Python Game Development

Summer Crash Course


For SSC & Intermediate Students
(Zero Theory, 100% Practical Game Coding - Day by Day Guide)

Week 1: Arcade-Style Games


Day 1: Guess the Number Game

What You'll Build: A game where the computer picks a random number
(1-100) and the player guesses it.

python
Copy
import random

number = random.randint(1, 100)


attempts = 0

print("Guess the number (1-100)!")


while True:
guess = int(input("Your guess: "))
attempts += 1

if guess < number:


print("Too low!")
elif guess > number:
print("Too high!")
else:
print(f"Correct! You took {attempts} attempts.")
break

Mod Challenge: Add limited attempts (e.g., 10 tries max).

Day 2: Rock-Paper-Scissors

What You'll Build: Play against the computer in this classic game.

python
Copy
import random

choices = ["rock", "paper", "scissors"]


computer = random.choice(choices)

player = input("Choose rock/paper/scissors: ").lower()


print(f"Computer chose: {computer}")
if player == computer:
print("Tie!")
elif (player == "rock" and computer == "scissors") or \
(player == "paper" and computer == "rock") or \
(player == "scissors" and computer == "paper"):
print("You win!")
else:
print("Computer wins!")

Mod Challenge: Add a best-of-5 rounds system.

Day 3: Dice Rolling Simulator

What You'll Build: Simulate rolling dice with customizable sides.

python
Copy
import random

def roll_dice(sides=6):
return random.randint(1, sides)

print("Dice Rolling Simulator!")


sides = int(input("How many sides? (Default: 6) ") or 6)

while True:
input("Press Enter to roll (or 'q' to quit)...")
if input().lower() == 'q':
break
print("You rolled:", roll_dice(sides))

Mod Challenge: Add a 2-player mode.

Day 4: Hangman Game

What You'll Build: Guess letters to save a stick figure from hanging!

python
Copy
import random

words = ["python", "programming", "hangman", "computer"]


word = random.choice(words)
guessed = ["_"] * len(word)
tries = 6

print(" ".join(guessed))
while tries > 0 and "_" in guessed:
guess = input("Guess a letter: ").lower()
if guess in word:
for i, letter in enumerate(word):
if letter == guess:
guessed[i] = guess
else:
tries -= 1
print(f"Wrong! {tries} tries left.")
print(" ".join(guessed))

if "_" not in guessed:


print("You won!")
else:
print(f"Game over! The word was: {word}")

Mod Challenge: Add a scoreboard.

Week 2: Advanced Arcade Games


Day 5: Tic-Tac-Toe (2 Players)

What You'll Build: The classic 3x3 grid game.

python
Copy
def print_board(board):
for row in board:
print(" | ".join(row))
print("-" * 9)

def check_win(board):
# Check rows, columns, diagonals
for row in board:
if row[0] == row[1] == row[2] != " ":
return True
for col in range(3):
if board[0][col] == board[1][col] == board[2][col] != " ":
return True
if board[0][0] == board[1][1] == board[2][2] != " ":
return True
if board[0][2] == board[1][1] == board[2][0] != " ":
return True
return False

board = [[" " for _ in range(3)] for _ in range(3)]


current_player = "X"

while True:
print_board(board)
print(f"Player {current_player}'s turn.")
row = int(input("Row (0-2): "))
col = int(input("Column (0-2): "))

if board[row][col] == " ":


board[row][col] = current_player
if check_win(board):
print_board(board)
print(f"Player {current_player} wins!")
break
current_player = "O" if current_player == "X" else "X"
else:
print("Spot taken! Try again.")

Mod Challenge: Add a single-player vs AI mode.

Day 6: Snake Game (Using Pygame)

What You'll Build: The iconic Nokia-style snake game.

python
Copy
import pygame
import time
import random

pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((600, 400))
pygame.display.set_caption("Snake Game")

snake = [(200, 200)]


direction = "RIGHT"
food = (random.randint(0, 59) * 10, random.randint(0, 39) * 10)

clock = pygame.time.Clock()

while True:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
pygame.quit()
exit()
if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
if event.key == pygame.K_UP and direction != "DOWN":
direction = "UP"
elif event.key == pygame.K_DOWN and direction != "UP":
direction = "DOWN"
elif event.key == pygame.K_LEFT and direction != "RIGHT":
direction = "LEFT"
elif event.key == pygame.K_RIGHT and direction != "LEFT":
direction = "RIGHT"

# Move snake
head_x, head_y = snake[0]
if direction == "UP":
new_head = (head_x, head_y - 10)
elif direction == "DOWN":
new_head = (head_x, head_y + 10)
elif direction == "LEFT":
new_head = (head_x - 10, head_y)
elif direction == "RIGHT":
new_head = (head_x + 10, head_y)
snake.insert(0, new_head)

# Check food collision


if snake[0] == food:
food = (random.randint(0, 59) * 10, random.randint(0, 39) * 10)
else:
snake.pop()

# Draw everything
screen.fill((0, 0, 0))
for segment in snake:
pygame.draw.rect(screen, (0, 255, 0), (segment[0], segment[1], 10, 10))
pygame.draw.rect(screen, (255, 0, 0), (food[0], food[1], 10, 10))

pygame.display.update()
clock.tick(15)

Note: Requires pip install pygame.


Mod Challenge: Add a score counter.
