Tutorial 37.19 - Adding Walk and Jump Animation (PyGame Python)

Right then, we start getting into the knitty gritty of the game development, and we start with creating a game template in pygame that can be used for all game development within the python / pygame development system.

And then developed a simple player sprite that moves about the screen.

In this video we start to add the walking and jumping artwork to the game ;)

Bring It ON!!!!

7:00 Georgina's feet are being clipped in some of the frames upon reducing the canvas. Are her feet aligned to be walking on a flat surface? I guess she's running.

11:09 That's fun — index an array by strings and let the language figure it out!

12:29 The frame and walking speeds are enough out sync that it looks like Georgina is skating.

17:30 Seems like a lot of work to manipulate the graphics manually. Can't you just use them as-is and rescale them at load time with some Python functions?
