Learn Python - PyGame Skeleton

Over the last few posts we've looked at PyGame installation, events, event handling, colour definition, initialisation and drawing.

Now it's time to put all the ingredients together in the form of an complete app skeleton.

Here's the listing:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 35 35 36 37 38 39 40 41

# PyGame Skeleton import pygame, sys, random def check_events(pos):   # loop through all events   for event in pygame.event.get():     if event.type == pygame.QUIT:       sys.quit()     if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:       # draw a coloured disc at the current mouse position       discSize = random.randint(5,50)       r = random.randint(100,255)       g = random.randint(100,255)       b = random.randint(100,255)       discCol = [r,g,b]       pygame.draw.circle(screen, discCol, pos, discSize) def run():   # get mouse position   pos = pygame.mouse.get_pos()   # check events   check_events(pos)   # update the screen with what we've drawn   pygame.display.flip()   # control the draw update speed   clock.tick(50) # initialise pygame pygame.init() screen = pygame.display.set_mode([500,400]) screen.fill(pygame.Color('black')) pygame.display.set_caption("My Game") clock = pygame.time.Clock() # loop until the user clicks the close button while True:   run()

Take this basic structure and add your own enhancements. Maybe additional event handling or drawing different shapes.

I hope you've enjoyed this series. Happy coding.
