
• Understand the role of PyGame in game development

Materials Needed

• A computer with PyGame installed
• An interactive whiteboard or projector
• Examples of the PyGame code
• A worksheet for homework

Lesson Outline

1. Introduction to PyGame (5 minutes)

• Show examples of games created using PyGame
• Explain the purpose of PyGame in game development
• Explore the PyGame library

2. Creating a Simple PyGame (15 minutes)

• Demonstrate the process of creating a PyGame
• Have students follow along and create their own simple game
• Encourage creativity in their game designs

3. Adding Functionality to PyGame (5 minutes)

• Explain how to add logic and functionality to a PyGame
• Reflect on the importance of programming in game development

4. Homework (5 minutes)

• Assign a worksheet with several programming tasks involving PyGame
• Encourage students to seek help and resources if needed
• Review the answers in the next class

Homework

1. Display a text message centered on the screen in PyGame.

   
   import pygame
   pygame.init()
   (width, height) = (300, 200)
   screen = pygame.display.set_mode((width, height))
   pygame.display.set_caption("Centered Text")

black = (0, 0, 0) white = (255, 255, 255)

running = True while running: for event in pygame.event.get(): if event.type == pygame.QUIT: running = False

screen.fill(white)
font = pygame.font.Font(None, 36)
text = font.render("Centered Text", 1, black)
textpos = text.get_rect(centerx=screen.get_width()/2, centery=screen.get_height()/2)
screen.blit(text, textpos)

pygame.display.flip()

pygame.quit()

2. Create a PyGame that counts from 1 to 10 when a button is clicked.
```python
import pygame
pygame.init()

(width, height) = (300, 200)
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((width, height))
pygame.display.set_caption("Button Click Counter")

black = (0, 0, 0)
white = (255, 255, 255)

running = True
count = 0
font = pygame.font.Font(None, 36)
text = font.render(str(count), 1, black)
textpos = text.get_rect(centerx=screen.get_width()/2, centery=screen.get_height()/2)

while running:
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            running = False
                elif event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
            count += 1
            text = font.render(str(count), 1, black)

    screen.fill(white)
    screen.blit(text, textpos)

    pygame.display.flip()
pygame.quit()

3. Create a PyGame with a moving sprite that is controlled by the arrow keys.

   
   import pygame
   pygame.init()

(width, height) = (600, 400) screen = pygame.display.set_mode((width, height)) pygame.display.set_caption("Sprite Movement")

black = (0, 0, 0) white = (255, 255, 255) sprite_width = 50 sprite_height = 50

sprite = pygame.image.load("sprite.png") sprite = pygame.transform.scale(sprite, (sprite_width, sprite_height)) spritepos = sprite.get_rect(centerx=screen.get_width()/2, centery=screen.get_height()/2) speed = [0, 0]

def moveSprite(): spritepos.move_ip(speed) if spritepos.left < 0 or spritepos.right > width: speed[0] = -speed[0] if spritepos.top < 0 or spritepos.bottom > height: speed[1] = -speed[1]

running = True clock = pygame.time.Clock()

while running: for event in pygame.event.get(): if event.type == pygame.QUIT: running = False elif event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN: if event.key == pygame.K_LEFT: speed[0] = -5 elif event.key == pygame.K_RIGHT: speed[0] = 5 elif event.key == pygame.K_UP: speed[1] = -5 elif event.key == pygame.K_DOWN: speed[1] = 5 elif event.type == pygame.KEYUP: if event.key == pygame.K_LEFT or event.key == pygame.K_RIGHT: speed[0] = 0 elif event.key == pygame.K_UP or event.key == pygame.K_DOWN: speed[1] = 0

moveSprite()

screen.fill(white)
screen.blit(sprite, spritepos)

pygame.display.flip()
clock.tick(60)

pygame.quit()

## Conclusion
By completing this lesson, students should now understand the basics of PyGame and how it can be used in game development. They should also have developed some practical coding skills to create simple PyGame projects. With further practice and exploration, students can continue to develop their programming skills and create more complex games.
