Originally created for CodeMash 2025 Divez Session - So you want to make video games? - Super Sky Squadron II: The Flying Ace Follies - found here: https://github.com/tyraziel/codemash25-pygame-ce.git

Pre-Requisites

• A laptop capable of running python3 with pygame-ce and installing various pip packages, and running some type of editor and unzip capabilities.
• Python 3
• pygame-ce (ansible-core on linux based systems)
• git (to clone the project, but could download as zip - https://github.com/tyraziel/codemash25-pygame-ce/archive/refs/heads/main.zip)
• A text editor - VS Code (prefered)
• Assets downloaded and installed (via the scripts in setup/)

Quick Setup Guide

This guide assumes you already have a version of python 3 installed and have working knowledge of python, python virtual environments and the command line.

NOTE: A major difference between Windows and Linux is windows generally uses python and Linux generally uses python3.

Windows (via Windows Powershell)

Run the following commands from a Powershell Command Prompt

python -m venv .pygame-ce-codemash25
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope Process
./.pygame-ce-codemash25/Scripts/activate
git clone https://github.com/tyraziel/codemash25-pygame-ce.git
cd codemash25-pygame-ce
pip install -r requirements.txt
cd setup
./setup.ps1
cd ../
python codemash2025.py

Linux Based Environments

Ensure that you have a unzip/zip utility before executing the ansible playbook command.

python3 -m venv .pygame-ce-codemash25
source ./.pygame-ce-codemash25/bin/activate
git clone https://github.com/tyraziel/codemash25-pygame-ce.git
cd codemash25-pygame-ce
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
pip3 install ansible-core
cd setup
ansible-playbook setup.yaml
cd ../
python3 codemash2025.py

For more detailed instructions look at SETUP.md

Refresh / Update

At anytime either re-download the zip file, or execute a git pull from the project root to get any last minute updates.
