I built a jump ‘n’ run game called Blockplay. The goal is to get across the platform to the finish line as quickly as possible. The course is randomly generated each time. I also added a menu system that generates menus based on a dictionary where each type represents a specific element. (This was used for the settings menu.) I think the project is quite nice, and I learned a lot in the process. This was my first real experience with Pygame. The game itself is still expandable, but this definitely represents a milestone for me. I hope you like it as much as I do.

I’ve finished the camera class and the class for generating and rendering platform positions for now. I also split the game into multiple files.

Hi, I’m AJGecko. My goal is to create a platformer game using python and pygame. The name of the game is Blockplay (subject to change). Pygame is completely new to me, so I’m excited to see how far I’ll get with this project. I’ve currently finished part of the start screen and the functionality for the buttons. I’ve also written a few helper functions and am just starting to create the classes for the player and the platforms.
