Making a Game in Python with No Experience

Today I made my first game in the Python programming language using Pygame, which is a graphics library. Let's see if I can create a holiday inspired game with no experience.

Shout out to my boys @barj & @PolyMars for inspiring/encouraging me to make this video!

I've been wanting to create a game without an engine for some time now. Specifically the Python programming language because it's easy to learn and used by many companies today. I decided to use the Pygame graphics library and see if I could create a game in 48 hours...though it may have taken me a couple days longer... If you're wondering "How to Make a Game in Python?" or better yet "How Easy is Python to Use" then you were on the same page as me. Hence why this video exists.

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 :))

honestly one of the only youtubers that can entertain me these days. keep it up!

[RoboMarchello]

Pygame is really fun to use. I would never be able to tell that you have used python for the first time. Good job!

[sudhansubalasahoo]

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

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

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

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!

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...

[FizzyCo]

This game looks incredible! I love your art style so much!

[dev_ression]

Great video man! Definitely makes me want to get back into PyGame 😍

[zayskyprogramming]

Dude, I love your videos and your mindset and just how entertaining you are. Amazing videos man, keep it up!

You just got a new subscriber.
Great work and well made entertaining video!

I've just started to learn to code and was looking up some videos when I found this masterpiece and it's crazy how you created a whole ass game for a 5-minute video I love content creators like this man you must really love your job this was such a great video

I’m learning Python now, and it’s really cool to slowly be able to read other peoples scripts and understand what they do as you learn each topic.

[anawan]

You seemed to have a really good time on this one, definitely have to try Python for good very soon ! Really nice job

[skibbl_dev]

Cool! you are so close to 100k subscribers!

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!

[aspenonpawss]

You are an absolutely amazing YouTuber and I personally love watching your videos, it’s amazing that you’ve learned how to (partially) use JavaScript on your own! Keep up the amazing work!❤

Excited to see what you made after seeing your short preview on twitter!
