Lesson 3: Variables and Strings
Lesson 4: Numbers and Math
Week 3: Making Decisions
In both computer programs and the AI world, computer programs need a way to make decisions. Booleans and Conditionals provide a way to make this happen.

Lesson 16: Build and Share Your Game

Topics Covered:

  • Combining previous lessons into a working game
  • Testing and debugging
  • Exporting and sharing your game

Putting It All Together

Use what you’ve learned to build your game step-by-step:

  1. Set up your game window and background
  2. Add the player character and control movement
  3. Add obstacles or enemies and make them move
  4. Detect collisions and implement scoring or lives
  5. Create win/lose conditions and display messages

Testing and Debugging

Play your game and look for bugs or things that don’t work as expected. Use print() statements to help find problems.

Exporting Your Game

You can share your game by:

  • Sharing the Python script file (.py)
  • Using tools like PyInstaller to create an executable
  • Hosting your code on GitHub or a personal website

Sharing via Server Link

If your server supports it, you can run your Python game scripts online or provide downloads for your friends and family.

Next Steps

  • Improve your game by adding sounds, animations, and menus
  • Learn more advanced Python programming concepts
  • Start exploring game engines like Godot or Unity

Congratulations!

You have completed your first Python programming course focused on game development. Keep practicing and creating fun projects!
