## Overview

In this tutorial, we build a basic Pygame application that demonstrates how to create and use buttons. The tutorial covers setting up the Pygame window, creating button objects, detecting button presses, and handling button events.

## Features

- **Pygame Window Setup:** Initialize a Pygame window with a specified width and height.
- **Buttons:** Create and display interactive buttons that respond to user inputs.
- **Event Handling:** Detect button presses and perform actions based on those events.
- **Visual Feedback:** Visual representation of buttons and their states.

## Code Structure

- **main.py:** The main script that initializes the Pygame window, handles events, checks for button presses, and renders the game objects.
- **button.py:** A separate module containing the `Button` class, which manages the button's image, position, scaling, drawing, and press detection.

## How to Run

1. Clone this repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/educ8s/pygame-buttons-tutorial.git
cd pygame-buttons-tutorial
```

2. Ensure you have Python and Pygame installed. You can install Pygame using pip:
```bash
pip install pygame
```

3. Place your button images and background image in the `Graphics` directory.

4. Run the `main.py` script:
```bash
python main.py
```

## Usage

- Run the script and a window titled "Pygame Buttons Tutorial" will appear.
- The start button and exit button will be displayed.
- Clicking the start button will print "Start Button pressed" to the console.
- Clicking the exit button will close the Pygame window and exit the program.

## Dependencies

- Python 3.x
- Pygame
