Code the Classics Volume II is your hands-on guide to recreating some of the most iconic video games of the 1980s and learning the art of game development. Written by Andrew Gillett, with expert contributions from Raspberry Pi co-founder and CEO Eben Upton and game developer Sean M. Tracey, this book not only explores the stories behind these classic games but also shows you how to build your own games inspired by them.
In this edition, you’ll dive into the process of running and editing the games featured in the book, starting by installing Python, Pygame Zero, and an IDE. You’ll learn:
  • Game design tips and techniques from industry veterans.
  • The essential tasks needed to create any game, such as displaying images, playing sound effects, and handling inputs from a keyboard or game controller.
  • How to code your own games using Pygame Zero, a powerful library that simplifies these tasks.
  • Detailed explanations of code examples, so you can see how they work and modify them for your own projects.
Explore these vintage-inspired games and learn how the code behind them brings the action to life:
  • Avenger: Pilot your craft across a scrolling landscape, rescuing humans from alien invaders.
  • Beat Streets: Fight your way through levels to take down a notorious crime boss.
  • Eggzy: Collect gems and survive against the clock in this fast-paced challenge.
  • Leading Edge: Race your car through a pseudo-3D track, avoiding obstacles and racing against time.
  • Kinetix: Break bricks with your paddle while dodging enemies and using power-ups to stay alive.
