It is based on the tutorial at \u003chttps://pythonprogramming.net/pygame-python-3-part-1-intro/\u003e, although I have implemented it in an object-oriented way (along with other changes to the program's design).\n\n## Usage\n\nStart by cloning this repository to a folder of your choice. Commands in this guide assume the working directory is set to the root of this repository.\n\nIn general, you'll need Python 3.8 or above, and the `pygame` Python package available. For the platforms that I've tested the game on, there are some specific instructions below.\n\n### Arch Linux\n\n1. Install the `python` and `python-pygame` packages, e.g. by running `sudo pacman -S python python-pygame`\n2. Run the game: `python3 main.py`\n\n### Android (Termux)\n\nThe game seems to work under Android using [Termux](https://termux.dev/) with the experimental [Termux:X11](https://github.com/termux/termux-x11) add-on. Start by installing the dependencies:\n\u003c!-- Pygame dependencies source: https://www.reddit.com/r/termux/comments/ks6xi4/pygame_on_termux/ --\u003e\n```bash\n$ pkg install python\n$ pkg install sdl2 sdl2-image sdl2-ttf xorgproto # Libaries required by pygame\n$ pip install pygame\n```\n\nThen, launch an X11 session ([see the Termux:X11 documentation for guidance](https://github.com/termux/termux-x11#running-graphical-applications)) and start the game:\n```bash\n$ python3 main.py\n```\n\n### PostmarketOS\n\nNote: This should also work for Alpine Linux in general, although you may have to replace `sudo` with whatever tool your system uses for elevating permissions, e.g. `doas`.\n\n```sh\n$ sudo apk add python3 py3-pygame\n$ python3 main.py\n```\n\n### Zorin OS\n\nThese instructions should also work on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, which Zorin OS is based on.\n\n```bash\n$ sudo apt install python3 python3-pygame\n$ python3 main.py\n```\n\n## Tips\n\n### Desktop entry\n\nTo avoid having to start the game from the terminal, you can create a [desktop entry](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/desktop_entries) to launch it from your applications menu. Be sure to use the absolute path to Python and set `Path` to the root of this repository (so that the game can find its assets). A simple example is shown below (replace `/path/to/` with the actual path to the cloned repository):\n```desktop\n[Desktop Entry]\nType=Application\nName=A Bit Racey\nExec=/usr/bin/python3 /path/to/a-bit-racey/main.py\nPath=/path/to/a-bit-racey/\nTerminal=false\nCategories=Game;\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frandomsearch18%2Fa-bit-racey","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Frandomsearch18%2Fa-bit-racey","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frandomsearch18%2Fa-bit-racey/lists"}
