Week 11: Notes

• 14.9 Writing modules

And in Introducing Python:

• Chapter 11. Modules, Packages, and Goodies

  • Modules and the import Statement

For learning pygame, I recommend the book Making Games with Python & Pygame. You can read it online, or download a PDF copy for free.

Don't forget that we have a pygame quick reference page that is linked from the course home page.

Here are the pygame examples we saw in the lecture:

circle.py

Draws a red circle on a black background.

colors.py

Draws a circle whose color changes randomly each time you click the mouse.

donut.py, donut.png

Draws a donut that makes a quick exit.

donuts.py

Draws a new donut each time you click.
