Setting Up

We'll be using a Python module called Pygame to prototype this demonstration game. To install Pygame, go to the links below.

Python and Pygame downloads, for Windows:
http://www.python.org/download/

For Mac:
Python 2.4:
http://pythonmac.org/packages/py24-fat/index.html
or Python 2.5:
http://pythonmac.org/packages/py25-fat/index.html
Be sure to get the Python, pyobjc, and pygame packages from the list if you don't have them already.

Also, you'll need the demonstration files I've prepared for this class. Download one of the "demo" files you see linked below, either the .zip or .tar.gz file.
