How to download the game

The first step is to clone the repository:

git clone https://gitea.tforgione.fr/tforgione/pytron

Then, ensure you have python and pygame installed. You can test you have everything by executing the following command:

python -c "import pygame"
  • if you get a python: command not found, it means you don't have python, you can install it on ubuntu like so:

    sudo apt install python
    
  • if you get a ImportError: No module named 'pygame', it means you don't have pygame, you can install it on ubuntu like so:

    sudo apt install python-pip
    sudo pip3 install pygame
    

How to play the game

There are two runnable scripts in the repository, which are mostly here to be examples:

  • play.py which shows how to create a game with a window and play against an AI.
  • headless.py which shows how to run a game with AIs without watching the interface, and thus, really fast.
