games.git

Some games which I'm writing, when I can. See this post for more information.

pong/pong.py

This is almost a non-game. Bounce the ball off the paddle until the game moves too fast, and your score resets. I once managaed 21 points (sheer luck). This demonstrates:

• pygame initialisation
• pygame.font usage.
• pygame.time.clock for 60fps.

Writeup here.

snake/snake.py

This is a reimplementation of Snake. I spent more time on this, and it shows in the final product.

• 5 increasingly difficult levels.
• Sound!

Writeup here.

tetris/tetris.py

A Tetris clone, probably the minimum viable implementation of Tetris features, while still recognisably being the same game.

Thanks

• Jason Kottke for the Silkscreen font, which I used throughout.
• Contralogic for the NES sounds samples
