Description

Learn the critical building blocks of the Pygame Library, see how they fit together, then talk about some Python specific design patterns.

Abstract

Pygame: A common learning library and a python SDL wrapper. There's a number of tools for accessing hardware, but the meat of the library is tools for games. Learn the pieces that make a pygame Sprite, how they work together, a short live demo of how a game loop works, and then a discussion of design patterns for games in Python.
