7 PM – Python Game Development
January 13, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
- We went over the homework and finished adding the “Bird” class.
- We modified “Bird” to move and added a Birdie method to create an additional Bird at a random location.
- We refactored the configurations/constants to a “config.py” file.
- We implemented a technique to slow down the number of birds created by spawning a new bird after 40 frames.
- You can find the current project files here.
- Homework:
- Reset the `bird_creation_timer` to the original value after creating a new bird, so that a new bird is created about once every second.
- We currently are only loading one bird image every time a bird is created. Instead, select a random bird image using random.choice. First create a list of possible bird filenames. Then use random.choice to pick a random name and then load it when a new bird is created.
