Overview:

This lab aims to familiarize you with Python, Pygame and a few concepts needed for ETGG 1802.  Students will be creating a 2D particle module that can be utilized in future game environment projects.

Objectives:

• Get use to working in groups.

• Brush up on Python & Pygame.

• Recap on simple game logic.

• Practice object oriented programming.

Mission:

• Create a Particle System Module

• Create a particle class

• Needs to be able to move.

• Use alpha blending.

• Create an emitter class

• Controls particles

• Able to change emitter style/shape.

• Game

• Compensate for different computer speeds.

• Able to spawn/move an emitter with button click.

• Runs main game loop.

• Bonus Ideas:

• Particle Physics

• Gravity & Floor collision

• Make a game out of it.

• Think of ways games use particles.
