Installation4:11
Welcome to this Python Game Development video series. We will be using the famous pygame library of python to create the space invader game. In the process of creating this game we will be learning a lot about python and pygame, like moving characters, shooting bullets and understanding game concepts. Before we get into all the good stuff. We need to make sure that a couple things are installed on your computer. 1) Python 2) Pycharm 3) Pygame
Creating your first game window8:24
In this video we will create our first GUI window with pygame and python. We will also learn about the QUIT pygame event.
Title Logo Color7:51
In this video we will be changing the default values of our game window. Including caption and logo of our game window. We will also learn about the RGB values and how to use them to change background color ( Hint : screen.fill() )

Adding an Image9:22
With this video we will start learning about adding Graphics in our game. We are going to start by learning how to add an image.
Movement and Motion of Graphics8:14
With this video we will learn moving images and graphics around our screen. With our game we are going to learn how to move our spaceship.
Interacting with our game using Keyboard11:36
In this will video we learn to control the game using our Keyboard.
Boundaries and Bounds3:33
In this we will video we add boundaries to our game so that our spaceship doesn't go out of bounds and stays inside our game window.

Shooting Bullets14:09
In this video we learn about the movement mechanics of a bullet and learn about bullet state. Here are some thing to keep in mind - 1) Create a simple one bullet that follows spaceship 2) Make sure it doesn't follow space ship 3) Make sure it's at the center of the spaceship 4) Multiple bullets by adding the boundary condition 5) Remove the moving of bullet when spaceship moves More things explained in this video are - 1) Starting position of the bullet 2) Value of decreases as we the bullet goes up 3) The state of the bullet Next video - Shooting Multiple bullets at Space Invaders

Here are some of the games that you can create with it -

Space Invader - Classic game of shooting the enemies by a Space ship

FPS Games - You can also create first person 2D shooting games

Super Potato Bruh - This game gained a lot of traction on Reddit and went Viral.

Come learn with me and I'll show you how you can bend Python Pygame to your will. This course is great for beginners in Python at any age and any level of computer literacy.

The goal is simple: learn Pygame by working on real project ( Building a Space Invader Game ) step-by-step while we explain every concept along the way. For the duration of this course we will take you on a journey and you're going to learn how to:

Visualize and create the game that you want want from Scratch
Sound Management in Game Development
Adding Image and Graphics in your games
Control the Game using your keyboard
Creating Multiple Objects like enemies and Players
Advance Game Concepts like movement mechanics
Build a complete Space Invader Game

Why choose me as an instructor? Why buy this course among all those other courses?

When i was a kid i saw this YouTube video on how make a folder invisible on Windows I was so fascinated with this idea. Since then my love for technology has only grown.
