An 8-hour quest to learn PyGame and Python by making Helicopter. I learned a lot making this game- how Python objects work, what a magic method is, how Pygame handles events. And revisiting the project later with an eye for style, I got much better at using best practices in Python (as opposed to all globals...I'm ashamed of that now...). I may eventually come back and add sprite animation and a smoke trail for the helicopter.
If you have Pygame installed, you can play with
python main.pyIf you don't, then use
pip install pygameand see step 1.
