Rice Rocks in Github

I found a rice rocks repository on Github. This includes comments and revisions on the repository that are helpful for making a highly polished code. This also includes all the resources such as photos and animations. There are also forks off of the repo that have modified version to analyze.

Codeskulpter Online IDE

I discovered the Codeskulptor has an online IDE where I can play around with the code. I can even run simplegui in the window.

Porting Codeskulter to Pygame

In the necessary process of porting Codeskulpters code for the rice rocks game to pygame, I had to do much research on what functions to change.

On the codeskulpters page, there is a convenient guide on how to change the code.

This was extremely helpful when attempting to change the code.

Using the Game Clock for Animations

In pygame, the animations such as a radar can be based off of the game clock. When initialized the clock can be assigned a name and used to trigger various in-game events.

Side scroller

Jackson, Dylon, and I have created a premise for a game. It will be a sidescrolling action game with rpg elements. The game will utilize custom sprites and design.
