PYDOJO

A playful way to learn coding with Python, based on Pygame.

GETTING STARTED

Setup

With Thonny

• Install Thonny (https://thonny.org/)
• Thonny it's an IDE with an integrated Python3 distribution, so you don't need to install Python3
• Go to "Tools -> Manage Packages"
• Search and install "Pygame" and "Pydojo"

Without Thonny

• Install Python 3 (https://www.python.org/downloads/)
• Open a terminal emulator (or command prompt)
• Execute the following commands (preceeded by "sudo" if on LINUX or MAC)
  • Install Pygame: "pip install pygame"
  • Install Pydojo: "pip install pydojo"
• Find a suitable IDE. I suggest
  • Visual Studio Code (https://code.visualstudio.com/)

First steps

Now that you have installed the Python interpreter and the necessary libraries, you can start playing with Pydojo. To do it, simply create a .py new empty file (example: myfirstgame.py) and open it with your IDE.
