This is a little project I made to learn SDL.
Most notably, the things I was trying to learn were:
- Creating a window and rendering context
- Handling input
- Playing audio
- Managing a constant framerate
- This isn't perfect, but I think I did an okay job. I still have more to learn about VSync.
There's nothing groundbreaking here, but I found a lot of useful examples while I was making this, so hopefully this can help someone else who is learning their way around SDL.
- Create a Python 3.10 virtual environment
- Pip install the requirements from
requirements.txt - Run the
main.pyfile.
If you are on Windows, the .dll files are provided.
If you are on another operating system, you'll have to provide your own library files for:
- SDL2
- SDL2_image
- SDL2_mixer
- SDL2_ttf
Place those in the dll folder.
You can get the library files from https://github.com/libsdl-org

The computer player isn't particularly well made, and there is no win condition.
