Pygame Tutorial #1 - Basic Movement and Key Presses

This is a new series on my channel where I am going to be going through the pygame module in python. Pygame is used to make games and is also useful for making software and other types of programs. In this first tutorial I show how to set up the screen and implement basic character movement.

This is the first time where with my beginner level python knowledge helped me understand something like this. Great Video!

[tenmamut]

Very nice of you to include a challenge with a solution hint at the end, very educational, feels like I'm in school again.

Dude, this is awesome, I am so proud of myself making a drawing rectangle

[boopypasta]

Yay! Now I have a moving purple rectangle! (I changed the RGB to (200, 23, 255) to make a light purple color)

[viennesekangaroo]

Seriously the best tutorial I've ever seen. Good job!

[troylangner]

I've searched high and low for exactly this, thank you so much.

[tristandombroski]

Man... Crazy how this video helps. It's simple yet everything I was looking for the past few hours.

[raniabou-ismail]

finally, thank you so much, my pygame wouldn't work and you fixed

[elliottandreasen]

i did this to make sure that the square wasn't able to move out of the screen. if makes sure that fx the specific function K_LEFT doesn't work if you're too far to the left. (in this case, x = 0)
if x > 0:
if keys[pygame.K_LEFT]:
x -= velocity
if x < 460:
if keys[pygame.K_RIGHT]:
x += velocity
if y > 0:
if keys[pygame.K_UP]:
y -= velocity
if y < 440:
if keys[pygame.K_DOWN]:
y += velocity
