• Collision Detection
• Basic Pong - due today
  1. Left paddle moves up and down
  2. Right paddle moves up and down
  3. Ball bounces around
     • Bounces off of top and bottom walls
     • Bounces off of paddles
     • If the ball touches the left or right walls, reset the ball
     • Reset the ball by updating it's center to go to (width/2, height/2)

Tuesday - Thursday (11/27/12 - 11/29/12)

Agenda:

import sys, pygame
pygame.init()

width = 600
height = 400
dx = 1
dy = 1
black = 0, 0, 0

screen = pygame.display.set_mode((width, height))
 
ball = pygame.image.load("ball.gif")
ballrect = ball.get_rect()

while True:
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            sys.exit()

    ballrect = ballrect.move((dx,dy))
    
    if ballrect.left < 0 or ballrect.right > width:
        dx *= -1
    if ballrect.top < 0 or ballrect.bottom > height:
        dy *= -1

    screen.fill(black)
    screen.blit(ball, ballrect)
    pygame.display.flip()

• Pygame walk-through and notes
• Comment each line of code from the Pygame Tutorial
  • You comment should be a note of what that line is doing
• Pygame Documentation
• Keyboard events in Pygame
• Basic Game Play ("dodge the ball" w/ 2 players)

  4. Add a third ball that bounces around the screen
  5. Check if either player rectangle collides with the ball rectangle...then...
