In the class, we will be making pong in python using the pygame library. This is an excellent introduction to programming in python. Whether you already have some basic programming knowledge or you have never written a line of code, this is the perfect project for you to get your feet in the water and start building your own programs.

Anyone can get started with this class, and ZERO programming knowledge is required.

You will learn:

How to add a background to your window
How to add objects to the screen and set their size position and colors
How to move these objects around
How to get user input through the keyboard
How to display text on the screen
How to check for collision between objects
Other python basics such as loops, conditional statements, etc.

If you do not already have Python and/or Pygame installed, there is a text file under the "resources" tab with instructions on how to install Python and/or Pygame.

I apologize for the slight cracking in the audio in the first lesson. The other lessons do not have this issue. I will be remaking the first lesson soon to fix the audio.
