Making a Game in Python with No Experience

[@JustTaaco]

I love the mindset of, "if I can make this blue square appear, I can do anything", it's such a great mindset to have especially when programing :))

[@Goodgis]

Absolutely!! haha

[@s1ndd3r87]

We all started with a simple “Hello World!” :)

My highscore is 13. I know it's not a lot but there were many unavoidable situations I really liked how polished this game is inspite of being made in 3 days Good job

[@Goodgis]

Woah nice! Yeah, there are some pretty cheap hand placements.

[@TheShelfman]

I remember seeing this appear on twitter a few times! It's so nice, and looks very inviting. Well done!

[@Goodgis]

Thanks, dude! :D

[@SomeHumbleOnion]

I love seeing people experiment with other languages and frameworks for game dev! This game looks hella polished too, about to play it on itch! I remember making a game in a Javascript Framework called Phaser 3 and something about working outside of an engine just made the whole process a lot more fun? This reminded me a lot of that :3

[@Goodgis]

It was a ton of fun to work on!

[@dominicballinger6536]

Python is a pretty good choice for beginners ngl. It's straightforward most of the time, and it only gets as complicated as you make it. Though some things just go over my head, like converting .csv files into tile maps. That's a pain...

[@bluesillybeard]

Yeah, python is absolutely amazing when you're first learning. But when it comes to more complex applications that aren't just a one-off deal, it gets very complex and headache-inducing very fast.

[@RedHair651]

Have you tried using Pandas? It can read CSVs directly

[@VengefulSpectre]

I’m glad to finally see a new video! I know you’ve probably been super busy with having Babygis and who knows what else but I’m glad to see you making a game again!

[@Goodgis]

You should!

[@maxrdev703]

I love the way you used your firth vector art style for the game! Never really thought about making a game engineless. Maybe I'll have to give it a try one day. Great video once again!

[@Goodgis]

You totally should, this was a ton of fun. And thanks so much! :D

[@csd4ni3l]

yeyyy finally you used python for game development! :) i create games with python as a hobby and its great that you tried it out! i dont use pygame anymore, i use another module called pyglet(a high-level OpenGL wrapper) for gameplay and arcade(pyglet wrapper, because pyglet is only for rendering, and not for anything else like collision detection, etc. and it even has builtin Tiled(a map maker program} loader and builtin pathfinding!) for gui. Also great video! (Your voice is calming btw 😂)

[@Phenom0100]

I have a bachelor's and master's in computer science and the main focus throughout college was programming in c and c++. When I first started programming in python I started making functions for tools that already existed like a make a function to detect a substring or something of that nature. It took a while for me just to use what is there instead of making it myself.

[@Waspeil]

This is wonderfully entertaining keep making these great videos

I got 17 after a few tries. It's rly good for what you made in 3 days and no experience. I tryed to do a game with python but never really had the time for it. Now that I've seen this I might just try to finish it for once.

[@Oddies.Odditi3s]

"No experience" 💀

[@_CX2_]

In school I probably had 2 lessons on python basics and python isn't really that hard but I get this comment because there is no way he did this with no experience.

[@asadzzaman5108]

​@@_CX2_ prob didn't used pygame I think

[@GrowMode_YT]

​@_CX2_ When I first started using Python (this was my first time programming in general, and I was 11 years old at the time). I learned the basics of Python (if statements, while loops, variables, etc.). Then I left it and didn't touch it. After 6 months, I decided why not come back to Python. I used Google Gemini to help in things I didn't understand while making a tic tac toe game in the terminal. With that knowledge, I downloaded pygame, and I made a platformer and top down shooter in a few days. So it is possible, you just need motivation.

[@familiagavassafavoretti4805]

Dude, that video is truly awesome. Nice work

[@aogasd]

Despite watching a lot of game dev videos I'm suddenly realizing that maybe games aren't usually coded from scratch and I should figure out a game engine so that maybe I can actually get some projects done instead of getting stuck at reinventing physics and trying to draw icons for 4 hours straight

[@limeedhot]

yeah 99% of games are made in a game engine

[@limeedhot]

and thats not much of an exaggeration the only games that arent made in a game engine are like nintendo games. nintendo makes their own custom engines just for one single game if they care enough on that one game. so like super mario odyssey uses a custom engine. not sure about others like ps and xbox because i know nothing about those but yeah

[@MrCmon113]

Bingo.

[@ScopeCrepe]

They used to be, but you should learn how to finish game in an engine. Then try to finish a game without one

[@realgalactic]

I have no experience with python so I signed up for a 3 month python gamedev course and it's starting next week! Great vid as always by the way!
