So showing variable then making him write some code to see it's effects would make it more clear. Then you ask questions and he can use program to answer them which will make memorization even better.

I don't like this technique _on its own_. For a beginner it's pretty useful to get a demonstration of roughly what coding is like (or to refresh that memory) before really diving in. Try explaining variables and for loops to your mom and you'll see they quickly get lost when they don't see the bigger picture. Combining these two techniques from the start (both demonstrating the full process & diving into the details) would be slow, that's more suited for the second or third hour. That's my two cents :)

@QuotePilgrim

Жыл бұрын

The documentation in the pyinstaller main page is your best bet, just read through it. If all you need is quick fix, first make sure you have the line "import pygame" somewhere near the top of your code. If it still doesn't work, try passing "--hidden-module pygame" to pyinstaller (so it would look something like "pyinstaller --hidden-import pygame "). This is sort of a hack and if you're correctly importing pygame you shouldn't need to do this, but it should work.

Hello PolyMars how exactly do you delete clones?

Pygame is nice, but I'll stick with GameMaker because I want to be able to have different files for each event for each object by default and it has a room editor, so I don't have to guess where everything goes. That would be hell if I tried making anything larger than pong, asteroids, snake or maybe tetris. Even pacman would be annoying to make. Unless there's a room/level/scene editor available.

so when it comes down to game development there is: two main functions: *initialization* (Start) and *loop* (kinda like Arduino....) the game pixel count goes from the *top left* to the *bottom right* (y is inverted) Collision Detection is basically a check of *if this touches this, do **____* . { which I realized you can make basic ray-casting by simply making a long and thin collision box at the edge of the enemy sprite } use *arrays* for *enemy positions* and to keep *track* of enemies *death/life* scoring system is a simple collision *counter* Hope you have a great day & Safe Travels!
