Mathematics and Computer Science Division-Student Lecture Series
"Open Source Game Programming with Pygame"

DATE: July 2, 2010 to July 2, 2010
TIME: 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM
SPEAKER: Rick Bradshaw
LOCATION: TCS Building 240 Conference Room 1407, Argonne National Laboratory

Description:
There are many different open source game programming libraries available, but few are truly multiple platform capable. I will focus my discussion on Pygame, which is a python library built on top of SDL to aid in the abstraction from OS and hardware. In this talk I will talk about some topics and fundamentals of 2d game programming and then walk through some demo code to illustrate the topics discussed. The end result is a working 2d scrolling shooter game.
