Level Up with Python: Building a Shooter Game Live with PyGame
summary
A live coding session builds a working 2D shooter with PyGame (notes on PyGame vs PyGame CE) including a movable player, bullets that move ~6 px/frame, enemies spawning with random X and speed 3–5, and collision that removes both bullet and enemy and adds +10 score per hit. Core mechanics use a 60 FPS loop, an event-driven enemy spawn, and a 250 ms cooldown between shots; code and assets are published on llla.dev/socials.
