Getting Started With Game Development Using PyGame
Offered By: Coursera Project Network via Coursera
Course Description
Overview
In this 1-hour long project-based course, you will learn how to create a basic single-player Pong replica using the PyGame library for Python, creating a welcome screen, a game that responds to user input to move the paddle, scoring, and a game over screen with user options. By the end of the course, learners will have a basic understanding of the PyGame library and will be able to create simple games built on shapes. No previous experience with PyGame is required, as this is a basic introduction to the library, but familiarity with Python is recommended.
Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
