Learn how to code Arcade games in Python! We will use the Python Arcade Library to code games. Arcade is a very easy to use library. It is more intuitive, requires less boiler-plate code and more Pythonic than Pygame. The library has many contributors on Github and is actively maintained with almost daily updates.

Learn to code the following games:

1) Tank Attacks: A top-down tank shooting game.

2) Brick Breaker: Classic brick breaker game.

3) Platformer Game: A Mario-like side-scrolling platformer game(side scrolling, with climbing ladders and moving platforms). This game is written from scratch; we implement all of the platformer collisions and resolution without using any physics library.

4) Tetris.

And more to come soon!

1) Drawing basic shapes
