A little project maker for the Python World Workshop. Lay out a platformer level on a grid, tick the Pygame features you want, read a broken traceback and choose the fix, then download a real Pygame project you can run on any computer with Python.
main.py for you, using the level you build, so you can run it and see it move. Your work saves automatically.Pick an object below, then click squares on the grid to place it. Put the Player where you start and the Goal at the end. Click a square again, or use the eraser, to remove it.
Each object becomes a pygame.Rect in your code. The mini map below shows a bird's eye view of where they sit on screen.
Each feature folds a chunk of working Python into your game. Tick the ones you want. Keep Move the player on so you can get around, and Coins add score for a goal to chase.
This is a preview. The full main.py is written when you download.
The top of your main.py. Every object becomes a pygame.Rect.
Your project runs if all of these are true. The Studio fills most of them in for you.
main.py is your whole game: set up, a loop, and drawing.
pygame.Rect is a rectangle. Each object you placed is one.
The while loop runs about 60 times a second. That is what makes things move.
Run it: install Python, then in a terminal run pip install pygame and python main.py.
Click the red line, then choose the fix. Plain lines are normal.
This bundles everything into a zip: main.py, a requirements.txt and a README. Install Python, then run the two commands in the README.
