Game Programming with Python
summary
Live code builds a 640x480 pygame demo with keyboard movement, sprite blits from Microsoft Paint art, and a 60 FPS clock; collision uses axis-aligned rectangle math and optional per-pixel hitboxes, enemies spawn with random x between 1000 and 5000 and up to hundreds (demo tries 1000) causing visible frame drops until PNGs are converted and images .convert() is used. Code adds simple lives, walls, and sound hookup (audio over HDMI fails live). Joystick init and controls are shown and the playable prototype mostly works.
