Overview

In this tutorial, we build a basic Pygame application that demonstrates how to create and use buttons. The tutorial covers setting up the Pygame window, creating button objects, detecting button presses, and handling button events.

Features

• Pygame Window Setup: Initialize a Pygame window with a specified width and height.
• Buttons: Create and display interactive buttons that respond to user inputs.
• Event Handling: Detect button presses and perform actions based on those events.
• Visual Feedback: Visual representation of buttons and their states.

Code Structure

• main.py: The main script that initializes the Pygame window, handles events, checks for button presses, and renders the game objects.
• button.py: A separate module containing the Button class, which manages the button's image, position, scaling, drawing, and press detection.

How to Run

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/educ8s/pygame-buttons-tutorial.git
   cd pygame-buttons-tutorial

2. Ensure you have Python and Pygame installed. You can install Pygame using pip:

   pip install pygame

3. Place your button images and background image in the Graphics directory.

4. Run the main.py script:

   python main.py

Usage

• Run the script and a window titled "Pygame Buttons Tutorial" will appear.
• The start button and exit button will be displayed.
• Clicking the start button will print "Start Button pressed" to the console.
• Clicking the exit button will close the Pygame window and exit the program.

Dependencies
