I just bought the book Code the Classics volume 2. It’s a book with chapters on the history of different classic arcade games, each with the full source code for a version of the game implemented in Pygame Zero for Python with nice graphics. It also has chapters on coding Python and PyGame Zero. I’ve already read two history chapters and it’s just as good as the first one. The book is pretty cheap, considering it’s a full color hardback.

I implemented the Frogger clone Infinite Bunner from Code the Classics volume 1 in Rust and Macroquad. I can highly recommend the books, and doing an implementation of your own. I’ll probably not do a port of my own this time, but I’ll certainly take some inspiration from the games.

The games included are Breakout, Double Dragon, Defender, Dizzy, and Pole Position.

@Workshopshed there's a really nice work book designed to assist students from #scratch to #pygame zero. I use snippets of it in class for my younger computing students making the transition. #pygamezero removes the need to build and control the main loop and simplifies some of the object stuff from pygame but once a novice has mucked around with pygame zero the transition to pygame is much easier.

I am tinkering in #PyGameZero on my #RaspberryPi to make a low spec, low cost, low energy consumption, Space Invaders homage for an art collab. It will likely graduate to plain #PyGame with #Python3 and customizable art. I hope to include support for commodity Atari-like gamepads.

Just catching up on the #replit #TutorialJam and holy fricken heck knuckles I came second!!!
I won actual cash! I'm so chuffed ☺️ #FlappyBrickForever #pygamezero @pygame
