If you ever wanted to make Space Invaders in Python, but were too lazy to do it, here’s a short tutorial with GIFS!
>>basic settings
First I create the Game class that will control the game. Then I initialize pygame instance and the alien list. I set the refresh rate to 60 and run the game loop.
>>enemies
I create a new Alien class, that holds coordinates, color, and size and will draw the object to the screen. I set the “falling down” effect with the decreasing y value by 5% of a pixel per frame.
(the un-indented blocks of code are not going to work as you see them— alien = … and alien.draw need a “game” instance reference instead of self. Same goes for Hero and Generator below. For complete code see the end for a github link)
