Hi, coders! Today I will show you guys, how to build one of the most popular games that we used to play during our kids & used to think to built i.e “Space Shooter”. So, today we have written a blog on how to easily build python space shooter game using pygame. Following are steps to build space shooter game,
Requirements:
- A PC with any OS installed in it. You can choose Mac Book, Asus Zenbook, Dell Inspiron, or any Pc with a high processor.
- The latest version of Python3 which can be easily downloaded from https://www.python.org/downloads/[For installing you can check this blog]
- A good Code IDE [ Prefer using VS Code or Atom]
- Your focus
Tutorial:
- Firstly, open your cmd[Command Prompt] and type the following command after installing python from https://pypi.org/project/pygame/
- pip install pygame
- pip install random2
- Secondly, copy the following codes provided along with resources that you can get in the download button below.
- Lastly, run the python code with python main.py command.[Here, main.py is the file name]. That’s it!

Conclusion:
Though all the instructions are given easily but to avoid any issue while running the Dino Run game following the instruction carefully. If any issue occurs contact us by emailing us. Also, let us know whether this blog helps you or not in the comment section below. Thank you!
