Time for action – creating a simple game


It's important to notice the so-called main game loop where all the action happens and the usage of the Font module to render text. In this program we will manipulate a Pygame Surface object that is used for drawing, and we will handle a quit event. Perform the following steps to create a simple game:

  1. First import the required Pygame modules. If Pygame is installed properly, we should get no errors, otherwise please return to the installation recipe.

    import pygame, sys
    from pygame.locals import *
  2. We will initialize Pygame, create a display of 400 x 300 pixels, and set the window title to Hello World!.

    pygame.init()
    screen = pygame.display.set_mode((400, 300))
    
    pygame.display.set_caption('Hello World!')
  3. Games usually have a game loop, which runs forever until for instance a quit event occurs. In this example we will only set a label with the text Hello World at coordinates (100, 100). The text has font size of 19 and a red color.
