Discover Python and Patterns (14): Collisions
In this post, I add enemies and I show you how to test if the tank collides one of them.
Continue readingDiscover Python and Patterns (13): Sprites
In this post, I propose to replace the rectangle in the previous program with a tank sprite, using a tileset.
Continue readingDiscover Python and Patterns (12): Command pattern
The implementation of the Game Loop pattern in the previous post is not good: I propose to use the Command pattern to get a better one. This pattern allows separating input handling and game updating.
Continue readingDiscover Python and Patterns (11): Class
I propose to introduce Python classes to implement the Game Loop pattern. Using these tools, I show how to refactor the code in the previous post to get a more robust and readable program.
Continue readingDiscover Python and Patterns (10): Keyboard
Thanks to the Pygame library we installed in the previous post, we can draw 2D graphics. In this post, I propose to introduce controls with the keyboard as well as some improvements like window centering and frame rate handling.

Although the article uses Unity, it covers some very interesting general concepts.
Discover Python and Patterns (9): Pygame
In the previous posts, I introduced enough of Python and patterns to start creating games with graphics using the Pygame library.

The time has come to see our first design pattern: the Game Loop Pattern! This pattern can give us many good ideas to refactor our game in a very effective way.
