Running your game

To run your game you need to insert the code in its corresponding space as shown below:

# do you usefull stuff here

while True:
    _KEY = None
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT or pygame.key.get_pressed()[pygame.K_ESCAPE]:
            pygame.quit()
            exit()
        elif event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
            _KEY = pygame.key.name(event.key)
    
    _TIC["CLOCK"].tick(60)
    
    # do you TIC() stuff here
    
    pygame.display.flip()

Pygame comes with a predefined name for save data, but you can change it to any name you wish.

Limitations

• Pygame-80 does not come integrated with editors, so external programs must be used. Some of the recommended free and crossplatform programs for the development of the assets are the following:
  Code: Thonny (Windows, Mac and Linux)
  Tilesets / Spritesheets: GIMP (Windows, Mac and Linux)
  Audio (sfx / music): OpenMPT (Windows. Mac and Linux (using Wine>=1.8)), Audacity (Windows, Mac and Linux)
  Tilemaps: Tiled (Windows, Mac and Linux)
