March 2021: Gamewriting clinic |
2021-03-10 19:00:00 -0400 |
meeting |
Join us at 7 PM EDT on the PyFri Discord channel, discord.gg/9SgTh3T, and click on the General voice chat link. You may need to install the Discord desktop app rather than just using the web interface.
Let's make a game! Let's make it from scratch! And from Scratch!
We'll focus on Scratch, since it's an easy-to-use but powerful language that you can write and run within your web browser without setting up a single thing on your computer. But we'll also do a quick survey of some other interesting options, like
- Game-building libraries: PyGame, PPB, Arcade, Gosu, kiwi.js, ...
- Game engines: Alice, Ren'Py, Urho3D
As usual, bring your grab bag of questions, thoughts, news, and projects in or about any language to throw in the soup. We always have a good discussion.
