tilegamelib helps create pygame-based games that have graphics consisting of small square-shaped tiles (think Sokoban, Pacman, Tetris, Atomix and their countless siblings).

It is assumed that you have Python 3.5 or higher. The instructions here work for Linux and Windows. I have no idea how pygame works on MacOS.

The installation should handle itself:

pip install tilegamelib

However, if this fails, feel encouraged to download the source code and try the following steps:

Just try:

pip install pygame

Set the PYTHONPATH environment variable to the directory in which this README file is (In Spyder, check the "Tools" menu).

Alternatively, you can try a local installation using pip:

pip install --editable .

hg clone https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame
cd pygame
python3 setup.py install --prefix="$HOME/.virtualenvs/tilegamelib"

Run the programs in the examples/ directory:

• examples/sliding_puzzle.py
• examples/collect_fruit.py
• examples/boxes.py
• examples/snake.py
• examples/pac.py
• examples/starscape/starscape.py
• examples/frutris/frutris.py

cd test
python test_all.py
