Which language should I use to program small games?

Answer 1

Thank you sooooo much for your help, now I can continue learning python (because it really didn't teach me much and it was hard)

Answer 2

look up a tutorial on pygame, I can send you some examples too if you would like

Answer 3

@Jason Wade

Heres as example of a basic game using pygame. You'll have to install pygame first to be able to use it, so this won't run in the basic solo learn compiler.

# Import PYGAME
import pygame
import random
# INITialize pygame
pygame.init()

# Open a WINDOW of size [500, 300]
window = pygame.display.set_mode([500, 300])

# --- Variables --- #

# Create variable caught with value False
caught = False

# Create variable done with value False
done = False
r = random.randint(50, 255)
# Define RECT shape called ball with starting point
# 225, 0, and width and height 50
ball = pygame.Rect(r, 0, 50, 50)

# Define RECT shape called player with starting point
# 200, 280, width 100, and height 20
# ---> TEST AFTER THIS LINE <--- #
player = pygame.Rect(r - 20, 280, 100, 20)

#### ---- MAIN LOOP ---- ####

# While not caught and not done
while not caught and not done:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
done = True
# --- Mouse Clicks --- #

# ELIF event.type is MOUSEBUTTONDOWN
elif event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
distance = player.y - ball.y
# If the distance is between 0 and 50
if distance <= 50 and distance >= 0:
caught = True

# Set caught to True
# ---> TEST AFTER THIS LINE <--- #

# --- Move Ball --- #

# Increment ball.y by 5
ball.y += 10

# If ball.y is more than 300
if ball.y > 300:

# Set ball.y to 0
# ---> TEST AFTER THIS LINE <--- #
ball.y = 0

# --- Draw --- #

# FILL the window with WHITE
window.fill((0, 0, 0))

# Draw the player RECT with a color of your choice
pygame.draw.rect(window, (255, 0, 0), player)

# Draw the ball ELLIPSE with a color of your choice
pygame.draw.ellipse(window, (0, 255, 0), ball)
pygame.display.flip()
pygame.time.wait(10)

Answer 4

I tried python, but I don't see how I can make a game with that :(

Answer 6

I forgot to mention a couple of other things:
look into Lua (programming language). The syntax is fairly simple and somewhat easy to pick up. Also, check out Löve. Löve is a 2D (and 3D) game engine which uses Lua as its programming language (very nice).
I checked it out a few months ago and found it quite fun using Löve and Lua. there are quite a bit of tutorials on YouTube.

Answer 7

python

Answer 8

@Gabe Vogel please

Answer 9

If you want any other examples I have ~50 more that I can send you, but it will have to be through email ([e-mail] as they are over the max characters that solo-learn allows in a comment.
