Having come from a C/C++/assembly background, I just recently discovered the allure of Python and Pygame. Needless to say I am having an incredible time learning all these new things. Every second I learn something new; I’ve read more tutorials and examples than I could count.

But, your video achieves something different. With your calm and slow voice that speaks clearly and concisely you have no doubt accelerated the learning for many people. Using audio, visual, and interactive teaching methods this video is an excellent addition to the Pygame tutorial community and should be watched as soon as possible when one wants to learn Python and Pygame.

Nice tutorial! Really really liked it. I have just started out with Pygame and your tutorials look like a step in the right direction.
Just one thing though. When I execute the script from Python GUI (IDLE), it doesn’t exit smoothly (It has to be “end-task”ed). But when I double click it from explorer, it behaves properly. Any idea why??

Thanks for the great tutorial!

Very good tutorial, it looks great… really nice indeed! My only suggestion is about the audio… since I’m not a native English speaker I find a bit difficult understanding what you say. It would be great if you speak a bit clearer and try to avoid microphone noises in your next video tutorials. It’s not that I’m so bad understanding English , after all I can watch movies with no problems.
Please take it as a positive critic, I really liked the tutorial but I’ll need to watch it several times because I really want to understand it!

this tut is really helpful so far but im stuck on the second vid. i didnt have the arinoid_master.bmp file. At first it said “Could not open data/arinoid_master.bmp” so i downloaded from the link you suggested. now that i have the file it still says the same thing. do i haev to move the file somewhere because i noticed during the video you said that the file should be in the data subdirectory, so you linked it to “os.path” so should i move it there? and how and where exactly do imove it to?

thank you for the video and pleace e- mail me at : n0t0ri0us_MILAD@yahoo.com to help me with my problem

Very nice introduction. I made an attempt to try pygame some time ago, but it was hard to find a solid base skeleton for applications. This tutorial seems to teach good practices about using pygame, and for that I would like to thank the author.

Hi Sereg. I'm glad to know you found the videos useful. My latest post deals with a Space Invaders clone, which might help you as well in building your Galaxian clone. Good luck!

I’m novice in pygame and python at all. That I need to speedup my galaxian clone =)
