Making Games with ppb
summary
Hands-on walkthrough that uses the ppb engine to get a working game from a blank Python file to two small demos: a shooter and a virtual pet. Steps include installing ppb, creating a window, defining ppb event-driven sprites, wiring input handlers and an update loop, spawning projectiles, placing five targets, doing circle collision by comparing radii with vector math, and removing off‑screen objects (or else the game slows). The pet demo adds an idle subsystem for hunger/age via dataclasses events, shows feeding, image import from Piskel, and packaging/entry-point setup; examples run live but note missing camera-bounds helpers and an off-screen cleanup caveat.
