6 PM – Python Game Development

Today

• We went over the homework to make the player and coins flip images, and fixed/flipped the upwards tube.
• We added gravity and let the player fly.
• We added collision detection between the player and the tubes.

Homework

• Add collision detection between the player and the coins.  The coins should disappear.
• Give the player more score when it gets more coins.
• Add a score indicator as the player collects more coins.
• Create a couple game constants “GAME_STARTED” and “GAME_LANDING_PAGE”. Start the game in GAME_LANDING_PAGE mode.
•  Add landing page with a Play button.  When the play button is pressed the game mode should be switched to “GAME_STARTED”, and you should show the handle_game_in_session page.  Look at Birdie for examples how to do this.
