We'll use some of the basic functionality when we build this game, to see how it works. It has functionality to draw shapes and images to the screen, get user input, play sounds and more. Getting Started with PygameĪ commonly used game framework in Python is pygame. Now, give this repl a name, like "snake-pygame".Īfter the repl has booted up, you should see a main.py file. Head over to Replit and create a new repl. That's a lot to think about! Let's get started and create a project in Replit. A way to determine if the snake has eaten, or touched, the food.A way to randomly place the food on the screen.A way to determine if the snake has crossed over itself (or bitten itself, as another analogy).A way to determine if the snake has gone out of bounds of the screen.A way to get steering directions from the player to the snake.A way to draw the blocks and move them on the screen.The food then re-appears at another random place on the screen.Ī few components we will need to build are: If the snake eats some food (a different type of block), it grows by 1 block. If the snake crosses itself, it also dies. It also has simple rules – when the snake touches the sides of the screen, it dies.

ON SCREEN SNAKE SERIES
Snake in its basic form is a series of blocks representing a snake moving around a grid, with the player controlling the direction. Let's think a bit about what we need to do. We'll use the Replit web IDE for creating our version of Snake. In this tutorial, we'll implement the most basic form of Snake in pygame It's also a great game to learn the basics of game making from. In the most basic form, it's a super simple game, but still strangely entertaining. For many people, it was the only game on their phone at that time. Snake was an incredibly popular game, mostly remembered from the 1990s era cell phones. GraphQL part 2: creating a web applicationĬreating interactive Python plots with matplotlib
