About the Project

Since Pygame is not a game engine but rather a Python library that helps build games, I had to program almost everything from scratch. I learned a lot about core game development concepts such as collision detection, game loops, event handling, and more.

Maps

One of the biggest challenges was creating the maps for the game. I used Tiled to draw each map, then manually registered every platform that the player could stand on or couldn’t walk through in a regular Python list. The game loop reads this list 60 times per second to check if the player is colliding with anything.
